    The way I understand it, although your score may be correct “locally” (i.e. on your device, when you look on the left side of the event panel, it shows your “Challenge” score), your score also needs to update to Rovio’s servers for the purposes of the “Competition”.

    In theory, your Challenge score should equal your Competition score. However you’ll notice that from time to time your Competition score may show one number, but your Challenge score will show another. This is because of lag between when your achieve that score, and when it updates to the server.

    The problem is that if you run an event node very close to the daily cut-off time, it may not update to the server in time for it to count for that day. Similarly you may think that your opponent has a certain score, but because server updates work both ways, the score you see may not be what he actually has at the cut-off time, because your competition leaderboard that you’re looking at may not be the most up-to-date version because your device hasn’t refreshed with the latest scores yet.

    Anyways, that’s how I understand it. Perhaps someone can correct me if I’m wrong.

    Do you know what type of “structure” the third cube is coming from?

    The first one is an oil derrick positioned in the mid-ground, and the second one is a house positioned in the background.

    For the life of me, I can’t see a third.

    Thanks both for your info/input. Sounds like I fell victim to resting on a lead that was too narrow. Won’t happen again! haha.

    I swear, I have no idea what that is.

    @pampeans

    Who knew? (Ahem, apparently you did @20qmindreader) I destroy it, but I’m not missing any hearts when I do. I’ll have to pay attention to see if the hearts display when I hit it…

    But this light post will not fuel the Energonicon?

    I’m not trying to get hit by one to find out!

    @20qmindreader

    Hm, interesting. I’ve seen them lots of times, but I had no idea they actually did anything!

    Thanks for the heads up, lol!

    But the only effect is healing, correct? It doesn’t do anything to charge the energonicon ability?

    @franciscrawford

    Fair enough.

    Anyhow, my average after 25 runs was the same.

    After 30 runs the pattern was finally broken — I had 1 extra point beyond those required for a 58.80 average.

    @optimuspig – had to step away for a bit (real life demand and all that).

    I played another 4 nodes and it appears that I was wrong. I am getting the same two cubes you noted early on. I obviously missed noticing I had earning the second Energon cube early on 2-3 nodes and thought they came later. Getting both cubes early certainly does make easier work when battling Boss Pig.

    My apologies to you and anyone who chased this incorrect info.

    @20qmindreader- Thanks for the “light post” info. I always hit it, but not aware of any effect on the TF. Perhaps there Is bit of a celebration a TF makes after making that hit? I’ll have to pay attention…

    Ugh, frak, got caught on a client call longer than I’d expected – I came in one run short of having enough points to reach the 100 Challenge level. I was 55 points short, sigh.

    I hate how real life impedes on ABT and vice versa.

    No harm, no foul.

    I’m just glad to know that I’m neither going blind nor going crazy :p

    @optimuspig

    I stepped out of a planning commission meeting to make sure I got to 1,750 and then I noticed I only needed 3 runs to be ahead of 1st place, so I paid the gems, ran the four runs and went back to the meeting. I won! The smugness I feel now more than trumps the irritation my committee members felt when I came back after 20 minutes.

    Must be nice to work in the public sector ;)

    Way to go! Easy competition, to get the prizes, you find the time. I am sneaking in rounds also!

    @ef5ox

    Thanks! “Doing the math” is a lesson I learned from @optimuspig. It’s amazing how it removes the stress from the competition…

    Francis Crawford
    @franciscrawford

    I was 2 points behind on my leaderboard, paid in another tranche of gems, and wound up losing anyway. It was an expensive day, gem-wise.

    Francis Crawford
    @franciscrawford

    As for today in the early going:

    Highest scores on my leaderboard after 2 runs — 125
    Highest scores on my leaderboard after 4 runs — 250
    Highest scores on my leaderboard after 8 runs — 498

    I don’t think anybody will really come in with an average as high as 62.50 for the day.

    So, with just 40 gems (30 before yesterday and 10 yesterday) I unlock Windblade.
    I am not going to continue to play this event

    @talmud

    Hey Guys, has anyone reached 4000 token to ged wind blade yet? If yes how does the bird fare in a normal run? If no, how close are you to getting the new character? I’m at 3410 tokens so i’m close.
    Also does the last two days of the comp count as token exchange or what? It had better not…

    Can one play in the ABT tournament off line and come into a tournament with 25 minutes to go and take over second place?

    I am asking because that is what happened in yesterday’s tournament.
    Thoughout the entire day I kept a sheet on the top 9 players’ scores. Every few minutes I would check the scores. Every 55 minutes or so we would all play and most of the top nine players would increase their scores.

    With about 25 minutes remaining a player, Kaiden, comes out of nowhere into second place with a score of 1989. He was not in the top nine players throughout the entire day.

    I have never seen this happen before. Usually the players work their way up the rankings and others can watch on the leaderboards.

    I will upload pics if you need them.

    I’m reasonably sure that you can’t play the special event offline at all. I’ve tried and it won’t let me access the special event panel until I’ve connected to the server.

    @optimuspig
    Thanks for the update, I do not know because I always play ABT with the WiFi and connected to Facebook.


    @gradientturtle7

    What is your opinion on what happen yesterday as I mentioned above? I have another pic taken at 1 hour 2 minutes 50 seconds prior to the end of the game and Kaiden was not in the top 6 positions. The 6th position had a score of 1578.

    With 25 minutes and 6 seconds to go, Kaiden just pops into second place. I had my iPad on the Today’s Competition screen the last hour to see if there were any changes in the scores. He/she did not rise up from 6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd places. The screen changed and a new individual took over 2nd place. Nothing else changed.

    What is the official answer/explanation to the items in my note above and this one about the unusual situation experienced.

    @tripolar

    @wrw01 I pretty much had the same thing happen to me on day 4!
    Still not happy about it.. Like @pampeans,@optimuspig & I’m sure there are others… I’ve been keeping track of my leaderboard (with other mathimatical calculations included). The same experience you had, Ihad for 1st place & there was no one that should have been able to catch me. I kept looking, lovingin & out to try to force an uupdate of the scores. When it was done Ihad second place.

    I also find that it is a unusual that we only see our scores at the end and nobody elses… It’s the only AB game that does this, leaves me to think their maybe more going on behind the scenes…
