Firefighters got a lot of help from Blessings for next season. I gotta say the dimensional tear over LA might cause some issues.

Hopefully we're back next week, but they've put together a hell of an interactive system and understandingly need some rest. And of course, the commissioner is doing a great job.

Congrats comrades, I had all my money redistributed. (Just over 10K got me into the top 1%, which I didn't expect myself to be close. Probably a lesson in that.)

My Jazz Hands got some buffs, though, so I should bounce back OK.

I'm honestly curious how much the 1% had altogether, or, conversely, how many 99%ers there are. Not that itatyers or anything, I'm just interested in what could have been had we voted for something else, since everyone got all of not-quite two votes' worth of coin with what we had.

I feel like anybody that had been hoarding wealth for multiple seasons could just dump all of their money in peanuts/votes and secure their wealth anyway. Unless votes have to be spent during the season you buy them? I just started a few days ago so I'm still getting caught up on a lot.

I'd also assume that unless you are trying to hoard coins for some future expense (like one million peanuts), there's a theoretical maximum that anyone needs depending on your risk tolerance. Assuming 8000 coins bet per hour, what's your preferred multiplier? 1.5x? 2x? More?

Of course, you can always quickly liquidate it should an Eat the Rich pop up again.

I was at 0 at noon Friday with a few thousand in bets floating. Was over 10k after the championship then totally forgot to spend any of it, busy doing family stuff.

I just upped my max to 500, then max bet every game over 60%.

Once I get a bankroll again I'll push it up to 1k.

The 99% got 193 each so that means the average 1% had 99 times that, or 19,107.

People in the discord were saying they got clipped with as low as 8k~ so who knows how much the richest of the rich lost.

I got my maxbet as high it goes (800), was doing maxbets on literally every favourite, and peaked at around 40k coins before I dumped all but 2000 into maxing out passive income (60), votes and a couple buckets of peanuts.

Is this the move? I had gotten my max bet up to 200 and was betting all the favorites but found my bankroll fluctuated wildly.

I made a second account and instead prioritized passive income for a good team on that one.

i did this and just max bet from the best odds to the worst, and when i ran out of coins i'd beg for more and keep betting. if you're not begbetting every hour, raise the max and keep going. by the end of the week i had gotten the maxbet maxed out completely and had like 40k coins

get your passive up to like 20 or 30 payout but after that it gets more expensive than it's worth short term. if the team you pick wins like 60 games a season then you're paying [whatever the upgrade cost is] to get 1 extra coin a week

oh also betting on your own team was bugged and sometimes wouldn't payout, and/or wouldn't payout your passive at random, so i'd never bet on my own team (betting against them still worked though)

I did this and was able to max out my max bet by this morning.

I made a bunch of money and bought 1000 peanuts in an effort to Do My Part towards the million peanut consumption metagoal people seem to think exists, but turns out this squirrel won't eat peanuts automatically he just lets me eat 2 at a time. Sorta anticlimactic.

Best recommendation for now is to go on the Discord and join the Tacos channels. There you can see what the fans are prioritizing for the Elections.

However, it's probably best to focus on boosting your max bet until you can put down 800 on a game. Once you are that point the rest can be funneled into votes. That's what I did, I started late Thursday night in Season 3 and hit max this afternoon. (I also bought 1k peanuts.)
