@Fizza ok cool, how long do we wait for the other participants? Trust me when I say two players is not enough 😅

@Fizza of you have people on your friends list you could invite, you could set up a password free room and send an invitation. That's how I was doing it earlier and I got two other players to join me

@Otoemetry Gotcha, will do so after this

Alright: since it's not really working out with only 2, I'm going to come back tomorrow when our schedules probably line up better 👍

@Fizza sorry another friend invited me and I saw they had 3 players, I couldn't resist! I'm not sure the king salmonid will turn up during eggstra work so I'm not sure how committed I am to a high score chase... But if you get 3 players tomorrow let me know!

@Otoemetry That's completely fine man! I have a bit to do tonight anyway so I'll be up and at 'em tomorrow!

@Fizza so I've managed to get a high score of 166 eggs and I'm pretty proud of that, but I think with more practice it would be possible to get huge numbers of eggs. According to Reddit the estimate for top 50%/20%/5% is 113/136/172 respectively but I have a feeling the actual numbers will be way higher, there is a maximum egg limit but I imagine the best teams will easily reach that number given you can learn where each boss appears during each wave and predict your next target... I do not have any delusions about being able to reach those lofty heights but I reckon it would be easy enough to get into the top 20% considering I managed to do that in Big Run with a team of 4 randoms.

@Budda @BenAV which weapons do you prefer? Since you have to stick with the same weapon (and annoyingly the special is tied to that as well, meaning my favoured weapon comes with the least useful special for SR) it's probably a good idea to figure out who's comfortable with what as everyone must choose a different weapon. We could rotate it, if everyone loathes chargers like I do, for instance.

Let me know what you think, and also what time tomorrow you want to play.

@Otoemetry @Fizza
If you still want to play, I have time till 4pm your time.

@Budda sure, I'll come online now. Do you have online friends you can invite while we wait?

@Budda @Otoemetry Sorry, I've been asleep and only just saw you message now XD

If you're still on I'd love to join now!

@Fizza @Budda not sure where you've gone but I'll take 170 eggs that's for sure! Hopefully that'll be enough to secure a top 20% position, let me know if you wanna team up again in future!

@Otoemetry @Fizza
The games with you were... ok.
But we had to go now. Sorry.
At least we managed to play a few games!

Edit:
Me and MEL managed to get 193 Gold Eggs.

@Otoemetry
I'm in a Pool. Basically with randoms.
I think the Grillers and Goldie Waves only made a difference one time. We only got to around 170 Eggs the rest of the time. We got lucky. It wasn't too different to our run with you guys.

@Budda ah right, that's good to know. If the Reddit predictions are correct you'll be the proud owner of the top 5% rewards, though as I said earlier I have a feeling those numbers were a little low given the way you can basically predict each wave after a few tries.

@Otoemetry If you're on about the egg numbers in the tweet (top 5% = 172, top 20% = 136, top 50% = 113), those are sample numbers. Big Run results were always a lot higher than the sample results so it's safe to say it'll be the same here.

Grumblevolcano

Otoemetry

@Grumblevolcano yes those are the ones I saw on Reddit, I don't know the sample numbers for big run but I'm sure I managed to get into the top 20% with 117 eggs last time... though I might be misremembering. Which percentile does a silver statue correlate to? I was thinking it was green for bottom 50%, bronze for 50%-20%, silver for 20%-5%, and gold for 5%+

Otoemetry

@Otoemetry The sample Big Run numbers were:

  • Top 5% = 102
  • Top 20% = 73
  • Top 50% = 55

Meanwhile the results for the 2 Big Run events that happened were:

Wahoo World

  • Top 5% = 137
  • Top 20% = 113
  • Top 50% = 88

Inkblot Art Academy

  • Top 5% = 141
  • Top 20% = 117
  • Top 50% = 90

Your percentiles are right so silver is 5% - 20%.

Grumblevolcano

Otoemetry

@Grumblevolcano oh wow where did you get the numbers? That's really useful, thanks.

Do we know how the sample numbers are calculated? I only ask since the sample numbers for eggstra work seem much higher than the ones for big run, so perhaps they've increased their estimates?
