    ...Well, that's just not playing fair. Sure, Green displayed surprising tenacity, but doing that just to get into first place... surely SEGA should take action against it, especially since everyone seems to know what it was they did.
    Yes, the one with the Ship02 fats.

    It's a pretty simple and obvious strategy, though.

    Earn a boost.

    Don't hit the point cap when the boost isn't active.

    Earn points when it is.

    Though they got as far simply placing 3rd repeatedly, so it's not like this is the only reason they're so close to winning.

    Well, at least since people are well-aware of it and complaining in numerous places, they'll hopefully take measures to make the next contest more balanced.

    Pairing ships based on their actual population count would be a start.

    People on ship 1 had been complaining about the boosts, because they kept giving other teams free rides to 1st and 2nd. It'd be nice if the next time this happens, SEGA removes the boosts and does a better job at balancing the teams.

    Still though, gotta love how green took a broken system and worked it in their favor.

    Except this went beyond 'strategy' and into harassment of players who were just minding their own business.

    They paired the ships based on statistics from Luther and Elder. That was before the DDoS though, so Yellow got screwed when foreigners all got blocked and after the first round many people moved characters/created new characters in Ship 1 so they could get the boosts and rewards. Horrible design all around.

    Ties are separated by total round points.

    Are you talking about the Grand Prix, which involves the Quarry Mission?
