Hey all!
You all know the old mythology of phoenix, I think... So. Sawing kaos - knew by his games with more then 2000 points - at an unlimited table with less then 1400 points brought me up to this idea: How cool should it be to rise up like phoenix out of his ashes after a crash-down like this? So I started a new avatar and crashed him down under 1000 points. I´m actually with 994 points the 3rd-worst player... In the next days I will try to get a one-day-gain of perhaps 700 or 800 points... Who will bet with me? Who will be better? Join the PHOENIX-contest! euer dumpfbaeckchen from wikipedia... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_%28mythology%29 ... At the end of its life-cycle the phoenix builds itself a nest of cinnamon twigs that it then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix arises... |

can you explain this in a way others understand this? |

at 5:41 PM, Monday January 29, 2007 EST Ok. Update on my descent. I am at 986, and I see no real reason to keep going, and so I will stop here as my low point. I won't play any more games on JDizzle until tomorrow. I will update my milestones, 1300+, 1500+, 1700+ (haven't yet ever made it to 1900.) I will update either on PHEONIX contest profile or forum. Whichever you preferr.

at 7:41 PM, Monday January 29, 2007 EST games played: 165
score: 1508 That's +546 points/21 games I hope I can keep that speed up :) I agree, the time thing isn't good. I can't play every day. I suggest the least games for 1000 points-trophy. Requirement is having at least 950 points (it makes no sense to have a max-limit, cause rising is easier the lower you are: just let a 1600+ guy try to beat us in rising...). I'll keep you informed... |

at 9:44 PM, Monday January 29, 2007 EST @fuzzycat: i didnt record my first rises in one day. First games will be the games which give most points. 80 or 60? points are the maximum a won game will give you.

at 10:25 PM, Monday January 29, 2007 EST So I will start myself - 49 played games with 982 points...
Whe have to make the decision who will get the trophy - I´m still prefering the - "one-day-gain" or the - "900" or "1000"-points-trophy Then there´s still the biggest gain after 20 games... Please vote! |

at 7:17 AM, Tuesday January 30, 2007 EST After 15 games I must admit, that it´s not the easy way I thought... bad placements, bad luck and even very bad players might catch you...
15 games, 1375 points now, gain +393 points... |

at 9:20 AM, Tuesday January 30, 2007 EST I made the 1700:
1718 with 178 games played (34 since rising) that's a total of 756 points in 34 games. 21 games for 1500, then 13 for 1700. What else do you want to know? |
