Anything below rank 8 is irrelevant. Only 8 people put up 1 million + points.

Where do you see people's ranks?

DNA is very good at statistics/probability, and has a lot of time on his hands: this side quest was basically made for him.

He's probably also collating data on the side quest and/or Realm Event.

Less time than normal; I’ve been traveling for the past week and had less time than I expected.

It took me about 280 rounds to get to 317210. I spent 900 units on energy refills, but I also had a ton of energy piled up (as I usually do). I didn’t track refills I didn’t spend units on, but it was probably another 50 or 60 of them between inventory, stash, and other refills I earned/claimed through the week.

My average points per round (using 30 energy) seems to be hovering around 1135, which is about 375 base points. This is roughly in between double trouble (325) and triple threat (425).

My basic strategy has been fairly simple. In round one I keep the best scoring hand (of course) except one pair. If I have one pair I will generally toss them in favor of whichever suit I have two of. However, in round two and higher I will keep one pair over non-scoring hands. Where I have a choice between keeping three cards to the straight or three to the flush I keep the flush.

Where I have multiple options for keeping partial straights/flushes I will keep alive straight flushes and royal flushes. In other words, if I have twelve/eleven blue and eight/six/three red, I will keep the blue even though statistically speaking that’s probably not points-optimal. But that’s mostly because I’m still trying to get the top two hands. Best I’ve gotten so far is four of a kind a few times.

Because I’m not sitting in front of a computer all day I also don’t have as much data on the Realm event, but I can say that as I write this the pace to reach the top realm milestone would have us at almost 10 billion points and we’re currently above 14 billion, but the hourly pace to reach the top is significantly higher than where we are now, so we’ll have to see how this all shakes out in the coming weeks.

Was there a reason you pushed so high or did you enjoy the mode that much?

I wanted to see how far I could go. Also, the knew people would want to know how much effort it took.

I also have two alts that I did much less effort to see where they landed. In one, I did 78105 and landed in the 2-5% bracket, and in the other I did 61300 and landed in the 6-10% bracket, which suggests the 5% cutoff was somewhere in the general vicinity of 70k or so.
