At first glance, Weekly Minutes Played is the lowest percentage of the four items that impact your overall game rank amount other players.
At 10%, Weekly Minutes Played is half of the third item - Total IM which provides 20% of your ranked score. Or said in another way, you would gain 100% more by focusing on Total IM than if you focused on Weekly Minutes Played.
But that is not the case, "Numbers Can Be Misleading"
I have learned over my many years in Finance that people can look at numbers several different ways and come up with the opposite explanation regarding what it may or may not represent.
I like looking at real life examples, like this one.
In looking at my four items that are included in the ranking and comparing them to a player with a higher rank, it is very clear which Stat has the most impact.
| Stat | My Stats | Player Ranked 337 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Unique Cards | 440 | 443 | -3 |
| Total Cards: | 1275 | 914 | +361 |
| Total IM: | 285 | 157 | +128 |
| Weekly Minutes Played: | 5240 | 5400 | -160 |
The player I am comparing my stats to has a ranking score 57 points higher than mine (12017 vs 11960). My stats are much higher in Total Cards and Total IM and only 3 Unique cards lower. The big difference is in the Weekly Minutes Played where there is 160 point difference.
Due to this comparison, I will continue to focus on my Weekly Minutes Played to keep that stat as high as possible while I work on the other three stats.
I will also continue to add as many unique cards to my collection each week to ensure I do not fall behind in that area.
My Ranking and Level
I made considerable progress this week in my ranking. I moved from 387 last week to 341 this week.
This past week, my weekly minutes jumped 5240 compared to 4650 weekly mission minutes the prior week. After looking at my total IM I am not as worried as I have been in the past. I know it is an important stat but it does not seem to make a meaningful impact to the ranking not like weekly minutes and unique cards do.
It will be very important for me to keep my weekly minutes at this level if I want to stay at this ranking or improve it further.
I was able to add another level this week. I reached level 123 just 2 levels away from unlocking the next mission. I need another 1098 points to reach level 124. I should be able to reach level 125 in another week or two. I can't wait until I am able to unlock and run the next mission.
Purchased Rare People
Since I have been drawing more temporary drunk fans than I would like, I decided again this week to add more people cards. I choose four Rare cards that I do not have in my collection:
- R267 Michaela
- R257 MC Charge Rapper
- R254 Rudolph
- R247 Kendal
These cards will add additional Fans and Skill which I really need.
