| Having 5 or 6 swaps would be nice. 4 feels like such an awkward number, with 3 of them pretty much guaranteed to be used on lower-scoring anime just for acing purposes almost every season. Leaves close to no room for actual strategy and forces you to use that wildcard extra swap. |

| The badge is real cool. I love green. I almost made it this season lol, but not as good as the previous because I don't look at the weekly progress that much, but its still fun. I will join again (also for the badge) |
 |
| My first time playing this. Very luck! |
Hello! Have nice day!!  |
| Let's try this and see how it goes |
SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI  |
| Here https://fal.myanimelist.net/summer_2023 choose what anime you want. |
| Great! Summer, ah summer =) |
| May be some anime? |
| It would be great if the post explained better what is FAL and how to get the badge. I think the description as it is now is too confusing for someone first time looking at this. |
 |
| Getting the feeling I'll end up doing worse than last season but I like that badge so might as well try. :s xxsarahsaczxx said: So you can only participate if you have/are in the Discord? No. You don't have to have/be in the discord to participate. |
Kineta said: Also, let me know: What do you think about the idea of increasing the number of swaps? 👀 1- I did my list a couple of weeks ago, but just realized The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 isn't listed. Just wanted to bring that to someone's attention. It would change my team if it were. 2- I rarely run out of swaps so I see no need for it, but if you do I wouldn't let it be free as someone stated above. Let the first 4 or even 2 be free as they are not but charge points for the others. |
Joshhhp said: Finally a FAL event for Summer. The profile badge looks very nice, probably my favorite so far and it's the main reason I will participate again Did you figure it out? Click in Kineta's post where she has "Make Your Team." It will take you to the page and the directions. Also, at the top left under the Anime tab, FAL is the last option. |

Let the first 4 or even 2 be free as they are not but charge points for the others. Eminence in shadow s2 is in fall 2023, not summer 2023. It got mistakenly put in summer because of the wrong airing date of July 1, which is not the actual air date, but just the date for Anime Expo airing Sooo what you're saying is I can stop looking for it then? LOL Thanks. |
| @Kineta What if anime related increase its member over 75k in the end of week but we choose it as Ace when its around 50k member in the early of week, is it counted as Ace or invalid ? |

It'll be considered as invalid, and you will lose 5k points. Ace points, like other points, are only calculated at the end of the week By the way, just to be clear, 75k is referring to watching/completed, not total members. It'll be considered as invalid, and you will lose 5k points |

Lipnitskaya said: Can you ace an anime that pass the threshold in the current week ? zom100 for instance can still be aced at 100,146 users In rules it's stated that:
|
| For FAL veterans who are/aren't participating this season, if you don't mind helping Suppose i've aced one anime last week and this is the stats today (day of calculation): Anime 1: 50k points (aced last week and won) Anime 2: 40k points Anime 3: 30k points Anime 4: 20k points Anime 5: 10k points Anime 1 in my case will win the most points but can no longer be aced, so what happens if i ace anime 2? Does an aced / correctly-aced anime still count as part of the calculation? And if not, so anime 2 will win in my case this week? |

If you ace anime 2 while anime 1 still is below 75k watching + completed, you'll lose points. Here is a handy flowchart from Spring, just keep in mind that the ace threshold is 75k now and not 80k:  |
| @Samii I see, so the right choice would be to not ace anything this week, since anime 1 in my case is still under 75k watching+completed. Thank you for the help, and for sharing the chart. Much appreciated. |

Does an aced / correctly-aced anime still count as part of the calculation? And if not, so anime 2 will win in my case this week? Sadly if you guessed Anime 2, you've lost your bet. It happened to me. I aced Anime 1 in Week 1 & won. Anime 1 is not longer eligible to be aced but still performed better in Week 2. I selected Anime 2 based on the description. Anime 2 was the second best in Week 2 but I still lost as they considered Anime 1 participation in Week 2 as well for me. Its like we can Ace only once in whole season comfortably. Acing another time & winning can only happen if we sacrifice some points by swapping the best show to bench & letting our guess win the bet. I wonder how will it be any useful afterall as season progress, more points will be lost due to swapping the best show out & not to forget swap is wasted. Another way we can win Ace 2 is when the best show of one week is outperformed by another anime in some other week. Sadly that rarely happens as Top anime usually retains its position after Week 2 or 3 till end of season. Fortunately, i chose to not ace anything on week 2. Though it's kind of a headache deciding whether to swap & ace or not, like you mentioned. Did some calculation (point trajectory with spreadsheet), acing an anime with 2nd most points does give more points than what is lost by swapping the best anime (gain 75k, lose 20-40k) although yes it would be a risky move considering we want the best selections for week 13 (final week) and it might require some prior swapping. I wish we had more swaps. From what i see so far i personally can only safely ace ~3/5 anime this season, although it can be less or more depending on the titles you chose. My current rank makes me sad lol. Those who aced on week 2 made delicious jumps through the ranks. |
