| Big thanks to all (but especially Numi, like seriously, everyone go thank Numi) for helping out this week!

Points Criteria Please see the Rules thread. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Discussion posts ARE counted this week ----------------------------------------------------------------- Week 2 Anime Points: Total Weekly Points Rankings: Total Overall Points Rankings: Highest Unique Team Score: Ace users: Team Rankings: Errors: |

| That paper-thin difference between Keijo and Drifters. I couldn't risk acing Keijo because Drifters was leading by about 200 by my calculations just hours before the deadline. I couldn't keep watch all the time because the deadline is late at night at my time. Not that it matters since this is my worst FAL performance ever. I didn't prepare at all so it's expected. I just hope I can ace Keijo later on. |
 |
| My rank has gone up by +83, I feel so happy. And I got to ace Yuri before it got overtaken by another anime (there was quiet a difference between it and Drifters, though). Thanks Numi for your great help this week! |
| sure is nice when the top 5 anime of the week are all in your active team :v |

| wait... my Drifters ace didn't work? or did I just overlooked it? |
 |
| I expected my rank to drop drastically. It was inevitable, but it sure feels painful looking at how my rank dropped like that. ^^" Might have to do a bench swap very soon. I only have one good entry in my bench anyway. The other one is useless... >_>; |
| Neat top 100, but for how long? Not having Yaoi on Ice hurts my team. |

You can't send another ace until the anime with the highest points becomes ineligible to be an ace. So by the time Shuumatsu reaches 50k watching, you can ace the next anime with the highest points after Shuumatsu. |
Samii said: You can't send another ace until the anime with the highest points becomes ineligible to be an ace. So by the time Shuumatsu reaches 50k watching, you can ace the next anime with the highest points after Shuumatsu. Is that how that rule works? I can't believe misunderstood it again. I really thought that next ace should be the highest that haven't been declared as ace. I didn't know that they should reach 50k first. |
|
| Damn, don't think I've ever seen that many failed Aces before. Yuri on Ice is making this rather strange. |
✧ |
| Oh my, +42 all the way to the 19th place, it's a shame I placed both Yuri on Ice and Keijo on my bench. |
| Still pretty low in the list... So can't be happy just for the +27 rise... >_< At least I got my Ace right! |
 |
| @raviel_ken you are not the only one, I made the same mistake last FAL (and it was not even my first FAL) xD |
|
| I could be in the first place bath if I had Yuri on Ice in the first week instead of Hibike. rip :c |

I didn't know that they should reach 50k first. Even I made the same mistake last year during FAL Fall 2015. It's such a shame because I had the best team last year where I started at #2 on week 1 but I kept messing up my Ace on 2 consecutive weeks because of the same misunderstanding.. :c |
| Good this is my best team for now. O;N will do bad next week followed by Keijo on the dropped week. I can still go back from week 5 onward. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Leaped 80 places... not bad. I hope my swapped team work out this week. |
 |
| This is the second time I'm on the first place. Why am I so good at this? |
| OMG -40 It's the beginning of the end for me. |
 |
| Meh I lost a lot of ranks this week.... Going to hopefully make the right ace next time. Sigh, there goes my chance at even top 50 this season. |
 |
| Wow +102, I'm 128 now, awesome =.= but sooner or later having Hibike in my team will screw me, and hell my bench are All Out and O;N .... ... -_- haaaa~ |
 |
| How does my ace fail when: Keijo!!!!!!!! - 42550 Drifters - 42506 Points say here my ace had more? Lolwut. |
 |
| I can't believe I still went up 5 ranks to 18th place even though I forgot to swap in Yuri on Ice and send in an ace. Cool. |
| Well I made the right swap choice but all the minmaxing in the world won't save my crappy team/bench, unfortunately. Likely a slow downhill slide from here on out. |
| O.O I'm first just like that ? What the hell It was really easy to obtain it this time |
  |
| Climbed 47 places yet still I sit here kicking myself I really hope Izetta crash and burns |

| I probably regret this post by now. |

I really thought that next ace should be the highest that haven't been declared as ace. I didn't know that they should reach 50k first. That is how it works. The rule about 50k watching+completed count making a show ineligible to be aced was something we put in place due to a constant tendency for one show to dominate every week for the majority of the season, leaving many players unable to successfully use an ace on more than 1-3 shows on their team. Once the same show was always the top scoring on your team, it meant you couldn't do any more aces if you wanted them to succeed. It's to help make aces be more useful than just early on, especially since the top few shows' watching counts can easily surpass 50k in only a few weeks. So while it is a little confusing, I believe that in the end it keeps aces more useful during the FAL season. |

WhatsAName said: How do you declare an Ace? I was wondering about that too. Check the FAQ Thread there it said "Format for sending aces and wildcards? There is no special format needed. Example format: Ace: title of the anime" Just send the FALbot a private message with that. So, +148. Guess it really has a big impact to switch a mediocre scoring anime for a heavy hitter. |
I have written my own Ecchi short story. It is called Nopan Mahou Shoujo! You can find the PDF here or read it online on Wattpad or on Archive of Our Own. |
| Yuri on Ice is getting more points than I expected. |

So while it is a little confusing, I believe that in the end it keeps aces more useful during the FAL season. It was useful to grab the unique team bonus in the later weeks and there were mind games on if and when someone would use his ace and his booster but I acknowledge that most people didn't even tried to get the bonus so they were bored and inactive after using alll their aces early on. You have to please the majority. D: |
|
| Well, it looks like for now I'm only gaining more points. Although if Occultic;Nine keeps doing as well as now, maybe next time I should swap that one on my Team instead of Trickster... |
| +125 😲 What a leap, @chiyo-german. #88: My best ranking yet. Hopefully I will manage to stay somewhere around here for the remainder of the season. (Or at least <100 so that I can surpass my spot from last season.) Still wishing that I had put Yuri on Ice on my team (It's haunting me much like re:zero did last time around!), but I also wasn't expecting Mahou Shoujo to do so well... |
 |
| I've dropped 2 ranks down ='( .... I shouldn't choose Drifters as an ace |
To desire some results, one must take actions  |
