GRECO!5 PLAYOFFS 1: 5/29 to 6/2

[Wayoshi]

This playing will presumably cover 0261-65L in production order, but there are no guarantees.

There are no spoiled games.

The PATTERN was drawn randomly in Discord with my bot, with the result public to see for everyone. The DIAMOND (four non-diagonal squares next to the center) will be the PATTERN for this playing.

Only the following players may play in the GRECO playoffs, having earned at least 300 points in the regular season. They will start with the following number of bonus points:

Wayoshi: 20
22FJB: 20
Kev347: 20
Flerbert419: 16
OneBidTris: 16
tpir04: 15
dprice: 11
thepriceis_J: 10
gamesurf: 9
Pikachu732001: 3
Hag: 2

Good luck! Remember the super spot now goes away for the playoffs, and this is a cumulative three-week total.

A non-car Balance back to back weeks? Big sigh there. But the rest of this lineup was quite due (perhaps minus Grand), more funky slotting aside.

[Wayoshi]

Good bit to talk about here.

-I thought for sure Move & 241 was an either-or proposition. But Kev gave me a compelling argument they have a set rotation for these unlike the 4 prizers lately, and with a spoiler next week, Kev indeed cashes in with both.
-Temptation is really overdue, but am I surprised Gas showed up on 3 weeks instead? ... No, not really.
-The regular GP rotation is tough right now, any or all of Pair, H-L and C-O could show. Step 1 today with H-L.

Move did give Tris a key FIRST bonus.

[Wayoshi]

Step 2 of the regular GP puzzle with C-O today... and I only picked Pair. Sigh.

The common cars were kinda trolly today. Maybe TTM won't take a break the rest of the year? Card is more due than Cover technically, but hey when you have World Milk Day (again, wtf at that) ...

It's really close at the top right now, exciting!

[Wayoshi]

What was a mess in the FPG semifinals (all three GPs I mentioned earlier in the week ended up being played and no GP/cars... it is pretty ridiculous) turned into sealing the highest scoring week of the season, I am pretty sure I can say. We knew Plinko would finally get played today, but getting in Danger, Temptation, Pair and L7 was a boon to so many cards, even with a couple big notable skips in the end.

As week 1 wraps up out of 3, Kev & I remain tied at the top with 62 scores apiece this week. dprice technically wins this week with 68(!), but that distinction is meaningless in the playoffs, besides closing most of the gap on Kev & I. This is a very close game still and I can't wait to see where it goes.
