Just bothered to look and while yes Sheamus is a pro, other than Darren Young who I don't think deserves an Ultimate card he is my weakest single male.

My current plan is to save 10k Battle points to buy WM33 tier cards using them, my hope is that those and any Ultimate pro's I get will be enough to push me into WM33 tier even with my 2 Elite pro Females.

rewards were Ult Ambrose, Elite Owens and Wyatt.

Ult Sheamus is my first pro, even if we plan to just get the Ultimate we should drop down to give people the pulls towards their next tier pull, the elite if we reach it would also make good fusion food for me.

With RD about to start and another set of Battleground rewards inbound, I sure am glad that I have finished training my other cards except the Elite pro Charlotte who is in KotR to do her bouts.

Got a SS fusion in the chamber and have been keeping as many higher level cards as possible to be able to do the higher tier ones straight away.

I think we should just all try and contribute during the attack phase and charge our cards whenever we have the chance and then we can coordinate for big pushes. Attack phase only takes a few minutes since it's just 15 wild games and I feel like a lot of teams aren't going to have people fully charged to often. 

I agree, although since my deck sucks this time out I'm going to hold off on attacks until some decks have be revealed and I'm sure I can pick up points.

Vipers, I just started a second battleground for our team and we've got about 24 hours from this post to prep. 

And I got a GARBAGE draw. Hardened Cena, Elite Swagger, 2 Elite Xavier Woods, Elite Nikki Bella and Mania 33 Becky Lynch. Really? My two strongest had to both be divas in matches I'll surely never get?

In our one the other day I had 2 WM33 females as my strongest and did well enough, they seem to have upped the chances of female bouts.

I'm happy with whatever option seeing as I play most days for several hours while watching tv shows and movies, though with the solo event one we can be more flexible regarding start day if we know someone won't be able to play one a specific day.

yeah, if it didn't have the claim phase and instead let you collect it anytime it would be better and save time on the whole thing.

When's the next Hitmen Battleground scheduled for? Im trying to save up picks to maximise my charge pulls but I'm nearly at the 50 limit...

 We are probably going to wait for Monday when the TRD starts, seeing as more people would be active to charge their cards, if we started one now we'd lose the first few hours of the event to the claim phase of it, though if @Blehschmidt is online he could make a decision

I got singles of Ultimate Darren Young (Unlikely to be great ever) and Elite Ember Moon (Wish I'd played in RD now to get her. Elite Charlotte though makes a decent enough pro that will boost my RTG deck.

So Monday afternoon, Thursday morning, and Saturday whenever one can be started after the other one ends.

Two other bits of business that will need adressed.....

1) Promoting more generals to start these things. I don't want sole responsibility of doing it, and Scotty's work is crazy. So how many to promote and who?

2) Participation. If we are doing this 3 times a week, I don't think we can expect people to be all in all the time. How do we decide if someone is not pulling their weight now.

We only need you, Scotty and maybe 1-2 other reliable trustworthy people, who you know grind most events and put in the effort to help improve the team as a whole.

In terms of participation I would judge on the Team Event participation, Battleground should be a side activity that during solo and team events we put more effort into seeing as you would expect us to be grinding during those times anyway.

So the plan is to start one on Monday right around the time the team event begins, that makes sense.

Do we start a second one on Thursday, or do we wait until Friday, so that it runs into Saturday when people might have more time to play?

Either option works for me, personally I think we should have one on the go most of the time even if we can't put complete effort in as the battle points are what I am after regardless of amount each time.

If their team somehow managed to beat us we'd get the 10k reward but with their deck that isn't happening.

Kinda feels like best time would be at events when we'll be playing anyway so charging decks should be easier

This makes a lot of sense, though maybe avoid doing it during team events as we don't want to get distracted.

Not nessecarily, looking at their team their decks weren't as good as ours.

I will be facing dudewhatisup698 as my first opponent to reveal his deck since he whispered me 'you suck'. I want to be able to rub it in his face

@King Jaffellis Joffer how many matches do you get in total? There isn't much information anywhere so any help would be useful.

Just reread the how to play thing and we all have a limited amount of attacks so I think we should look at this tactically, I think we should only attack those with over 100 points personally but if some of our team haven't boosted as much it might be better to drop below.

My entire deck will be fully boosted before the end of the prep phase so I'm hoping for good results myself, for the bouts you win I think you get points equal to the right of their name so personally will be targeting the big point totals while keeping track of who I beat easily to earn as many points as possible, will make sure to keep you up to date with who isn't boosted as much and can provide wins easily.

Not had a tier pull for a while excluding from events, am going to be saving as many Battle Points from the new mode to get a WM33 Pair rather than going for a single, might take a long time but it'll be worth the grind.

After we get this first one done and see how it works, we will need to have a team wide discussion about how we want to go about doing these.

I agree we should try to find a couple of days that everyone can contribute to making sure we do really well, I understand people have school and work so we shouldn't put too much pressure on people.

I'm glad of that, am aiming to boost every star at least halfway, though I stupidly powered up one way more already without thinking early on in the prep stage.

Only way to understand it is to play it I guess. 

that's my thinking

I'm finally back from holiday, do the hitmen want to give the new mode a go?

Just arrived at the hotel for my holiday, telling my fiancé what card to play in wild mode while driving so that I could get some more bouts on Elite pro Natalya and Ultimate Reigns, still need to level up Reigns to put him in my RTG deck. No cards that are any use to me this event so might not play the game except to get energy for my current KotR, though that's almost over thankfully.

Typical that an event running while I am away and mostly unable to play should feature a female that would be a huge boost to my deck, good luck to you all with the event and as I said the other day will play as much as possible in the team event but with being away might not do as much as normal.

Probably going to be working on getting all my cards levelled up and all the bouts played for a week, got Ultimate Roman Reigns and Xavier Woods, Elite pro Randy Orton and Natalya and Elite Becky Lynch and not one is fully levelled yet, the bouts aren't that bad in terms of playing the game but the grind to get the levels up is the struggle. Been utilizing Royal Rumble whenever I have a bout but mostly playing Wild mode.

Edit: Scraped into Ultimate + tier thanks to focusing on levelling up Natalya, now all I need is some Ultimate pro's to improve my ranked deck so that I can get into WM33 tier.
