I've been doing this season's regatta, and have not been able to get promotion, even with all 150s (and waiting for 150s and saving ALL my unlimited energy is a job I should be getting paid for), because all other winners paid for the extra and it was also 150. I'm currently stuck at silver. 2 times this has happened. And the one I did keep top 3, I also had to pay for an extra; and even then I was 3rd to the other 2 perfect scores. So I need a perfect 150 score, AND I need to buy the extra, to earn promotion now? And, of course, they get all their points in the 3 hours while I'm asleep since i am at first when I go to bed. Annoyed. I mean, imagine, wanting to do a task that IS NOT THE MINIGAME, and you can get 150 for the task. Second thought, nevermind. I'd probably have to feed my animals nonstop for 2 days just to get those 150.
P.s. really loving my town and progress right now; not enjoying this experience of needing all 150s and the extra to get top 3. And I wonder how the game behaves if 4 people get perfect scores; only the first 3 make it? And why is it so easy for other players to get that many 150 tasks? I have to dump a lot, and wait amd wait and wait.
