Here is my weekly status and giveaway. My habit of slacking off happened again this week and I wasn't really able to get myself into timing the missions properly. Either way, the grind continues as I buy 12 packs this week and save the rest for the seasonal musicians. I expect it will be another month until the next seasonal mission comes out so I will have a decent amount of starbits saved up for then.
Giveaway
It will be a musician for a change. I got 2 copies of them from my pack openings so I choose this card for the week.
The giveaway item is an R167 Diana and it has 125 fans, 100 skill, 3 luck, and 2 income modifier. All musicians help quite a bit and it will definitely help the people start unlocking more missions.

Current Status
My earnings this week are 190k starbits. My earnings are a bit down and my time playing is also down this week. So I kind of expected the numbers to drop. It's kind of disappointing that I keep on dropping the ball on maintaining missions running and I guess it might be better to choose higher minute missions. If I do so, I can probably set an alarm on my phone and make sure to use a pizza or cake to refill my energy. I do think that my earnings probably won't be as high but it could help my ranking.
Nothing special came out of my packs but I did buy some seasonal instruments and blended them together for my collection above. I hope that I won't have to buy as many instruments in the next seasonal mission.
Current Stats
Using the discord bot, I got my stats.
Current Ranking
My minutes played went down by 10% and it looks like that difference would of put me over the line to my previous rank. So I guess I need to focus more and it's a little disappointing because I was in the 50s for rank a few months back.

Tips (source)
I think the tips are something every new player should know about. It will help people progress in the game and it hasn't really been shared since surya1adiga stopped his giveaways.
- Take music lessons when possible to raise skill and reduce ego.
- Having lesson specific instruments helps in receiving more skill from that lesson.
- Have pizza box to store any pizza received during mission to reuse later.
- Buy cold pizza slice if possible. This gives 1 refill every 24hours. Comes very handy when you are low on energy.
- If you have enough of cold pizza slice and pizza box, you will never run out of energy.
- If you have more fans than skill and you want reduce the ego , you can use a storage trailer to store unnecessary cards. Or you can list the card in market for an unreasonably high price.
- Ego received for a particular mission increases every time you play it. The ego is reset to base level the next day. So, try to play different missions to control the ego gained.
Keep track of your achievements to unlock in game rewards- Buy storage trailer (only if necessary) to keep the cards that might have a negative effect. Like a card with high fan count resulting in ego.
- When earning skill points through music lessons, you can earn more points per lesson if you hold more of specific instrument cards. There seems to be base skill which is rewarded irrespective of the card count and then the skill increases depending on the number of the lesson specific card one has.
- Try taking up many smaller missions to fill up pizza boxes and have extra energy to play more rewarding missions. But you need to have pizza boxes for this to work.
