Here is my weekly status and giveaway. Although it wasn't as bad as before, I find myself lagging behind again in timing my missions. Either way, it's still the time to hard more starbits before the next seasonal mission for those seasonal instruments.
Giveaway
It will be a musician again this week. I got duplicates of this card and a musician is always useful.
The giveaway item is an R184 Pascal and it has 50 fans, 150 skill, 4 luck, and 2 income modifier. All musicians help quite a bit and it will definitely help the people start unlocking more missions. This card has more skill than luck so it should help anyone who has ego issues.

Thank you to the rest of the valid participants that did not win but might be interested in the next giveaway: 
I transferred the R171 Teddy below. I forgot to screenshot the transfer successful after sending it through the game so I grabbed the record from hive-engine afterwards.
Current Status
My earnings this week is almost 230k starbits. At least my starbits earnings from last week haven't dropped and I guess that could be luck. After all, I have slightly fewer minutes played this week. Unfortunately, I did not get any epic or legendary cards this week but I did get some of the new cards released this month. With that, my ranking should recover.
Current Stats
Using the discord bot, I got my stats.
Current Ranking
My rank has gone down and I believe it might be caused by the new cards released this month. I remember seeing a lot of duplicates amongst the cards I got so this should change next week when I am able to open another 12 packs. My time played is only down by a little bit so I don't think it has affected my score too much.

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.
