Here is my weekly status and giveaway. It's been a horrible week for me and I can't even get away from work during the weekend. So I fully expect this week and next week's numbers to be quite horrible. Things should be less busy next week and I should be able to do better then.
Giveaway
It will be an instrument this week.
The giveaway item is an R174 RSX Amp and it is an instrument under the Production music lessons. With 50 more luck, you have a chance of getting more drunk fans and it benefits you if you run Production lessons. Even if you don't run Production lessons, it can help you in the rankings or you can trade it away to someone who wants it for something you need.

Results of Last Giveaway
Thank you to the rest of the valid participants that did not win but might be interested in the next giveaway: 
Current Status
My earnings this week has dropped a lot. In the end, it's only 190k starbits this week and the millionaire mission requirements will be changing. It won't affect me because my fans are much higher than the amount needed and I am always re-investing my starbits for more cards each week. These fans will help you earn more starbits so I don't see it as that bad of a detriment. Unfortunately, nothing special from my pack openings again this week.
Current Stats
Using the discord bot, I got my stats and an estimated collection value. I also saw a nice little bot to see my current collection value in Rising Star.
Current Ranking
My rank has stayed the same but I am a bit surprised to see it happen. I am guessing the unique cards from the new month gave me a boost but I expect my rank to drop further if I don't step up my game.

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.
