Here is my weekly status and giveaway. I also talk about an OST track that I like. Please make sure to read the rules to qualify for the giveaway. I chose a track from a game that I played in the past.
Corridors of Time
I chose Corridors of Time as my track of the week. This track is from one of the best JRPGS that I have ever played called Chrono Trigger. Chrono Trigger stands the test of time and it's a game I have fond memories of as one of the games I played on the SNES and I replayed it again when it was released on the DS. This track was memorable to me because it was a beautiful track that fit the area. You were moving around on the map and when you got to the floating islands. It's full of mystery and I was in the mood to explore everything there. I prefer the remastered version (the one that I put on top) over the original version, but both are great tracks.
The thing that I think is Zeal. I mentioned it before, but it is a bunch of floating islands. It was weird to see the entire kingdom kind of become your enemy though because they wanted to harness the power of something they couldn't control. It was a key part of the story and I just liked the entire theme of the area. It was futuristic and there were a few twists and turns as well. The image was from the wiki page for Zeal.
Do you like any of these tracks? If so, why?

Current Status
I gained 55k STARBITS over the past week and if you add in the millionaire mission, I got around 125k. I didn't get any epic or legendary cards this week.
Current Ranking
My rank went down slightly. I was doing so great at the start of the week, but I ended up slacking off towards the later part of the week. I need to make sure that I put on those longer missions when I am not around.

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 won't 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.
