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 that I like.
Flash Frost
I chose Flash Frost track because it is honestly one of the best video game music tracks that I have listened to. It was the track that made me play Atelier for the first time, and Hayato Asano did an amazing track on the arranged version. I listen to the arranged version way more when compared to the original, but I think both of them are great. The original game of this game came out over a decade ago, but I love how this track still lives up to what I expected it to be. This track plays when you fight Ozean Kaiser in Atelier Totori. The original version sounds cleaner, but I like how the arranged version sounds more powerful.
I think about Ozean Kaiser when I think of this track. It is one of the hardest bosses in the game, and I died the first time I fought it. In the end, I decided to just use the elixir strategy to cheese the boss. It just does too much damage whenever it comes to its turn, so a normal strategy doesn't work that well. The image comes from a page that I found for someone's Let's Play against Ozean Kaiser because I couldn't find many good images of it.
Do you like any of these tracks? If so, why?

Current Status
I didn't miss any millionaire missions, but things were hectic this week. I didn't do too many missions so I don't think I'll add up the starbits as I think I earned less than 100k this week. I did get one copy of the seasonal musician this week.
Current Ranking
My rank is up a few ranks from last week. I did play less than last week but I think some people were inactive.

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.
