Thanks guys for the congrats and for the birthday wishes.
What was really cool, is how I leveled up. I was able to get in and drop two bombs on two hangers which push me into Moraf, but those two bombs also gave me 1,000 hanger kills! Then when I finished the game, I dropped into the top 300!!! Great birthday present, three goals in one!
Leveling up and getting Moraf on my birthday has been a long planned out process. When I reached level 30 around the beginning of June, I started to plan how to level up to Moraf on my birthday. I created a spreadsheet that I checked all the time to know how many points I needed each day, and I tracked it for each game I played. Some days I was in a long game, and hated to leave, but really didn't want to go too far over my daily quota, so I left the game, and couldn't play for the rest of the day. If I did go over, or couldn't play on a given day, then I had to adjust my daily quota.
Now I don't have to worry about quotas, so I can play all I want!
