I’d mapped out a solid strategy to finish my boxes, but the system kept rolling numbers I didn’t need. In the end, I lost two points and finished as the runner-up. I could’ve claimed the championship if I’d eliminated my opponent right then. I hold no hard feelings toward anyone, but I just don’t want to play this luck-based game anymore

I have learned it is not in my best interest to be 'sporting' or ' a good sport' here.. Ive had so many things as you say happen not just in SLMB.. (which I love except it loves my opponents better - Like you.. it gives me numbers I dont need...always in the last round.. and can someone explain to me what the heck is the x20 or x4 at the end of the game for??? There is no mention in the tutorials of it... and I lose often bc of it even tho I have more boxes, bolts and moons??? ~ wassat about???
I don't want to play it anymore either.. iand didnt for ages.. but started againn to find the same... pfft ... ts very frustrating and kills the fun of the game...Luck has nothing to do with biased algorythyms imo lol

For example ; On my last move, night before last, I had 3 days left in a BG tourney game. The following morning I logged in to see I had 48 hours left. I made my move and returned 2 hours later to find I was -4. hours!!!

I returned less than an hour later when I received a participation trophy. I 'The turns of this player.... was out of time.. blah etc' I was out of the tourney.

Go back some hours - My opponent stubbornly and annoyingly kept offering a concede.. I did not accept it as I wanted the extra points. Most of his pieces were still in their home ..

He insisted, asking me 6 times. Finally I had to say something and they made their move. I said thanks. Then they did it again.
Next time I logged on, well you can read above..As you are the seemingly learned master here, any connection do you think?
