When I was organizing Alpha data today, I thought I must have made a mistake. Even though I’ve been sick recently and haven’t been updating Alpha data daily, there hasn’t been a single priority claim project since August 15. Everything has been first-come, first-served, and now there are only three working days left in the month. There’s usually no priority claim on weekends, so if there’s none in the next three days, I’m guessing my earnings this month will turn negative. I was worried I made an error in my stats, so I double-checked everything, but still found nothing. Looks like I didn’t mess up the stats—without priority claims, my 300 points feel pretty useless. Can’t win the rush, maintaining points costs money, and all the earnings from the first half of the month have gone to fees. This is too tough.
