Typerace Season 2 Overview

My second season of Typerace has come to a close, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! It continues to be my favourite part of PFQ and I look forward to it each month. Changing my signature and About Me to represent my new Type is fun for me, and I like to look back at previous months and see how things panned out, then compare them to the current TR. This is getting easier as I'm documenting things much more precisely as time goes on. I have actively participated in all types, and gained my personal goal every time. I even broke some of my records for personal scores, which makes goals for Season 3 a bit more tricky to set. Going to give these goals a try though: - Be Host 8 times (I need to be popular!) - Get wanted specials for my collection (Be prepared with pairs and hunt items) - Beat Highest personal score (Very difficult!) Creating clicklists each month has been a huge task, but now that we are able to use a permalink for users, those pesky name-changes are no longer a hassle. This means future Typeraces can utilise old lists, and just add new users to them as they're found. Some other relevant changes that occurred this Season include: - Boosts to Albino chances of matching TR Type - Rewards for Thread Hosts - Voting for Thread Hosts instead of whomever posts first - Higher score for the Personal Goal - More fragment rewards for Personal Goals - More rewards for Teams in top 3 positions I stuck to my original plans for hunts pretty well (13/18) and I found it very useful to pre-plan so that I wasn't unprepared with pairs or checking which Megas I still needed and so on.
