My time this week wasn't that great but I am continuing my grind for starbits. As there wasn't many great deals on the market, I didn't buy as many cards this week and my starbits balance has once again increased. It's also nice to see that the number of participants is also stable so I look forward to the time I earn 250k starbits a week to increase the number of giveaways.
Giveaway
There wasn't many duplicates this time around so I choose a musician this time around and I wanted to try to keep my giveaways using different cards rather than repeating an old card.
The giveaway item is R95 Barney and it has 100 fans, 150 skill, 4 luck and 2 income modifier. As usual, its a great card if you want to unlock more missions and it can also help you in the rankings.

Current Status
My earnings over the past week is around the 190k Starbits range once again. I was thinking the number would of increased this week due to a decent amount of musicians and a vehicle but it didn't. Of course this might of been the result of bad luck as well.
Two of the unique cards that I liked in my pack opening was a epic instrument and the R90 Touring Coach. I especially like the Touring Coach since it's a huge boost in fans and my starbits earning. I haven't been getting many vehicles lately so it was a nice draw. I do have a few rare vehicles I am missing and I am wondering if I should try exchanging in some of my duplicates for my missing cards with the same stats.
I have been checking every once in a while for cheap piano instruments and I have bought 7 more of the RS 101 cards. I can directly see an impact on the number of skill points I earn but I wonder if this is a good idea or not. As of right now, my ego is still at 0 even when I get a few thousand more drunk fans. I might stop buying as many instruments once I increase the minimum skill points from music lesson to 200 but I will continue to add for now.

Current Goals
My time played has dropped this week but I don't really know why. I was expecting it to be closer to 6k minutes but I guess my timing between missions might be a bit off this week.
As my rank is exactly where I was last week despite my time played number decreasing. However it does seem like everyone stepped up their game as everyone around me also moved up around 100 ranking points. However it does seem like 0.1 SWAP.HIVE as daily ranking rewards is more or less consistent right now.

Tips (source)
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 want 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.
