i ended up 2nd, but it was very close (101 points ahead of the 3rd, he/she must hate me right now) and required a lot of last minute strategic speed hatching (i activated the 2x boost for the last 2 ish hours of the event in case this had to happen).

at 1,500 i was 1st when there were 4 hours for the event to end, i check 2 hours later and im THIRD, and one account is 200 ish points ahead of me (which is ok) and one is 2,000+ and they ended at 2,400+! WHAT SORCERY!

so this is all i planned for when my 2x boost was active (the last 1.9 hours of the event), to avoid any unexpected changes in position (i wanted 2nd obviously) last minute :

-had a magic lamp egg ready to hatch with one hour to go

-had a drama egg to hatch with 1 hour to go

-had a 6 hour quest ready with one hour to go

-did a 1 hour quest in that time as well

-had a 14 hour breeding ready

-1 spin left

but like i anticipated before, last 5 minutes were traumatic

my competitor was at 1795 points by the time i got to 1,900+ points by utilizing the above things (spin was useless), and then at 3-4 minutes to go, competitor beat me to the 2nd place and we continued shifting but i ended up 2nd LUCKILY

i put a four-leaf dragon and a torchlight dragon (from storage) on my nests, and each gave me 50 & 80 crowns respectively for 15 gold speed hatching. Should've saved camelot or some such super rare with low incubation times in hindsight, i ended at 2074 crowns.

*sigh* anyways i'm so done, these are way more stressful than a game should be, must've spent 60-70 gold in total on this!

and normally i wouldn't have competed for this this badly, but i had sort of come to expect i'd get atleast one dragon out of this >_<

NOW let me go re check and see if im still 2nd or if i suddenly turned 3rd (refer to Chrysara's comment)
