If you can purchase level boosters (experience points), why not make a "bonus day" available for purchase?
I just skipped a day after playing 26 days straight. It was by choice, so I don't mind having to start over, but geez, it doesn't take long to get back to the max pts for consecutive days played.
Now, if the points kept going up after 8 days, then maybe I'd want a way to keep my streak going if I couldn't play one day. But it's only 8 days. Get back to playing and be happy.
