    Except that it's not, which you admitted to yourself elsewhere in this forum.

    Back in 2011 I had a 10-day tour around Europe on motorbike.  I had my laptop with me.  We stayed at cheap hotels with poor internet, but I was able to get on and play at least one hole.  One night we stayed at a hotel where there wasn't even an internet connection, but I knew this and had prepared for it by playing in the morning before leaving the previous hotel, missing out the next hotel, then playing when arriving at the following hotel in the evening.

    That ^^^ is endeavouring to play every day without losing a day; getting WGT to add a day (or 10) for you because you missed some days for whatever reason is NOT playing consecutive days!

    Sorry for your loss.

    WGT is responsive to members who have power outages, help people in need, etc...

    I find it a nice thing for them to do.

    Even you could have benefited.

    Close to 500,000 Champions .

    Over 120,000 players at level 200 .

    Our comrade pdb1 (Paul) posted them in one of his messages. I too had to know where they came from.

    I believe he and I were discussing using calculators and spreadsheets in WGT.

    Wow... never knew there were so many Tour Champs and L200 players!!

    And congratulations, Shankette, for hitting 5,000 CDP! What an amazing achievement! I know she's not only the #1 CDP holder but also an excellent player who is extremely hard to beat, as I've encountered her on several occasions in coin rooms.

    Shankette is also a very nice person.  We have played a few alt games together..:)

    So in other words, your stats have about a 50% chance of being accurate, since about 50% of the stuff that came out of that guy's mouth was pure gibberish. 😉

    I do kind of understand Mio's feelings on how WGT can be somewhat lenient on giving free passes when people could easily make arrangements to get a single shot in in this day and age, (smart phone over cellular connection when power/WiFi is down).  But then again, since the mobile app only came out around 2016 and these streaks started in the early 2010s, there was still about 6 years where someone NEEDED to be online on a PC so I understand their stance.  Also, more recently some folks have lost streaks through no fault of their own after WGT made an **Update** that rendered the game unplayable for some for some time.  I don't think it's unreasonable for WGT to restore those people's streaks since they made every effort but couldn't even log in.  Not to put words into Mio's mouth, but he seems to be suggesting following the "letter of the law" instead of the "spirit" of it.

    Anyways, congrats to Shankette (and all the others with 4k + day streaks) for the dedication and effort to keep pushing forward.  I started in 2012 but took about 11 years off shortly after starting.  Crazy to think that even if I'd have continued to play at least 1 shot per day during those 11 years I'd still be short of her/them.
