2M points and eyeing the top 4

Tonight was a great session as we almost met our optimal goal by gaining close to 2M points. We are still in 7th place but only 1.2M points away from 4th. That is likely to happen in two sessions as the next one is a DLC night.

Highlights:
- We wanted to improve on Maps right away to remove it as worst ranked song (#26). Phoenix proposed doing a "practice run" to warm up, but it turned out that the "practice run" got us more than 1M points and landed us in 11th place for that song!
- There are now only 8 songs out of 58 where we are not in the top 11 (first page on PS3 leaderboards)
- We improved our score for "Train Kept A-Rollin'"... by a whopping 59 points!
- We are the highest ranked band not to have a #1 score. There are three songs tonight where we had an almost optimal path ("Here It Goes Again", "Detroit Rock City" and "Black Hole Sun") and slightly better play would have allowed us to get one
- We seem to have found a great way to communicate when to activate Overdrive, flowing from the singer (optionally to a groupie) to the drummer and eventually to the guitarist and bassist. We'll leave the details for another post

342K away from re-re-re-claiming our #6th place too :)

If we finally get our #1s for the songs you mentionned that guarantees us that spot again :)

I'd also like to say I sympathise with Dman if he ever has to sing the Pixies!!! I sang them all on Expert, with Bongoo on drums, and my favorite groopie on guitar. Although we regained the lost fans for the night. I lost a bit of my sanity.

Hehe, If you're really looking for a challenge though I dare you to try "I Get By" by Honest Bob.

There's a couple of verses in there that are just crazy-go-nuts!
