75% Gold stars and close to the top 10

This was a great week as we played 32 songs with the optimal line-up, getting 24 Gold stars and gaining 23M points. We now have have a total of 1,081M points, just 7M away from 10th place "Mary G0 Round" in the "All Songs" Leaderboards.

Our average points per song is now 977K (up more than 10K). After joining the top 10, our next goal will be to move this average past 1M points. This won't be too difficult as we often gain more than 500K points per song when playing old songs (originally played with less than 4 players and/or not with the optimal line-up).

Another goal will be to have all of our songs ranked below a certain rank. This week all the older songs played were some where we weren't in the top 270. In a few weeks all the songs will be in the top 200, and in a few months every song will be in the top 100 except for some in the "Original 84".

Highlights:
- Stars breakdown for the 32 songs: Gold stars (24), 5 stars (6), 4 stars (2, for "The Hungry Wolf" and "Toxicity")
- Bongoo was the "Top Performer" for the most songs (14), followed by Sylvie (10), Raikan (8), and Phoenix (7)
- Bongoo had the most FCs (7), followed by Sylvie (4), Raikan (3), and Phoenix (1)
- Sylvie's funniest wah-wah bass moments were during "I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts", "El Scorcho", "Maps", "Message in a Bottle" and "The Kill"
- Phoenix manages to hit the PS button in the middle of a song...
- We finally get the point increase on "I.V." that we were looking for, getting Gold on the last vocal phrase (only small point increases until this week). Phoenix did a great job with the fast bass drum hits
- We barely survive "I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts" because of its crazy ending on drums
- Raikan has the hiccups during "Peace of Mind" (even activating overdrive accidentally), but we still manage to gain 400K points... :)
