It works for whatever the top unlocked position is. This works no matter who added FP, and no matter how much they added (unless of course they added enough to lock the position themselves). That makes 1st lockable at 1.9 (and 2nd will be lockable as well), and neither of your neighbors can do anything about it. So to make 1st lockable, I need to add enough FP to make the total equal to 631-152-152+9 = 336. Let's say neighbor #1 added 9 FP, and neighbor #2 added 4 FP.įirst, 80*1.9=152, no rounding needed. So take the example of a CoA, level 11->12.

Then I calculate total-1.9reward-1.9reward+spot. First I multiply the FP reward by 1.9, rounding up. The numbers needed are the total FP for the level, the FP reward for the top unlocked spot, and the FP added by whoever (if anyone) is in that spot. The goal is to figure out what the total number of FP added needs to be, so that the top unlocked spot is lockable at 1.9. I do it in my head, or using a calculator (phone or computer or an old-fashioned hand-held). There are many more scenarios to this one, like what if the 1st and 2nd placer are diligent enough to claim the spots immediately so your self-investment would only be directed to your 2nd placer but I'd leave the computations to you It just so happened that the total FP to secure the GB coincides with the 1.9'd amount BUT if the total FP is like, 2100/4040 FP, the investor would have to self-invest by 40 again so the 2nd placer has a peace of mind.

Both the GB and the first placer cannot be sniped this way. If you're referring to a high leveled GB in which 1.9'ing the GB would still make the first place snipable, then that's where self-investment (or swaps or other monky business) come inįor example, this is the GB you have postedĪs the GB owner, you are obligated to self-invest 200 FP to make the first place locked since Total amount 200/4000 = 3800 difference/2 = 1900 FP to '''snipe''' the GB which happens to be a 1.9'd first place.
