I mean its literally critical imo.

Maintaining your original category *and* getting that time boost makes you kind of bullet proof in the early game.

These people getting picked, winning ONE duel and then running back to the floor just make me shake my head.

It's still the most proven strategy for longevity in the game, time boost or no. You can literally win $250k by winning 1 duel -- nm - rollo Oct 21, 09:11 5
- I think the S1 winner was in a total of 3 duels so you don't really need to run the board or anything. - Bayronmax Oct 21, 10:01
- I mean yea, the turtle strategy definitely can get you to the end game, but - Jovian Oct 21, 09:17 3
  - and just look at the guy who just won the time boost, his inherited category is Ancient Egypt. - Jovian Oct 21, 09:19 2
    - heh, I think you just contradicted yourself a tiny bit. Inheriting an obscure category is a dissuader, time boost or no. Thus going back to the board - rollo Oct 21, 09:31 1
      - I definitely did. But I really just wanted to point out how beneficial that boost is worth having. -- nm - Jovian Oct 21, 09:43
