Hello Rising Star Gamers

First of all, I would like to say this:

I hope you all have the wonderful Christmas night... and for you guys who don't celebrate Christmas, I wish you all a happy end of year holidays. God Bless us all.

Lyrics

Did you really love me?
Did you really need me?
Or were you just using me?
Or were you just using me?

I've had enough of your kiss
The touch of your hand, I won't miss
I've been wrapped up in all your crazy ways
I'm caught up in your web of lies
Gonna cut myself loose and say goodbye

Bye. Bye. I don't want you. I don't need you. I don't want you

I never felt so used, I won't go back to you. So leave me alone
I wasn't good enough, it was never about us. So leave me alone. Alone. Alone. So leave me alone
Hey, Hey, Baby, Hey, Hey. Leave me. Leave me. Oh yeah

Did you really love me?
Or were you just using me?

Oooooooooooooooooooooohohohohoh.... Ohhhhhhhhhhooohhooh.. Oahhhhhahhh..
I never felt so used, I won't go back to you. So leave me alone
I wasn't good enough, it was never about us. So leave me alone. Alone. Alone. So leave me alone
Alone (Alone). Come on (Come on). So leave me alone. Alone

THE LAST BIG HIT

Rise was Safri Duo last big hit single, both All The People In The World and Rise were Safri Duo best singles who featured the vocals of Clark Anderson. The best one was still Played A Live, based on sales volume and chart performance. We can say that the songs without vocal was still their forte.

However RISE was not their last single. They made several singles later after 2008, but I could not recall any get into top chart. for example this TWILIGHT:

Which I don't think it is bad either. Maybe they released it with wrong timing, which the trend made only small portion of market which could accept that kind of songs.

Safri Duo has retired and they did not perform anymore, however I think that has a good side too because I really think today market won't suitable for the genre they have been performing before.

MY DATA BANK

I will make this short. I recorded all my packs openings here so everyone can get the data and make their own calculation whether they choose to open packs or buy cards directly.

past monthly packs opening:

2023* (338 packs)	95.77	79.05	28.66	2.04

I am not opening anymore packs during the days I am having Giveaways, this is a pattern I do regularly in order to have my growth maxed. I do not want to be like some players who keep doing Giveaway but their size aren't growing well, maybe stagnant is more appropriate vocab to describe them. Let say I just want to give a good example to others
