RE: Discovering the Rising Star Cards

Sometimes when you do your missions, you find a discarded pizza. If you have a Pizza Box, it will go in there so that you can use it when you want to (by clicking the "+" next to your energy meter). If you don't have a Pizza Box (or it already has pizza in it), it is automatically applied to your energy. Likewise, if you have a Cold Pizza Slice, you can use it (by hitting the "+" just like the Pizza Box) once every 24 hours. In either case, your energy is recharged to 100% and you can continue attempting your missions.
Personally, I have two Pizza Boxes. I use one of them first so I can "catch" discarded pizza when I get them. If I already have an empty Pizza Box, then I use my Cold Pizza Slice (which then starts counting down 24 hours until it can be used again). This leave me with one more full Pizza Box if I use that much pizza on one day (which seldom happens). There are occassionally times I run out of energy, but not very often and then I will have at least my normal overnight recharge and one Cold Pizza Slice to use the next day (until I find another discarded pizza).
NOTE: If you got a 1st Birthday Cake card, you can use it like a Cold Pizza Slice once every 12 hours.
Let me know if you need an explanation of EGO.
Thanks a lot for the explanation regarding Pizza. I think it's a very sound strategy to have two boxes and one cold Pizza slice to replenish your energy.
What I didn't understand about the ego is what kind of negative effect it has on your earnings?

It is in diametric opposition to your STARBITS earnings. The higher your EGO, the less STARBITS you earn from your missions. So, you want to keep your EGO as close to zero as possible so that you do not reduce your earnings any more than you have to.

Thanks a lot for the info. I will definitely need to make it come down a lot :-)
Aside from buying a lot of cards with skill, the best way to bring down your EGO is to complete Music Lessons missions. To start with, you will only be able to complete a couple due to your level. The amount of skill reward you are able to earn is increased by owning cards related to that mission (for example, owning various microphones will increase your skill reward for the Basic Singing Lesson mission). You will not earn any STARBITS for these missions, but in addition to increasing your skill, you will still earn XP, so you will continue to increase your level. I try to alternate between Music Lessons missions and Zone missions (or Special Missions) so that as I get more cards with fans (especially vehicles), I can maintain a good handle on my EGO. I am working toward increasing my skill to the point that when I do add more fans, my EGO does not increase at all.
Thanks a lot man. This makes a lot of sense. I started to do the missions but I kind of got nowhere because I have no instruments...
You don't really need instruments to do the beginning missions. You just don't progress very quickly. You will, however, need more fans (which you can generally get faster by procuring vehicles). Just keep redoing the same mission until you reach the level/fan requirement for the next higher mission. If you don't have enough fans, do more missions with the high STARBITS rewards in order to buy the cards you need to progress to the next higher mission (and remember that the more fans your have, the more STARBITS your earn for each mission). There will be other requirements as you progress, but they are not that hard to meet until you have to build your band.
