7166137's blog: "Leveling"

After going through a lot either playing hard for top ten hottest, or patience waiting for it to be awarded, there are two achievements that are needed for this level. Both of these can be done early. There are a couple tricks to getting each of these done.

Air Power:

Top ten bombing the previous day. The top bomber for the day gets the distinction of Red Baron, with its own achievement the first time doing so.

This is calculated by points from cherry bombing albums only. If you try this when there is a Cherry Bomb bonus, you will find it harder unless you run several bombs. Hopefully you have run a few so you know how. I won't post the link here, but there is a youtube video by 941Stud from a few years ago that explains a lot, but there have been a few upgrades to the system making the Cherry Inferno (116 Albums) a lot easier. Even a day that starts with a bomb bonus will have a lot of bombers for the early hours, so keep that in mind. Bombing users who have Auto 11's running gets you (and them) double points.

There are days when only a few people bomb. There have been instances where someone level 50 needing Cherry Ignitor (90 albums) earned Air Power because hardly anyone else bombed. I won't say what the minimum number of bombs you need to run to get Air Power are, but when I was working bombing achievements, I ran 14 on a partial bomb bonus day. I got the following achievements done in the process:

• Cherry Bombdigity Run 4 Cherry Bomb's back to back.
• Cherries Gone Wild Run 8 Cherry Bomb's back to back, uninterrupted.
• Cherry Apocalypse Bomb 1000 albums in 12 hours.
• Mega Bomber Bomb 1000 different members in 12 hours.
• Air Power Get into the top 10 cherry bomber spots.
• Red Baron Get the #1 top cherry bomber spot. (I barely got this because one other user was hitting auto 11's with each bomb they ran)

There were no 2X power ups at this point in time. I ran no other power ups in order to get the 8 Cherry Bombs in a row.

At a minum, you should be SF, and point boosted. You can boost yourself 15% for 3 hours, or have somoene else do it for you. Additionally, a 2X Power up will double your Cherry Bomb points.

When there is a bonus for interacting with Newbies, bombing newbie albums will be more than bombing others.

Albums do not require 250 or more photos. All albums not marked NSFW will get the same points.

Night Rider - Get 2500 likes between 12am and 5am PST while running night stars in one day.

This works best when there is a like bonus. It can be done with or without Likenados, don't start them both back to back.

The first hour is generally popular, the second and third hours seem to slow down. The pacific time zone people will like then go to sleep, and the east coast people haven't gotten up yet.

You can start another Night Star at any time, BUT if you have a Rock Star still going from the previous day (yes people have done this) you cannot start a night star until it runs out.

Likenados, once started, must be left to run out. Note they are two hours, while the Night Star is three.

While it states that it must be completed by 5AM PST, the limiting factor is that you canot start a Night Star after 5AM, but you can start one at 4:59, which will run intil 7:59AM (that's pretty much 8AM to 11AM Eastern Time.

Likes for this achievement must be 2500 in the last five hours. I have seen people get this done more than two hours after 5AM because they ran one more Night Star before 5AM. ran a Likenado well after 6AM, and they were able to get friends to spread the word to get people to their page.

My personal experience, there was no Likenado when I got mine, Nov 11, 2014. I ran six Night Stars, each one resetting people's ability to like me. This is by no means the end-all on this achievement. Other people have written blongs, and I invite you to read them. If you know the link to one of them, I'll add it here so we can help each other help each other, or something like that.
