If you are already familiar with the situation, I'd ask that you not share the outcomes yet, but if you want to post an answer to the question as if you are reading this for the first time that would be good.

This question is based on 2 rules:
http://wiki.goallineblitz.com/index.php/Leveling
and
http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=4686077

After reading and understand (or going back to after reading the question), I ask that you answer honestly to help out new people in the game and maybe even some experienced ones.

You have a dot that is hitting plateau in the current season (ie hitting day 281) that starts the season at level 70.

You have your normal 3 boosts available that you hold off on using right away.

Day 280 comes and you think about boosting, then decide you want to just wait and have those 3 boosts and the 6 automatic plateau boosts to use together.

So you wait until day 281 and go to boost.

How many boosts would you expect to have? 3 or 6 or 9?

Thanks, and yes, I know forums get silly, I just hope we can get honest answers.

Based on my knowledge of the game I know the answer (I think).

Now I will read the links and answer:

http://wiki.goallineblitz.com/index.php/Leveling: Difficult/impossible to decipher.
http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=4686077: Again, difficult to decipher.

I would suggest changing the wiki based on this announcement http://goallineblitz.com/game/announcement.pl?id=597

you have a max of 6 boosts in plateau to hit 79. to hit 79 the dot needs to be at least level 73 on day 281

This. It is my understanding that you would have had to use the 3 boosts before hitting plateau. Then you would get the 6 plateau boosts to get to 79.

Seems straight forward enough to me

Before reading this post, I probably would have thought 9, since I would have thought you would not lose the season boosts unless the season rolled over. Prior to the Accelerated Player Development change, if you hit plateau during the season, you did not lose that's season's boosts, you just stopped getting XP.

However, I can see how the post says 6 boosts in plateau, and that not boosting prior to day 281 might cost you those 3 boosts, so I would say either 6 or 9. I'm not sure which.

it sucks and it has happened to me in the past and support told me tough luck

I have no doubt that you are right. Just thought I had run into a situation where I did not. In that case, the answer is clearly 6.

Lets say you are correct, do you think GLB would benefit from making the correct answer more clear?

When do the dots hit 281 days, day 41? Or Day 1 next season?

If built Day 40-48, they hit plateau day 1 of the season.

yea i dont like it the rule, and i have lost out on boosts because of it, but back in the day i remember needing to boost before a certain day or i would lose my boost. You have a 1 day window if you choose to do it that way. thats why i just boost early so i dont fuck up
