Yea, Morgana, you are correct about my being able to move to MP5. The first day of the contest while collecting heads, I passed the xp requirement to move to MP5. I was then faced with a choice... Continue the contest (that I was already leading at the time) in MP4, or move up to MP5 and try my luck there. It wasn't a difficult choice. Would you have done any differently?
Also, there are several others who have BETTER creatures than I do. Braiton for example. Feel free to whine about being weaker all you want, but it's not all about the creatures. It's about strategy, activity, creativity, and timing. There are more than a few MP4s that are faring quite well in the contest with simple creatures.
Good Luck.
