Clarification needed on Top50 farm deck submission https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=716.msg198#msg198

Some Questions on the mechanics of submitting your deck/score that I feel need to be answered. I couldn't find definitive answers so here are some thoughts:

- What ist the effect of changing your mark between two submissions of your deck/score?

- Assume you're in the Top50 and you submit your deck/highscore. The system saves your score along with the deck, the deck does not get updated as you continue to play. In other words: The deck is submitted once and not continuously, correct?

- Is it possible to submit a rare farm deck then change your deck and face your own previously submitted rare farm deck? How?
  (I've been trying the above and whenever I encountered my own deck it wasn't the rare farm deck I thought I had submitted earlier)

- It is possible to have multiple entries in the Top50 with one account. There have to be certain conditions on how the data from one submission has to be different from the next to generate two different entries. What are these conditions (My guess: different mark = new Entry; Different score, same Mark = Overwrite old entry)?

For some reasons I can't figure out how to correctly submit a rare farm deck and leave this deck in the top50 while I continue to play with another deck, possibly facing my earlier submitted farm deck (to obtain more copies of my own rares). Do I have to change my mark to do that? I'd be thankful for a step-by-step 'HowTo' and/or any comments and thoughts.

The major reason for this post is that I am constantly shifting between being in and out of the weekly Top50 and I want to do it right without having to try a couple of times.

When you play top 50 the database picks whatever deck you was last saved when the game saves.

Though I encountered a bug today-

My first game was against myself, but it was a flying titan deck I've NEVER used....

And by 'save' you mean save as in auto-save (what the game does) not as in 'submit Highscore to the database'. This would mean it's impossible to face one's own rare farming deck with one's other deck since the game 'saves' after every fight and hence overwrites your (perhaps rare-farm-) deck information.

I don't want to split hairs here. It's hard to understand for me and I would like to be specific.

As far as I know there isn't a way to play against your own rare farm deck, unless you are using the rare farm at the time and just hoping not to deck out first.  I think it saves your deck any time that you see the save icon at the top of your screen.  (Auto-save.)  That said, there are numerous bugs I don't understand such as having two of the same person on the top 50 list.  I suppose it could be possible to manipulate that some how, but I have no idea.

Yes, that is right. The scores are a seperate database.

The only thing I could possibly think of would be to work 2 accounts into the top 50 :)
