| Count me in... but I'm still not 100% on how scoring works. On my scoring day do I only one or two achievements or does the count go up each time? By that I mean do I have to be scoring 30 achievements per turn by the end of this or is it still just a couple? |

30+ by the end of it.
See, on Day 1 you only have to earn 1 achievement to build.
The second day that you build, you would then need 2 achievements.
The third day you build you would need 3 achievements.
On the fourth day, another team has tossed a red brick at you, well crap, now you need to build 4 achievements (to get through the red brick) and then 5 achievements (to keep building a new floor).
It's real simple to follow once it gets rolling. |

You would have to build 9? Not 5? |

No, it would be 5 total. |

Yeah, 9 total to break through the red brick in that example.
I just worded it very poorly.

| Thanks for the explanation. I sort of thought that was how it worked anyway but wanted to make sure. So say on the 30th day I only earn 24 achievements... my team can make up the difference for me maybe another person scoring 36 total? |

No, not quite. Let's forget the bricks for a moment.
Only, 1 teammate is designated as the builder each day. He/she has to get at least 1 more achievement than the last time they were a builder. On the 30th you would have towers of various sizes amongst your team totaling 30 achievements.
However, if 1 teammate built for 29 straight days, they would need 30 achievements on the 30th day. The rest of their lazy team would be at 0 and would only need 1 achievement whenever they were scheduled to build.
Now, if a brick is thrown at you, it adds 1 to your build requirement for the day. A teammate can cover this for you and take the additional level on their tower instead.

5 not 9. It might help to think of everything you have to build as bricks. If the last time you built you did level 3, then the next time you build you will have four brown bricks to start with. But if an opponent tossed a brick in your pile, then now you have five bricks, so you would need 5 achievements in this example. Does that make sense? |

Should be able to handle both concurrently without a problem really. GTASC is about score and this is about achievements. Should workout. |

So just to clarify on other teammates handling red bricks during my day to build...just making sure I have it right.
Team XYZ throws a red brick at Team ABC.
Teammate A is building. He's currently needs 9 achievements to successfully build.
Teammate B is on an off day. He has 3 bricks in his tower.
Teammate B would need to successfully score 4 achievements to cover the red brick?
TLDR:
Teammates taking red bricks instead of their builder results in 2 team members building on one day instead of just one? |

Yes that is how it works. If you want to keep Teammate A at 9 instead of pushing him up to 10, then Teammate B can place the red brick on top of his own tower, which means earning the height of his tower to climb up there as well as an achievement to cover placing the red brick on top. |

| Thanks Laus...one last question. Do completions that earn red bricks have to be started during the Skyline challenge? Or are you saying it would be wise to hold off on some of my near-completion titles? ;) |

| Hold off on your near-completions. And to clarify a general rule of completions, if you complete a game on February 1st, it won't show up in the feed until February 2nd, so you have to wait a day to get the gold brick. |

| Can a team member who has been eliminated still work on picking up the "extra slack" bricks? |

As the 50th player to sign up, we are sitting at 12 teams + 2 needing a team. So once two more players sign up then your spot will be solidified and a 13th team will be filled. |
