Some players may have noticed that they were not seeing that troublesome fellow who would not allow them remain on the Steem Memory game top leaderboard for more than an hour. I @us-andrew is that troublesome fellow. And I'm back for you guys. ![Screenshot_20250809-220912.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXGDvKdVXAwAVMK7YdRewLjkCWm84FPbLjcjXyLfQ9acQ/Screenshot_20250809-220912.png) These mythical creatures were giving me tough time at the very beginning. I can remember when there were first Introduced into the game. They'll just pop up randomly in the afternoon when ever I wanted to play. I was always expecting the food theme. Since it was still around. I was conversant with that one. So anytime this mythical creatures would pop up when I started playing, I would panic because, I didn't know them so we'll. So, I would always get a low scores. But as time went on. I mastered them and I could at so well. Why I stopped playing the game was because of what happened the last time I did. I payed 1 steem to play the paid mode. And after the game refreshed that day, I was announced as the winner for the day. But I never received the pricepool from the game. Neither did they return my 1 steem. I was so pissed. I complained but no reasonable response till now. I believe it was an error in the system. And probably it has bin corrected. Maybe @kafio can give me an assurance about that. So I can start playing the paid mode again. On my first trial for the afternoon. I got a very low score which I shouted Jesus!!!!!! Was this me? Is it because I had been inactive for like a week? The score was so low that I didn't even bother checking where I'd land on the leaderboard. I immediately requested for another round and start playing. It happened that even the second one wasn't even really better than the first one. ![Screenshot_20250809-220456.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmP9afVZpSCnWiVinvC1pBzPCjHuCgXLxunf8zZ1KCwvjp/Screenshot_20250809-220456.png)|![Screenshot_20250809-220435.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYR7Ty4ibktmsnEaGjrJmxFpsxtwiijpwxXqsivavuBQr/Screenshot_20250809-220435.png) -|- ![Screenshot_20250809-220621.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSUZA88vNMLStiG1XW7fctWKmkDYybtjanLeBC8qYUHqW/Screenshot_20250809-220621.png)|![Screenshot_20250809-220555.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVqZs4nNV7KAg8kJKqwMdywaBSNG4BbheCf51nYgqyhQ8/Screenshot_20250809-220555.png) -|- Watch these video to get the full gist. https://youtu.be/E3r8w-q59Ww?si=E9eecllHnKn2c9we I was disgusted by my poor performance. I had to put myself together, focus my mind and play one more time. After playing for the third time. I got and encouraging score. 1574. That was a score I would likely get on my bad days back then. ![Screenshot_20250809-220724.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdLMSc34hd1VkWQMFn4PvpAx8SPJPekLEftMnwQx2YMru/Screenshot_20250809-220724.png)|![Screenshot_20250809-220703.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmS41PRc2jqAXxd1wJxybsnRbsJZYeuWazHHp5pumAyDeZ/Screenshot_20250809-220703.png) -|- Yet, the satisfaction wasn't there . A voice was whispering into my ears " On more time". So, I decided to listen. I went again. This time , I saw the flow, the condition was good. I was moving as fat as possible, remembering like there was enough storage space in my memory at that time. Immediately I completely flipped all the cards, a wonderful score of 1617 popped up. ![Screenshot_20250809-220841.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNaYbWFWiFHorLVW8wbbmmGuJqYtwmuhWMu5KsKg5wdUo/Screenshot_20250809-220841.png)|![Screenshot_20250809-220831.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZSi3wivAiZZWa1hv9dgNKNkCpTMYds7aQV12Bs4o6i9o/Screenshot_20250809-220831.png) -|- Now, that's more like @us-andrew. Now, I can rest. I went to check the leaderboard, and I was second. Actually, the guy at first position had the same score as me. But his moves were lower than mine. Nevertheless, my time was lower than his as well . But how it was calculated , I don't know. ![Screenshot_20250809-220858.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmctc3r4KCpNjsXqhrsUAPDK7T8vSq1K1qZsy26AJzf7YF/Screenshot_20250809-220858.png) Anyways, I ranked 2nd on the leaderboard that day. I'm glad I'm still good at the game. See you next time. Bye. Make sure to play one of the games today. @emmaboy23 @imohmitch @sampson01
