By Friday afternoon I'd caught up with my attacks at around 50-60. I took it easy then and only battled a few people above me. By that point I'd climbed up to around 400.
I did pretty much the same thing today. I only used the free SoW throughout the day and got to around 200 with a few hours to go. I only got the rare revenge, no attacks. I had to do a few things and got home with 30 mins to go. I was still right around 200, so I went for it. With only 1 refill I made it to the top 100 with very little work. It was only at the very end that I finally started getting hit.
The reason I called this an exploit in the title is because without that bug that carries your attacks over into the following week, this wouldn't work the same. I think with a little more effort at the end someone could go pretty far without much work throughout the week. Another example of being rewarded to not play. Anyway, I'm sure this bug is something they're working on a fix for.
I hope someone finds all this interesting. I'm not recommending it by any means. Most of you guys on here already have much better strategies anyway. I just thought I should finish this post and share the results.
