@gigau @Wagonlitz the best place to attack is the mechanics list at the top of the contest page. Sort by total tickets amount and go from there. We heavily weight the mechanics on the contest.
There's a lot to be said in this contest for building and deploying a mechanics navbox too. Building it, putting on all mechanics pages, expanding the core mechanics page and putting in a few icons is likely to pull in ~75 tickets.
Verify a bunch of mechanics pages that haven't changed since 1.23/1.24 and you're in a hundreds which from previous experience is where you need to be for the icon/badge/shiny thing.
