OHHHHH, so no need to get a 2nd pc... thank you very much.

I'd like to point out that token resets happen at Monday, Thursday, and Saturday but at 10AM PST. Thus, you can squeeze in an extra run in some places.
Like in Early Week Plan 1 for 50 and 80 tokens, you have 2 tokens remaining by Wednesday. If you do a run Thursday but before 10AM PST it will only cost 2 tokens, and you can use your remaining 2.

If you were to do that, however, you'd have to add the tokens onto the next set's total amount of tokens. That would cause some changes to each plan. For example if you wanted to use the left-over two tokens from the Monday Wednesday plan 1, then you'd have to assume that you're getting 48 tokens on Monday to Wednesday and 52 on Thursday to Friday. This would allow you to do 1 extra run on Monday to Friday. So I suppose if anyone wishes to do this, it is possible.
This is only a simple guide, for doing the most runs within each of the token resets. It isn't by any means a complete walkthrough of every single possible token and ride combination, which would take a while to do <_<;;

The trip/day resets one hour before the tokens do though, at 9 AM PST. So you have to squeeze the runs in that one hour to do what you just said. And it will mean that you will start at 50 tokens at 10 AM, but with 1 trip (or more) already used. On the 3 day schedule it's easy to catch that up, but on the 2 days schedule you are actually losing a trip at least, the same as just leaving the 2 tokens rot rather than use them between 9 and 10.
I'll try to do a spreadsheet, see if there is a number of trips that would make this optimal if you have too many tokens remaining at 9 AM.

The only way the extra trip between Boat Counter reset and Token Reset will work out in your favor is IF you have 2 tokens left over from the first set of tokens, and WILL have enough tokens left over from your second set to make up for another trip. One example is: If you have 2 tokens left over on the Monday-Wednesday set of tokens, and the Thursday-Friday set of Tokens will leave you with 1 extra token if your last trip will cost you 3 tokens, or 2 extra tokens if your last trip will cost you 4 tokens. If your tokens do not meet these two conditions, you will lose boat trips.
If you happen to have any tokens left over, and know you can spam them all down within the hour, then just add the amount of tokens you just used to the total of your next set. For example: If you have 10 tokens left over on your Monday to Wednesday plan, and are able to use all 10 during the the time between boat counter reset and token reset, then you can act as if you're following a 60 token Thursday to Friday plan. Doing this, however, will lower the total number of trips you can take during your whole week, so it is not suggested that you do this unless you know you can't finish all your trips.
EDIT: Added Two-Week Plans

Here's a simple plan involving spending those 2 tokens from mon-wed plan 1. However, you must spend the carryover tokens in between the boat counter reset at 12pm est and the token reset at 1pm est.
Mon - 50 tokens - 8 trips (17 tokens) = 33 tokens
Tue - 33 tokens - 8 trips (17 tokens) = 16 tokens
Wed - 16 tokens - 7 trips (14 tokens) = 2 tokens (carryover to thurs)
Thu - 52 tokens - 11 trips (26 tokens) = 26 tokens
Fri - 26 tokens - 11 trips (26 tokens) = 0 tokens
Sat - 50 tokens - 11 trips (26 tokens) = 24 tokens
Sun - 24 tokens - 10 trips (23 tokens) = 1 token (unspent)

Yea, that's kinda accounted for in the guide, though I do it for two full weeks so that you make full use of all the tokens, rather than having 1 unspent.

question. isn't it a pain in the #@$*QUFIASFQ. to create a boat with one windows (main char), switch user, go in, pay token, ready, switch user, go, switch user, leave boat, switch user, play?
that sounds like a ridiculous amount of hassle that would probably frustrate the rest of the party in a raid run.

It doesn't sound like it would take more than 30 seconds.
But if your raid party is getting pissed at you, then don't use that method for raid.

I find those parties annoying because it's not much different than an AFKer

I came up with a "Desperate Maxed Runs Schedule"
-must get seal exchange every day-
Thurs - 13 runs - 32 tokens used - 28 tokens left
Fri - 13 runs - 32 tokens used - 6 tokens left*
Sat - 13 runs - 32 tokens used - 34 tokens left
Sun - 13 runs - 32 tokens used - 12 tokens left*
Mon - 13 runs - 32 tokens used - 40 tokens left
Tues - 13 runs - 32 tokens used - 18 tokens left
Wed - 11 runs - 26 tokens used - 2 tokens left*
Thurs - 13 runs - 32 tokens used - 30 tokens left
Fri - 13 runs - 32 tokens used - 8 tokens left*
Sat - 13 runs - 32 tokens used - 36 tokens left
Sun - 13 runs - 32 tokens used - 14 tokens left*
Mon - 13 runs - 32 tokens used - 42 tokens left
Tues - 13 runs - 32 tokens used - 20 tokens left
Wed - 12 runs - 29 tokens used - 1 tokens left
Repeat
[SIZE="1"]
Starts at Thurs because carry over.[/SIZE]
This will net you 179 runs.
*Tokens must be used on the next day in between boat trip and token reset.
Lime Player can decide which day to be 11 runs, or pick two days for 12 runs, but no day should have over 13 runs.
Blue Player can decide which day to be 12 runs, or pick one day for 14 runs and have one day for 11 runs, or one 14 and two 12.
By the way, you have the runs amount slightly wrong for Two week plan (Plan 2). 15 runs take 40 tokens, with one run before it you will need 42 tokens. (adding 2 tokens as you go from 2 per trip to 4 per tip, the total number of 3 per trip stays the same.) But you have the total number of runs right, as you would have 3 left and can use it on the next day. So instead of getting 16 total runs on Thurs One and 12 runs on Fri One, you get 15 runs on Thurs One and 13 runs Fri One.

Actually I have them correct. You're forgetting to take into account that the 1 run in the interim counts towards that day's runs. Therefore that 15 runs for 41 tokens assumes you're running trips 2 to 16, which when added together comes out to 41, rather than 40.
