2022 Goals and Overdue Introduction Post
Introduction
I have been meaning to write an introduction post for a while now but I just ended up writing small pieces each day and delaying it. I also happened to be delaying my 2022 goals post so I figured I could combine the two.
By means of introduction, I go by the online handle of Allani545 and I am a Crypto enthusiast, gamer, and amateur blog writer from Australia.
I have been investing in the Crypto space since mid to late 2020 initially to diversify my stock portfolio. I subsequently joined the Play 2 Earn Crypto environment in May 2021 through the medium of Splinterlands and now I've expanded into quite a few Play 2 Earn games.
I have been gaming for most of my life and started in the early days with isometric role playing games like Baldur's Gate. In more recent times I have sunk a lot of time into games like The Witcher 3, Path of Exile, Halo and Age of Empires.
I actually started blogging a few years ago in 2015 doing Indie game reviews and highlights but I stopped after a few weeks. It was probably due to a multitude of reasons revolving around platform usability, post reach, content and design. I have since started again on Peakd with a reinvigorated approach.
Goals
So I have got quite a few goals for this year and some of them are quite ambitious but I am defining success by how far I get along the line to achieving them. I will break them down by project for ease of explanation.
Blog Writing on Peakd
Goal: Write one blog post each day
This goal commenced on the 12 Jan 2022 and so far so good. I am aiming for it to be a mix of content from: Splinterlands, Rising Star, NFT Spotlights, Book Reviews, Poetry Analysis, Travel and Brewery Reviews. I will keep expanding into different areas throughout the year.
Goal: Have 10,000 ONEUP and 10,000 Splintertalk (SPT) tokens
The purpose of building up to 10,000 of each of these tokens is largely for curation purposes. To expediate the process I currently have the small amount that I have of each delegated to the @oneup-cartel for curation rewards. I currently hold 28 ONEUP and 111 SPT.
Splinterlands
Goal: Build a competitive Gold Deck
Currently I have a deck that is fighting in Silver 1 quite comfortable and I have the majority of Chaos Legion Monsters and Summoners maxed to Silver Level.
Goal: Have 25,000 SPS staked
This is more of a reflection of the emphasis I believe SPS will have in upcoming aspects in the Splinterlands Universe. It also is the premise for the ongoing voucher airdrops which will likely have continued use cases in future releases. I am currently sitting at 12,008 SPS staked.
Rising Star
Goal: Become a Starbit Millionaire
For this goal I am looking to break into the Starbit Millionaire club that requires level 50 in game as well 1,000,000 Starbits held on the hive-engine. I am currently level 33 with 945 Starbits held on the hive-engine.
Goal: Break into the Top 100 players
This is to start earning some of the daily passive rewards offered by Rising Star for placing within the top 100 players each day. I currently rank 777 in top Rising Star players.
Dcrops
Goal: Hold 25 Land Cards and 100 Seed Cards
This goal is centred around being able to complete the seasonal quest each season. I am currently holding 4 Land cards and 20 Seed Cards.
Other Projects
I am also currently involved in a number of other projects but I haven't really made quantifiable goals for them. Those projects are: Bombcrypto, Mammoth Mythics, Faded Monsuta, Warsaken, The Adventurer's Guild and Blockchain RPG.
Goal: Hold 100 Cartel Tokens
This is more of a safety net goal. One Up Cartel is doing a lot of good work across a very broad and ever expanding Play 2 Earn crypto world. They have their fingers in a lot of pies and everyone involved is very motivated and committed. I am glad to be part of the cartel family and currently hold 10 Cartel Tokens.

I hope you achieve all your goals! Godblessz
Thank you so much for the support.
First, it's always a treat to bump into another Age of Empires or Baldur's Gate fan! Much of my youth was spent playing both for nearly a decade with my family. Even now, Age of Empires is still a yearly thing my family tries to come together to play.
Second, I love seeing your goals laid out with concrete numbers that are practical but ambitious. Here's to hopin' you're able to achieve as many of them as possible, and a lil' bump to send you on your way ;)
!1UP
Hey Entrepidus! I swear there is an army of secret Baldur's Gate fans out there. I really appreciate the comment. I've been reading your posts on everything Gods Unchained.
Oh hey! Glad to see my posts are well-received :)
I, too, think there's a magic wardrobe somewhere out there that leads to the mecca of Isometric D&D games ;P
Welcome to hive! Planning your steps is really ambitious and don't be afraid to dream big, just remember to do small steps towards your goal to make the journey possible.
I was going to curate your post on behalf of the cartel curation to give a little help with the Oneup and SPT tokens goal, but it seems that my fellow curator entrepidus was faster XD
Good luck and have fun with your one post per day challenge!!
Hey Trashyomen! Thanks. I think that is part of why I was putting off for a time. I didn't want to go too ambitious at the start and kind of be destined to fail. I read, and at times refer back to your detailed post about Ragnarok. Really looking forward to that project.
Ambition and greed can be blinding, you did right by taking small steps at a time and going at your own pace
Glad you liked that post! It was a collaborative effort, entrepidus and Spiritsurge also did a lot for that one
I wish you all the Best for your goals in 2022. I need to define mine, but I wont do it for the whole year.
For me the world is spinning to fast and I will try to do it more on a month to month basis I guess.
Thanks for your support so far.
Hey Kheldar, monthly or even quarterly goals would be a good way to tackle it. Especially if you are busy for feel like you can dedicate less time in certain months/times of the year. Thanks!
You have received a 1UP from @entrepidus!
@monster-curator, @oneup-curator, @neoxag-curatorAnd look, they brought !PIZZA 🍕

We have really similar goals!
My SPS goals are much lower than yours, but my OneUp and SPT goals are higher
Good luck on the daily posts, it's very hard to maintain but I think you'll be able to do it! I'll be curating them along the way with what little SPT and Oneup I can bring to the table >:D !LUV !PIZZA
@jakkal(1/1) gave you LUV.
H-E tools | connect | <><
Great minds Jak! hahaha yeah I think I'll need to plan them out! Thank for the support brother!
hello @allani545 any tips for getting into blogging on peakd on a daily? I have been thinking about it lately and have a few different things going on in the non-virtual world that I would like to blog about.
Hey man! Good to see you on here. The biggest hurdle is starting.
Once you do that, identify a few focus areas that you want to write about. I recommend a bit of a schedule of things you want to write about and break it up by writing about different things eg: Crypto, Sports and Travel.
If you are really keen, write posts in advance for scheduled releases.
I'll send you some stuff separately that will help with the appeal side of things.
I haven't formed my goals yet. But I like how you are setting up the year. I will follow your progress. I am new to crypto so I am still trying to figure out the different tokens and what to try to achieve. Please keep providing progress reports.
Thanks! I hope it gives you some direction or at least an example of some goals. I'll try and do like a quarterly update or at worst a six month update.
