I include a link to the initial goal-setting post for 2023, for reference, if needed.

My last Splinterlands goal for this year was to Unlock 30 Land Plots in 2023.

Right now, I have 27/30 unlocked and 3 that are under construction and will be unlocked until the year-end. So, I consider this goal completed.

The last plot I unlocked instantly today using the Time Crystals that I still had in my account.

I also made a bunch of optimizations because I realized I had a common plot where grain was produced that used maxed-level cards on it. My original plan was ok with that because it is a different terrain type and I could use different cards on it. But gameplay proves a better strategy can be implemented while plots are being unlocked, and I can better use the available staked DEC.

Until the end of the year, I won't unlock more plots, but I will make more optimizations. I can still free up some staked DEC, but I won't do that until my next worksite is finished. It'll have plenty of slots to "upgrade".

My focus until the end of the year will be to become grain-sustainable. My grain reserves are running low and I need to boost my grain production to reach at least the hourly requirements of my workers in the next week or two.

Let's see what has changed since last week regarding my Hive goals.

HIVE Power (HP) + HBD in Savings Main Goal

My staked HIVE reached 37,613 HP this week, 120 HP more than last week. I am on target with the PUM challenge for December. I remained at 150 HBD in savings.

Here's what the evolution of the HP+HBD goal looks like:

At these prices, 1,555 more HBD-worth of HP and HBD are needed to complete the goal. If the price of HIVE goes up, this requirement goes down. Common $HIVE, all I need you to do is break that awful 39 cents resistance! I'm not asking much for Christmas, lol! 🤣 Or maybe I am... Well, if I am, this goal, as it was set, is history.

LEO Staked Main Goal

I staked 200 LEO this week and reached 21,900 LP (check the last section to see how much $LEO I purchased). My power-up from this week is exactly what is needed to achieve my year-end target.

I currently need to stake 200 LEO weekly (same as last week) to reach the target by the year-end.

Splinterlands Land Expansion Main Focus

Land expansion's main focus extends throughout 2023. Unless I change the strategy, it will be the only main focus / main goal for Splinterlands in 2023. But there will be several 1-3 months goals.

Land Plots Unlocked - Completed

Deadline: End of 2023

Target to consider the goal completed:

• at least 30 land plots in production

Current situation - COMPLETED:

• in production (including Keep): 27
• under construction (to be completed by the end of the year): 3
• under construction (to be completed in 2024): 0

First Land-Related Goal: DEC/DEC-B Saved - Completed

This goal is COMPLETED.

Deadline (passed): When DEC-B offer runs out, either because all were sold out or because the time limit was reached (April 9th).

Target to consider the goal completed: 1.5 mil. DEC-B saved. Done!

DEC Saved 2 Goal - Stage 1 Completed, Replaced

• [COMPLETED] Deadline stage 1: June
• replaced with the 'Land Plots Unlocked' Goal

Target to consider the goal completed:

• stage 1: 1.2m DEC (COMPLETED)
• replaced with the 'Land Plots Unlocked' Goal

New Land-Related Goal: Cards for Staking on Land Stage 2 Completed, Replaced

^{The purpose of this goal is to build the amount of high PP cards I need for staking on my tract.}

^{We will need to fill 5 slots per plot with staked cards, without requiring summoners (that doesn't mean they can't be used as regular cards).}

So, what are the details of this goal?

Deadline:

• [COMPLETED] Stage 1: June 2023
• [COMPLETED] Stage 1.5: August/whenever Land 1.5 is launched
• replaced with the 'Land Plots Unlocked' Goal

The total number of maxed-level* cards needed for staking on land: 500 (5 x 100).

• stage 1: need 120 cards for land by the deadline (decreased from 220) COMPLETED
• stretch goal: have optimized cards for 24 plots COMPLETED
• stage 1.5: need 220 cards for land by the deadline COMPLETED
• replaced with the 'Land Plots Unlocked' Goal

Comments Made

Original goal: 18k, REDUCED to 17k, by the end of 2023.

I started this week with a total of 16786 comments made.

Ended the week with 16862 comments made, which brings the number of my comments during this week to 76, which is higher than my needed weekly average.

I now need an average of 46 comments weekly to reach the goal of 17k.

Weekly Buy - LEO

LEO goal needed a push... again. I purchased LEO of almost 30 HIVE (close to 200 LEO). Needed for this week's power-up, to stake the minimum of 200 LEO, and also for LPUD, which is coming next week. Hopefully, it will be the last purchase of LEO this year, but I wouldn't bet on it, by how things progress...
