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

With 9 weeks to go until the year-end and 1,750 LEO left to the yearly goal, I decided last week should be the last one when I purchased more LEO, giving me some relief at the end to see what else I should pursue.

I'll need to come up with at least 195 LEO staked weekly to complete my goal. Hopefully, that will be achievable without more interventions, considering my delegation to leo.voter too.

Given the break above 30-31k for bitcoin, and alts following, I might choose to hold back on additional weekly purchases to see if I'll need more HIVE at the end to reach my HP+HBD in savings main goal. With HIVE's price on the rise, there is a good chance this goal may be achieved. Anyway, the experience with this goal this year has taught me not to try something similar again in the future. It's a highly unpredictable progress with little control from your part.

Hopefully the last deadline on releasing Land 1.5 in November will be the last one too because I pretty much moved the Splinterlands focus on the back burner, other than adding up small amounts of DEC every week.

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 35,879 HP this week, 134 HP more than last week. I am on target with the PUM challenge for October (one day left - tomorrow). My HBD savings remain constant at 200 HBD.

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

LEO Staked Main Goal

I staked another 250 LEO this week - about 91 LEO purchased - and reached 20,750 LP. My powerup from this week is above what is needed to achieve my year-end target.

I currently need to stake 195 LEO weekly (lower than 200 LEO 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.

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

[COMPLETED] Deadline stage 1: June
Deadline stage 2: extended to the end of 2023 from the launch of Land 1.5
Deadline stage 3: Postponed to 2024 (considered missed for 2023)

Target to consider the goal completed:

• stage 1: 1.2m DEC (COMPLETED)
• stage 2: 2.2 DEC (1m additional DEC)
• stage 3: 5 DEC (2.8m additional DEC)

Current situation: 1.2m DEC (liquid) + 235k DEC (liquid) = 1.435m DEC.

Note: Slowly adding DEC weekly until Land 1.5 is released.

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

^{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
• Stage 2: End of 2023? (this will be a new 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
• stage 2: have 500 cards for land
• stretch goal: have optimized cards for 44 plots

(*) any card with at least 1000 PP suitable for the terrain types I own will do (better for better plots); doesn't have to be maxed; temporarily lowered the minimum to 800 PP. Will reduce it further for the initial stages of the gameplay of land.

Current situation total: 144 / 500 (28%), but counted at least 220

Current situation stage 2: 144 / 500

Time remaining until Stage 2 deadline: ?

Note: Mainly waiting for Land with this goal.

Comments Made

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

I started this week with a total of 16267 comments made.

Ended the week with 16357 comments made, which brings the number of my comments during this week to 90, which is above my needed weekly average.

I now need an average of 72 comments weekly to reach the goal of 17k.

Weekly Buy - LEO

I continued my weekly LEO purchases this week (about 91 LEO purchased compared to 84 the week before). This is probably the last week I made this purchase, even though I get more LEO for 10 HIVE these days, but I'm getting close to my LEO goal, and I will probably switch to something else next week.
