Two more weeks to the end! * My Hive Goals (Week 50, 2023)

This is a short sum-up table with the state of my goals in easier TLDR form. The table has only a general overview, with details expanded in the post.

Main Goals Completed	0
Main Goals Missed	0

Missed Goals	1 (DEC Saved 2 - Stage 3)
Main goals	3 (HP + HBD Savings, LEO Staked, Comments Made)

Decreased Goals	2 (Comments Made, Cards for Staking on Land - Stage 1)
Goals Replaced	2 (Remaining Cards for Staking on Land goals, Remaining DEC Staking goals) with (Land Plots Unlocked)

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

Two weeks to go, and yet, I haven't completed any of the remaining goals last week... But I'm getting close.

Let's see what I have left. The HP+HBD in savings main goal is likely a miss as I kind of anticipated for a while. However, when we look at rough numbers, I added 12,640 HP this year compared to 12,431 HP in 2022, sensibly a similar amount, but with the caveat that this year I did it with very few external funds, unlike in 2022. So, I think I can't be upset about missing this goal, maybe a little bit about the way I set it.

My other main goal regarding the LEO stake will be achieved no matter what. I still have 400 LEO to the goal, but I'll wait until the last week.

And finally, the comments goal could have been achieved this week if I pushed a little. But next week will do.

I currently have no Splinterlands goal ongoing, but despite long periods of having nothing to focus on to help with them and the crashing rewards during the year, it was a decent year for my Splinterlands goals:

• achieved: 5
• increased: 1
• decreased: 1
• replaced: 2
• missed: 1 (not really, never reached that stage; it would have been pushed to 2024, but I reorganized my goals after the Land 1.5 release)

In the end, these goals led to amassing first 1.5m DEC-B used to buy Starter Packages for Land, and again over 1,5m DEC until I stopped counting (and used some for TCs), enough cards for land (things here become blurry since I used more cards from my playing deck than I initially had dedicated for land), and at least 30 land plots cleared and productive by the year-end, which was the last goal I achieved last week for Splinterlands.

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 37,735 HP this week, 122 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:

I consider this goal missed, but I'll wait until the end to call it.

LEO Staked Main Goal

I staked 200 LEO this week on LPUD and reached 22,100 LP. 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

Final 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 16862 comments made.

Ended the week with 16963 comments made, which brings the number of my comments during this week to 101, which is higher than my needed weekly average.

I now need an average of 19 comments weekly to reach the goal of 17k.

Weekly Buy - ON HOLD

Waiting to see if LEO needs another push on the last week of the year.
