My King.com "Bucket List" 3/2/10 8:56 PM
In the wake of my near-death experience last week (ok, I wasn't exactly near death, but my car DID spin out and off the road), I've decided to put together my own list of objectives I intend to reach in my King.com lifetime. I set the bar rather high for myself--if you think the castle level achievements are tough, get a load of this list:
Ph. D. IN GAMING: Collect all available diplomas.
So far, so good. I'm up to date, and collect the new ones each week.
KING OF ALL GAMES: Attain a rank of King or better in all games.
This will be hardest to attain in the multiplayer games - especially the unpopular ones, like Chesster and Pyramid Battle - and the nearly-forgotten classics, like Flower Power and Royale 55. Even so, I'll get there eventually.
RULER OF THE WORLD: Achieve a rank of Tyrant in any game.
I've been a Despot before, having gotten there in Jungle Bubble. Since then, my rank in JB has fallen all the way back into the 13k's, so this one might take a while.
THE GOLD STANDARD: Reach the Gold award level or better in all games.
Again, toughest in the multiplayer games and some of the classics. I'm really dreading trying to do this in Quiz Queen.
PRECIOUS GEM: Collect a Diamond award in any game.
Yeah, I could do this the easy way by using the Couronne King trick, but where's the sport in that? I think I'll try to get it in Luxor first, which would be fitting as, rankings aside, that's my strongest game.
UNDISPUTED CHAMPION: Win any Royal Cup.
I blew my best recent chance at this when I couldn't get past round 6 in the latest Luxor RC, but they have to put out a RC in Kitty Boom sometime. <salivating>
MONEY FOR NOTHING: Win first place in any freeroll.
I've come close to this one, having held the lead in a daily freeroll until 18 minutes before close. Oddly enough, it wasn't in Luxor, but in GoGo 21. I managed to hold on to second, which was worth a few bucks. My best performance in a Friday Freeroll was just recently (Feb. '10), when I placed fourth in Attaqua.
TO BE THE MAN: Beat Sowy in any game.
There are quite a few world-class gamers here on King.com, but I regard Sowy as the best of the best. Not to slight any of the others, but if I'm not mistaken, Sowy has held THREE Royal Cup crowns at once. As wrestling legend Ric Flair said, "To be the man, you gotta beat the man!" I count this one as complete if and when I either beat him in a head-to-head game, or finish first in any other tournament that he enters.
BEST OF FIVE: Elevate my skills to the point that I can beat anyone on King.com in a "Best of 5 Games" challenge.
By this, I mean that I intend to get good enough at EVERY game that any player on King will be able to challenge me in five different head-to-head games, and I'll win three of them. Needless to say, this achievement is hard to gauge, and is probably the toughest of them all. I guess that means I'm not going anywhere for a while.
Maybe I take this gaming thing a bit too seriously. Nah, that's what makes it fun for me ;) Take care and good luck!
