BUCKET LIST UPDATE 2/9/12 8:43 AM

After an improbable win in last night's daily freeroll (Pyramid), I have now completed two of the nine items on my King.com Bucket List. If you don't remember the list or don't feel like going back to look for it, it goes like this:

Ph. D. IN GAMING: Collect all available diplomas.
I've let this one slip quite a bit, as I've had neither the funds nor the patience to take it seriously at this time. I'll go back and get the rest at some point.

KING OF ALL GAMES: Attain a rank of King or better in all games.
This is hard enough to do in all the new games, let alone the older, less popular games. Many of the newer games don't have a progressive jackpot tournament, which makes it very difficult to move up in rank once you get past 3000 or so (because amount of money won figures into rank changes). Doesn't mean I won't do it--just means it'll take a while.

RULER OF THE WORLD: Achieve a rank of Tyrant in any game.
Haven't made much progress here. Still in the mid 13Ks in Jungle Bubble, low 13Ks in Luxor, and not really close in any other game.

THE GOLD STANDARD: Reach the Gold award level or better in all games.
It's just a matter of playing more games, when I have more money.

PRECIOUS GEM: Collect a Diamond award in any game.
COMPLETE!
As I expected, I got this one in Luxor, around the beginning of the year.

UNDISPUTED CHAMPION: Win any Royal Cup.
Well, I can't complain about lack of opportunities, as there are a boatload of Royal Cups open. This one is all about playing when you're hot, and not when you're not. I thought I had a chance at Letter Star, but you always get that one name you've never heard of, and of course your opponent has. Oh well.

MONEY FOR NOTHING: Win first place in any freeroll.
COMPLETE!
Just nailed this one last night, Feb. 8, 2012, in Pyramid. I scored a little over 168K, having gotten to level 8. Oddly enough, no one else scored over 160K. I guess I'm better at catching scarabs than they are.

TO BE THE MAN: Beat Sowy in any game.
I've gotten close to some of his scores, but haven't beaten him yet. One of these days...

BEST OF FIVE: Elevate my skills to the point that I can beat anyone on King.com in a "Best of 5 Games" challenge.
Again, one of these days...

Also, you may have noticed that I'm no longer doing the Diploma Guide. However, I have answered a few recent questions in the last Strategy Corner, and new questions are always welcome. I'll answer them when I can. Take care and good luck!
