I feel I should continue the work from @nicofromtokyo and give some 2016 objectives. Previous year objectives TAP : TAP Orange GM Reach S9 before 800 TGM+ finished in sub 10 minutes Big mode 500 5 Death GMs in a row Make a TAP run without dying And get that TC project working at last Extra objective : doubles sub 5 done (thanks @Amnesia) Next year : Finish the translation of EoO Specialu thingu Memorization techniques TAP : Big mode 20g 300 and the rest NES Tetris PAL : Clear twenty lines in level 19 Reach 600,000 NES Tetris NTSC : Level 18 transition at 500,000 TGM 3 : Road to GM Shirashi donburi DTET : ffs TGM1 : Sub 9:45 What about you guys?
TGM1 GM Death 450 Shirase 400 NES: 400k Low goals this year. +37 levels in death, +17 in shirase. But expecting to reach 500 is a bit too much as of yet I think. I still feel the two games in one night that went to 400 in death was just a fluke.
I have no clue as to what I could manage in a year with my games being so inconsistent but I'll try to create some goals as to where I'd like to be: TGM1: GM (I'll be pretty disappointed if I don't get it.) TAP Master: S6. TAP DEATH: Level 400 (Maybe 500 if I work on my speed a bit.) Ti Master: Qualified S6, Provisional M1. Ti Shirase: S4. IRL: Not ded.
TGM1: Sub-10-minute GM TAP: Orange Line GM (preferably sub-8-minutes, but I'll take what I can get!) Sub-6-minute Death GM If I'm extra extra motivated, I want a perfect Texmaster save. Well, only as far as what the stats to the right of the play frame can say (so I'll settle for non-orange-line special GM) and I don't really have a goal for novice mode since there's no (possible) displayed maximum. Aside from TGM: Become a dan-level Go player (Current: KGS 3 kyu) Get into Beatmania IIDX More seriously practice playing musical instruments
Death M (gm?) Master M (gm?) Acquire ti. Other games: Finally make it back to masters in SC2 Not suck at pinball.
Besides getting the TGM1 GM my goals are more kond of inviting more friends over to play and visit stuff like the Eindhoven meeting. And work on the tc records system... Maybe...
Last year: Well I got death 280ish this year, and tgm 20g 8xx, I'm STILL trying to consistently get death 200 lol. While I'm not gunning for TGM GM this year, my goals are just to play more often, and enjoy the game.
TGM GM TAP S8 or higher Death M Ti Master or higher Shirase 1200 All of these except for the TAP stuff should be easy. I am also looking to be a dan level go player, small world! Though I have a further road, I'm currently hovering between 6 or 8 kyu.
TGM1: I haven't been able to get sub-10 reliably. First half needs work, 20G play is mostly okay, NO WASTING TIME AT LEVEL STOPS TGM2: Death sub-6 min. Ti: Qualified M
