I want to appreciate @bdcommunity for this great opportunity and curators for their efforts. This community has being a turnaround for me. Since I was introduced to this community by my friend. I find it so interesting and captivating. I am sure I will be among the winners one day and it might my turn to win. Don't mind the way I talked.... I love competition so much and I don't give up. The reason is that, I started going for competition in my elementary school. We won and also lose. Anytime I lost in competition my mother will say, those kids are good as I but they prepared better than me." This worlds always made me to prepared more and if I failed again, she would say the same words to me. Anytime I won the competition, she would say, "Chris you can win with big merging". I was been pushed by my mother to success and that is mentality I have today.
This week contest is to make splinterlands lovers and players flashed back their memories on how they started. It is indeed a great collection of data from battlers around the globe.
My splinterlands journey started in 2019 through @burlarj. He is someone I love so much and because of that I started following him and continuing checking his blog to learn how to post in my blog. I continuously saw posting about game being played from 2018 to 2019; but I don't really know it was steemmonsters then.
I saw a link at the end of writing, ,"if you want to join splinterlands click here." I clicked it but I don't have enough money to register. It took me some months to gathered some coins. I used all my coins to buy cards -though it was small.
I played more than 30 times, I did not win single game. I was so frustrated by the game because I don't know how to play it. I stopped playing splinterlands since last year November until May 2020.
During this lockdown, burlarj send me text message, "Chris this game is interested, you can play it". Unknown to him that I have registered already. I told him I have registered but I don't know how to play the game. He was surprised and requested for my username. I gave him my username name. He said, "you need to buy some cards to make it interesting. He also sent me some cards and told me to go through the guidelines.
I went through the guidelines but I don't know how to play it until he used my account to play for me. I watched the clips of the videos and started arranging my cards the way he used it. I was using the same strategy to play and sometimes I won also lose.
He messaged me again that I should look at how my opponents used their cards and game arrangements. That was were I catched it. I started doing well in the game.
I bought monsters and Summoners with all the coins I had in the account- though it was small amount of coins.
Last month, I met a generous man called @mmckersie on discord, we were talking about the lockdown and he asked me that, "Do you need cards" I gave him quick response 'yes!!!'. He sent me dragon Summoner level 2, coursed slimeball level 3, Giant scorpion level 3 and undead badger level 1. I was really happy and took the game personal. Later clove71 was doing giveaway, I was fortunate and he sent me one pack. I also saw a good cards inside.
MY ACHIEVEMENT
Though my account is still very low but I thank God almighty for bringing me here. I was able to pulled some cards that are very good. Most importantly, it kept me busy during lockdown. I wasn't bored at all at home and I was playing splinterlands day and night.
I also learned life lessons while playing it.
My achievement so far was the last season, I reached champion league III. I have never reached champion stage before. It was my first time.
MY GOALS
I have many goals in splinterlands, I have seen Max account and am interested in that. I knew it takes a lot of efforts and aspirations to do it. I have plans of leveling my account to Max.
am also interested in contesting for tournaments.
I want to also become one of the investors.
WHY AM I AIMING SO HIGH
I knew splinterlands will be come one of the biggest and largest game industry in the world. People will be gushing in to invest.
