A couple months ago I set the goal to reach the 800k mark before New Year when I was at ~770k, and after a final rush I managed to do it. It's been a great year of medalling for me, with its highs and lows but very productive in that matter. Way more productive than anything regarding real life but oh well, who cares about that shithole called reality.
Anyways, this insane amount of medals wouldn't have been possible to get without the many walkthroughs and guides that fellow users around here share with everyone else; the examples that come first to mind being @qwerty741 @Magnus727 @OneThousandMeeps @Plasmarift @Knuckstrike @Edykel and many many more. It's amazing to see that much dedication at helping others and it makes me want to give it a try and start making some walkthroughs myself in the future.
Shout-out as well to @fuckoffasshole @HerbieG @JimmyCarlos @SuperSapito and @Andrey20, who at some point helped me or simply took the time to have a conversation with an introvert weirdo like me. Really appreciate it guys <3
As for my next goal, it's rather clear: to finally claim the long-awaited throne, although I'm aware of the two monsters that I have above me. @Amereep is a medal hoarder like no other and won't give up their crown that easily for sure, and @HerbieG might seem a bit inactive these days, but I fear the day he makes a comeback, for he will put all of us to rest. ;)
I'm hyped to see how this epic battle will turn out.
Well, I think I mentioned way too many people already, so I'll just leave it here. I'm really happy to be a part of this community. Merry Christmas everyone and here's to a new year packed with lots of medals!
