Earlier in the week, I was promoted to a league I really shouldn't be in, so I've been trying to just play as many games as possible to see if I can really get to where I'm supposed to be or maybe pull myself up to the level of the other players in the same league as me.

I found that after I'd lost a game or two in succession, there wasn't much I could do to motivate myself, and I realised that it was because I had a great long term goal (getting better) but no short term goal other than, "Win matches."

I racked my brains and eventually came up with a way to keep myself in focused while I was mass gaming. Hope it's as helpful for other people!

Invite some friends to play; you might lose a heap of games, but you could win the bingo metagame.


Edit: It's been pointed out that the above would reward you for all kinds of sloppy behaviour, so I've made an updated one that should actually help me to improve

You could actually redesign the game to force you to play better. e.g. instead of "supply blocked 3 times" you could use "not supply blocked in an entire game".

Well yeah, that makes way more sense; I think my "Seek good in bad," approach could be a problem...

It's best when you have a few people on your list so you always have someone to blame.

Demoted/Promoted seem like a too rare thing to put on the bingo board o.O I can think of a few things to add instead or just more options in general.

- Base Trade (Win/Lose, could fill 2 spots)
- Lose a game because you made too many drones
- Lose way too many workers to a harass
- Fail to scout a big tech switch

Should add a box: "prevent opponent from expanding"

I did that today, was so exhilarating.

Get workers off mineral line is an easy good one too.

Alright, so I've done up a table that should hopefully actually help me to improve, rather than rewarding me for making mistakes:

Thanks to anyone who made suggestions so far. If anyone has anything else they'd add to it then I'm all ears

It's just the name of the site that hosts the bingo table generator I used I just take a screenshot of it because it only gives you the table in PDF.
