...Eh? That’s not T1k though???

(Boring story ahead)

------

My first attempt at trying to get a T1k was for Neo-Aspect. I totally skipped Double Rainbow (I was having the time of my life in Japan, bite me), and once it dawned on me how important the band story events actually are, I tried to get T1k for Neo Aspect.

It didn’t work out. XD

A combination of having a weak band, skipping day 1 (was preparing for something), and spending the last 4 days of the event on a family trip (the something) meant that I didn’t stand much of a chance. The closest I got was T1100; I finished the event at around T1500.

Nonetheless, I vowed to get T1k for the 3 remaining band story events.

A poor result (T10k...) for Beating in the Rain made one thing clear to me: I’m gonna need a stronger band, and that meant upgrading all the area items. Crystals and Shards are best farmed by playing a lot, while Michelle Monaka’s-

Well, they’re best farmed by tiering. The higher you go, the more Monaka’s you get.

The Cursed Well and The School Spirit proved to be a dead event (I didn’t know this at the time), so I managed to bag my first T1k. I also considered this as practice for my attempt at Luminous Once More, so things were looking good. I still didn’t have a very good band though, so realistically I was looking at another repeat of the Neo-Aspect disaster.

But then Aya came home. First try. ;^; (no seriously, she did)

With her arrival, my chances increased significantly. During my first T1k, a dead event, I finished in 847th place. For Luminous Once More? A major event?

I finished 530th. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

I spent the next event resting (because I honestly felt like I pushed myself during Luminous Once more, LOL), but starting from the event after that - Happy Adventure! Treasure Island Smiles! - I vowed to keep getting T1k until the final Band Story 2 event - HaroHapi’s I need you!. Mostly to just ensure I maximize my chances at getting T1k for both Tied to the Skies and I Need You!, but you know what they say.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

After finally getting T1k on I Need You!, it was time to rest. I’ve achieved my goal. Unfortunately, it was only my 9th straight T1k (starting from Happy Adventure), so I told myself... just one more. To round it off at 10, right? Right.

And so, Arisa’s “Not Bad” Day off was another T1k. Surely, the last one.

But then the next event... was dead AF.

With my usual pace (I was “only” collecting stamps and 3* members at that point), I somehow managed to hover just outside T100. And what do you know! My last row of titles only has 3 items (4 per row)! Surely it would be such a fitting end, if after 10 straight T1k’s, I finish my streak with a T100 that fits nicely into that empty space!! It would be so easy anyway!! :D

The last day of the event, was the first day of my 2nd trip to Japan.

I ranked 78th for Backstage Pass while resting in front of Nijo Castle in Kyoto.

That’s how you finish a streak.

------

I spent the remainder of my Japan trip actually focusing on the trip, only playing while I was resting in the hotel (also because mobile data is expensive AF). I told myself I was done with tiering. Whatever I got for the next event, then so be it.

“I wouldn’t be able to catch up anyway.”

I would like to point out that I haven’t bought a single star at that point. Any flame that I recovered, was either regenerated naturally, or acquired by watching ads.

...Or recovered from live boost drinks that I got from the handful of VS Lives I T1k’d. Now those, I had a lot of.

...And so, it was another T1k, at the expense of the drinks I’ve saved up. Besides, it was the Steadfast Pride, Piercing Sunset (aka Roselia vs Afterglow) event, I couldn’t possibly miss my beloved YukiRan ship, right? ^_^;

After my trip, I was still high on Japan, and with nothing better to do at that time, I... just kept playing. Wholehearted Song for me? T1k. BABY AFTERGLOW OMG T100 (I declared on day 1 that I’ll T100 it, so I did). It was also the 4th item on the last row, so again, a perfect opportunity to end the streak there.

But I didn’t. I kept playing again and again and again and again until it’s finally lost all its meaning. I didn’t know what I was keeping the streak for. There’s ultimately no meaning to that many T1k’s, is there? I’ve maximized every area item the game could offer. There was no reason to keep going-

Until we reached Backstage Pass 2.

By sheer coincidence, I started playing the game during its anniversary. My very first title is T10k on Backstage Pass 1. I think Backstage Pass 2 would be a fitting end.

“I played the game for a year, and this is everything I’ve achieved, without paying for a single star. Somebody kiss me. Or give me a medal. Whatever.”

Another T1k for Backstage Pass 2.

And then I got another T1k, during Dance, FULL BLOOMING!, just because I wasn’t sure if this was the anniversary event, or Backstage Pass 2.

------

“Oh shit. It’s Glasses Ran.”

At this point, it’s probably better to just direct you, dear reader (wow you made it here!) to my memories of that event.

It should have ended there.

IT SHOULD HAVE ENDED THERE.

MY HANDS LITERALLY DIED AFTER THAT EVENT. I COULDN’T PLAY 25′S ANYMORE, I WAS STRUGGLING WITH 24′S. I ALREADY RANKED #6, FFS. I KNEW PODIUMS WERE IMPOSSIBLE, SO A T10 IS ALL I COULD EVER HOPE FOR. AND I GOT IT DURING THAT ONE EVENT THEY GAVE RAN GLASSES. THIS WAS IT. IT WAS ALSO THE 4TH ITEM IN MY LAST ROW. FUCK EVERYTHING ELSE.

But the next event was just 6 days long.

“...I can manage that...”

Guess how it went.

------

What started as a story about trying to T1k the story 2′s, in order to get some sort of revenge for missing out on Neo-Aspect, went on as an addiction-induced crusade to collect as many T1k titles as possible.

Sure, some event titles meant something.

But it had to stop somewhere.

Somewhere.

Like a T100 for the Roselia x Re:ZERO collaboration.

By the way, that event marked my 49th straight T1k (even though I got T100, but whatever). 7 (the witches in Re:ZERO) squared is 49! What a coincidence, right?

It’s also just the 3rd item on my last row.

Yeah, yeah, you’ve heard the story before.

So I got my 50th T1k during Santa’s on his way event just to round things off.

For real this time.

------

I’m not good at writing stories, sorry. ^_^; I’m very good at remembering details though. :P

I considered posting this story at the end of my streak, but I thought to myself, there was a chance I’d stupidly continue it anyway. So I waited until the end of this just-concluded event, once I’m sure that there won’t be any last-day shenanigans.

And there wasn’t. I spent my days... well. Not playing Bandori for once, that’s for sure. Legend says I didn’t really become more productive, there might have been some attempts at coup d’etat to ensure I continued my streak, but in the end, the results are here.

I’m free.

^_^

I won’t be completely gone, I’ll make sure to at least get T10k (the lowest possible title) for each event, plus the stamp and the 3* card.

I’ll be back for major events, can’t miss out on those!

Until next time :D
