Speed Run Day 1
#1

Well, we are here on Day 1 of the Speed Run to 200 Million. Part of this depends how fast my stuff gets graded, but right now I think once I get everything deposited I'll be above 100 million. I'm at 82.38 right now, so once all my jobs and media gets paid it should be easy especially with double media week having just happened. The casino will be withdrawing 4 million because I can't resist the House of the Rising Sun, but I've definitely made up for that by now. I have All Star Committee and IIHF Federation Head pay incoming, as well as pay for fantasy if my group ever finishes (couldn't resist throwing that shot in).

The idea was floating around in my head last week, that's what my little game about typing to 2000 words as fast as possible was. And being able to do it under half an hour I decided this would not be so bad at all. Graphics pay too should hopefully be generous, I put a lot of time into my latest signature and will try to make 3 more before Sunday. I keep getting railed about layers and blending every time I make a sig, I like my sigs to be honest and the meaning of that criticism has always been a bit lost on me, but with some pointers from my teammates I think I've improved my craft.

If I can write 1000 words a day, I can get 7 million a week which would get me to 200 million in 3 months. That's too slow in my eyes, I want to do it within the span of a single season. But I definitely think I can do more than that writing-wise, 1000 should just be the baseline if I'm super busy. I'll have to think outside the box with article ideas, so maybe a speed run update series and some personal articles that aren't as directly hockey related as my usual stuff. But I never really developed my character as a character so I think that would be totally fine. Just learn some random stuff about Ola, why not?

If I haven't reached 200 by the next double media week, that calls for a massive article. Imagine if I can get 15K words in a double media article. That's 30 million, plus any bonuses. By the way graders, if you want to see a record fast you can always give me very generous bonuses, it'll be our little secret Wink it's at your discretion after all. Who would rat on you if you threw in say a 20 million bonus? Just a small loan of a million dollars if you know what I mean.

I'm not quite sure where to stop the speed run but I'll decide eventually, I might have to adjust my original loftiest goals. The idea of being a billionaire might be too extreme, I'm thinking 500 million might be a little more reasonable. It just is less work and would still smash the record, although I like hearing the words billionaire after my name. We'll see how fast this initial speed run goes before we set any official boundaries and goals.

I appreciate the thread support and the info people have given me about my task. Apparently Eggy peaked around 275 million and Kit also had above 200, so to get the record I certainly have to pass 200 and get to 300 after that. Nobody has exact figures but it's alright, when I'm way past that point everyone will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the record is mine and mine alone. This is something we should track in the SHL history forum, I don't know why nobody has thought to make a leaderboard for that for easy accessibility. I don't know how fast I have to go for it to be considered a speed run but I'm calling that regardless of what the term officially refers to. I'm thinking it might be possible to do it within a few weeks but again that all depends on how fast everything is graded.

At any rate, I'm sure glad it's the weekend and it's a Saturday, this week was a drag and wouldn't have been a good time to start a speed run. Now, I have plenty of time to work and wait for NHL hockey to be back on. No PTs for SHL to work on either, so nothing else really to do on the site anyways. Opening day for the Lightning is next week, October 3, so maybe I can find a way to tie the NHL into the SHL universe. Might be a bit of a stretch but would make for some easy article material. My player is meant to be like Nikita Kucherov so he is definitely already influenced by real life hockey. And there's a team called the Winnipeg Jets so clearly the SHL GMs are aware of the NHL's existence, I dare say my player would be able to watch and follow NHL hockey.

So I think that's about all of Day 1 and my summary of it. I can't really think of anything else to add to this article at the moment, even though I'd like my word count to be way higher. Thanks for following the progress of the speed run, I'll try to post regular updates!

I wonder how often this clown comes back on this website and stares at it wondering if he should post something. This is the second time you've decided to come back so my guess is gonna like every other day at least.

You're such a clown.
