This should be the last time I post in a while, promise. :)  Unless you are enjoying reading these daily, let me know if so.

I'm not stopping daily intentionally (well, it's 2 birds with one stone) but I've come up with what I feel is a good plan for Mato and posting every day would more or less be me just giving general updates. So maybe I'll wait until Sunday evenings.  I'll do Sunday Evenings or when she accomplishes a Goal, whichever comes first.

So here's the plan I've come up with for her (and please feel free to give me additional thoughts to make it more enjoyable and/or entertaining):

BTB - Get 5 or less deaths 3 games in a row.  No other conditions.
BTB - Get 5 or less deaths 3 games in a row, with a positive ka/d.
BTB - Get 5 or less deaths 3 games in a row, with a positive k/d.

At this point if she's doing this somewhat consecutively we may be able to move into normal Team Slayer. It more or less starts over.

Team Slayer - Get 5 or less deaths 3 games in a row. No other conditions.
Team Slayer - Get 5 or less deaths 3 games in a row, positive ka/d.
Team Slayer - Get 5 or less deaths 3 games in a row, positive k/d.

Then these are final missions:

Team Slayer - Double digit kills, single digit deaths 3 games in a row.
Team Slayer - Positive k/d and win 3 games in a row.

And the ultimate goal is for her to end up positive k/d and positive w/l.  but.... haha maybe we'll just push for her starting out Halo 5 a bit more prepared than she currently is.

So I pitch this plan to her last night, and even tell her we're going to save not only the games, but I'm going to record us talking during them (it should be entertaining, I have a tendency to get irritated at some of the decisions she makes)... and she seemed to really get excited about this idea.  So she started trying unofficially last night with a few games before we went to bed.  I was playing some Black Ops 2 campaign in the other room so I didn't see her first games but her last two, well let me say she was trying hard the first game I saw to stay under the 5 mark and she thought she was just at the 5 mark, but then she looked at the end game stats and saw she had 7 deaths. The funny part is she got upset and was saying Halo was wrong haha! I said well we can watch the game back if you want to, and she didn't say anything, I think she secretly wanted to. :)  But the last game she played she was looking pretty good, there was only one moment where I thought she could have gotten away.  She says that she can't run sometimes, but it seems like every time she starts taking major damage, what I think she's doing is deer-in-headlines freezing up.  I did have to tell her to reload 20 times.  But she ended up 3:4 (4:4).  So she met the goal on one game.

She's still at a .35 k/d, no change there.  But since we're going to be reviewing her ka/d - it's .71. Here highest was .74 on February 27th.

So we will keep trying throughout the week and I will give another update on Sunday night or when she accomplishes a goal unless I hear from people they like the daily updates.  As always, Stay Tuned!

I'm still reading, toc. Is wierdly entertaining. Would love to see some gameplay for a good laugh, er, i mean a critique.  :-p

sundays only are cool. You can do a weekly tally of ka/d.

I actually have a video, I had a game where we both did horribly and I was synching the two together.  That's not turning out how I wanted it to so I'm going to just try to upload just her part of it.  I also have a game where she did really good so I'm hoping I can get them both posted up for the same blog entry. Hopefully tonight.
