I see. It's hard to pass level 15 because it's so hard to accomplish the Castle Goals because I need to win a lot of battles. This seems to be based less on skill in gaining stats, but simply the amount of time or plain experience you have as a player, so I'll just. . . well, blog until enough time has passed for this, and I can actually do a lot of damage with the Knight Knutt Quests.
Before I make all this, I have to tell you why I'm doing it. So I studied the entrees of memory competitions, basically people who are competing to memorize the largest amount of information possible. Not simply by repetition, but by various memory techniques. (You can look up the site Art of Memory or the Art of Memory wiki for a collection of examples of how this is done.)
So in a way, this is related to the Memory game, where you have to remember as many Marapet characters as possible, to match the cards. It reminds me of the competition around memorizing playing cards, and part of the technique here is that it's easier to remember if there are emotional reactions to each of the cards. As in thinking, what would the Queen of Hearts be like as a person? What is the King of Spades like? Then practicing this with as much detail as possible to imagine some things.
Maybe I'll do other characters outside the game so far for fun, but let's see what I can do.
One character is the Candy Shop owner. Hmm. . . I'll call her Amanda Sugar, because it just seems like that is what she would be called. I imagine when Amanda was young, she had no idea what to do with her life. She was average in everything with grades, yet she always remember enjoying the sweets her mother gave her growing up, before she passed away. When she grew up, she was filled with anxiety, because she didn't want to grow up. She passed the time with average desk jobs, but somehow she found that she could live out her childhood and the memories of her mother by starting a candy shop instead. So everyone will remember not just sweet candy, but the sweet memories of childhood.
The next one is the Chocolate Shop owner. Let's say. . . his birth name was Thomas Spike, but everyone calls him Spiky Tom, so there's that. He was the type of kid who couldn't stay in his seat. He'd always run around, and so his parents sent him to the therapist. They said he was failing everything. Math, science, history, geography, language, everything. His therapist asked. . . w
