If you go a few days without doing your tsumego, your pet could become ill or feint. Only extra tsumego would revive him/her/it/whaterver.
Later - to add story - you could do the whole pokemon "gotta catch 'em all" thing where new pets require additional tsumego to level up.
Hmm, maybe I should be making nerdy posts like this on an anonymous account?
Honestly, this could add some motivation to the should-be-daily-tsumego thing. Thumbs up.

Not even a bad idea as a website. Just kind of an incentive to keep up with tsumego. Back to Kirby's 'I have to study' thread, the harder aspects like tsumego would be more fun if you wrapped it in other toys and games.

How about a 3d Go environment like Shotest Shogi, which connects to IGS?

I'd prefer it to be on the VirtualBoy, but the Wii would be fun as well.

Well, I actually hope to work for Nintendo, so that might be a possibility. Perhaps on the 3DS.

Anyone have a rag? I need to wipe up a lot of drool off the floor.
