This is kind of a strange idea, but I thought it'd be a good idea nonetheless. It popped into my head the other day when I thought "What if for one month, another member and I stop posting comments and communicate solely through posting images?" Well, through that came this topic, and since it is January, it's a pretty good time to start the challenge. Here's the deal: for one month, I and another member will follow strict rules dictated by a challenge announced at the beginning of the month. There are no awards for completing the challenge, other than the recognition for completing the challenge itself (hey, at the end of the year you can look back and say "Yeah, I did that!"). There will be 12 challenges (because there are 12 months) and in order to qualify for the challenge, you must volunteer.
It's first come first serve, so if you want to take the challenge, be sure to volunteer quickly . I will do every challenge with you (you won't be alone, don't worry). If you don't want to do the challenge, or think that this idea is stupid, don't respond and you will be ignored. You must come to this board everyday (if you can't come to the board a certain day, it's no big deal, just don't avoid the board for weeks at a time) until your challenge is up so that everyone knows you're not trying to avoid your obligation. This may not be for the feint of heart, so make sure you are ready to accept the challenge before you volunteer. The challenge will start as soon as I get a volunteer. The next challenge will be decided by either myself or the person who completes the challenge that precedes it. That way, those who pull through and make it to the end of the month have the opportunity to decide the fate of the next challenger. The next challenge will be decided by myself and no one else (don't worry megamush, I will still use your challenge idea for a later month) because I have a full list of challenges that are all fairly difficult (some of them are pretty tough) and I want to be sure I can use them all. Those who complete the challenge will have their name engraved next to the challenge under the title "Challenge Master" for all the world to see, so if you think that's worth fighting for, come on down! If for any reason you must drop out in the middle of a challenge, tell me and I will replace you with someone else. Just be sure it's for a good reason. I don't want someone taking a challenge then wuss out because they don't want to do it anymore.
1. January Challenge
From January 12 to February first, one member and I will be required to speak like pirates.
Challenge Master: Megamush
2. February Challenge
From February 1st to March 1st, one member and I will only be allowed to post in the Forum Games.
Challenge Master: Glorb
3. March Challenge: This is a tough one and might not have a challenge master. From March 1st to April 1st, you must post 1 facts about yourself and 1 lie about yourself each day in the Pointless topic. I will try and guess which one is fact and which one is fiction. If you trick me, then you recieve a point. You need 15 total points to earn the title, which means you must trick me 50% of the time.
Challenge Master: N/A
Total Points Earned: 2
4(a). April Challenger: From April 1st to May 1st, one member and I will only be allowed to post once a day.
Challenge Master: Mr. Wiggles
4(b). May Challenge: From May 1st to June 1st, one member and I will only be able to use quotes from wikiquote.com to post.
Challenge Master:
5. June Challenge: From June 1st to July 1st, one member and I must brainstorm and post a topic that gets at least 120 replies or 1600 views within a month. We only get 2 chances to make a topic, and one of them must make it to 120 replies by the end of the month. This is the 2nd of the 3 most difficult challenges.
Challenge Master:
6. July Challenge: From July 1st to August 1st, one member must speak in riddle and ryme instead of regular commenting. To win this challenge, the challenger must trick the other forum members. The other forum members will get one chance to guess the riddle (though it doesn't matter who tries to guess). If that member guesses wrong, then the challenger gets a point. The challenger needs 15 points to win. Also, to prevent from earning extra points, the challenger will only be allowed to post once per day in the topic of his/her choice.
Challenge Master:

April Challenge: Mr. Wiggles
May Challenge: luigigalaxy
June Challenge:
July Challenge:
Names on the sign up sheet are pending, which means these guys are not obligated to take the challenge if they don't want to. They can take there name off at any time before the challenge begins, and they can also join back up if they change there mind. If the list is full however, you can't join a challenge until a person on the list quits before the challenge begins. If the list is full, don't ask me to consider you for the next challenge until all three of these challenges are completed.
-
megamush acepts your challenge...
...one question, can there be words in the pic?
-
Yes, but you cannot post words yourself.
Okay, the challenge begins! Megamush and myself will only use images to respond starting now.
-
Huh. I have a huge amount of respect for anyone who can complete this. I imagine it'd take a sort of zen thing not to go crazy from only posting images. Maybe I'll join next month's challenge.

-
This is weird on so many levels... any idea if we could set some kind of record?
P.S. Broken images could spell disaster for communication here! (maybe it's just my comp, but I'm looking at you, megamush's post above me.)
-
megamush linked a picture off of his hard drive. It works for him and anyone else with the exact same directory structure.
-
I am going to become pretty irritated if enormous images start entering Mario Chat.
Just so you know. By the way, megamush didn't even link an image off of his hard drive; there wasn't any extension, nor was it the proper link for something on a hard drive.

Everyone start asking a whole bunch of deep, philosophical questions.

-
Not to rain on your parade (I seem to do that with a lot of people, apparently), but I've got a feeling this challenge will be stopped beyond your control within a short time from now.
-
Mostly because there's only so many image macros on the internet. I predict we'll see a lolcat by the end of tomorrow.

Due to the overwhelming insanity of this contest, I have officially deemed this contest The Worst Contest in the history of the World... Ever.
-
I have to second Koopaslaya. :|
-
Twelve days. I give it twelve days at most.
Because then we'll all be talking about...
...And PL and mm will either give up or be kicking themselves...
-
How about as an added bonus, these guys can only post here? That way it could run its whole course of a month.
-
I agree with the opinion that it's kinda dumb, but I get dibs on the slot for the February challenge.

Amen.

Shouldn't this topic be in Forum Games? How about they can only post there?
megamush loses for 1) attaching pictures, which requires text in the text box (as well as the file name and image size, etc) and 2) at least PaperLuigi finds his own images. Way to not think for yourself or be at all creative.

Okay, look. It's fine that you think that this contest sucks, and I don't have a problem with you telling me that I'm uncreative. But leave megamush out of this, he's the one that volunteered and I had absolutely no idea that he'd receive abuse just for attaching images (it's not against the rules, btw). If people really hate this contest that much, there are three things I can do.
1. Change the challenge to something else.
2. Give up all together.
3. I can stop posting images and leave it all to megamush, but that totally defeats the purpose of the challenge (see purpose below).
If I change the challenge, megamush will still have the opportunity to earn January's title and he will not be penalized for posting words again. Really, I thought this would be fun and had no idea I'd receive a negative reaction. Is there anything wrong with posting images? Does it really hurt anyone that much? My main objective was to bond with some of the members here by having to overcome a challenge for one month, but it looks like I only made things worse.
-
Hey, aww, don't be like that. I certainly don't mind, and I'm definitely going to join the next challenge, assuming it's not too weird. I like this idea, so please don't get rid of it.
Not to sound like a dirty hippy, but c'mon everyone, be nice. It's like when big kids make fun of little kids for playing games; do you really gain anything from bullying short people?
-
Never did I say the words "I think your contest sucks" or "I think you suck" or "I think megamush sucks". I pointing out why megamush failed. I would think for such a creative contest, creativity would be a key factor.
On a side note, don't you think megamush can fight his own battles?
-
Uh, not in his current state. That's like trying to win a presidential debate using charades.
-
Isn't that essentially what most of them are doing anyway?
-

PaperLuigi's short? I also would like to see a presidential debate using only charades.

You're linking to a broken image again, mr. Santana.
-
Never did I say the words "I think your contest sucks"
When you said "Amen", you were agreeing with Koopaslaya when he said that this contest was "the worst contest ever." Unless you totally meant something else, you were basically saying that you thought it sucked.
-
Oh yeah. Well to be honest, contests from the likes of LD and TEM are pretty tough to follow. This one pretty much pales in comparison. But don't let me stop you from doing whatever.
-
I wasn't even trying to imitate LD or TEM! It's not even a contest in the first place! This thing is a challenge, which means that for a set amount of time, another member and I will try and overcome some type of adversity. The contests that LD and TEM make aren't even close to that. When we participate in a contest, we're trying to beat the other members by drawing or writing something (or whatever).
-
What is the problem here? It's just megamush and PL having some fun; if it doesn't concern you, then just quit griping already.
-
Not just megamush and I, but 11 other members over the year.
-
^ Ahhhhh!!! He spoke!
...Uh, well... do people complain every year, then?
-
^ Ahhhhh!!! He spoke!
Dude, I've been speaking for a while now.
-
I wasn't even trying to imitate LD or TEM! It's not even a contest in the first place!
Clam down. I never said you were trying to imitate LD or TEM. Geez.
-
Well to be honest, contests from the likes of LD and TEM are pretty tough to follow.
So what was that supposed to mean? I'm not trying to be rude, though I would like to know.
-
It means LD and TEM produced high-quality contests/competitions and it feels like the recent uprise of contests starting with SolidShroom's Half-Life 2 contest weren't up to snuff. Nothing personal, exactly.
-
PaperLuigi already stated it WASN'T a contest, bobman.
Anyway, I know I'd get very annoyed within a week of only image posting. I mean, the forum doesn't allow images in sigs or avatars (in the "main" skin, anyway) for a reason, so unnecessary/irritating images wouldn't clutter the pages.
Though you're not breaking any rules, I do believe you are crossing some sort of line with this certain challenge.
-
GAH!!!! I'm gone for one weekend and this happens!?!?!? Man....
Well anyways... I think I should make this harder by asking stupid questions to them!
FIRST QUESTION! What's the meaning of life?
-
I have the challenge on hold for a while until I can figure out a new challenge. There will be no more image posting, but megamush will still be able to earn the January title.
Edit: This new challenge is rather simple and shouldn't annoy anyone (it might, but whatever). *ahem* For the rest of the month, megamush and I will be required to talk like a pirate. No, not like a potty mouth pirate, but like a pirate you might see in a cartoon. Starting now. Argh!
-
walk da plank, me matey
-
That sounds like a paradoxical quote.
-
Pirates? Whaddaya got against ninjas, huh?!
-
I think PaperLuigi saw my post and didn't want to have to awnser my stupid questions with pictures. So that's why he started a new one so early :)
Now tell me a pirate joke!
-

Aye, perhaps ye haven't been readin' me recent posts, matey.
-
Nice ideas.
Pirates? Whaddaya got against ninjas, huh?!
NINJAS FOREVER!
-
Ye captain want to see a ninja pick treasture from floor of the 7 seas!
-
What about the fake/real ninja pirates?
-
NINJAS FOREVER!
I make ye walk the plank for sayin' such words!
-
Ninjas have no interest in this petty (and elusive!) concept of treasure.
-
From now on, I will now post like a ninja. If you see my post, you're already dead.
-
wait for the next month's challenge matey!
-
I thought Ninjas didn't say anything except for "battle cries" which apparently if you heard it they already got you.
-
Exactly what Glorb said (except you were less funny and took more letters)!
-
Yeah, how do you talk like a ninja?
Suggestions!
-Talk exclusively in quotes
-Talk exclusively in spoiler tags
-Talk exclusively in Size-2 font
-Talk like a mime
-
A ninja does not reveal the secrets of the mysteries of the way of the ninja.
-
Arr, there be no Ninja allowed in me topic! Or else I make ye walk the board of shame!
-
Basically what you have to do is just say "Believe it!" after 40% of your sentences.
-
Ar, the next month's challenge be posted on the first post of this topic! To any scurvy dog brave enough to take this errand, volunteer the first of February! Unless me first mate megamush has a problem with the challenge, this be the next task, and the prize be buried treasure (or the title "Challenge Master" anyway)!
-
Ah, I can think of many good candidates for that delightful challenge!

Ye first-mate isn't quitn' now captain!
-
I except that challenge! Lots of talk in the pointless topic now!
-
Arr, ye can't except the challenge until February 1st ye scurvy dog!
-
Listen to the captain matey
-
Well, I already called dibs on the February challenge. I will cry for, like, twenty minutes straight if anyone accepts it before me.
-
2. February Challenge
From February 1st to March 1st, me next first mate and I will only be allowed to post in the Forum Games and Stories! A fine challenge for anyone brave enough to tackle it!
Ohhh my. Have fun with Mega Sonic, he has you beaten.
-
Arr, I know...he be the scourge of the seven seas! Or the Forum Games and Stories anyway...
-
Don't forget, it's just Forum Games now. The And Stories is part of Fan Creations now.
Scourge is right. The man has zero posts... And the posts of those zero are all-caps death threats...
-
So we're only allowed to post in Forum Games, or can we also go into Fan Creations?
Also, pirates and ninjas are completely inferior to vikings.
-
Don't forget, it's just Forum Games now. The And Stories is part of Fan Creations now.
Aye, I understand matey. It be a lonely task to be taking, but I'm up for it. I just hope there be another brave soul willing to come aboard.
So we're only allowed to post in Forum Games, or can we also go into Fan Creations?
Just forum games matey. A month in there will likely drive a man to insanity.
-
Arr, a double post be something I ain't proud of, but I need to make it seem like this be new info...which it is. Since a few of ye sea dogs are eager to take on the next challenge (Glorb, ye rotten Ninja) I have decided not to take volunteers at the first of the month, rather I'll be havin' a sign up sheet attached to me first post. If you be interested in taking a challenge, send me parrot...I mean me, a PM and I'll add you to the next months challenge. I'll be havin' 3 months available on the sign up sheet at a time so that if ye ain't the first land lover to sign up, ye will get the next one. If I get more than 3 scurvy dogs to sign up, only the first three will be considered for the next 3 challenges. ARR, that was a mouth full!
The first two to volunteer be Glorb and Linkin800, so they be added to the list. Mr. Wiggles expressed some interest, so he be added to the list as well. The list be full, so don't be asking me to sign you up until one of these three brave men bail (which I hope they don't, or else I'll make them walk the plank of shame and despair! Arrr!)
-
Whoa, boy. A whole month there? That's like living in a closet for a full month. At the end, I'll probably have some gnarly stubble and smell like mothballs and pit-stink.
-
Aye. But I thought ye was a ninja! Ye ain't gonna back down from a challenge like that now, are ye?
-
No way. I'm too manly.
-
I have a little bit of a rule change land lovers. See the first post. I hope/think this be the last rule change I be havin'.
-
me have to agree with the captain, my challenge was not as difficult as you other landlover's challenges!
-
Arr, you be the best first mate I ever had...*sniff*
-
You guys do know that the term is "landlubber" right? I mean, it comes from "land lover" but that's not how it's pronounced.
-
No, as I understand it, "lubber" was an old term that meant someone was a klutz. So, if you're a lubber on land, then you're a total mess at sea.
-
You guys do know that the term is "landlubber" right? I mean, it comes from "land lover" but that's not how it's pronounced.
Arr, I just be pronouncing it the way it should be matey. The pirates that say it before me had terrible grammar and spelling skills!
-
I don't plan to participate, but I have some suggestions for challenges:
- Type backwards.
- Type upside down.
- Only use quotes from http://www.wikiquote.org/
- Posts must be made with x minutes of previous post.
- No Posts; just edited signature.
- Post everyday, but once and only once per day.
- Tango Yankee Papa Echo [space] Echo Victor Echo Romeo Yankee Tango Hotel India November Golf [space] Papa Hotel Oscar November Echo Tango India Charlie Alpha Lima Lima Yankee Dot
-
Arr, thanks Luigison!
-
Or type like this. Everyone loves that, right?
-
Arr, that be more annoying than me image challenge.
Ye best be getting ready Glorb, ye challenge is coming up in a little less than 12 days.
-
I don't know but this dosent look to much like pirate talk to me.
Granted, but nobody notices you and you kill yourself because you need attention
I wish for 3 more wishes
Could this be the end? Stay tuned and find out!
-
I dunno. Letting sentences dangle without a period is very pirate-y, in my opinion. Ninjas, on the other hand, have impeccable grammar and punctuation. That is, before they KILL YOU AND MAKE YOU DEAD!
-
What are you talking about? No one has ever heard a ninja speak.
-
Chup's right: ninjas are reclusive, antisocial and mute-wannabes. Believe it!
-
Naruto kind of turned me off to ninjas, sorry to say.
But I'm not very big on pirates, either.
-
Kage Kara Mamoru probably turned me on to ninjas. That one was hilarious. And cool. And not Naruto.
-
What are you talking about? No one has ever heard a ninja speak.
That's not true. Ninjas only speak when it's totally neccessary, like relaying info to other ninjas or going "Git over herr!!" in a gruff trucker's voice while impaling you on a chain-thingy.
-
All educated people know that ninjas have used Navy Seals hand signals for centuries.
-
I don't know but this dosent look to much like pirate talk to me.
Arr, I sent him a PM asking him about it, I did. I'm not sure what I'm going to do matey, but if he don't change it soon, I might be forced to take the title away.
-
me sorry Captain, me forgot about the challenge that day, don't make me walk the plank matey
-
Oh lord what have I done? I somehow made people fight over Ninja's again! Im just going to say that their can be more then one kind of Ninja and thats all.
-
me sorry Captain, me forgot about the challenge that day, don't make me walk the plank matey
Arr, if ye edit your post that have the normal speakin' in it, I won't do it matey.
-
"Me" replacing "I?" I thought it was talking like a pirate, not a Furby...
-
Arr, walk the plank you landlover
-
So, did pirates carry planks around with them and force people to walk them wherever they went? 'Cause that sounds cool.
-
Arr, we never actually used planks, rather we just threw the rat off the boat. Saves time and energy.
-
Arr, walk the plank you landlover

Yes, you do look much better without the moustahce, I've even forgotten about your hair. =P
Back on topic though, ja, I saw the first Pirates movie, fell asleep during it, never cared to see the other two.
-
Arr, Bird Person be the most fearsome looking pirate I ever lay eyes on!
-
He looks like he's about to lay down some phat rhymez. :\
-
He looks like Hud, with longer hair my god I'm obsessed with that movie.
-
No, he looks much more like a drug dealer, somehow even more so without the seedy mustache. I hope he gets all mad and loses it when he reads this post.
-
Actually, my friend has hair just like that. At least, I think it's him...roughly two years ago he was consumed by the hair and they merged into one lifeform.
-
Heck, my new years resolution was to get something like BP's hair...
-
Glorb's friend is Cousin It?
-
Arrr, January's challenge be coming to a close. Glorb, I think ye best be gettin' ready to spend a month in the Forum Games!
-
Okay. Before I embark on this journey of unimaginable horror which will leave me scarred for life, I'd like to say something.
Something.
Hee.
And also, I've been wondering...how home FG posts don't count towards your post count? Seems like descrimination to moi.
-
I think it's because of the people that posted solely to gain a high post count through the Forum Games, which is ridiculous and means they don't add really benefit the FF community... at least not very much. The FG isn't exactly much of a place for conversation, unless you're talking about a nonsensical conversation.
-
We don't consider those forums worthy to exist, but there has to be a container for it or people will spew it all over the rest of the forum.
-
Glorb, remember this (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=10527.0)? This is partially why.
-
/me boggles at the delusions of grandeur in here
-

Arr, that be why me next challenge be so difficult. It be pure torture.
-
I don't see any thing wrong with your challenge captain.
-
The reason I'm complaining is I'll have nothing to show for my incredibly Hurclean feat of sexiness other than a plaque or something. And plaques are lame.
-
Arr, tomorrow be the last day of me challenge! me fell sorry for the next landlover that takes this "Challenge of Epic Proportions"
-
Arr, all ye have to do is last one more day and you earn the title of January "Challenge Master".
-

lol wut
-
Well, see ya in a month Glorb.
At least you'll be free by the time Brawl hits the US.
-
I'm toying with the idea of not even looking in other boards to add to the challenge. I wonder what the Forums will be like when I get back; since FG is basically a secluded town of nutjobs (no offense), I'll probably have to do some readjustment when I get back.
-
Arr, you know you be one of these "nutjobs"
-
Arr, he will be after the FG be through with 'im!
-
Arr, what be "FG". The next challenger, if the challenge is not completed he should be sent to Davey Joan's Locker!
-
FG=Forum Games
Arr...
-
Sorry, captain me still sorta a noob!
-
The final day of speaking like a pirate-Furby-Shakespeare, eh, megamush? Had fun, did you?
-
January's challenge is finally over and I want to personally thank megamush for taking the challenge and pulling through. You have earned the title "Challenge Master" for the month of January! It was a lot of fun talking like a pirate for 3 weeks, but I'm just glad I can speak normally again. :/
Okay, the next challenge officially begins when I get home from school. Glorb and I must spend one whole month in Forum Games. If you have any last requests or comments, say them before 2:40 p.m. because I won't be able to talk to you through this topic for a month.
EDIT: March challenge revealed! This is a tough one and might not have a Challenge Master.
-
The final day of speaking like a pirate-Furby-Shakespeare, eh, megamush? Had fun, did you?
It was fun, but it has ended
-
Arrgh, glad that's over.

I have an idea for a new challenge, it is that the person who takes the challenge must post only using sound clips, no words in text whatsoever.
-
Say, that doesn't sound like a bad idea. I'd do it, but I would probably just have sound clips with recordings of my voice.
-
Hey hey hey everybody. The challenge is over and I can finally post here again. Congrats Glorb on a job well done!
The next challenge begins at 12:00 PM. Linkin800 will have to post a lie and a truth about himself in the Pointless topic each day for a month. I have to guess which one is true and which one is false. If he tricks me, than he's one step closer to victory. I haver requested that he do it in the pointless topic rather than a PM so that everyone can see it.
The new challenges for May, June and July will be up as soon as I get to them.
EDIT: All right, the new challenges are up! Two of them are pretty tough in my opinion, so come on down and send me a PM if you want to sign up! I only have 3 spots available, so be sure to get to it as soon as possible if you really want to play. BTW, this is one of the only months where I don't really have to post differently than everyone else, so if you see me posting like....well, like everyone else, don't be alarmed.

I wonder if my challenge idea will ever happen?
-
It sounds pretty good actually. I'll probably add it to the August, September and October group.
-
What about not using proper nouns and only descriptions? 'Cause that sounds pretty cool.
-
It sounds pretty good actually. I'll probably add it to the August, September and October group.
But would that mean that the poster could use a microphone and just say what he wanted to say aloud, or would he have to use pre-existing clips?
Also, I see no April challenge; is there any particular reason for that in the 10 pages of this topic that I've missed?
-
I haven't revealed it yet. It'll be up soon, I promise.
-
Can I be the other person for this months challenge, PaperLuigi?
-
Other person? Mr. Wiggles has already signed up for April's challenge. I can add you to one of the other challenges, though.
Also, if Linkin800 does not show up today, that's a point he doesn't get to earn towards his title. If he misses 3 consecutive days, he must forfeit the challenge to someone else.
Nevermind, he showed up.
-
BTW, Linkin800's points are located on the front page to anyone who wants to look. Sorry for the double post, but this is kind of important.
-
Thanks. I will be a spectator for this month (in between playing Brawl,that is.)
-
Well, we're only a few days into the challenge and Linkin800 is off to a bad start. He's missed two days now and out of the 5 days, he's only won a point. I'm not saying this to bash Linkin800, but he'd better get his rear in gear if he wants to win the challenge.
-
get his rear in gear
I'm going to start saying that phrase constantly now.
-
Everyone says it from where I'm from, actually.
-
I hear it a lot here, too. Must be a Southern thing.
-
Concerning the July challenge: it sounds cool. Is a former Challenge Master allowed to enter another challenge?
-
Well, there isn't a rule that says you can't...I don't know. I'll have to think about it.
I fear Linkin800 won't be able to win this month's challenge. I'd rather give someone else a chance rather then just waste it on someone who won't show. Is anyone interested?
-
I'm not so good at lying, so no.
-
Sorry to say this Linkin800, but you're disqualified. I'm not going to waste the challenge on someone who won't show. I sent him a PM saying he could make up the days he lost, but he's missed so many days that it wouldn't be fair to someone who is actually willing to do everything required to earn the title.
Alright, here's the deal: the first person to ask will be the new challenger. They will have 20 days to earn 10 points and all the other rules apply. Since this month's challenge is so screwed up now, the two other Challenge Masters, megamush and Glorb, are allowed to sign up.
-
I might sign up. I'm still allowed to post posts other than the requisite PT post, right?
-
Yup, you can post as much as you want as long as you at least post the required truth/lie in the Pointless topic (or you can send me a PM).
-
Sweet. Sign me up, cap'n. I start today, right?
-
You can if you want. I'm ready if you are.
EDIT: You have until March 29 to win, btw. I have to cut it short by a little in order to reach the 20 day limit properly.
-
Oh well I dont really care anyways :/, Ive been up north for about a week and then I got brawl and forgot all about this lol...
-
No problem man, you can still do another challenge if you want. Darn, I didn't know you were up north. :/
-
Needless to say, there will not be a challenge master for the month of March. Mr. Wiggles is signed up for April, but he hasn't actually told me that he wants to do it. There are 7 days until April, and everyone can sign up if they wish. But Wiggles has first dibs if he ever comes to me and asks to be the challenger. The actual challenge will be revealed soon.
-
I wish I could've finished the March challenge; I really wanted to. I mean, now I'm only, like, a challenge master and a quarter.
-
5. June Challenge: From June 1st to July 1st, one member and I must brainstorm and post a topic that gets at least 120 replies or 1600 views within a month. We only get 2 chances to make a topic, and one of them must make it to 120 replies by the end of the month. This is the 2nd of the 3 most difficult challenges.
Easy. Make a topic about seXXX.
-
I'd imagine they would try to make a topic that actually obeys the rules.
...not to mention that's completely uncreative.
-
Easy. Make a topic about seXXX.
No.
-
Hey it's a joke, you said you wanted a topic that would get a lot of attn. I'm actually quite aware that this is a Mario forum.
-
Hey it's a joke, you said you wanted a topic that would get a lot of attn. I'm actually quite aware that this is a Mario forum.
that topic will just be either:
1.locked
2.or deleted
And you might get banned.
-

Only a fool would make a topic about sex to get attention.
-
Can I sign up for the June challenge, I want to try it (since my challenge was too easy)
-
No, I don't think so. The only reason Glorb got a second chance was because Linkin800 didn't show and I needed a quick challenger.
EDIT: The new Challenge for April is up. Special thanks goes to Luigison for this idea.
-

Wow, man, it was just a jokey comment. Had I made the joke, it would've been much longer, and more graphic, and had more pictures.
-
I wasn't really calling him a fool, I'm just saying that if it was a joke, it's not funny because the real deal isn't funny either.
-
*Zipper noise*
-
Well, there isn't a rule that says you can't...I don't know. I'll have to think about it.
if you said that then why can't I sign up?
-
I don't know, because if I let you enter another challenge, that takes away someone else's opportunity. You can't sign up and that's that. I only let Glorb do it because I was really desperate at the time.
The challenge looks like it's in for some rough times anyway. I haven't seen Wiggles for days and I only have luigigalaxy signed up for the upcoming challenges. If things get really bad, I'll consider letting you sign up for another challenge.
-
Sorry. I've been busy playing Brawl and enjoying my new Birthday gifts.
I'll take the challenge, but I have a question: Are we supposed to post only once a day, or whenever we post, we have to wait 24 hours to post again? By which I mean not having to consecutively post for days.
-
"I'll consider letting you sign up"
good enough, for now...
-

"Whenever you post, you have to wait 24 hours to post again." That pretty much sums it up. You don't have to be here everyday, just make sure you're here enough to convince me that you deserve the title. This will test how important we think commenting in certain topics is. We have to choose wisely, because we won't get to comment for another 24 hours afterwards.

I wonder what happened to this thread?

Kinda sucks, since I never even got the message, so I had to see his farewell myself to learn why his topic was buried.

oh, I didn't notice, that does suck. At least he said he will be coming every now and then...
-
Aw, man. This seriously sucks. Without PL, the fabric of this forum will slowly unravel into anarchy.
-
Eh. We haven't had Sapphira in a long time and we seem to be getting along.

Now, that's not an incredibly polite thing to say. Sapphira would set you on fire.
-
Dang! When did this happen? Oh, well... he can at least be an Assist Trophy in the TMK fighter.

who said I'm polite?
also as a side note, when I read that post the song "Disco Inferno" came to mind
