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.
