The Courtyard (Monk's General Chat Thread)

[RisenPhoenix]

New Challenge, and Purdy new Courtyard.

 

You're all allowed to talk about whatever you want in here.

 

Except for SevenFootGeek.  Because he's an impatient jerkface.

[SevenFootGeek]

THERE ARE NERDS WITH SWORDS THAT NEED TO COME HERE!  A POX ON YOUR IMPUDENCE!

[SevenFootGeek]

Monks, your assistance is needed!  I cannot remember and cannot find the awesome monk who trains Jedi lightsabre forms.  There is a level 1 Rebel who is looking into his local Jedi sparring group and it simply cannot be borne that these two people are not brought together.  

 

So, find PolishRifle and our unnamed monk!  More monks is more awesome!

Ormac.

 

I shot him a message.

Also, best be wary.  People who harass Guild Leaders to put up Courtyards and ask for help with Level oners have been known to be thrown into leadershipy positions....

 

Or so I've been told.

You don't scare me.

 

You harassed Kishi constantly.  You deserve it.

[RisenPhoenix]

Oi! I only harassed him after I had done 7-8 challenges and had been around for a long while!  You know how long it took me to build myself up to that harassment, buddy?!

bzzzz bzzz bzzz bzzzz

 

That's all I hear.

[SevenFootGeek]

We have a definite slant towards eastern martial arts.  But fencing and HEMA (and probably more that I'm unaware of) are totally in our bailiwick, too.  There is a fine level 1 Rebel by the name of Jbwraith learning fencing from the son of a WW2 cavalryman, which is pretty darned amazing if you ask me.

[Oramac]

Message received!  Y'all are quick.  I hadn't even realized the new Challenge subforum had been created yet!

TPLA actually has one of the Masters who's discipline is Fencing.  I'll hop on over and say hi! 

[SevenFootGeek]

We're busy little bees over here, Oramac.  Some of us have the terror of meetups to discharge.

[SevenFootGeek]

I swear this is the last one today and I'll finish my own challenge.

 

A young jiu jitsu practitioner has started in the level 1 Rebels.  He goes by viki and he has a challenge near and dear to my own heart.  Trying to do more push-ups is a noble goal and one I encourage heartily.  

[RisenPhoenix]

Suuuuure.

 

You're feeding my plot ideas for you, just so you know.

[SevenFootGeek]

If we're short a Guild Leader after the 16th, I swear I had nothing to do with it.

[Thrillho]

So I was going to make this challenge all about diet and cardio, and slowly working my way up to 45 minutes on high resistance on the fancy ellipticals they have at UNBC.   But then this morning I bashed out 45 minutes on high resistance, so... I'm there already. Time to re-tool my goals and think of a challenge theme and... stuff. 

[QuothTheDragon]

We wouldn't be short a guild leader...Cheechoe and Kishi would just have to elevate whoever took out the GL into their former role.

Don't even...

It is a bit like Highlander.  Kill one and gain his power.

 

*sage nod*

SFGL.

[SevenFootGeek]

SFGL.

 

Where the hell is Kishi?  He'd be able to talk some sense into you crazy people.

[Lou_be_Lou]

Sense?  Who wants sense?

[RisenPhoenix]

[Thrillho]

Mad? 

 

Us?

 

You?

 

Me?

 

Mad?

 

[Oramac]

We're definitely all mad around here.  

 

So I'm debating on whether or not to even participate in this challenge.  The goals I've written up for myself are easily the hardest goals I've ever set forth, and only one is even fitness related!  Not to mention I'm feeling a little burned out right now, and on top of that I'm going on a trip next week for the entire first week of the challenge.  

 

I know on the one hand I'm just making excuses, especially since the goals I set are going to be my next challenge no matter when I do it, but I still kinda feel like I need a break too.  

[ladylydia]

Wow, this thread went up really fast.
