erosan Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 House Baratheon"Ours is the fury!" Fellow family members of the noble house Baratheon, we face dire contest from house Stark, Lannister and Targaryen, but what else is new? We will prevail, we will show them who is fit to rule and who should learn their place below us. And thus, I call ye to this table so we can plan their demise and our victory. Let's use this forum to support each other and mop the ground with the opposition on the mini challenges!

The die has been cast. Attack (pushups) and defend (planks) to your heart's content. Keep track of progress here! Points to earn:Most pushups:100 pts Most time planking:100 pts And apparently several bonus rounds:??? ptsChallenge 5: Sitting on swordsThe throne is almost ours... can you feel it? We need to be ready to sit in it with style. So, let's do some wall sit ups. Final tally here!

Points earned:Most army crawls:1st place:100 pts Challenge 3: Time to stretchAfter the hunt went a little overboard, the other houses are calling for some rest. Like a truce between houses has ever stuck around for long. Claim the feats in the list by posting a pic of you doing the pose, in this amicable game of one-upsmanship that is not prone to become a bloody battlefield of betrayal and conspiracy. Seriously, that never happens around here.Final tally here! Oh, and you can only claim 5 poses per day. Points earned:Most poses claimed:3rd place: 50 pts Challenge 2: The HuntYour king commands a feast to celebrate the jousting victory! That means we are going hunting.

Go support your house, and your sister in arms. There is a PVP thread and a bet too.(The Stark house won this PVP) Challenge 1: Joust!Fools! they think they can beat us in a simple jousting competition!

tundralily Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Tundralily has answered the call! (This is a brilliant idea. I'm in!) I'm off to bed soon but will wake up early to get some KM in before work! 2 Quote Level: 8 Race: Wood Elf Class: Ranger at Heart - Training with the Adventurers Current Adventure: A New HopePast Challenges: 1st ✲ 2nd ✲ 3rd ✲ 4th ✲ 5th ✲ 6th ✲ 7th ✲ 8th ✲ 9th“I am and always will be the optimist.

erosan Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Awesome! I've added a link to your current adventure's lastest post in the members section. Let's hope everyone joins in on the fun. We can still talk smack with the other houses on the main mini thread, but in here we can organize pvp competitions to get us to win: We did something similar last challenge... starsapart was constantly poking people asking stuff like "I'll match anyone who will do 50 archers" or "I'm doing x planks every hour on the hour, who's in"... I was thinking we could so something like that between us and secure victory for our house. 2 Quote "Unfocused" Wizard // Rationalist of the order of Bayes Lvl 5 Assassin.

Plitog Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Count me in! I do the most walking during the week while taking breaks at work, but I'll try to get some extra distance this weekend.

Jett Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 A thread is a great idea! Quick question: are spoilers for GoT allowed or not? Because I've seen through Season 4, and I have some gifs/jokes that I could make for fun, but I don't want to spoil things for people who are behind. EDIT: Oh! We're almost to 1000! Better go lunge up and down my hall for a bit. I'm seriously lunging my way around the apartment to get glasses of water and stuff. xD 2 Quote Current Challenge | Daily Log Link to comment
Solstice Tiger Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Aw yeah, Baratheon! I'm going to have to pace around the office a lot at work tomorrow to get in more steps...WE MUST OUTPACE THE ENEMY. I'll be running this weekend, but a little extra can only help! Personally, I've read all the books and don't mind show spoilers. 1 Quote Level 5 Human AssassinCurrent Challenge: xPrevious Challenges: 4 3 2 1 "Iron Man's got a suit, and the Hulk's pretty strong.

seth.e.shaw Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 "You have my sword..."Unfortunately swords are the wrong weapon for the first challenge. My horsepower is limited due to some hip issues (waking is fine but running isn't until I can get this sorted, hopefully soon) but it can handle the pointy lunges fine. I will be sure to score some for the group tomorrow. 1 Quote L2 Dwarf Assassin (w/ Druidic tendencies)Current challenge: Seeking rest, focus, and peace of mind.Previous challenges: Respawn, Time to get mobile, & Building assassin necessities Link to comment

GillyNomad Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 awesome idea to have our own thread! We are doing well so far! I don't watch GoT and have no intention so spoilers are cool with me... Quote Where can you find me?: My Twitter / My Blog Link to comment
tundralily Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Also, spoilers are fine with me. I gave up reading halfway through the 4th book and find the show too violent for my taste. No intention of picking it up again!

erosan Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I started the book 1 yesterday… then had a goldfish smoment, got distracted and wound up reading Harry Potter and the Method of Rationality (so far sooooo good, lol)…spoilers are fine with me, by the time I read them books, I will have forgotten anything posted here… even if that happens tomorrow. my memory is that bad Quote "Unfocused" Wizard // Rationalist of the order of Bayes Lvl 5 Assassin.

Waanie Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Good idea to have our own thread . I don't mind spoilers, I was not planning to read the books or watch the series .I'm struggling with always having "heavy legs" at the moment, and I want to do not much more than I usually do to not spoil the results my doctor will see. So my number of lunges will be low, but there is no reason to not invite my boyfriend for a long walk tomorrow . Quote Link to comment
erosan Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 That's a great idea! I'm committing to 20 lunges on the hour, every hour tomorrow. Sure, I'm down with this. Don't know if I'll make it through the day, but I can certainly try. Go Baratheon! We'll punch a hole on their armor with our lance. 2 Quote "Unfocused" Wizard // Rationalist of the order of Bayes Lvl 5 Assassin.

Talvi Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 House Baratheon is off to a good start!!! I don't mind spoilers. I read 2 or 3 books, but like Tundralily, I didn't like the violence and nastiness. Secretly want someone to tell me whats happened since I stopped readnig though Quote Level 11 Morgana Scout STR 14|DEX 11|STA 31|CON 11|WIS 23|CHA 19 Current challenge: Talvi makes tactical decisions | Epic quests: 2015, 2016 | Running instalog: new_tracks_to_follow | Previous challenges: -2 -1 etc...

BellaDonna Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 What a great idea! I don't overly follow GOT, have read the first books and watched a few seasons, but GO BARATHEON!

SpiralGalaxy Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thanks for setting up the thread! I added lunges to my workout this morning, so 40 more there. Spoilers are fine for me! I bailed out of GoT halfway through book 3--I'm a book reviewer as a hobby, and I just don't have time for the door stoppers these days. Also, advancing 50 different plots by microscopic increments each scene is really bad pacing for me. But I love GRRM and appreciate what he's doing. 1 Quote SpiralGalaxy, Level 9 Halfling Elf AssassinSTR 17|DEX 13|STA 20|CON 13|WIS 21|CHA 15Electromagnetics Engineer, Freelance sci-fi critic in Maryland"I'm not telling you it's going to be easy, I'm telling you it's going to be worth it."

GillyNomad Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Looks like Targaryen is going to be...an annoyance with the lunges. I added 100 this morning and plan to do some more when I'm home from work. Catching up Stark for first place in distance too! 2 Quote Where can you find me?: My Twitter / My Blog Link to comment

Solstice Tiger Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Can't guarantee I'll remember to do lunges every hour...But I'll try! It's also super rainy today so I can't walk around outside my building at lunch...but I CAN pace the floor I eat lunch on. And I can pace the movie theater tonight before the movie begins.... so much pacing in my future!
