This is unrelated, but just getting started with NF and popping around the forums and HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS ARE DOING A FITNESS BASED ROLEPLAY STEAMPUNK PIRATE AIRSHIP BATTLE.

 

Whoever came up with that idea deserves a huge round of applause and maaaaaaybe has me the most excited about fitness as I have been in years. Well done, you guys! That is ridiculous and awesome in every way possible.

 

I do what I can.  ;)

There was this amazing cover of Nirvana's Come as you Are - and I just HAD to find it.   

 

I had to find that cover after you mentioned it, and it was absolutely worth my time in doing so.  Thank you, @Starpuck!

Hey this is a random thing, but I just found out that NF Camp this year is in Clayton, GA. I don't know if I can go, but if any Rangers are coming into Atlanta (nearest big city) on their way to camp and need a place to crash the night before you go up to camp or the night after before you fly home, I have a guest room and plenty of space, so mi casa es su casa. I'll mention it again before camp.

Wish this happy coincidence could have worked out for me, but alas, I'm for an early arrival and hotel room until the shuttles arrive on Camp day.  Definitely pass on the info to others when the date approaches closer!

I just hit my first timing goal for trail running.  I still won't be where I want to be in time for my Tough Mudder run next month, but I feel like I am finally making progress.

Hi all! I'm a new Ranger, and I'm stoked to get involved in the quests and level up! But I'm really confused about what exactly the 4 week quests are? Is there a set quest, or do I make up my own quest? And then I saw the mini-quests, how do I get involved in those? 

 

Thanks!

-Val

 

Heyoo, friend! Welcome to the Rebellion! :D Since you're new, the recommended course of action is to head to the Rebel forum to begin your Four Week Challenge (which I believe begins on the fourteenth of this month, but you might want to check with someone else) There, you indeed make up your own Challenge- there is a thread somewhere with recommended quests if you'd like some ideas, but in the main it's entirely up to you what your Goals are.

 

After completing your first Challenge with the Rebels, you can either choose a Guild or opt to stay with the Rebels- again, entirely up to you. (Though we Rangers would love to have you ;) ) As for the Mini Challenges, each Guild typically hosts a Mini during every Four Week Challenge period, which you would sign up for at the beginning. These usually consist of Side Quests you can do alongside your Challenge, though the exact set-up varies between each one. They're always great fun, though, no matter the specifics.

 

Somebody else will probably come along to explain it better, but hopefully this covers the basics. Again, most hearty welcome to you! ^_^

Rangers, week 4 is upon us. We have one week left to finish our challenges. One week left to decide if we will succeed or fail. One week left to choose effort or ease. One week left to decide what we will do. What will you do, when life gets busy and demands on your time make a workout seem troublesome? What will you do, when your emotions run high and the quickest fix seems to be something to eat that isn't good for you? What will you do when Darth Real life tries everything to derail your fitness and your growth?

 

I've gotten to know you, and I'll tell you what you're going to do. When life gets busy you will FIND a way to work out. When emotions run high you WILL NOT give in to temptation. When Darth Real life attacks you will STAND YOUR GROUND and FIGHT! You are amazing, you are powerful, you are strong, you are fast and you will not give in. You stand at the edge of victory and the only way to lose it is to lie down and give up. You will not give up, you will not give in. You will fight with every ounce of strength you have.

 

And you will not do it alone.

 

Together we are stronger than time constraints. Together we are more powerful than temptation. Together we will defeat Darth Real life.

 

Week four stands ready to try and destroy us.

Let's stand together and inform it of it's demise.

If your neighborhood isn't full, I would totally like to sign up to be possibly eaten by zombies.

 

If the neighborhood is already full, I'll just imagine I'm the snooty lady living in the gated community (BIG WALL) down the road a bit feeling smugly superior. Surely they couldn't get me here...

Still need volunteers?

 

Just be sure to tag me, @doctorake, i tend to fall off the earth for a couple of days the last few weeks, so this thing will work out both ways ;)
