Feel free to toin in Go ahead and add your name to the bottom of the list, the GL periodically goes through and alphabetizes it with spreadsheet magic. You can do this challenge pretty much how you want as long as you read the instructions super closely Once you have Maysaf done, you have 3 options- pride lands, wonderland, or deep jungle. Say you choose to do deep jungle- once that is done, you then have access to all the "tier 1" worlds (pridelands, wonderland) AND the countryside on "tier 2" Just make sure you're only working on one at a time, and you finish it before moving on to the next one (the next day) 2 Quote Link to comment

Yes, you can join this mini at any time and work on it at your own pace. Each mini is different though, so be sure to read the rules each time. Just add your name to the end; it'll get moved next time we resort the list. This helps us keep our (sometimes complicated) spreadsheets straight. 1 Quote Anim07734; God of Death in Training Tiefling Assassin and Artificer Maxim 70: Failure is not an option. It is mandatory.

Manarelle Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 So I hate to be pushy but I'm gonna be pushy. I'm assuming this was moved to the current challenge because there are more worlds, and the last set was unlocked a couple days ago.... We can haz new worlds? 5 Quote Manarelle the Level 60 Amazon Assassin Challenges: 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60, Current Link to comment

RULES OF THE GAME: You may only work on one world's Quest at a time. Once you've started a World Quest, you must complete that World Quest before you can travel to another world. You may only perform one world's Quest per day. For Example: If you finish a World Quest on a Monday, you can't start another World Quest until Tuesday. You can only do one quest at a time. Sorry. Oops. That seems to make sense for the theme. I get excited for these Minis and I always miss one important rule. I'll get used to the format and reading through eventually, because I'm going to keep coming back for them. Now, for my course correction: I traveled to Wonderlands first: Wonderlands Goal 300 sec => progress 30 + 30 = 60 sec Friday, 30 + 30 + 30 = 90 sec Saturday, and 30 * 5 = 150 sec this morning. Done here. On to somewhere else. I'm probably not going to finish all the worlds in three weeks with the correct rules as I had initially planned, so I'll have come up with a plan to get the stuff done which I want to do and lines up with my Current Challenge. At least I got some intense workouts in, practicing my Cat Balance, Handstands, and Pullups. My wrists are pretty sore. How did people finish the entire challenge in the first week? 4 Quote Journey to You: Coaching, Mentoring, and Personal Growth World 6 Level 4 | Epic Quest | Toastmasters: Where Leaders are Made | Institute for Jedi Realist Studies | Extra Life 2021 | YouTube Channel | Epic Nerd Camp "No. Try not.

tourennatrix Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Hah, First thought: A style of dance I haven't tried before? Geeze, that's going to be obscure. (We learned lots of styles of dance in my gym classes growing up). rereads: Oh, new routine. That makes more sense. Second thought: I want to learn a maculele routine! Third thought: Oh. right. Maculele really isn't choreographed is it?... hm... That being said, I highly suggest people who haven't already should try bellydancing! Loads of fun, great workout, makes you feel extra schmexy even when you're not doing it perfectly. The stuff on the other side of the link is maybe not the best belllydancing out there (I'd love to see some bellydancing done by people who are not super skinny), but it's a set of videos I have experience with and so I can recommend them I might try the intermediate one if I can find my dvd of it... 2 Quote Link to comment

Previous PR was 13, so awesome. 140 though will take about 7 sessions as I can usually only manage 20 a workout. If I do them first and last, I might be able to double that. Today, I travel to the Deep Jungle World. After a nice stretch, I started pull ups going for PR first for the Ranger Mini. I made 16! Could not believe it. I hit 14 and thought I was done, but I push through 1, then went for another. I was done and didn't have time to think about another before my hands let go of the bar. Phew. I followed it up with a set of 5, then came back 15 min later and knocked out 10, 5, 5, which is my regular routine. Total is 41 for today. A long way to go through the jungle. 1 Quote Journey to You: Coaching, Mentoring, and Personal Growth World 6 Level 4 | Epic Quest | Toastmasters: Where Leaders are Made | Institute for Jedi Realist Studies | Extra Life 2021 | YouTube Channel | Epic Nerd Camp "No. Try not.

Snickie Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 *twerks to the "Bellydancer" stand tune that just repeats the same four measures ad infinitum* I might take the opportunity to learn a new swing dance solo routine. I know Shim Sham, I've done Shangri-La Bounce but am not very good at it, of course Charleston, .... there was another one that I can't remember what it was called but we did it to Chant of the Groove and it started with Falling Off a Log and had Shoe Shines in it too.

dancezwithkittehz Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 I decided for this challenge round to tackle the Countryside first since I was so good at avoiding it last time! I decided walking meditations are a better fit for me than sitting around type meditations and woot woot got about halfway to done with this. I shall do one to two more lunch time walking meditation days and check this one of the list Also... WOOOT DANCING QUEST!!!!! I do lots of dancing ALL THE DANCING so narrowing down to one specific routine thing to learn will be hard. For a self challenge I will try to pick something in an area I don't regularly take classes in....maybe tap? I am terrible at tap and have been wanting to try it again!! Belly dance could be cool too though as I have only dabbled in that once several years ago!! 3 Quote Assassin extraordinaire!!

tourennatrix Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 I am officially curious about what creative things people are going to come up with for the coliseum :3 I don't get to do that one myself due to restrictions on the prereq Deep Jungle, but it lools like loads of fun! Since I haven't started dancing, i wonder if I'll be able to crank out the 100 acre woods on one swoop tomorrow? Quote Link to comment
Snickie Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 I specialize in carrying too many things at once and having to open doors (pull not push!) with a twisty knob (none of those handles where I could cheat and just use my elbow). If I had done Deep Jungle and Countryside instead of Wonderland, I would just do this on Thursday when I walk from the student lounge to my studio professor's office for my clarinet lesson and then try to come up with an excuse for why I'm carrying around my A clarinet when I'm not currently playing anything on it for lessons. (I do sometimes practice scales on it, just to mix things up a bit and to throw off my ears so that I have to actually concentrate on my fingers but I digress.) Or, if it had to be one heavy item, I guess I could parade my glider in circles around the living room. But alas, I still have 8m (!) of headstand to complete. 2 Quote Snickie | Level 25 Female Human Assassin-ish | Level ??? | tall skinny female stick figure STR med | AGI low | DEX high | CON med | WIS ??? | CHA ???
