Scarlet Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Hello rebels! First of all, wow. This place. This system. It's all so wow. So glad I found this place. It's literally everything I have ever dreamed of. I don't want to go into a lot of detail here but I have some perhaps unusual goals that are very close to my heart. After a lifetime of trying (and failing) to live up to the standards of some pretty villainous and dastardly people, I recently broke free of the psychological chains that bound me and have been slowly but surely gaining control of my own life. I am actually pretty happy with my weight and how I look. I am not trying to lose weight, as a primary goal. I struggled with it before, but I ain't got time for self doubt anymore. What I've realized through various hardships is that I am strong, smart, and fierce...on the inside. And what I want more than anything is for the outside to match the inside. I want to be strong and vital and nimble and fast, because that's how I feel internally. I'm also a hobbit. I know this about myself. I love my home more than any other place, and I want to be surrounded by stacks of books and a variety of clever little objects that make me happy, and I want to work the earth and sing loudly and throw INCREDIBLE parties. I am accommodating and hospitable but have strong boundaries. But like some of the hobbits we know and love, I long for adventure. Or at least, I am too curious to turn it away when the opportunity arises. Another thing about hobbits? High constitution. I've got two kids who need me healthy and strong for a long time. Not thin, not sexy. Strong. High max HP is what I'm after. I love to run, although I'm truly terrible at it, and I like bodyweight exercises and working out in the privacy of my home. I like nature walks and hiking, then planting under a tree to hydrate and read. Nerd stuff, other than the hobbit talk, HP goals, and reading: I'm a gamer 4 lyfe y'all (26 years of nonstop gaming; to think they said it was "just a phase"!). Right now working my way through Persona 5, which is probably already one of my favorite games of all time. I play Magic the Gathering and I could speak for hours about Star Trek. I prefer Marvel over D.C., Star Trek over Star Wars, and I like anime. I'm obsessed with video game music and listen to it while working, driving, and running. Send me links to your favorite Let's Plays and let's nerd out together! 5 Quote Link to comment

Scarlet Posted May 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Done and done! I set it up a couple days ago and only just today learned there was a forum. Thanks for the warm welcome! I do believe I have found my people. Speaking of which, I notice there are forums for the different guilds. I think there's one in particular that I'm interested in but I'm not sure how to join up. Do I just post there? Or wait for the next challenge to open? Quote Link to comment

Challenges don't really have a hard deadline for when to start. You're welcome to still set-up your 4-week challenge for the current one going on! There also really isn't an official way to join a guild. You just need to do the following: 1. Go to Profile > Account Settings 2. In Overview look for Other Settings 3. Go to Edit Profile 4. Select your class from here Then all you need to do is post up a 4-week challenge in your guild. Optionally, you can also introduce yourself in your Guild's Introduction thread 1 Quote Challenge Logs: Current Challenge | Fitocracy Profile | Photo Journal Crab Stats: Level 27 Ranger | Level 35 Fitocract | Level 100 Awesome Link to comment

Guzzi Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Even if you don't post a challenge thread right now you can still hang out in the general chat thread for your guild (in the challenge section).
