Strawberry Squatcake Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 If your primary goals are strength, I'd go with warrior class. I think it's fine to have goals in other guilds -- it's not like warriors don't also need to have good endurance for long marches.Nope, Ranger does not = CrossFit. CrossFit = Ranger though. Ranger is simply the mix of warrior and scout.Kelly, I don't think ranger neccessarily =crossfit, at least I hope it doesn't... I see it as more of a crosstraining/ multi-interest thing.Thanks to everyone for the feedback. Apparently I need to be whichever race is indecisive. I think that's the real issue. Sigh. I'll set my goals and see if that helps? I'll think about it and make a final decision tomorrow. Thanks again!

Mnemneth Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Whew! This is exciting... My first challenge and it's all race/profession based. It's like building a Skyrim character. (Squee!) Hope I don't get it too messed up though. Since I'm super new, I've really just been worried about eating right and losing weight, but have been doing body weight resistance as my workouts, so I guess Assassin is my niche? I'm going to go write this all out and get it figured out!

I evenutally want to go into Warrior guild so starting off with all the the other n00bs will be better. We can do this!

Maggie May Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Sounds like fun!! I kind of had to read the first few posts a couple times over...I do have one question - You say "you get 15 points to start" - so we give ourselves 15 points based on where we are now? Then add to those points at the end of the challenge? Or what? Guess I'm a little lost on that part. Thanks Link to comment

Then you assign points to your goals and go after it! lobro's a druid? twitter | fb Link to comment
Maggie May Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Oh okay, so I give (prospective) points to my goals NOW? And then award them to myself if I complete it (or fractions of it depending on how I do, per spezzy's explanation)? ORRR do I just wait til the challenge is over and then give points based on how I do? Link to comment

ORRR do I just wait til the challenge is over and then give points based on how I do?You have 15 total points for your stats NOW.You assign 15 points among you goals that you achieve LATER. Depending on how you grade yourself, depends on how much of those points you actually earn.Click my challenge in my link... might make more sense to see it. lobro's a druid? twitter | fb Link to comment

mandy75 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 I do not understand the point system , numbers confuse me that's the pretty much the part I'm hung up on to. Spezzy did add that we don't have to the attributes part. 1 Rep Max Deadlift-180lbs1 Rep Max Clean and Jerk-90lbs1 Rep Max Push Press-70lbs1 Rep Max Back Squat-135lbs1 Rep Strict Press-65lbsFitocracy2 weeks till Hawaii Link to comment
UncleTone Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 I do not understand the point system , numbers confuse me Hey Gem. You get 15 points to distribute between the attributes to say where you are right now.Then you get another 15 points to distribute between your goals so that you can earn them if you complete your goals. Let's say you have a goal to run 5k by the end of the challenge. You could attribute 3 stamina and 2 dexterity and if you reach that goal you get to add those points to your total attributes. I made a spreadsheet to make it easier for me to fill out. Here it is, maybe it will helphttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Arpi14gcWvgjdFpoR1Zsc0lxQlVQN3F1clp0bHBlU1E#gid=0If you need more help feel free to PM me.

Fogo Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 This sounds awesome! I haven't done a challenge for a while, so this is the perfect way to get started again.

unicornassassin Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 This is going to be great! I have a really good feeling about this challenge.ETA It is very lonely in the Druid's circle. Well, I guess it's a line, really, since it's just me and Spezzy since she's the guild leader.... ha.

However, on the other hand, that might be a good idea. Not sure of the logistics of it, though.On the third hand it would be awesome to be the only druid, and win... mwah ha ha!!!!
