Briniel Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Bouncing done in several sets. Push ups skipped (my body just said nope after the first one ) Calf raises done in several sets. My goal was gold but I know I won't get there. BUT: On 30.3.2016 at 5:03 PM, Briniel said: I already know I won't be able to do all of these with EC, but I'll try for as many as I can. Actually, anything above 30 points will be considered a win So, I WIN!!! 3 Quote "The way you spend your days is the way you live your life" Challenges: Current | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 Link to comment

I hesitated to allow variations in the first place, but I know a lot of people struggle with pushups and I didn't want to be a jerk about it. Since you feel the same way, I'll just add "no variations" to the challenge guidelines from now on. Don't worry, I doubt you'd have come across as being a jerk about it. Me trying to make myself feel better about not being able to do the prescribed dare kinda needs to stay my problem, rather than asking for exceptions to be made. Like Briniel said, it's the challenge that makes it so appealing 1 Quote "The old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.

NeverThatBored Posted April 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I'm pretty sure the challenge goes until 4/30. At least that's what it says in this announcement.

Jarric Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Calf raises done with EC. My arse started to tingle half way through this; it that supposed to happen? That will probably be my last one on this challenge (unless I unexpectedly have free time) as I'm going away tomorrow to go hiking for a couple of days. If I don't catch up with you guys again until after it's over then well done to everyone, and good luck with your final dares! 3 Quote Level 21 Wood Elf Ranger STR: 18 - CON: 22 - CHA: 11 - SAN: 19 - INT: 17 IAgreeWithTank™ "Shit is going down, but I am not." - iatetheyeti Don't say "I don't have enough time", say instead "that's not a priority right now" and see how that makes you feel.

There's been a lot of confusion about the end date of the challenge, and now I understand why! I think the official NF challenge period goes until 4/30. I'm not sure why I put 4/29 in the title instead back when I created this... So, we have two options - 1. Call 4/29 the end of this PVP (I'll post a new one on Monday for anyone who wants to ignore Week 0 of next challenge) - that was the side-to-side lunges 2.

I'll admit I didn't actually register that the title said the 29th, I just made the assumption that it was going on as long as the official challenge period was on for. Happy to go with whichever option people prefer, though I think maybe since the the date is in the title (and evidently everyone else registered this!) that it could be better to say that was the end date.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I was totally planning to go through Sunday (because why is the challenge ending on a Saturday? Weird.) but I don't want to punish anyone who actually paid attention to the date. I'll wait to see what everyone else says before we make a decision. I'm sure some of us will be happy for a reason to skip walk-out pushups.

I'd hazard a guess at keeping it in line with the end of the month, but after puzzling out the rest of the challenge dates (US date format hurts my brain and confuses my numerical issues...), it doesn't seem like they're all that bothered with that further down the line. I scrubbed the point I put on the spreadsheet in the interests of fairness (if folks decide to include today, I'll go put it back again!), and to be honest I'm probably going to continue with them in the pause between challenges.

Geek On Fire Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 I'm happy to go with it ending on the 29th as per the title, and will scrub off my points for the walking push ups now. This was really enjoyable - I found myself constantly checking Darebee to see if the new Daily had come up, and then working out a time to squeeze it in. Also, great work by everyone who participated. I love the positive community here, wish I'd found NF ages ago. Already looking forward to next month's PvP!

So far, it sounds like more people are leaning towards ending on the 29th, so let's just make that official. Let's stop the PVP with those side-to-side lunges and stick with the dates in the title.
