RED ALERT: Challengers, please check out the Hero's Enclave in the Club section if you haven't already. http://weight-loss.fitness.com/club/45727-heros-enclave.html

Hey there. Do you like competition? Do you derive satisfaction from seeing your name at the top of the lists? Do you want to try something different than the old hum-drum monthly challenge? Then step right up my friend because I just might have something you like ;)

Welcome to the Heroic Mode 90 Day Challenge! Every week you will post your weight and I will grant you "experience points" based on your loss. You can unlock achievements, earn titles, gain perks and increase your reputation! The best part is you don't have to do anything but lose weight :) If you want to participate, just post your weight every monday! It's never too late to join, however. To make it more personable, you can also list your first name, height, hobbies, etc with your post. I realize there are quite a few achievements and perks to read though currently, but remember it is NOT necessary to memorize them in order to participate since I will be doing most of the work. It is completely up to you if you want to read through the perks / achievements list. :) All they do is add a fun dynamic to the challenge. At the end of the 90 days, I will compile a list of your overall ranking, weight loss and achievements and such. Who will be our top hero?!

Overseer Messages (1/30/11)
Please welcome our newest Challenger - Tob! AND grats on the baby!
Added Tob's diary link.

[Caiman] has earned the achievement [Jet-Setter]!
[AnnaGail] has earned the achievement [Dr. Foodlove, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Gym][Big Brother]
[Tob] has earned the achievement [Friendly Face!][Big Brother][Sympathetic Resonance][Jet-Setter][Dr. Foodlove, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Gym] and has gone up one level!


This Week's Quest:
CLASSIC INSPIRATION
This week is about reigniting that drive that we all have when we first begin losing weight. It's quite easy to lose sight of our goals, unfortunately. But if we are to be successful, it is important that we take the time to hit rewind.

quest objectives:
--list at least two reasons why you wanted to lose weigh to begin with.
--go to the Before and After Forum and comment on a particularly inspirational thread
--infiltrate Cohen's Cult...and read and/or contribute to the following thread:
http://weight-loss.fitness.com/cohens-lifestyle/33533-motivational-sayings-affirmations.html
--make a note of the most motivational pictures / sayings you can find. And refer back to them throughout the week if you begin to feel down.

Quest rewards:
10g / self motivation (hopefully!)
[x] I have completed [Classic Inspiration]

Overview and Achievments

I. Game Overview:
Please note: this is my first attempt at doing something like this. There are bound to be bugs in this game. Please let me know of any feedback or criticisms you may have.

EXP: For every 2 lbs you lose you will go up one level! As you go up in levels or unlock perks, you will earn a title next to your name ranging from (for ex.) Daybehavior < the Apprentice> (level 3) to Mr. Love < the Challenge Slayer > (Level 16). However, you may gain new or unique titles through achievements and perks as well.

Things you do in real life and on the forums may have a pleasant impact in this challenge! So try be kind especially since its the beginning of the new year. For example: Welcome four or more newbies in the Newcomers forum and you will earn the achievement [Big Brother]
and unlock the Perk "Protector of the Damned"

Your act of kindness has not gone unnoticed by the higher powers. You instantly move up one Title level. In addition, you will earn 1.5x experience points for the next week.

II. Achievements: (work in progress)
Many achievements will grant you perks to help you in the challenge. Others will simply be for vanity purposes and/or unlock Meta-Achievements - Gotta collect em all!

III. Perks:
With Perks you can choose to be naughty or nice. If you choose to be naughty and invoke the "darkside" of a perk, you must first PM the Overseer. Either way you choose to play, just remember, Big Brother is always watching and "rewards" behavior both good and bad ;)

Casanova / Cassie Nova - Your slimmer physique has increased your charisma. You may choose to sweet talk two members of the opposite (or same) sex and convince them give you 50% of their experience points for the week. (They do not lose those points). In addition, you will gain 2 reputation points.
Darkside: "My Bloody Valentine" - The holiday stirs dark, repressed memories within you. You go on a killing spree and consequently "murder" two competitors in the process.

Chrono Chaos - You dash ahead of the competition and manipulate the time-space continuum, earning 2.5x EXP for the week.
Darkside: "Time Paradox" - You manipulate time to slow down a competitor's experience gains to 0.5x for the next week and grant them a 1lb disadvantage at the next weigh in. In addition, you gain 1.5x experience and a 1 lb advantage at the weigh in.

Diplomat - From your constant travels on WLF, you learn to feign a European (or American) accent. You can now charm another competitor of the opposite (or same) sex and convince them to share 25% of their experience points with you for the week.

Fast Metabolism - Your rapid weight loss has enabled you to gain 1.5x experience for the next week. In addition, you gain +1 reputation.

Good Vibrations - The karmic angel smiles down on you. You earn one reputation point and earn gold at a rate of 1.5x.

Miss Fortune - Miss Fortune is stalking you and disaster follows you everywhere you go. If you do not defeat the person who put out the hit on you, you will lose two levels and gain a 2lb disadvantage at the next weigh in. If you are successful, Miss Fortune will return to stalk your tormentor instead.

Mysterious Stranger - Just when you feel your luck has run out, a Mysterious Stranger arrives and puts his faith in you, aiding you in battle. While he accompanies you, you gain 4x experience. As he disappears back into the night, you become melancholic and only gain 0.25x exp the next week.

Overseer's Blessing - You love Big Brother and he allows you to add an additional 0.5 to any experience or weight multiplier.

Plus-Size Beatdown - You fly into a fit of rage. You gain 2x experience and earn a 2lb advantage at the next weigh in.
Darkside: Enlist Miss Fortune to take out a competitor. If Miss Fortune is successful, you will gain a 3 lb advantage at the next weigh in and usurp 3 levels from your victim.

Protector of the Damned - Your acts of kindness has not gone unnoticed by the Overseer. You instantly go up one Title level and earn experience at a 1.5x rate.
Darkside: "Demon Demagogue" - You acquire the wicked eloquence of the a 1940's era Populist politician. You mesmerize and disorient three random competitors, convincing them to sit out of the next weigh in and stealing a one pound advantage from each of them.

Resilience - Your remarkable spirit and willpower repels disorientation, negates the experience penalty from Time Paradox, removes the fatigue effect from Victory Rush, reduces melancholy and prevents level losses that may be brought about from Miss Fortune. Resilience lasts for three weeks. If it has not been consumed within that time, you automatically gain two levels.

Russian Roulette - You spin me right round, baby, right round like a record baby. Will you tempt fate?

Soldier of Fortune - if you manage to beat the person(s) you taunted at the weigh in, you will earn gold equal to 25% of the experience points they gained that week. You will always earn a minimum of one gold and this perk is only applicable to to a maximum of two opponents taunted per week.

Starlight Angel - You've gained your own personal guardian angel, armed with a .44 Magnum and deadly accuracy. For the next week you earn experience at a rate of 4x. At the end of the week, the Mysterious Stranger sacrifices himself to defend you from one final ambush. You are then immune to all negative status effects and gain a 3 lb advantage at the weigh in.

Victory Rush - Intoxicated by the thrill of victory on the battlefield, your adrenaline increases and you gain 2x experience for the next week, but if you fall below the top tier you will become fatigued and will gain 0.5x experience the following week. If you place in the top tier, you will be granted 2 reputation points. .
Darkside: "Chrono Calamity" - You unleash Chrono Calamity on two opponents, which doubles the penalties and gains caused by "Time Paradox" and cannot be mitigated by Resilience.

u might need fix to since many of us already have a "European" accent :cool:
or give us this perk permanently!

good to see many joining! good luck :seeya:

oh and "avid reader" :)
 
Glad you could come aboard buddy :)
Nice breakdown so far:
Four English (two Londoners!)
Six Americans
One New Zealander and One ??? :D

Hmm perhaps the Overseer might have a Team challenge in the cards?
I'll go work on an achievement just in case :)

Added some diary links of those who have posted here, so that I and others can keep track of you and encourage (or TAUNT lol) you. I hope you don't mind too terribly, lemme know if you wish to have me take it down. Oh, and I noticed a couple of you hadn't updated your diaries in a while so I didn't want to disturb it incase you no longer interested in it.

Try to spot the Overseer's command! This one is pretty conspicuous.
