Weight-Loss Heroic Mode 90 Day Challenge! The Competitive Weight Loss RPG!

Weight-Loss
I eat a salad everyday for lunch, so Im up to 2 salads already for the week. No pork shouldnt be a problem either unless I give in to McDonalds on my way to work.
 
@ Davey LOL! Is that anyway for our Hero of the Week to set an example? I'll give you some slack, assuming you didn't know about the quest when you ate that bacon sandwich (mmm bacon)

@ AnnaGail. Thanks you :D Congrats on unlocking [I Wanna Hold Your Hand]! Let me know who you want to "hold hands" with for the V-Day weigh in and you guys will share 100% of each others' EXP for the week!

@ Ky. You did great this week! 3rd place at the weight in :)

@ Everyone. Good to see many people working on your quest. Good job! Also, regarding the quest reward....if you already have "Fast Metabolism" for the week, you will be given "Overseer's Blessing" instead (+ 0.5 to any EXP or weight multiplier)
And, I think I already mentioned this before, but Achievements are repeatable in terms of unlocking perks. So, keep welcoming those newbies, responding to forum posts, etc. Oh and for the gold, Anton and I thought it would be cool to open up an item shop where you can buy armor, clothing, pets, mounts, lottery tickets etc. But we'll see how everything goes. Don't wanna get too far ahead of ourselves.

LOL! For anyone else who is confused, the official weekly weigh in results are posted at the Hero's Enclave :D

I took your numbers from the Jan challenge since you hadn't posted and it was getting late :)
 
I am a little confuse on some of this too, but love this challenge it keeps me thinking! Daybehavior, who ever has the lead on EXP so far, is the one "I want to hold hands with". lol
 
haha I'm a bit lost myself... it's all fun though...

I failed the truffle challenge, had homemade pizza with bacon yesterday... oops (but very yummy)... :)
 
Hey guys and gals

Sorry if anyone has gotten confused by this whole process. I sometimes forget that not everyone is an RPG (Role Playing Game) geek such as myself :) Let me take some time to review the leveling process a bit more and hopefully clarify things for you.

For every pound you lose, you gain one experience point. Two experience points will grant you a level up. However, by earning an achievement, you may unlock a "perk" that may increase the rate at which you gain experience. For example, if you have "Fast Metabolism" or "Protector of the Damned" instead of earning one experience point per pound, you earn 1.5 points per pound. If you have the "Overseer's Blessing" (which adds 0.5 to any perk you have) you would then end up with 2x experience points for the week.

Additionally, some perks, such as "Diplomat" (which is unlocked by earning the [Jet-Setter] achivement) allows you to "share" experience points with another member (the person with the highest EXP for the week normally, unless you chose someone else beforehand). For example, this week, Davey earned 12 experience points. With the "Diplomat" perk, Anton, Monster and Mr. Love were able to "share" 25% of his EXP, so they each got a 3 EXP bonus on top of whatever else they earned for the week.

The important thing is not to worry too much about the Perks section. The achievements are what you want to focus on. Once you unlock those, I will handle the game mechanics from there :) Oh and yes, do try to read the Overseer's Messages on the first post if you get a chance. (its right above the weekly quest) Its where I announce small updates, achievement, perk additions/changes. LOL sorry for the constant changes Ryan :D

I know that not everyone can put up big numbers each week to make giant level gains but I designed some of the perks the way they are so that you can increase your chances of leveling without having to necessarily put up a great number. A lot of the perks are a way of "leveling the playing field" so to speak. Keep in mind also that doing your quest is an automatic level up! And if you're an avid reader, you may find a few presents now and then ;)

I also wanted to address the [My Skinny Valentine] achievement, 12 pounds by Valentines Day might be reasonable for the boys but the girls may have a bit harder time. So, I'm reducing the requirement to 8lbs for the girls and 5lbs for Maggie and Anna G (my smallest ladies) and Cassandra if she comes back.

Overall, while this is a competitive challenge, I don't want anyone to feel alienated and most importantly I want you guys to have fun. I want you to feel proud and accomplished for the things you do, not only in terms of weight loss, but on the forums and on your quests, etc.

Monthly weight loss challenges are cool and all, but they lack the heart and interactivity this challenge provides. With those, you just post your number, someone may or may not congratulate / recognize you and you move on. With this, I sincerely hope that you feel more recognized and appreciated for the things you do. This challenge was/is never about me. I'm doing this for the good of the forum and those who were sweet enough to take a chance on me and my silly challenge.

So...that's my long winded speech for the month LOL. Please if you have any further questions, concerns, criticisms feel free to let me know!

PS. Damn a bacon pizza sure sound good right about now hahahaha

Thanks! Don't think I'd of been able to lose that much :D I think this challenge is really different from the ones I've seen before, and it has so much more heart to it!
 
Thank you Daybehavior for your time posting these challenges, which gives us something to do and look forward to. You didn't have to change the challenges, I just try my best and have fun with it....You have me reading more and being conscious of what I am eating and doing on a daily bases. Thank you so much!! :hug2:

:grouphug:
 
Awesome! How do I start? Do I give todays stats or do I give my stats from 2 weeks ago when you guys started?

Also.. I have read through the early posts and am a little overwhelmed and feel behind. i am sure I will catch up quickly but any tips on what I should do to get started? Which challenges are we on now? You can PM me so I dont take up this post with repetitiveness!

Happy to be in the challenge :party:
 
welcome christen!! We had our first weigh in monday. we do not really have challenges but (optional) "quests" to help you level. This is this week quest:

Truffles Must Die!
To complete this quest:
- eat at least three salads during the course of the week
- avoid all pork products
- engage in some rigorous housework you've been putting off OR earn the achievement: [Dr. Foodlove, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Gym]
Completing this questing will grant you 5 gold and the "Fast Metabolism" perk. In addition, you gain one level. If you already have "Fast Metabolism" you will be granted "Overseer's Blessing."

If you have completed this quest, copy/paste this message to your original weight post for next week -
[o] I have started [Truffles Must Die!]
[x] I have completed [Truffles Must Die!]

Quests are good but i think achievements are the fun part of the challenge :)
Please do post ur stats from last two weeks, I am sure Anthony will give you back credit for any losses! I will talk to him later and let him know.

PS. Good start is to post short intro about yourself (gain one level) and to find the "overseer's command"--he sticks it somewhere in the Achievement or Perks section (gain another one)!
