Hm. Well, whenever my task comes around, I want every single thread listed that has the word "pie", "toe", "rage", or "potato" within it listed here alphabetically by thread title, with summary of the contents underneath.

I'll be checking back for it. Thanks.


PS - get a webcam, immediately if you dont' have one. I have a feeling this will be instrumental in acting out every single smiley, which I guarantee you will be a task... hell, I change mine to that right now!

Me get a webcam?  I will just use a video camera to prove anything. =D.   The first part of your post confused me,  but I am a very confused person in the morning.

Yeah guys, I'd rather he not do tasks that might get him in serious trouble at home, like stuff involving smoking or stuff like that.  We don't wanna be responsible for something serious in his real life.

@ Icysk8er: What I'm gonna ask you is pretty damn hard, I know. But you gonna have to do it if you wanna be the new Zeltar...
You gonna have to watch every San Jose games in regular season (they gonna win most of the time so until there it's cool) and then enjoy seeing them be kicked out of the playoffs on the first round. This, every year. Have fun!  ;D

umm, I think we should have a time limit on how long things should be.  Can't watch every game for a whole season.  Plus, i doubt highly that I will be home to watch every game. [and don't have them on my tv]

This.  Or an admin like ariich could do it.  These tasks should be possible without breaking any laws/real-life rules.  Doesn't mean they can't have shock value though. :biggrin:

Oh, Flix, if only you were a post whore :biggrin:

And the task is going to take time but in the long run, as it will be one task every week. Hence, ten weeks of tasks!

Do not disclose your task until it is your week. Do not give him time to prep.

TASK #1

You are to submit to me in a private message a 500 word essay on why spelling and grammar are important. I will proof said essay, and if it lacks spelling and grammar errors, will post it as the completion of your task. However if there are any errors, I will tell you to revise it until you get it right, perhaps giving you a hint towards what the error(s) was if I am feeling merciful. On top of it all I must be convinced why good spelling and grammar are important. Go forth.

The official rules:

Here are the top 10 posters who will make the challenges.

BlobVanDam     12502
hefdaddy42        10958
Jamesmiain        10280
Dimitrius        10158
The Pancaker   10036 (He doesn't count as he doesn't post any more so a random Mod will replace him)
rumborak        8869
emindead        8454
axeman90210   7613
Zeltar           7481
Nick                6787

Seeing as Zeltar is making the final challenge, I shall be taking his place.

We will each give icysk8r a challenge, starting with Nick and working our way backwards, I will go second, axeman will go third, and so on.

The challenge must be able to be completed within a 1 week time period.

Do not state your challenge unless it is your turn to give one.

Once the 10 challenges have been completed, Zeltar will command icysk8r to perform one more and final task before the honor can be passed down to him.

Challenges must not cost anything to complete, can not risk getting the law involved, and safety above all other things.

Picture and or video evidence must be submitted for each challenge.

Only he who created the challenge decides whether it was fulfilled.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

It's not about whether you fail, it's about how epically.

Well, that is why you have one whole week to give evidence of the fulfillment of your task. Use your time wisely. Don't rush [unless you are absolute confident with your result].

lol.  when I was very little I used to want to have ice powers, and I was always normal temp.  I never felt hot or cold, and I could play outside in the cold and not feel cold or get sick. so my nickname was icy.  for about a year I skateboarded.  so that's where the sk8r came from.  so icysk8r.  my mom put them together though when I was little to make me an email.  and yes, I posted a pic A while back.  I will post another though.
