Around PC in Seven Days

Oryx · Jul 5, 2014

Welcome, weary traveler!

Word has spread here in the PC Explorer's Guild that you've made the bold claim that you can circumnavigate PC in just seven days. Seven days, we said! That's just not possible. No one can see all of what PC has to offer in just seven days. Not with all the dangers, the snapping turtles, and not to mention the...well, I'll let you find out for yourself. We're taking that bet, so you're charged with travelling all over PC in seven days. Of course, we'll need some proof to make sure that you didn't just hide out in Forum Games for a week, drinking their beer and playing with their baby bat. If you make it back alive and well-traveled, great prizes await you!

Rules

Make one post that you edit with your updates and proof that you finished parts of the event. Also please try to put the list in a spoiler so we don't stretch the page too much!
Take on all of these things in the spirit of exploring PC as decreed by the PC Explorer's Guild - that is, although it may not be against the rules of the Welcome Lounge to make a two sentence post welcoming a new member, don't do that just to hit the requirement. I reserve the right to not award points if you're not actually engaging with your posts.
Unless otherwise specified, the proof required is a link to your post.
Please wear an explorer's hat while posting.

Fabulous Prizes

If you take on the bet, you could win...

And a very special supportership prize for the explorer that's fast and thorough!

Let the Journey Begin

Within this spoiler you will find all the proof you need to make the Guild believe your tale. Get cracking, explorer!

This....is awesome. I'll totally partake in this. Gotta get out of my Fan Club shell to do that. yay!

Will use this post for updates and all that.

Spoiler:

1. Post once in 25 of the 30 sections on PC - This count doesn't include sections that all members can't see, or the announcements section, and counts ROM Hacking as one large section. This can be combined with any of the requirements below.
2. Make a thread in 7 sections on PC - Same requirements as above.
3. Speak at least 50 non-spam lines on the IRC - Post your name in the thread; I'll be sure to keep my computer on 24/7 during the GT and can verify with logs.
4. Welcome 3 people - be sure to be thoughtful and unique, don't spam!
5. Post in a 5th Generation Weekly Poll that was created in 2013 or earlier
6. Start a game in Pokemon Trivia
7. Review a story in FF&W
8. Watch one episode from the latest season of Pokemon (XY1-25) and post in the relevant thread
9. Post a critique in an A&D gallery
10. Start playing any hack and leave feedback on the thread - this also counts if you continue playing a hack you've already started, but the feedback must be from this week.
11. Create a playlist and DJ once in the PC Radio Room - To verify this, take a screenshot while you're DJing.
12. Watch at least 3 episodes (or however many are out) of a Spring 2014 anime and discuss it on the thread - If there is no thread, feel free to make it yourself.
13. Write a game review in Video Games
14. Win one battle in Pokemon Showdown - To share this, click the share battle link at the end of the battle, or if you can't find it, take a screenshot.
15. Post a blog about an experience in your life or on PC - If you don't have a blog, PM me your entry and I'll post it in my blog attributed to you.
16. Create a discussion thread on a news article of your choice in Discussions & Debates - Don't just post the link and two sentences and walk away, but try to think of what might be interesting and why you wanted to post that thread.
17. Share your favorite audio or video fan content in the Pokemon Media Lounge in Pokemon General
18. Comment on 5 blogs
19. Post some staff feedback in the feedback thread
20. Post a mugshot in the General Chat thread - If you don't want it to be there, you can post it here and when this forum is hidden it will go away. :)
21. Post in each DCC on the forum - Supporter DCC does not count as not everyone can access it, which leaves 15. Keep in mind that you can't just post "I don't know anything about the TCG" to count; it has to be relevant even if your knowledge on the topic is shaky.
22. Post a new challenge idea in the Challenge Ideas and Discussions thread
23. Start a challenge and post your progress in a thread
24. Post a suggestion for PC in the Community Feedback and Support forum
25. VM 10 people to start a conversation - If you just VM them "VMing for the event" then it doesn't count!

Anyway, I've been waiting for this ever since I first heard of it...this is gonna be a blast. <3

Spoiler:

Will edit this later~
edit: can the showdown battle be a tier of the player's choice? or will you be picking? just wondering.

Aquacorde · Jul 6, 2014

Oryx · Jul 6, 2014

Per Anna's amazing idea I'm editing in that you can post a mugshot in this thread as well, since this forum is being hidden after the GT and all. :)

Do we or do we not have to link?

You have to link. Imagine Oryx having to go find everyone's posts! Gross. But, you don't have to do ALL the challenges. Just as many as you can or want to.

i mean it's not that much effort tbh. every time you do a thing, copy the post link and come back to put it in. it's honestly less effort than doing the thing lol

I should probably venture outside of Pokémon Discussions...

Sign me up!

Oryx, I think it should be noted that;

Zach said:
Website of the Quarter has since passed us for a little over a week now. Endless and I decided that WotM was a little too often, so they're going to be done every quarter. You can read more up on that here: http://www.pokecommunity.com/announcement.php?f=57&a=631

Also, just for reference, but if you have any questions relevant to the section, please direct them to me via PM or VM instead of posting in this thread. Thanks.

Altairis · Jul 7, 2014

Alright, here goes! Time to venture into some new sections :)

Spoiler:

Oryx · Jul 7, 2014

ALERT!

There's been a change to the list per SuperEspeon's post and Altairis' suggestion - the two Website of the Month requirements have been replaced with one requirement to win a battle on Pokemon Showdown. SORRY FOR CHANGING IT AFTER YOU GUYS STARTED I SUCK.

Khoshi · Jul 7, 2014

It's fine - at least you notified us xp

I'll edit my post to add that then. :)

starseed galaxy auticorn · Jul 7, 2014

I'll... give this a try. I can't garauntee I'll get everything on the list, so I'll just do what I can and have fun with it or something. lol

Spoiler:

I'm just going to set this here because I already posted it in the mugshot thread, and I'm not sure if you can use old posts. :x

Spoiler:

(I put it under a spoiler tag because I don't want to make PC slow for anyone with a low connection.)
