Chit-Chat: Home is where the Challenges are

[Necrum]

It's better to PM me about thread owner problems.

 

[Feraligatr13]

Oh, my bad. I'll go do that now.

 

[Tek]

So am I able to take ownership or not? Sorry, it's just that we kinda got off topic there.

P.S. I'm excited for what you have planned Necrum ^_^

P.P.S. Happy 2500th post Necrum :D

Kudos on proper use of post-scripts

Lol, thanks...?

Remember that WoW challenge I proposed back in June anyone? I'm actually hoping to revitalize that idea, now that I have some time on my hands. So maybe expect that within the next week or two? Then again, something might come up, so it's indefinite at the moment.

I bet a lot of people forgot what the challenge was supposed to be about, and I'd like critique from people, so I'm just going to put what I have now in a spoiler, and hope people read it and comment on it :3

Spoiler:

The World of Warcraft Challenge!




World of Warcraft is the world's most popular MMORPG. It is currently in the Mists of Pandaria expansion and features thirteen races and eleven classes. Along with these classes, each class has three to four specializations. Considering I, as well as many other people in the forums, play this game on a regular basis, I figured that it would be best to make a challenge based off of it. This challenge involves taking regular Pokemon and specializing them to their limits. You have six Pokemon, each with their individual races, classes, and specializations.





Races!

I am accepting applications for ownership of the Random Pokemon Challenge. Mind you, the thread is about 312 posts behind at the moment because I have been too busy and isolated to keep it updated. So if someone is willing to do the work, it's theirs.

I'm up to doing the work. I started school already, but I really need something to do in between studying and classes (aside from just doing challenges). It would also finally push me to do a random Pokémon challenge, because I've been postponing signing up for a long time. Plus I'm also kinda socially awkward and all my time aside from studying I spend on my computer so keeping it up to date should be no problem. (Sorry if you rather had me send you a PM).

I'd be willing to own it as well, but I don't necessarily need it, with all the work I've got. But if something happens to Buzz Buzz [>:)] send me a PM.

Feel free to play it xD

I've been busy trying to survive so I didn't have time to add everyone on the first post but that doesn't mean you can't play ^^

I played the Monotype Challenge for like 4 months before it had a new owner, lmao! Yeah, the owner doesn't have to be active to play guys, lol.

 

[Ahri]

I'm trying to get it done. It's a bit difficult with all the name changes tho .-.

Name changes are pretty hard to follow, yeah. At least with the new method you have a more consolidated list of recent changes.

New method?o.O

I'm so confused :/

 

[Necrum]

New method?o.O

I'm so confused :/

The new system for name changes where everyone who wants a change does it at the same time every 4 months.

 

[Pendraflare]

New method?o.O

I'm so confused :/

Necrum basically covered it but in addition, crystal tier supporters can get one additional name change per year at any time they desire. Not too many of the username changes have been that hard for me to catch onto, though.

 

[Entermaid]

OMG a count-down clock!

Will this be a Halloween related event?

IF so, I will be very happy!
