This is a blurry/unspecific topic because I'm not really too sure how this would work or even if it is a good idea so I'm just posting the idea to begin with...
Life is boring and we spend too much time on the internet so I think we could have a topic where once a week we come up with a challenge that everyone involved has to do that week and then we each share our individual stories. Challenges could be something simple like start a conversation with a stranger and lie about who you are to something more complex. We do a new thing once a week.
Do you guys get what I mean? I think it's a cool idea.

this is what sf0 (http://sf0.org/) is basically
-
So lets do a gw version?
-
OH COME ON YOU GUYS ARE NO FUN AT ALL!
-
Life is boring and we spend too much time on the internet
sorry my life is not boring,... good luck with ur challenges

HERES AN IDEA
*20 minutes pass no one responds*
FUCK YA ALL IM LEAVIN GW!!!!!!!!
-
ds is too busy playing soldat lol
-
DS doesn't even play soldat anymore, that's why it's goign to be so weird that he calls his first child soldat.exe
he fucking promised
-
you guys all suck. this is a good idea!
i'm in.
-
i might try this, but come on, man you posted the topic at about 4 in the morning where i live, you can't expect people to be responding all the time!
-
Challenge 1, meet a stranger on the street and lie about who you are. Make sure the conversation leads to you getting a ride to the nearest gas station. Go inside and buy a coke. Come back out and offer the stranger the coke if they'll let you stay at their house for the night. Take as many pictures of the inside of there house with your cell phone without letting them catch on to you. Upload the pictures. You win!
-
Now how the hell would you be able to pull that off in this day and age of paranoia and untrust?
-
Go around the city for a day dressing up statues and taking photos...
I dunno how plausible that is but I'd be willing to give it a shot because I can run away from cops easily.
-

actually i started playing again..... :(
soldat is part of me

DS, I challenge you to duel me.
In real life.

Real life chainsaw duel.

do a fat chick
like a real fat one
Edit: Here's a serious one. Bring a pen and paper with you to bed (not WITH you you don't want to stab youself in crotch just next to you on a table) and when you wake up in the morning write down whatever you're thinking while half-asleep. On occasion I actually sort of have these half-dreams where I'm like reading a book or magazine but the text keeps changing each time I 'look' over to it/lose concentration. If you have one of these try to transcribe the book
Edit: Search for "the" on last.fm and listen to every group
Edit: Just write a book report
I mean without anyone telling you, just choose some random book and write a 5-page report on it, for nobody to look at or anything but still write it like a serious report (or make it really random and full of curse words if you want)
-
Fart in a Cash Dispenser que while with a friend and try not to laugh, ultimately blaming him/her for it.

mah momma tol' me notta talk tah strangers

eat a dick all of you

Go into a gas station and take a picture of you with your arm around the attendant behind the counter while putting a penny in the Take a Penny Leave a Penny Tray.

Aztec that does not even make sense. You'd need an arm to put the penny in, an arm around the attendant, and an arm taking the picture. Now just how many arms do you have buster?
-
arm reaching round the attendent and dropping it in the tray?
-
It wouldn't work anyway, because it's unlikely that you could hold the camera far enough away to get the penny tray in the shot, since it would only be an arms length away.
But Aztec has three arms so maybe one of them is really long. If so I recommend the long arm to take the photo with.
-
okies about from Aztec's HILARIOUS posts, who is actually in?
Yourhero
Alec
Carius?
who else
-
I'm in but you have to make sure the challenges aren't terrible.
-
eat a dick all of you
i accept this challenge i will get on the phone to armin straight away
-
Lol, people will do these challenges, because most of them are too lazy to even attempt them! Your just a bored person with nothing to do. I've been there.
...I dare you all to spend a week away from this place. And go out and plant a tree. NOW THAT'S A CHALLENGE!!!
-
well i'm not going to plant a tree because it's winter and i'm at school what nonsense is this, and it would be real difficult to spend a week away from here because i'm and addict
depending on the challenge i'll participate
-
Ok I'm be up for this if the challenges don't suck!
-
WELL we are all going to decide what they are. i dont want to do some crappy bullshit either
-
...I dare you all to spend a week away from this place. And go out and plant a tree. NOW THAT'S A CHALLENGE!!!
One that you apparently can't accomplish :fogetlaugh:
-
I've spent many weeks from this place, S4D is soooo jealous of me :fogetcool:
-
Some more challenges...
Challenge 1: Watch Gigli all the way through then tell everyone here what the best part of the movie was for you.
Challenge 2: Listen to the Spice Girls Greatest Hits album and then memorise the chorus to one of their songs.
-
1. let someone headbutt the shit out of you
-
I'm in on the condition that the challenges are cool and this doesn't turn into a total suckfest.
I think a good one would be to find a derelict house/building somewhere in your area and take pictures of it. Particularly if you can get inside without having to worry about being charged for trespassing.
-
Find a girl by Valentines day and break up with her on Valentines day. If you fall in love with her like so many shitty movie plots you lose The
Challenge!
Challenge!

-
yeah you could make it like a scavenger hunt thing and give a prize to the person with the best material and stuff.
I'll probably take part unless its dumb crap that I don't feel like doing.
-
Yeah I'm in if the challenges aren't shitty.
-
Here's the first challenege. Shoot yourself in the head and have someone take pictures and post on gw.
ok, go
-
you are a comedic genius
^<---- sarcasm
i would be ok with just going somewhere i've never gone in my community, that would be kind of interesting
-
i've given up drinking soda as a challenge but that would hardly seem to liven things up
how about finding quirky gimmicks in small or large cities and taking pictures by them. downtown tulsa has this neat and pretty useless area by an abandoned train station that is designed to create this weird echo effect when standing in the middle of it??
-
Ok how about brainstorming some challenges that dont suck. Prefferably ones you can do alone because I kinda think its weird to go up to a chum and say "help me me do this stupid thing" "why?" "it's a challenge on the internet". It depends on how awesome it is though, if it's awesome enough it could turn out sick.
* Make a flag saying whatever you want, whatever size you want, and then scout out town for the highest building you could out it on top of and put it there. High buildings, big flags and cool text on 'em wins.
* 'Decorate' a common area with garden gnomes.
This one is pretty cool:
* Buy a big set of toy soldiers, some glue, then go around town and create epic toy soldier battles taking place on things, by gluing up the toy soldiers on light poles, steel bars, railings, dumpsters, whatever you can find. Pictures or it didn't happen. And make sure it's somewhere where people will notice it.
-
The challenge shouldn't piss people off though. Damn army men on my light pole. I stand by my gas attendant challenge.

I can totally picture a bunch of people filming themselves, going to a public area, set the battlefield, take a picture, and run away. And if someone asks what the fuck you are doing, just say it's protest against the war in Iraq or something.
EDIT: Aztec's avatar made me think of a challenge. Take a garden gnome, put a picture of Foget's face on it, and take a picture of it in a cool place like the top of a volcano or something.
-
challenges sound fun i'm totally up for this as long as it's not ridiculously stupid.
-
Ok thus far Bisse has the best ideas, so lets all brainstorm and see whats the best we can come up with . .. . .
-
Host a civil war reenactment
-
lifesize chess
-
let someone shoot you in the dick with a paintball gun
-
-find as much spare change as you can from around town and see who can buy the most stuff (by volume)
-the cheeseburger challenge: bet someone $5 they can't eat a mcdonalds cheeseburger faster than you. they go first, time them, then give them the $5. trust me you feel so elite when you do this.
-compliment strangers on their shoes. tally responses
-find interesting articles from your newspaper, clip them out and paste them into a book. give the book a snappy title, if your articles pertain mostly to the war, maybe 'the sound of war'
-rescue animals. rescue as many cats as you can afford to feed from the rspca. remember to have them spayed or neutered! cats will entertain you for the rest of your days.
-sit on your front deck and try to memorise the features of everyone that goes past. at the same time, think of witty characters to talk as if they point out you're staring.
-recycle. save the environment, and yourself (from boredom). you should already do your own recycling, but others on the block may not. go through their trash and sort out their plastics from their papers and compost that organic waste.
-
Challenge: Use one of those offical websites to make yourself a priest.
-
let someone shoot you in the dick with a paintball gun
that really smarts :fogetsad:
-
Well I can't put pants on statues but I'll try for a shirt, hat and glasses, followed by a photo next to it or something, heh...
With that said I'm all talk and no balls so I think it's best to just see wait and see if these come up in the picture thread and nothing else.
-
reverse shoplifting is a lot of fun. have people burn mix cds, a bunch of them, and print out the covers and replace all these albums. they don't have to be good or bad albums or mixes, just someone buys Slint's Spiderland and gets some fuckin Weird Al instead. its what we call anarchy.
also john waters used to find thrift store clothes and then put them on store mannequins when no one was looking, or at least put them in with the regular clothes. just the grodiest shit too.

i love this story almost as much as his shoplifting stories, like about how divine just walked out of a store with a chainsaw because WHO WOULD STOP HIM, and how he got caught putting something in his jacket but then he put it back so when he was arrested he sued them and won $3000 from them
-
Challenge 1: Watch Gigli all the way through then tell everyone here what the best part of the movie was for you.
this is funny because my friends want to rent disaster movie and see if I can sit through the whole movie without groaning/complaining/leaving the room in disgust. I actually kind of want to see if I can do that (note: the answer is no)

did you listen to This Filthy World too? I did yesterday.
-
did you listen to This Filthy World too? I did yesterday.
I saw the video version of it, is there an audio version? That would be a nice thing to have on my iPod.
the best part of the whole thing is his story of saying inappropriate things to children tho
"Did you knock my bike over? Wanna knock over other people's bikes together? They'll never know it's us."
-
i will join if there is monetary compensation.
-
Count me in. And just for redundancy sake, if the challeneges aren't retarded.
-
i think this topic is a half good idea but it can't just be shit like HEY ACT LIKE AN ASSHOLE OR SOMETHING LOL cos 1: no-one'll do it and b) i don't really even wanna do that. i'm on board with things that are centred around the idea of do something nice/make an interesting situation or thing out of nothing. like that reverse shoplifting idea is one which is leaning in the right direction. kind of a hassle to do with no payoff i guess though.
Did you ever catch a film called "Mr. Yes" starring Jim Carry? It's about a man who gets married to his best friend cos he has to say yes to everything but Proposition 8 denies him his dreams. That's me. I'm Mr. Yes. I'm signing up!
i don't have many ideas on me though...how about filling in rote feedback forms in character? i done this once. you have to fill in a report of the condition of the room in the student halls as to whether it's acceptable and most people just tick yes and leave the boxes blank but...you guessed it...not me!!! i filled in the comments boxes in painstaking detail about every scratch and blemish on the stuff in the room, letting the maintenance staff know just exactly how unhappy i was with it all and then the cleaning lady said to me the next day "so you're the comedian are you? well done that's the best one we've had so far."
magic!
-
wow jamicus made up a movie.
also i was gonna make roman watch every single lotr movie back to back for an article once but then i realize no one on staff listens to me anyways.
-

I will try and do this tomorrow if I can find a place downtown that sells toy army soldiers. Otherwise, I'm totally up for pretty much anything here as long as they are challenges and not stupid shit like "buy a cat".
-find as much spare change as you can from around town and see who can buy the most stuff (by volume)
This was actually a challenge as part of some ARG event I went to. It was a little different in that we were only given £1 to do it with, but some of the results were pretty big. Some people haggled a 6-pack of kitchen towels and then taped them all together in a hall, and almost filled an entire 20m x 15m square.
-
Also the less income needed for these the better imo.
-
Ok here is a challenge thats actually worthwile.
We will pick three movies from IMDB's bottom 100 list (or other movies we can be 100% certain are totally awful) and everyone has to watch them. How you watch them is up to you, if you want to get drunk/high, alone or with some chums while watching them for some laughs its up to you but you can't just let it run on a TV in the background, you have to actively watch it. Also everyone has to write some lines about their horrible experience.
I propose we watch:
The Hottie and The Nottie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0804492/)
Troll 2 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105643/)
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus_Conquers_the_Martians)
You guys give some suggestions too. Also we could come up with some sort of drinking game for those strong of heart mind and liver.
Also someone should host them on a good server so we don't get people who can't actually find the movies.
-
everyone
here is the challenge for this week: come up with a good challenge
-
i already did
two times
How about this, tomorrow afternoon we will pick the best challenges posted, and make a poll. Which means you have until tomorrow to come up with one! Come up with shit right now, or get ready to glue army men or watch shitty movies!
-
i really like the toy soldiers one.
-
I think the toy soldiers one is the best.
-
I like the toy soldiers one and the dress statues up one. The statues one could get a bit iffy with police and shit tho!
-
For the toys you can also use magnets instead of glue to avoid being accused of vandalism or whatever. Buy fridge magnets or something like that that you can find cheap, take off the magnets and glue them onto the bottom of the toy soldiers instead. They should stick well to most metal surfaces I think. It will also make them much easier to put out so you can do hit 'n runs!
-
about the toy soldiers: does it have to be in TOWN? like would it be okay to do it at like a workplace or school or a playground.
-
Playin with toys ain't no challenge
-
you just haven't played professionally.
