PostGRcade Tasks of the Week: Week 8 - Page 9 WINNER ANNOUNCED
by Mockmaster » Thu Oct 29, 2009 2:21 pm

Greetings!

Image


This is the 8th and final week for Tasks of the Week. It's been one hell of a ride, but now it's time to say goodbye. Let's do it in style and get the last set of tasks done with enthusiasm and panache!

Thank you for playing, no matter how many tasks you actually did. After this final week, we will discover who takes the title of TASK MASTER.


Week 7 Table

Image

As tight as ever at the top. The top 4 seem pretty safe as it stands. Who makes it into the green is anyone's guess. This is Dowbocop's final chance to depose Banjo. Can he do it?


The Rules:

The 6 tasks comprise of:

- 2 Easy Tasks (1 point each)

- 2 Medium Tasks (3 points each)

- 2 Hard Tasks (5 points each)

2 bonus points for completing all 6 tasks.

Various extra bonus points for certain tasks.




Week 8 Tasks


Easy - 1 Point Each


The Mirror

Some of these tasks have challenged you to step out of your comfort zone. To take a look at yourself as an individual and challenge you to do something you normally wouldn't. And some of these tasks have been forgettable but enjoyable distractions.

This task simply asks you who you are.

I want you to look in the mirror, and think of:

5 positive things about you as a person
3 negative things about you as a person

And that's it. I've purposefully set more positive than negative to encourage you to feel optimistic about who you are, whatever hand you've been dealt in life. It's up to you if you want to divulge the results in the thread. It may be cathartic. Or you may want to keep such things private.

Librarial

Libraries provide an array of material that can educate, scare, humour, titillate, excite or surprise you through their array of books. It's a credit-crunch-friendly task as you need to reject any temptation to purchase and, instead, find your way down to the local library to investigate what they have available. You then have to loan/rent out any one book that appeals. Simple, huh? If you already have a library card, it will be simpler still.

Bonus points - 1 bonus point for randomly choosing your book by spinning in a circle and then walking forward in a random direction, and picking the book you arrive at.


Medium - 3 Points Each


Slide

Think of this as a revisiting of your youth. A joyful snapshot of a more innocent time. To pass this task, all you have to do is slide down a ...slide. Find a park somewhere, maybe a pub garden. Anywhere that has a slide. And slide down it. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Bonus Points - 3 bonus points for going down a Water Slide

Image IronHide Rules - Revisit a memory of your childhood in some way, perhaps by doing some ritual you used to do as a child. Maybe playing with a particular toy? Eating a childhood food favourite?


You Bet

This task requires you to place a bet at a proper bookies. Walk into your local Ladbrokes and place a bet on anything. It can be a football match, a horse race or who you think will be the latest winner of X Factor. I believe most of you are over the age of 18 so can legally bet. If any of you are under the legal age, do not worry, I have an alternative task ready. PM me for info on this secret task.

Image IronHide Rules - Use an online betting site.


Hard - 5 Points Each


A Day Away

Time to get out and explore. This is simply a non-working/studying day that you need to leave the house in the morning and not return until the evening. Get out of the house.... Go shopping.... Go for a walk..... Visit someone.... Whatever you do during the day is up to you - what succession of activities you plan are up to you. All you need to do to pass is leave the house in the morning and not return home until at least 12 hours have passed. A 'Day Away'.

Bonus points - 3 bonus points for documenting your Day Away with a photo diary.

Image IronHide Rules - Get out of the house for a manageable amount of time that is comfortable for you but is longer than you normally might.


Top of the Trumps

For this task, I would like you to create your very own custom Top Trumps deck.

Go to:

http://customstuff.co.uk

I use these guys to order my own custom top trumps from time to time. They are great. Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to purchase a pack. I am simply asking you to use their online top trumps editor to create your own pack of top trumps, online. It’s a very user friendly editor. There are 31 cards in total (including a joker). You simply upload photos then add them in. Give the deck any theme you like. A hot babes deck perhaps? Something GRcade related? Cars? Dinosaurs? Anything. Give the deck a name. After you have done this, share your login details in the thread so that everyone can login into your account to take a look at your deck and witness how amazing it is. It is perfectly safe as you don’t have to give any personal details to set up an account. You just need a username and password. And an email address. Feel free to set up a new address for the purposes of this task.

Click on ‘MyTrumps’ and ‘create new deck’ to get you started.


The final Deadline for Task Completion is 9pm on Friday the 6th of November!




Good luck, and most importantly, have fun!

Good challenges, I was sort of hoping for one mega hard challenge for the last week though.

Question: Can I make my own waterslide?

One final week, time to prove myself. Time to take it to the top, to attempt glory. It's been a helluva ride, I'm going out with a bang.

The Mirror

Positive points:

Intelligent
Usually Polite
generous
trustworthy
quick wit

Negative points

I always think I'm right
I'm a bit too quiet
I can occasionally be socially awkward

Librarial
Got my sister to randomly select a book, she came back with The Phantom of the Opera.

Slide (IronHide rules)
Dug out my Gameboy which hadn't been used for years, the battery cover is missing and the outer screen is cracked but it still works, sadly I can't find my Tetris cart so had to play on V-rally (which is terrible).

Top of the Trumps
Finally Made the full deck of Transformers top trumps, I'd be tempted to order a pack if they were a bit cheaper (£20 seems a bit steep).

I'm pumped for this week's tasks.

Question: If I go on a normal slide while it's raining (and there for it's all wet) does that count as a waterslide? What if I pour water down it beforehand too?

I will not accept raining. I will accept you pouring water down the slide beforehand as long as there is water pouring as you go down it.
