@InsaneBoredGame: None of the challenges are going to be that sort of "questionable". Even if some of them are to you, you'll always have the option to skip any of them.

as terrible as this sounds, the milk and or cinnamon challenge. both are terrible and fun.

Hello, my name is Decae and welcome to Jackass.

Habanero Challenge

@Kyuuun: Both are also terribly overdone.

@Ecstasy: Not my fault everyone's voting for the wasabi and hot sauce one. >_<

fully clothed freezing shower?

In my opinion, the Olympics should have challenges that are actually active and not stupid and passive.

How about filming yourself scoring a penalty kick or doing basketball shots or hitting baseballs? I think most of the challenges are less 'Olympics' and more 'Jackass' like @Ecstasy said or talent contests.

@eterno I think the idea is to make the games as accessible to everyone as possible. Not everyone is going to have access to a basketball/baseball.

@Fieyr

Well, the idea is for the challenge to be more 'sporty' than 'Jackass'. So maybe if a basketball is expensive, how about a video of people running a lap around a local landmark? Or maybe a rock-throwing contest?

The cartwheel contest is a nice idea but it's the only one of its kind on the list unfortunately.

@eterno I didn't see where it said that the idea of the challenge was to be more 'sporty' OR 'jackass'. If I missed that though, please point it out to me. I think the idea was simply to come up with challenges, aka interesting little things to do.

If your hang up is the fact that it's called 'Olympics', I imagine that @Decae was simply looking for an interesting name/title in order to generate interest. I doubt it was meant to be taken so literally.

That's not to say we can't have more sports oriented challenges. As was said, you can recommend these things and people can vote for them.

@Fieyr @eterno

It was actually another mod who recommended the name "Colorless Olympics" since it's Olympics time and... yeah. I just wanted a contest with odd challenges that everyone can do. Not many people here will be willing to do physical activities rather than weird "Minute to Win It" kind of activities.

@Fieyr

And that's exactly what I'm doing so what's the problem?

And the idea is just what I think 'Olympics' supposed to be. After all, special Olympics aren't about disabled people eating wasabi but rather they are doing something that is sport-oriented. I wasn't pointing out at any part of any text in the world other than that the idea of the Olympics is about sporty things. Isn't this something that is pretty much common knowledge by now?

And I'm not really bothered with this being called 'Olympics'. It's just that I want to see more Olympic-y stuff in something that is called 'Olympics'. And that's why I'm trying to suggest more sports stuff because those are the stuff I wanna see.

@Decae

Yeah, I wish there'd be more physical challenges. Preferably something that people want to do and is accessible to everyone. Maybe something like a re-enactment of the Rocky sequence?

@eterno: That would be cool, but we only have a week per challenge, and that would take much longer. If you can come up with things similar to that to do, I'll add it to the poll. I can't think of anything else myself to be honest.

@eterno Simply making suggestions is fine. However, you went a step further claiming that the other challenges were stupid/passive by comparison. There's no need for that. It doesn't matter whether you state that it's your opinion or not. It's inflammatory and unnecessary.

I mean, other users are obviously looking forward to those events as evidenced by the poll. For someone unable to participate in more sporty type events, for whatever the reason, those things would be fun for them.

My point being, just because you don't like the options doesn't mean you need to rain on anyone else's parade. Simply make your suggestions and let that be the end of it.

But anyway, I'll leave it alone. @Decae can defend his own thread. Plus we should get back to the point of the thread, having a fun competition.

But they ARE stupid or passive by comparison. Are we going to argue that they are NOT?

Besides stupidity and passiveness aren't inherently bad. Just that I personally think that for something called 'Olympics' they seem pretty out of place is all.

For suggestions: I've also been thinking something like Hurdles or High Jumps. How about something like 'Jumping the Shark' where you jump over a shark? (Would be great if the shark is real but a silly shark representation might be alright I think). Or how about filming yourself jumping off a flight of stairs (not too high of course)? (This one was pretty famous in elementary school)

Or how about the exciting, trying to hit the camera from a distance where you try to hit the camera from a distance?

@eterno it's The Colorless Olympics - here be nerds and here be weaboos, whose "sports" are stupid and passive. It's not about the name anyway, it's about having fun.

Fuck it::

CL OLYMPICS, HERE I COME!

Take me off of the "iffie" list and put me on the official.

ROCKY RE-ENACTMENT!!!!

Let's establish rules for the lemon.
