Okay, I am sure that many of you are suffering from I-don't-know-what-an-ellipsis-is-itis, which is a terrible disease that I just made up. An ellipsis is "a mark or marks as ——, …, or * * *, to indicate an omission or suppression of letters or words." But, more importantly, an much more relevant is the fact that I use them too much. So, I have created a challenge for myself (because I am really that weird). What would a challenge be though without rewards and consequences (in this case just a consequence

). So, I want the consequence to be helpful to this site, so i want suggestions from YOU! What should I give back to this site if I fail?

The specific rules of the challenge will be:
1. For one week after now (10:00 PM EST on Wednesday, Oct. 29), I am not allowed to use the ellipsis symbol (three dots) or any form of that on this website.
2. This includes all areas of the website. Including be not limited to posts, the cbox, and even pms.
3. If anyone has proof of my use of ellipsis after this starting time, then they are to post it below.
4. The suggestions for punishments must fulfill three requirements. They must (1) be appropriate, (2) benefit this site, (3) not be harmful to me as this is voluntary, and (4) Must be posted below before the ending date.
5. The choice of final consequence will be a staff decision (if they would like to participate) by November 6th (if possible).
6. Questions, amendments, etc. about the challenge are to be either posted below or pmed to me.

Have Fun!
Hopefully I do not fail!

The challenge ends on Wednesday, November 5th at 10:00 PM EST.

How about you update the Wiki for Rhys, he has done a lot with it, along with others, but there are things that I'm sure need to be updated. I don't have much of an idea on how to do so, but from looking through the Wiki, you do.

How does that sound? We could limit it to characters belonging to active members only, as there is a lot of stuff on there, and you have the same amount of time as this challenge to do it or we broaden it more.

DEAL?

*evil laughter*

Ok, you guys are very observant (eyes roll). I have actually already failed.

Now, I was hoping somebody would have noticed, but although nobody did, I guess I'll turn myself in. Now, as I had put in the first post, I must provide proof which was in the cbox:

30 Oct 08, 11:23
Owen: brb...

Quite sad, huh. Well, the worst part is that in EST this would be 7:23 AM (9 hours 23 minutes). The good news on the other hand is that (1) I haven't put any others besides that one and (2) This means that I will have a punishment to fulfill.

So, Please put challenge ideas below!

I still have to do a punishment though, but it is beginning to look like I won't get one because nobody is being serious.
