It occurs to me that not browsing porn while taking this challenge would make it much easier. But at the same time, I don't want to miss out on anything, plus it gives me the opportunity to gather up some… "research material" for when this is over.

Day 4 begins. To keep my libido down, I've been looking up depressing facts. Starting today, I'll post the best ones I can find.

If you ever got bullied, your bully is probably more successful in life than you are. According to studies bullies have higher self-esteem, social status, income and lower levels of depression, and also are found more attractive.

That fact is accurate in at least one case

Mission Log: Day 4, 2358 Hrs

Mission Status: ACTIVE
Alert Level: YELLOW

ALERT: PREEMPTIVE CAUTIONARY MEASURES ENGAGED. ALERT LEVEL ESCALATED.

In the face of the mounting casualties over the past couple of days, I've been thinking: Maybe the mods' cancellation of Hard Mode this year is a "Hard Mode" in and of itself. Instead of challenging resistance and willpower, its challenging motivation and perseverance.

(Ruminations aside, I think choking on smoke will curb any urges to choke something else this evening. )

Know one like these personally. Do not sure if applicable for all cases, but here is a list of what he has to contend with behind the scene:

1) Chronic drive for acknowledgement by other.
2) Drug problems because of 1)
3) Wanton sex for solace because of 1)
4) Alcohol problem because of 1)
5) Smoking despite knowing that it will be his undoing because of 1)
6) Knows that he is a fraud, a liar, a fake, guilt haunts him but still keep doing it because of 1)
7) Personal self-worth means nothing because if it is not acknowledged by others, no matter how much self-drive he has, it is still shit because of 1)
8) Very famous small-time star, has million of 'friends' and followers on Facebook, instagram, twitter. But very few true friends. And has to put on a smile and a show for those million that became a burden on sanity.

There is another one I know for a short while back in school, a very booksmart bully (cannot handle scuffle for a damn, but his behaviour is one), last I heard he is working for the UN. Everybody that came across him think he is an asshole and should get rolled over by a truck. Despite working in a position of power, he will never know peace, and will never live a good fulfilling life because he is set on making everything miserable and seeing that girl he shat on in school got engaged, and living a regular life made him boils with rage.

Most bullies who took that attitude to adulthood learns the hard way that the world of adult despises bullies, so they have to hid that side, but you cannot deny what you are that easily without fully repenting from that way, so people caught onto their shit and know that they are asshole. No matter if they earn 10m a year or world famous, everybody that matter, are those that are around him like coworkers, real life friends and family; not the screaming of fangirls, not the 10m friends, do not like him.

Life is what you make it, just grin and take it. 10m 'friends' and 'followers', mixtapes, etc. Are not what makes me happy. Funny memes, good music, adventure, travelling, (recently) made peace with God, and a slow, quiet, peaceful life with true friends who are decent people are what makes me happy.

Edit: oh, bugger. Just went full serious on Fun Forum, lol.

Wow, the participants are dropping like flies.
Vacation's over for me so i've got less time to keep track of who's posting when. I'm not going to check every individual if they post frequently anymore. So feel free to post whenever you want. It's easier for both of us this way.

Just don't forget to post your status on the final day.

Hey if I were you, I'd put all the people who'd timed out without reporting their current condition into a timeout bin.

I pretty sure Super knows to do that and puts them in a dumpster thread.

1/5 of everyone in this year's is down. September. September has changed. It has become a war saving us from ourselves. The lack of a hard mode might be a factor into this. Since there was no challenge due to the lack of a hard mode, some of us decided to challenge ourselves.
