POUNDS-OFF: The demoscene weight-loss platform for the lardy!

category: offtopic [glöplog]
What is this madness?

Throughout the ages, it has been a sacrosanct thing that demosceners are fatter than the average human being. A LOT fatter, bred on a diet of Cola, toast, and waffles with cheese. Even if a scener was thin to look at, he would still be fat on the inside, globules of fat surrounding those delicious, sweet organs.

Some sceners just made da phat beats, we won't argue against those. Keep them coming!

HOWEVER!! To cut to the chase: we're getting old. Yes, just face it. You're becoming an old fuck, and you can't take the abuse that much longer. You need to lose some weight, old fuck, and the strategic Pounds-Off initiative can help you achieve that! Sign up now, set up a weight loss goal, and be safe in the knowledge that you may be an old fuck with too much weight on your bones, but you're not alone, and together we can make the whole goddamn world better!

We did our part - now shed some lard!

Feature request: dates are tedious to work with, I only work in X weeks until Y party. So I'd like to request that goals can be entered relative to parties. :-)

Hope it has scenepoints too :)

revival, we have a similar feature planned where we show parties as "preset" goal deadlines - will that do? :D

Have scenesat bring a scale to each party, to host an official weigh-in for new starters and a status weigh in for participants as well!

Also: Really an awesome initiative, guys. Deservices some credit for the site and effort alone. If just one guy lives 1 year longer, it's all worth it, and I'm sure it'll be plenty more than that, so hats (along with pants and pounds) off to you :)

The Weight Watchers approach - poor ladies stripping down to their bare bottoms to get that -0.1 kg reading!

Scaling yourself at demoparties don't really work unless you do it early enough, demobeers make you swollen!

as far as the health note goes, does quitting smoking give extra points? :)

I see people are "cheating" by entering historic data and therefore manipulating the system, sort of. Allowed or not? :)

gloom: It's still lost weight, historic or not! Or did it say "Only enter weight from this day onward?"

The system only shows the weight loss/gain between the two most recent entries, so you don't really gain from historic results other than on the "Biggest Loser" chart :)

Integrate with endomondo
gloom: it's not like they're gonna get a scene.org award just because they lost the most weight.

I suggest the "Golden Pork" award at Revision for the person with most weight loss!

Only entries between today and next Easter are taken into account ;)
