    Calling All Factions! (Divergent Challenge)

    Posts: 3,028 Member
    edited November 2024 in Motivation and Support
    Due to the popularity of the Hunger Games challenges, @auddii and I are creating and running a fitness challenge based on the Divergent book series by Veronica Roth.

    We will run 3 9-week challenges, each challenge based on each book in the series, starting with Divergent, following with Insurgent, and then ending with Allegiant.

    The challenge will start in 2 weeks, on Monday, April 20th, with rules and details explained in this group (eventually). The group link is here: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10128904/prepare-for-the-choosing-ceremony#Item_4

    Invite your friends, invite your foes, no prior knowledge of the book necessary to play.

    We look forward to fighting the fight with you!

    Welcome!

      There's a link in the first post. It's an open group for now (it will go private once we start up), so just click that you want to join. You can post in the main announcement, and then just jump in and pick a faction that fits your personality (and post in that faction thread).

      Ha, I swear we're not that bad. As a testimony, many of the people who joined did our last challenge. They didn't die!

      Also, we're getting a little Dauntless heavy. We'd love to have people join the other factions!

      That makes me feel a little better...as long as one of the challenges doesn't involve trying to run to catch a moving train! LOL

      Ooh, we hadn't thought about taking the book literally, but that's a good idea... :wink:

      It's actually pretty easy. Just go to the group (http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/104967-divergent-challenge) and click on the join group. If you are unsure which faction to join, check the thread linked in the first post here for a personality test. Or just pick which one sounds like you. Be sure to post in the thread of that faction to say you would like to join that faction; each faction has their own private group, so they'll invite you to join that as well.

      And be sure to give the rules a read so you know what's going on.

      THIS CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED AND WILL NOT APPROVE APPLICANTS TO THE GROUP. If you missed it, we'll start an Insurgent challenge in a few months.
