Get Pushed Week 30 - Monday Feb 11 to Sunday Feb 17

[☠northy]

Where DOES the time go? I've left the basic info about the challenge off this week on the assumption that most people now know about it... but if you're new around here and have questions, just ask!

********************************************************************
The week's pairings are below...

-- if I've left you off the list when you should be on (or left you on when you should be off), please post to this thread ONLY and i will get it fixed... (it becomes awfully challenging to keep track when you post to other threads)

-- If you've never played before but want to join up, please post to this thread as well...

*************************************************************************
Week 30 Dates

-- Sunday, Feb 10 - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday Feb 11 thru Sunday Feb 17 - take a picture in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-30, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, Feb 18 - winner of week 29 will pick 5 finalists for a vote

NOTE:
If you are paired up with someone who seems to have gone MIA (does not post a challenge to you by Tuesday at midnight GMT), please let me know by responding to this thread...

*************************************************************************
How to play:

A. to issue a challenge:

1. Find your partner from the list below. The easiest way to find someone (if you don't follow them) is to put their "@" name in the search box on the top right of the screen and hit the magnifying glass... it will take you to a list of discussion threads where that person has posted... find where they've posted and click on their thumbnail - that will take you to their profile...

2. Browse through the last couple of months of photos to get a feel for what they shoot and don't shoot etc.

3. Post an introduction on their last photo, and also issue the challenge you are setting.


B. To respond to a challenge:

4. You have until midnight next Sunday, to take and post your shot or shots.

5. When posting your shot write a short description about who challenged you, what the challenge was, what you found hard about it etc. You really should do this because if nothing else, it helps the previous week's winner when they have to choose this week's finalists... besides, if someone is cruising the photos with a "get pushed" tag, they like to see what the challenge was when looking at your photo :)

6. Make sure to tag your shot for the challenge.... Get-Pushed-30

7. Tag your challenger in the COMMENTS (not just your write-up). PLEASE NOTE - you MUST tag your partner in a separate comment... tagging them in your write-up of your photo is not sufficient as it will not result in them getting a notification...


C. Also

8. it is nice to visit the photo that was made in response to your challenge and offer some comments and maybe even some constructive criticism...

9. On the Monday after the challenge is over, the winner of the previous week will pick 5 finalists for a vote, this can be based purely on their fav photos, who they felt best met the challenge etc, etc.

****************************************************************************

Have fun and be careful out there!

[Heidi]

If there ends up being a spot, could I join in now or start next week? Thank you! Figure I would try to jump in and give it a go. :)

[☠northy]

@heidit hi Heidi... no doubt someone else will come along in search of a partner today or tomorrow, so very likely possible to get you paired up this week :)

[Glendq]

i have done this three times now and have really enjoyed it.
thanks for doing this.
hope it is not too much work.

[Taffy]

I'd like to give this a try if there is a spot. Thanks.

[☠northy]

@glendq glad you're enjoying it! mostly it isn't a lot of work... i've got everything in an excel spreadsheet and it's pretty quick to set up each week :)

[☠northy]

@taffy sure! i'll add you to the list... meanwhile, you can team up with @heidit for this week :)

[Janet]

I'd like to give this a try if there is a spot - I've never done it before!

[Taffy]

@northy @heidit
Great! I'm looking forward to it!

[Alison]

@northy going to make this one my last get pushed ... Only have til middle of march for the project and have some things I want to concentrate on ... So can I take this opportunity to thank you for all your time and efforts in hosting get pushed ... I have learnt so much taking part  

[Jenn]

@northy I'm in if someone is in need of a partner this week!

[Amrit Patel]

@northy Could you add me to the list too if not too late???

[☠northy]

@alisonp glad you've enjoyed it Alison! good luck with your last month :)

@janturnbull @shutterbugger how about you two pair up for the week?

@amritdpatel hi Amrit... I'll add you to the list... in the meantime, likely someone else will come along and you will be able to get paired up for this week...

[Jenn]

@janturnbull you in?

[Amy]

@northy can I join in this week?

[☠northy]

@atooner certainly! how 'bout you pair up with @amritdpatel ?

[Rachael]

@northy Hi Northy, sorry but I have heaps and heaps going on in my life at the moment. Can I pull out of the challenge for now, and I will jump back in when I have the time? Cheers!

[Janet]

@shutterbugger Hi Jenn! I'm in. Just thinking up a challenge for you!

[Alrike Claassen]

I feel really bad, but I have not been uploading my get pushed challenges. My computer was broken and now I have so much work to catch up on. Please take my name off the list for now and I will joinin again at a later stage. My apologies to my get pushed partners.

[☠northy]

@ayrinthelife @alrike ok - taking you off the list...

@aikiuser and @sadiec - as your partners have had to bow out, how about you two pair up for the week?

[aikiuser (jenn)]

@northy @sadiec Sounds good to me!

[Brandy]

I would really like to join!

[☠northy]

@brandyg hi Brandy... i will add you to the list for next week... if someone else comes along searching for a partner in the next day or so, you can pair up with them for this week...

[Sabrina Johnson]

@northy - I really hate to do this but I'm just not keeping up my end of the partnership in the way I need to. I'm going to bow out for now but may join you all again another time. Perhaps this summer when school is out. :)

[☠northy]

@thejohnson4 ok...

@brandyg Brandy... maybe you could pair up with @evahenriette as her partner had to bow out for this week

[Simply Amanda]

My partner seems to not be posting anymore. Nothing since January. If someone else needs a partner this week, I am still free:).

[Nicola]

@amandalomonaco
I can pair up with you, I'm new to 365 and it would be my first get pushed, but it will give me some inspiration...

[Simply Amanda]

@nicolamac Ok, sounds great!

[Allegresse]

I want to play! Is it too late?

[mizhayz]

@northy hi- looks like the person you teamed me up with has not been online in a while. can you team me up with someone else or shall i sit this one out? :-)

[Raine]

@northy @Summerfield just to let you both know that despite my computer being in the shop for repairs, I'm still here, and still taking pictures. Alas, my last challenge won't enter the voting, and maybe not this one either, but I'm still doing the best I can!

[☠northy]

ok - just to be sure i've got this tracked...

@nicolamac @amandalomonaco you are pairing up for this week as Amanda's partner @jenniferrichelle seems to have gone mia...

@allegresse @mizhayz how about you two pair up as Mishayz partner @musicguy1982 seems to be mia...

technically we're supposed to wait until tomorrow (tuesday) to sort this, but if one or both of them show up we'll figure it out then...

[Simply Amanda]

I'll take on two challenges if I need to. Thanks, Northy. You got it right.

[Allegresse]

Sounds good! Now...what do I do? :) @mizhayz @northy

[mizhayz]

@allegresse I'll think of something to "push" you out of your normal comfortzone and you do the same for me..

[Allegresse]

Okay. I Just read through the rules...I think I understand. Why don't you start the process for us, and I'll follow your lead. That okay?

[Allegresse]

@mizhayz ^

[Miss Mercy]

Hi @northy,
I'm going to be on holiday next week and don't think I'll have internet access. Can you drop me out for the week beginning the 18th Feb but put me back in for the following one beginning the 25th? Thank you.

[Michelle Dunn]

my partner not posting as of yet 645pm on tuesday night so???

[MissBirdie]

I would like to join up next week, how and when can i do it? I'm sorry if it's a stupid question :)

[Lynne]

@northy I'm new to this but not sure my partner is participating this week. I have not yet received a challenge but I did give them one to which they replied it was an interesting challenge. Do I wait and see if I get a challenge now? If not, guess I'll join back in next week, hopefully.

[De]

No challenge issued yet. I did issue one yesterday.

[KathyD]

@northy It seems that @dan_paul is MIA. No worries....I'll give it another go next week.

[☠northy]

@missmercy noted

ok - @m9f9l seems to be mia as does @dan_paul

Not sure about @spirrowshoot and @5unflow3r - both their projects are current, but seems they have not responded to challenges issued... so... how about this...

@lynne5477 and @degarvey maybe you can team up for this week, and if Spirrow and Trina show up they can pair up with each other...

@shelldunn @kathyo did you two want to pair up this week?

@nikolinadimitrova Nikolina, i will add you to next week's list...

[Trina P Holub]

@degarvey Sorry, I was sick today, I guess I should've dropped a note to you.

I actually always take a couple of days to come up with a theme. Oops, sorry everyone who has had me for a partner. So now I will have Spirrow if she shows up? @northy

[☠northy]

@5unflow3r sorry to hear you've been ill... yeah - maybe check with @spirrowshoot to see if she's playing? it gets a bit dicey on tues / wed, especially with the different time zones...

[De]

@northy Thank you for the quick response. I issued a challenge to Lynne.

[Spirrow]

I'm so sorry for going AWOL @lynne5477 - I haven't had easy access to the internet all day. I see @degarvey has already issued you a challenge, so it seems I've been re-partnered with @5unflow3r?

@northy

[☠northy]

@spirrowshoot @5unflow3r sorry guys - yeah - are you ok to partner up? i need a better way of sorting these things out... difficulty is with the various time zones i just don't know how long to let something lie before turning to a plan B...

[m9f9l]

I did send Michelle a challenge! Really!

[Spirrow]

@northy Works well for me. Many thanks for putting so much time into getting this challenge to run smoothly. The time zones issue is a a real stumper! I'll have to think on that for a while.

[Rachel Withey]

Hi @northy. My partner @louienumber4 seems to have gone awol. I've posted a challenge but haven't heard anything back and he hasn't posted any pictures since 30th Jan. I'm happy to sit this week out or happy to partner up if there is anyone else in the same position.

[kali]

@rachelwithey I wouldn't mind doing a challenge with you, it would be my first time is that ok? @northy

[Trina P Holub]

@spirrowshoot so I will look at your project this morning ang figure out your challenge. Nice to see you. :-)

[Smitha]

Hi..not sure, who I am paired with..may be I missed finding my name in the list..

[Rachel Withey]

@kali66 This works for me. @northy is this ok from your end? Don't want to mess up the system. Imagine it's a nightmare to organise.

[Cameron Knowlton]

@northy @kizzysmom I'm going to have to back out of the Get Pushed challenge for a bit, life's getting hectic. Northy, please give Kizzy's Mom a new partner. thanks!

[christine smith]

@northy can you remove me for the next few weeks? i'm traveling with no access to email/internet to get the challenges :)

[☠northy]

ok kids - you're officially making me crazy ;p

@rachelwithey @kali66 - sure - go ahead and partner up... i am not going to stand in the way of you taking the initiative to solve a problem :)

@smithak your partner is @traceywhickerphotography - trust me, both your names are on the list... but if she hasn't contacted you, might mean she's gone mia - pls check and let me know, 'k?

@christinesmith i will remove your name - but in the meantime, are you playing this week? or do i have to find @simster a new partner?

if i do, @simster could always pair up with @kizzysmom

or @kizzysmom could pair up with @m9f9l ...

or you could just all play together and go round robin or something :)

[christine smith]

i'm playing! not traveling until the weekend! :)

[☠northy]

@christinesmith excellent! tx for the advance notice :)

so, @kizzysmom could perhaps pair up with @m9f9l and then i think things are settled...

[Kizzy's Mom]

@northy @m9f9l Sounds good. I'll get your push to you as soon as I can.

[Cameron Knowlton]

thanks @northy! I did a really weak match of a photo today to @kizzysmom 's challenge:
http://365project.org/cameronknowlton/365/2013-02-12

... and gave her one that I thought would challenge her well, but no need to fulfill. I'll need to bow out next week, but I'll be back when things settle down.

[Velina]

@northy
I want to participate in the challenge again! Please count me in for the coming week! Thanks in advance:)

[Tracey Whicker]

@smithak I am so sorry, I think this was for last week - I had visitors all week and haven't been on here - am I too late? How do I find your profile, sorry I am new to all of this!

[Tammeray]

@northy back in this week please :)

[Kat]

@northy I would like to join but am new to 365.
