Get Pushed 37 - Monday April 1st to Sunday April 7th

March 30th, 2013
Hoppy Easter everyone!

****************************************************************************
As always...

- 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...

-- IF YOU ARE ON THE LIST BUT I SPELLED YOUR NAME WRONG PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!

*************************************************************************
Week 37 Dates

-- Saturday / Sunday, Mar 30 & 31 - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday April 1 thru Sunday April 7 - take a picture in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-37, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, April 8th - winner of week 36 will pick 5 finalists for a vote

NOTE:
If you are paired up with someone who has gone MIA (hasn't posted in a couple weeks or does not post a challenge to you by Tuesday at midnight GMT), please let me know by responding to this thread... AND PLEASE TAG THE PERSON IN YOUR RESPONSE... this does 2 things... (1) it gives a little nudge to your partner and (2) it helps me because then i don't have to search thru my spreadsheet to see who you are partnered with before going to my master list spreadsheet to note that they are MIA :)

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

TO ISSUE A CHALLENGE

1. Find your partner from the list below and click on their name to get 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.


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-37

7. Tag your challenger in a COMMENT (not just your write-up). 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...


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.

Let the fun begin!!

I hope Joanna's partner notices the fault in the link again... That's one tough cookie, that problem. :/
March 30th, 2013
@sudweeks - your partner @sistawood had had to bow out for this week... i will see about finding you another partner shortly...
March 31st, 2013
@lynn5477 ~ When I try my partner's page, I get a "Sorry that page is not available" notice. Might this just be temporary?
March 31st, 2013
@kph129 oooops! Think it shld be @lynne5477 (Lynne with an e)
March 31st, 2013
@northy I have recently been matched with @3sixty5
March 31st, 2013
@dmdfday hi Diane... it may be possible to do a switcheroo... i'll look into it tomorrow (well, later today - it's already well after midnight!)
@3sixty5
March 31st, 2013
I'd love to join the next one!
March 31st, 2013
@morgandonner do you want to play this week? I can pair you up
March 31st, 2013
Sure!
March 31st, 2013

@northy I think my partner is MIA.
March 31st, 2013
@riverlandphotos oh dear... i really hoped this wouldn't start to happen so quickly! @allegresse does seem to post sporadically, but she does seem to have missed her last push so I will put her down as mia...

so... here's what we'll do:

@riverlandphotos you can pair up with @3sixty5 and
@dmdfday you can pair up with @sudweeks

hope that works out...
April 1st, 2013
@northy Hi I was paired with @jyokota a few weeks ago, can we swap? Cheers
April 1st, 2013
@northy... thank you northy... you are doing an amazing job. I love these get-pushed challenges
April 2nd, 2013
Hey @northy, do you think it's worth tagging all participants in the voting thread, so we all know when it's on? (And so more people vote!)
April 2nd, 2013
@northy, Please take me off beginning with week 38. I'll be out of pocket for 3-4 weeks. I'll give you a holler back when I have returned. Thanks for all your hard work with this....I know it must be a nightmare trying to keep it all straight.

Wildernesswillie's page is not available.
April 2nd, 2013

I noticed that @macdeafdog has not yet connected with his partner. Would that be a possible switch?
April 3rd, 2013
@degarvey hey De, when i click on his name his page comes up just fine...
April 3rd, 2013
@johnmnewman hi John... i'm afraid there's only one other person in search of a partner at the moment... you can wait a bit longer and see if anyone else shows up, but you might start to run out of time...
April 3rd, 2013
@shezza no reason why not
April 3rd, 2013
De
Coming up fine now! Thanks for checking.
April 3rd, 2013
I think I'm paired with another inactive member this week (@mariael)- she hasn't updated since March 21. It works out fine for me this week, as I am otherwise up to my eyeballs in work, but I just thought I'd let you know. Keep me on the list for next week :)
April 3rd, 2013
@northy Hey Northy - I'm doing 2 month-long challenges and am trying to tackle some other personal projects, so starting next week, I need to take a little break from get-pushed. I'm still going to do my push this week. But I'll let you know when I'm ready to start playing again after that. Thank you so much for keeping track of this all!
April 4th, 2013
De
Seems that my partner may be MIA. Any suggestions?
April 4th, 2013
I think my partner @dixon is on vacation and isn't getting too much internet access... I posted my challenge to them, but still haven't gotten anything in return.
April 4th, 2013
@degarvey disappointing!!! especially after just having done the housekeeping thread.... but i guess life happens...

ok - how about seeing if @morgandonner still wants to play this week?
April 4th, 2013
@emrob noted! tx for letting me know :)
April 4th, 2013
@rainechan ok - @degarvey is in the same boat, and i just suggested she pair up with @morgandonner if Morgan is interested... but maybe you could all 3 play together?
April 4th, 2013
I'm not creative... but does someone want to issue me a challenge?!
April 4th, 2013
@wwishfulthinking hey Melissa... maybe see if @rainechan @degarvey @morgandonner have organized any pushes amongst themselves and join in with them? i'll add you to the list for next week
April 4th, 2013
I can be @wwishfulthinking's partner. I haven't received any challenges yet, so I'll let the other two pair up. :)
April 4th, 2013
@northy Thanks! You don't have to add me to the list for next week... I just wanted to try this week for a challenge. [=
April 6th, 2013
@northy Just a note to say that I will not be able to do the next few Get Pushed Challenges (starting with 38) . I will contact you again when my schedule frees up and I can add it back in. I love these challenges and hate having to miss some.

Hope I'm not too late! I noticed that I have not been on the list the last couple of weeks. I wasn't to upset since I was going to be really busy, but I would like to get back on the list if that would be possible. Thanks
April 6th, 2013
@corgimom no problem... i'll include you for the pairings tomorrow...
April 6th, 2013
Thank you!
