as a reminder (not that i think anyone needs it - but just in case it's useful :D)...
some folks don't post much on the weekends, post in clumps (ie: 3 or 4 days of shots in one go) or are at a point in their project when they only post a few times a week... soooo - if your partner doesn't get back to you right away, or appears to be a few days behind, please give it a day or so before asking for a new partner...
i am not a techie and have no way to come up with a program that will prevent repeat pairings from occurring... sometimes it's easy enough to switch out, but not always... so if you end up with someone you've been partnered with before, consider it an opportunity to kick it up a notch now that you kinda know each other, or, y'know for revenge (did they make you do a high key selfie? spend hours trying to figure out how to get a water drop shot? shoot in colour?? ;p)... just sayin'
and, as always, if i left you off by mistake (or left you in by mistake!), misspelt your name or otherwise mucked things up, please let me know...
-- Saturday / Sunday, October 6th and 27th - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday October 28th thru Sunday November 3rd - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-67, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, November 4th - the winner of week 66 will pick 5 finalists for a vote
IF YOU NEED TO BOW OUT AFTER THE PAIRINGS HAVE BEEN POSTED please let me know in this thread AND please tag your partner... that way they know not to peruse your album, and if someone else pops up looking for a partner before i have a chance to check in, they will be able to sort things out themselves :)
*************************************************************************
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-67
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.
@northy hi sorry to be a pain but me and Nicola were paired up for lady weeks challenge and it says we have each other again x I don't mind giving her another challenge if she doesn't http://365project.org/nicolaeastwood
Hello I also got paired up with the same partner from last week. @happysnapper65 I don't mind being your partner again but if you want to switch that would work for me too!
@northy hi northy, i need to bow out this week... and for a number of weeks ahead. will you take me off the list for now and i'll let you know when i'm able to join again? thanks!
@3rdxoff hi, i'm sorry i have to bow out this week. it looks like someone else posted a challenge for you, though? not sure. hope it works out. :) L
@lindseying@northy No worries; I have a very busy week ahead of me, so I am going to work on catching up on my project and landscape theme I received late last week.
Hi @northy ,
My partner this week { @mej2011 } hasnt posted since Oct 8th and already has two previous challenges on that photo... I will wait till next week for a new partner.. Just wanted to let you know.. Have a great week xx
@mrsbaldy@northy
If no partner shows up, I can still issue a challenge. I just have no motivation to do them myself these days. I'm still logging on/looking/commenting everyday, so let me know if I should issue or not.
@mej2011 You issue very fun challenges but I think part of the fun is also seeing what your partner does with the challenge you give them. When my partner doesn't do them in return it is a bit disappointing. Perhaps you may want to take a break from these particular challenges since your not planning on doing them yourself. Just my thought.
@northy just want to thank you again for organising this and in general the oomph you give to the community, clever organised and talented you are.
My year is just about up and what a help theses challenges have been, but now it's time for me stop playing games haha. Please take me off the list for next week and beyond, well at least until I get a second wind. Thanks again lady
@northy thanks so much for organizing these challenges - I've enjoyed them, and they've kept me going for the past few weeks. I hit the wall this week though, and missed yesterday, so am going to go ahead and stop. Please remove me from the list :)
@mej2011 Melissa... i've been debating how best to respond to this... i don't want to create a bunch of rules associated with this challenge - i think that gets in the way of creativity... and i don't want to police it either... i do agree with Kathy, tho, that for many i think the fun is in the partnership and that folks like to know how their challenge was interpreted... but then i expect some are happy to just have something new or different to try... anyway - i will leave it up to you to let me know if you want to stay on the list or come off for a bit...
