We know barely more than you do about this site so we’ve come up with a few questions and answers that might help all of us! Seriously, some of this stuff is new to ME and I wrote the site! There’s a few things we’ve kept secret but mostly it’s all here. If there’s something you don’t find, ping us at the bottom and we’ll make something up to keep you quiet!
A Well it’s very simply a place where you can get a score and awards for everything you’ve done in your life AND as you do more stuff, you can check off more ‘tasks’ and get your score higher! We also have stories and blogs from people doing stuff round the world and you can even hurl abuse at my nephew Max… Just like what I will be doing!
A So there are these tasks… Thousands of the little blighters! When you read a task and realise “Holy Moly, I’ve done EXACTLY that!” You check off the task and we then give you some points for your heroism (It can be dangerous cooking a soufflé)! The more stuff you do, the bigger your score ALSO… The more diverse your tasks (spread across all the categories) the higher your score will be.
A There are several different types of tasks ranging from individual ones to tasks with bonus’s, lists and cumulative tasks! It’s all very complicated and it takes a MAHUSSIVE brain like mine to figure it all out so don’t you worry about it all!
A Come on… NOBODY lies on the internet! We look at it this way, if your score is being looked at by your family and friends then they will see where you’ve blatantly lied. If there’s nobody looking at your score then it really doesn’t matter! Remember, it’s just a bit of fun!
A It’s so when you upset us (which I know you will) we can find you more easily!! Seriously though, it’s just for the stats. The more people who give us lots of details THEN the more fun they stats are. ‘You are ranked 273rd in your town!’.
A No. Don’t be stupid! Take yourself off to the side and have a word!
A Yes you can! There’s a link in the ‘Tasks’ area. Click it, tell us your task idea, then give us a bloody good reason why we should use it! If we do use it, you’ll get credited on the task and then everyone in the world will know what you’ve done… Including your grandma!!
A I have friends who deserve to be honoured or shamed and so I put their names next to a task that reflects this! The ‘shamed’ list was WAY bigger! I think that reflects badly on me I guess!!
A All categories have ‘sub sections’ and some of these have bosses. These are people who are specialists or ‘professionals’ in these areas and so they’ve given me a bunch of tasks (because they think they’re better than what I is) and we’ve created their own area! You think you should be a BOSS! Ping us and we’ll judge your worthynessness… ness!
A The more tasks you have to tick off the better I guess!! Just do it systematically one category at a time and keep coming back until you’re all up to date! ‘Softly softly catchy monkey’! “I could catch a monkey, if I was starving!” Gareth you legend!
A No stress young ‘un. Have a look at our guides section and there’s loads of suggestions there for things you can do to help you get started ALSO at the top of every category there’s an ‘Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy’ sub-section with some simple stuff to get you started!
A Well, best thing to do would be to print out your certificate, put it in a nice frame and try to sneak it into The Louvre! Alternatively, print it out and glue it to the windshield of your friend’s car, facing inwards! Hang on, I’ve just been told that’s dangerous! WOW, you learn something new every day! OK, in the certificate page there’s lots of ways to share it!
A If you think people are going to want to read stuff about you then you’re welcome to start a blog! Go to the blog area and kick one off! We suggest you have a ‘goal’ for your blog. Something like “I’ve got 28 days to get my score up to 50,000 points!” And please… PLEASE try to be at least a little bit funny!
A Max is my nephew! He keeps laughing about how old, fat and ugly I am and as I’m not allowed to ACTUALLY torture him, the next best thing is telling him to do stuff on here that I know he won’t like! He keeps a blog and it gives me something to laugh at in between stuffing my face full of pies!
And cakes.
A This is very simple… I want this site to be free of people shouting and screaming about their political and social views! Let’s just have a wee bit of time off from that stuff. If I catch you, I’ll kick you off! Simples!
A On a Mac it’s ‘Command’ + ‘W’… Windows is ‘Control’ + ‘W’ and the best thing to do on your mobile device is lob it in the canal!! That saves us all a bunch of grief because something in the world doesn’t quite suit YOU… Boo hoo!
