My challenge to you... Urza Send a noteboard - 23/03/2011 06:39:06 AM
But uh yeah trying to increase the number would be an interesting challenge, or should I say scavenger hunt. Someone should do it and then write a book. Every chapter will be about a different apostle. In the process, no contact with non apostles or with apostles that are extraneous, that should make it exciting!



The rules as follows.

You have 3 months.

You have to gain knowledge of 11 out of the 12 apostles

The 12th apostle (Judas) is a bonus. If you learn of him you win instantly. (Has to actually be named Judas not some variation there of)

Jesus is a bonus, if you get him you get an extra month in which to complete the challenge.

Since the apostles are good innocent men of god and this is a challenge of corruption you can not initiate any encounter, but must somehow cause them to initiate.

You may not do this by informing them of the challenge

Becouse I'm a horrible tease and it was your idea no contact with non apostles. Once you have known an apostle during the course of the challenge you may encounter him as often as you like.

I bet you cant pull it off.

Which apostles of Jesus Christ have you known? In the biblical sense, of course. Vivien - 23/03/2011 04:52:48 AM 1591 Views
About as close as I can get it is a Mary *NM* random thoughts - 23/03/2011 04:55:10 AM 284 Views
Yeah... Inequality and discrimination is so annoying! Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:10:48 AM 645 Views
most of them don't even have decent female versions to use *NM* random thoughts - 23/03/2011 01:10:15 PM 302 Views
Slutty. I like it *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:10:03 AM 335 Views
lol, how many apostles do you think is slutty? *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:11:37 AM 401 Views
Depends. How many you been with? *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:12:28 AM 389 Views
My answer. Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:14:54 AM 878 Views
Oh prude! 12 would have been a much sexier answer *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:19:45 AM 1297 Views
Where is the line between prude and slut? *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:34:57 AM 389 Views
Sorry, trade secret. *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:37:46 AM 406 Views

My challenge to you... Urza - 23/03/2011 06:39:06 AM 753 Views
You don't get to give me challenges. Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:09:10 PM 697 Views
Of course I do Urza - 23/03/2011 08:34:29 PM 623 Views
I think it's related to statistical significance. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:55:26 AM 381 Views
Also, 12 would mean that there was a Judas. Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:56:59 AM 612 Views
oh man, i gotta remember dude's names? temeraire - 23/03/2011 05:44:06 AM 872 Views
What do you mean, "maybe"? Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:46:54 AM 847 Views
Yeah, you're winning so far. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:54:16 AM 408 Views
You know, Joshua and Jesus are the same name. Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 06:54:52 AM 716 Views
Good point. Joshua/Josh counts. *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:55:11 PM 414 Views
How can they have English names, when English didn't even exist yet!?! *NM* ironclad - 23/03/2011 08:56:09 AM 411 Views
God must be a forward thinker. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 09:34:07 AM 289 Views
Well he is omniscient, and he loved Evangelical Baptists above all. It makes sense. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:56:05 AM 385 Views
Different ethnic versions of the names are fine. *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:12:18 PM 389 Views
Joshua = Jesus. According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal beetnemesis - 24/03/2011 10:08:27 PM 644 Views
Because cleary, God is a Brit. Michael - 24/03/2011 12:40:28 PM 683 Views
My response. Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:53:06 AM 778 Views
1.5 nossy - 23/03/2011 02:43:46 PM 789 Views
Why? Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:15:23 PM 705 Views
lol, I'm sorry, that just got a lot funnier than I had expected it to. nossy - 23/03/2011 03:25:38 PM 876 Views
Then it doesn't count. Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:53:55 PM 763 Views
Have a John is better than none...? *MN* Joel - 27/03/2011 03:42:09 AM 655 Views
Half a John, hahaha. Classic *NM* ironclad - 23/03/2011 03:55:37 PM 386 Views

*NM* snoopcester - 24/03/2011 12:00:03 PM 386 Views
In a strictly Biblical sense, it's the men who do the "knowing" and women who are "known". *NM* Tom - 23/03/2011 10:20:34 PM 369 Views
"How many apostles have known you?" Fantastic. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 11:05:25 PM 406 Views
LOL. *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:12:21 AM 388 Views
Do women get to know anything then? *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:25:24 AM 359 Views
Can they know themselves? *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:31:24 AM 411 Views
Good question. According to Biblical scholar Richard Elliott Friedman: Tom - 24/03/2011 01:36:56 PM 738 Views
That seems over simplified in a few areas, though I've always agreed with the, er, "main thrust". Joel - 27/03/2011 05:13:14 AM 929 Views
What a terribly thought-out and absolutely groundless response you have shat out. Tom - 28/03/2011 05:56:56 AM 936 Views
Next time I'm defending you against charges of elitism remind me to forget this exchange. Joel - 28/03/2011 08:38:10 PM 537 Views
I never asked you to defend me against charges of elitism; I am an elitist. Tom - 29/03/2011 12:55:12 AM 954 Views
Hahaha, no kidding. *NM* Vivien - 29/03/2011 03:56:43 AM 273 Views
Then I'll have to settle for hoping you're not as representative of RAFO as some fear. Joel - 31/03/2011 10:06:34 PM 720 Views
Oh, did I offend you? Please let me continue to do so. Tom - 03/04/2011 05:24:25 AM 892 Views
Also, John and Jonathan are not the same name. Tom - 24/03/2011 02:48:49 AM 618 Views
Well Tom, if you've *been known* by both a John and a Jonathan, my hat's off to you. Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:11:49 AM 644 Views
I have come into the world, but the world has known me not. Tom - 24/03/2011 01:43:36 PM 719 Views
Nice *NM* Vivien - 25/03/2011 10:19:37 PM 376 Views
Which is why "Johnathan", "Jonathon" and the like are such abominable names. *NM* Legolas - 25/03/2011 07:41:02 PM 397 Views
I hate it when people of the same ethnicity have different spellings of essentially the same name. *NM* Vivien - 25/03/2011 10:20:32 PM 404 Views
Алина, Алена, Елена really bothers me Tom - 25/03/2011 11:42:56 PM 740 Views
Americans still have that "official name vs. everyday-use name" thing to a very large degree. Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:08:26 AM 815 Views
Germans do it. Tom - 26/03/2011 12:20:21 AM 657 Views
I think you'll find they do it rather less these days. Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:31:54 AM 762 Views
I think you may be misunderstanding the concept of nicknames. Ghavrel - 26/03/2011 04:17:09 PM 631 Views
Is it me, or are your first and last sentence in direct contradiction of each other? Legolas - 26/03/2011 04:55:33 PM 758 Views
Possibly; I don't know what their parents intended. Ghavrel - 29/03/2011 01:41:32 AM 579 Views
I have known people who did it random thoughts - 29/03/2011 05:41:32 PM 581 Views
Actually, all Slavic languages do it extensively. Tom - 26/03/2011 12:29:39 AM 701 Views
My experience with Slavic languages is extremely limited, but... Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:44:19 AM 580 Views
But "Tom" isn't a proper name. Tom - 26/03/2011 01:53:38 PM 666 Views
For a lot of people it is. Legolas - 26/03/2011 04:52:57 PM 804 Views
Hoi polloi do a lot of idiotic things. Tom - 26/03/2011 04:58:46 PM 736 Views
Oh that's not that bad! Vivien - 26/03/2011 03:48:05 PM 712 Views
Well, you're in luck! Tom - 26/03/2011 04:52:18 PM 627 Views
But I can't! Vivien - 26/03/2011 05:13:20 PM 593 Views
Sure you can Tom - 26/03/2011 05:56:10 PM 636 Views
But... Vivien - 28/03/2011 07:28:17 PM 755 Views
But "Anya" only has a meaning as a short form of Anna. Tom - 29/03/2011 05:29:33 PM 558 Views
So you wouldn't love me anymore if you found out my given name was Bobby? Joel - 27/03/2011 05:18:19 AM 761 Views
I don't mind it if the alternative spelling is at least somewhat current. Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:03:54 AM 764 Views
I love how as long as you're around I don't have to point out stuff like this. Joel - 27/03/2011 03:26:04 AM 742 Views

Re: I guess I haven't gone the apostle route TaskmasterJack - 24/03/2011 09:59:17 PM 643 Views
Are there more Peters, or are Peters more likely to get laid? *NM* Helene - 25/03/2011 06:08:51 AM 400 Views
Re: Are there more Peters, or are Peters more likely to get laid? Aeryn - 25/03/2011 11:10:47 AM 742 Views
I had no idea! Helene - 26/03/2011 04:28:06 PM 728 Views
The entire English-speaking world, generally Tom - 26/03/2011 04:55:01 PM 627 Views
I know a lot of words for male genetalia, but I'd simply never heard Peter... weird. *NM* Helene - 26/03/2011 05:51:56 PM 396 Views
I've never heard Peter as a word for penis. Rebekah - 26/03/2011 06:00:12 PM 642 Views
Really? There's a whole off color joke built around that in The World According to Garp. Joel - 27/03/2011 03:53:57 AM 792 Views
It's never too late! *NM* Vivien - 25/03/2011 06:42:01 PM 382 Views
Ah, I'm probably going to be known by only one man for the rest of my life Helene - 26/03/2011 04:27:41 PM 684 Views
Well then maybe it is too late *NM* Vivien - 26/03/2011 05:25:46 PM 322 Views
Yeah, most likely :-) it's actually quite nice to be honest. *NM* Helene - 26/03/2011 05:52:37 PM 408 Views
Just Magdalene, sorry, and she only counts if you're a Gnostic or Neo-Gnostic. Joel - 27/03/2011 03:23:58 AM 656 Views
Best I can do Bad Ash - 28/03/2011 07:01:17 AM 760 Views
