HOW TO PLAY

1. We all start with two snowballs :snowball::snowball: each.

2. Tag someone using the @ and their name and throw a snowball or two at them!

3. Each snowball can be dodged by doing one jumping jack. Can't do jumping jacks? Do side jacks instead.

4. Each snowball you dodge gives you two snowballs in return.

5. You have 24 hours to dodge a snowball thrown at you.

6. The entire fight takes place on this thread.

7. Don't know who to tag? See who is online at the bottom of the forum!

8. Try to bring in as many people as you can to the snowfight.



It's ok not to respond to a tag. If you don't want to participate, just ignore the notification. Alternatively, you can go into the invisible mode - you can do it in your settings. Ready?... FIGHT! And don't forget to claim the SNOWFIGHT 2024 participation badge in your profile.

Wow, I might change over to the "burpees are more civilized" side. I just did a few jumping jacks here and there between getting the kitchen in order and preparing the girls' snack boxes. And lo and behold, I now have 288 snowballs. I'm going to chuck some at a few lovely people and use the rest to make a snug little fort.

So 10 to @harley's training - welcome to the snowfield!
10 to @AquaMarie - I know they're just going to melt but, you know; I have so many ;) Nice exit there!
20 to @Oksana - love your profile pic. I'm just going to assume this is your actual hairdo
10 to @coderofcodes to put in your spreadsheet
10 to @NancyTree - if you let them melt, let them melt and get your sleep
10 to @Sólveig :)
25 to @Antheia & Colossus - thank you for all the exercise you made me do today
25 to @FlowersandPetals - yep, those petals are made of steel, I can see that, so you can handle it
20 to @Syrius
25 to @WolfDreamer - is it personal yet?

So that was 165. I think. I'm going to go to sleep now - much needed after a crazy day yesterday and, for some reason, doing tons of jumping jacks today. So I'm going to curl up in my nice little snow fort of 123 (what a nice number!) and see what I'm going to do about the rest of you dears tomorrow.

:night:

Whelp, looks I have to call it a day early. Jumping jacks are deceptively hard and my body is saying no, lol. Gonna let my snowballs (and myself) melt and enjoy a hot bath and some hot tea today to recover.

Burpee-people are in a class of their own. I thought it was hard enough when waking up to 250 squats! This morning, however, (you lot were very busy last night!), it was only 241 jumping jacks - which means I have 482 snowballs to throw. Add in what I'd put in the freezer last night, and that's a total of 542 snowballs. :confused: So first I show my appreciation to those who sent to me, then I appreciate those who didn't! :tears:
I think I'll claim XP for all these - for my clapping hands missing the hanging Christmas decorations (okay, once I hit the star), and my jumping feet missing the dog who finally decided discretion was the better part of valour and went into his bed.

All of you talking bad about the Royal House of Burpee (YES, I DID A PUN, A PLAY ON WORDS ON HIS NAME, SUE ME! I DARE YOU! :snowball: ) and here I am, thinking how those 183 I got in the morning could've kickstarted my quest on getting to 1000 Burpees in a day.

Dodging 87 now. Not enough!

:snowball: x 10 @NightWolf714 @JohnStrong @Julian4077 @MRF @coderofcodes @Mamatigerj @Antheia & Colossus (let me help you to 1K!) @TopNotch @val.lavigne86 @GladiatorTrail @lpf @f1shie @Lady Shepherd @k4ts4 @beecurse

:snowball: x 24 @harley's training I'm giving you all of these so you can have some extra ammo.

Had a really rough day so it took me ages to actually open the thread.
Sooooo that's 188 snowballs to dodge :muahaha:
30 + 30 + 40 + 30 + 30 + 27
Oh and look, another one! +1

That makes, uhm, 376 to throw?

Since @Sólveig says she's not got enough snowballs to dodge, that's 176 :snowball: for you, my darling :heartsit:
(I am only sending you so many because I know you can do it and like to be challenged)

So that leaves 20 :snowball: each (because I am exhausted and thinking of more people requires too many spoons) to:
@Laura Rainbow Dragon (you're lovely!)
@Syrius (so are you!)
@f1shie (because I love you and I believe in you and so does Cooper)
@TopNotch (You can keep up, I know it!)
@Aldethar (returning volley, whooh!)
@WolfDreamer (you too I think. Or I just remembered you, and that's dangerous :p )
@Nevetharine (hello last year's lovely elf! So glad you're here for the festivities)
@Mamatigerj (I'm impressed you have energy left during the nap times and are not napping yourself!)
@coderofcodes (more cardio for you?)
@Damer (you're an important man, makes your name very easy to remember :p)
