Haunted Hive 2022

This event is now finished.


It’s that time of the year when you really need to put all thoughts of productive work and social obligations to one side and rally round to defend the Hive this Halloween! The invaders are ruthless, numerous and well-organized and will come in three successive waves. We need to fend them off or our home will be overrun!

This is a three-day event and the task is simple. Every 24 hours a new wave of monsters will arrive and a new challenge will be presented for us to rise up to. Fight off all monsters until the end of Halloween - October 31st.

Protocol
​

• Each monster requires a specific exercise to defeat it and a specific number of reps of that exercise.​
• Post your reps in the thread below and work together with others to keep track of the total so the monsters are defeated.​
• The reps you do will be added up and an updated number of remaining monster numbers to defeat will be posted in the thread below.​

... we will visit at a later point, Lyn

We have just the perfect workout to see off these ghosts with Jacks! My contribution to see off this last wave: 805 ghosts will not see the light of day this Halloween!

1000

 

[SkorpionUK]

100 step jacks, those ghosties were trying to keep me from Square One but we're not having that! No thank you!

 

[Laura Rainbow Dragon]

I cannot hurt a bat. Bats are amazing creatures who form an important part of Earth's ecosystems, and several of their species are endangered in my corner of the Hive.
Spiders too I generally try to escort out of the hive rather than kick them.
But ghosts I will help you to fight!

360 jacks from me + 360 jacks from Norma = 720 ghosts down.

 

[fluffydragon]
