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 1791 Views
About as close as I can get it is a Mary *NM* random thoughts - 23/03/2011 04:55:10 AM 364 Views
Yeah... Inequality and discrimination is so annoying! Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:10:48 AM 835 Views
most of them don't even have decent female versions to use *NM* random thoughts - 23/03/2011 01:10:15 PM 382 Views
Slutty. I like it *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:10:03 AM 414 Views
lol, how many apostles do you think is slutty? *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:11:37 AM 479 Views
Depends. How many you been with? *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:12:28 AM 483 Views
My answer. Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:14:54 AM 1071 Views
Oh prude! 12 would have been a much sexier answer *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:19:45 AM 1385 Views
Where is the line between prude and slut? *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:34:57 AM 488 Views
Sorry, trade secret. *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:37:46 AM 481 Views
Darn! Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:44:33 AM 1036 Views
My challenge to you... Urza - 23/03/2011 06:39:06 AM 927 Views
You don't get to give me challenges. Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:09:10 PM 886 Views
Of course I do Urza - 23/03/2011 08:34:29 PM 810 Views
I think it's related to statistical significance. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:55:26 AM 453 Views
Also, 12 would mean that there was a Judas. Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:56:59 AM 808 Views
oh man, i gotta remember dude's names? temeraire - 23/03/2011 05:44:06 AM 1049 Views
What do you mean, "maybe"? Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:46:54 AM 1039 Views
Yeah, you're winning so far. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:54:16 AM 476 Views
You know, Joshua and Jesus are the same name. Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 06:54:52 AM 892 Views
Good point. Joshua/Josh counts. *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:55:11 PM 493 Views
How can they have English names, when English didn't even exist yet!?! *NM* ironclad - 23/03/2011 08:56:09 AM 495 Views
God must be a forward thinker. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 09:34:07 AM 376 Views
Well he is omniscient, and he loved Evangelical Baptists above all. It makes sense. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:56:05 AM 471 Views
Different ethnic versions of the names are fine. *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:12:18 PM 470 Views
Joshua = Jesus. According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal beetnemesis - 24/03/2011 10:08:27 PM 837 Views
Because cleary, God is a Brit. Michael - 24/03/2011 12:40:28 PM 868 Views
My response. Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:53:06 AM 962 Views
1.5 nossy - 23/03/2011 02:43:46 PM 960 Views
Why? Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:15:23 PM 895 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 1060 Views
Then it doesn't count. Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:53:55 PM 966 Views
Have a John is better than none...? *MN* Joel - 27/03/2011 03:42:09 AM 835 Views
Half a John, hahaha. Classic *NM* ironclad - 23/03/2011 03:55:37 PM 466 Views
*NM* TaskmasterJack - 24/03/2011 01:34:40 AM 421 Views
*NM* snoopcester - 24/03/2011 12:00:03 PM 472 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 444 Views
"How many apostles have known you?" Fantastic. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 11:05:25 PM 479 Views
LOL. *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:12:21 AM 476 Views
Do women get to know anything then? *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:25:24 AM 430 Views
Can they know themselves? *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:31:24 AM 498 Views
Good question. According to Biblical scholar Richard Elliott Friedman: Tom - 24/03/2011 01:36:56 PM 945 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 1121 Views
What a terribly thought-out and absolutely groundless response you have shat out. Tom - 28/03/2011 05:56:56 AM 1140 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 774 Views
I never asked you to defend me against charges of elitism; I am an elitist. Tom - 29/03/2011 12:55:12 AM 1155 Views
Hahaha, no kidding. *NM* Vivien - 29/03/2011 03:56:43 AM 360 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 1008 Views
Oh, did I offend you? Please let me continue to do so. Tom - 03/04/2011 05:24:25 AM 1094 Views
Also, John and Jonathan are not the same name. Tom - 24/03/2011 02:48:49 AM 797 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 826 Views
I have come into the world, but the world has known me not. Tom - 24/03/2011 01:43:36 PM 924 Views
Nice *NM* Vivien - 25/03/2011 10:19:37 PM 465 Views
Which is why "Johnathan", "Jonathon" and the like are such abominable names. *NM* Legolas - 25/03/2011 07:41:02 PM 468 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 490 Views
Алина, Алена, Елена really bothers me Tom - 25/03/2011 11:42:56 PM 914 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 1020 Views
Germans do it. Tom - 26/03/2011 12:20:21 AM 842 Views
I think you'll find they do it rather less these days. Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:31:54 AM 965 Views
I think you may be misunderstanding the concept of nicknames. Ghavrel - 26/03/2011 04:17:09 PM 832 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 946 Views
Possibly; I don't know what their parents intended. Ghavrel - 29/03/2011 01:41:32 AM 766 Views
I have known people who did it random thoughts - 29/03/2011 05:41:32 PM 763 Views
Actually, all Slavic languages do it extensively. Tom - 26/03/2011 12:29:39 AM 890 Views
My experience with Slavic languages is extremely limited, but... Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:44:19 AM 769 Views
But "Tom" isn't a proper name. Tom - 26/03/2011 01:53:38 PM 867 Views
For a lot of people it is. Legolas - 26/03/2011 04:52:57 PM 997 Views
Hoi polloi do a lot of idiotic things. Tom - 26/03/2011 04:58:46 PM 945 Views
Oh that's not that bad! Vivien - 26/03/2011 03:48:05 PM 899 Views
Well, you're in luck! Tom - 26/03/2011 04:52:18 PM 821 Views
But I can't! Vivien - 26/03/2011 05:13:20 PM 771 Views
Sure you can Tom - 26/03/2011 05:56:10 PM 833 Views
But... Vivien - 28/03/2011 07:28:17 PM 938 Views
But "Anya" only has a meaning as a short form of Anna. Tom - 29/03/2011 05:29:33 PM 760 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 955 Views
I don't mind it if the alternative spelling is at least somewhat current. Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:03:54 AM 946 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 942 Views

Re: I guess I haven't gone the apostle route TaskmasterJack - 24/03/2011 09:59:17 PM 821 Views
Are there more Peters, or are Peters more likely to get laid? *NM* Helene - 25/03/2011 06:08:51 AM 480 Views
Re: Are there more Peters, or are Peters more likely to get laid? Aeryn - 25/03/2011 11:10:47 AM 904 Views
I had no idea! Helene - 26/03/2011 04:28:06 PM 933 Views
The entire English-speaking world, generally Tom - 26/03/2011 04:55:01 PM 824 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 476 Views
I've never heard Peter as a word for penis. Rebekah - 26/03/2011 06:00:12 PM 835 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 956 Views
It's never too late! *NM* Vivien - 25/03/2011 06:42:01 PM 463 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 875 Views
Well then maybe it is too late *NM* Vivien - 26/03/2011 05:25:46 PM 416 Views
Yeah, most likely :-) it's actually quite nice to be honest. *NM* Helene - 26/03/2011 05:52:37 PM 487 Views
Just Magdalene, sorry, and she only counts if you're a Gnostic or Neo-Gnostic. Joel - 27/03/2011 03:23:58 AM 847 Views
Best I can do Bad Ash - 28/03/2011 07:01:17 AM 950 Views
