Furret : Congrats on getting rainbow tho at this point seems kinda normal with you having rainbow at some point during every tdv. xD I like how yesterday I said that I wouldn't be able to win blue cause I can't post 30+ times a day then you somehow win it with 11 guess I'll have to make more of a push from now on.

Furret takes the lead.

Safe to say I've dropped. Burnout is real, especially since there's like four competitors total - I'd definitely be competing more if it wasn't just a competition between 2-3 people toward the end of the night. I'll do enough to keep my grey and maybe I'll try to keep yellow but I'm done besides that.

Good luck to everyone else.

Minuano : Sucks to see you quit because I wanted you to win but I can't say I blame you pacing yourself in tour de vizzed is near impossible at times but I also guess that I'm part of the reason you are burnt out so I can't really talk.

Once more scoring for three jerseys, and this time scoring also in Blue. Quite the good performance I'd say.

We'll see how many more points can I score during the coming days. My goal is 1800 total points by the end of the competition, which seems quite feasible, so let's keep working for it.

I'm now second for Grey, which is quite amazing. I doubt I'll beat Min to it, but it's good to see that I can keep up with the competition, so maybe my time will come in January.

Yeah not going to lie I'm feeling the toll this is taking already and we're on day 8. I'll probably convince myself to tough it out this month and then indefinitely retire myself.

It's the posting for me really. I can do the CP jerseys fine since I can do other things or talk to people or whatever in the mean time but to sit there day in and day out scrambling to find places to post in when it's been dead quiet and still trying to put effort into your posts is really draining.

It's always a little disheartening to see people lose steam and drop out but I honestly get it. Wish I had the guts to just walk away midway through but I don't at the moment so the best way for me to convince myself I'm done is to have one last hurrah this month. Might pop in here and there for a few days during other TdVs when I feel like it but yeah.

If the TdV of all things can't generate activity in the forums anymore it might be time to look at other options and different priorities.

Part of the reason there's burnout is there's little in the way of topic refreshment. It's the same discussions over and over.

I have only experienced burnout twice in my entire time on Vizzed. The first time was sometime before I stepped down from global, after making 20k posts within two years, basically. And that was understandable, since my burnout wasn't just related to posting.

The second time was sometime after I returned as a semi-retired poster in 2014/15. I posted for a month and got burned out by a lack of topics that I didn't create myself. Even today, most of my posts are revolved around my own content.

There needs to be more avenues of discussion, or burnout is going to happen.

Less competition will also drive burnout, because you find yourself talking to yourself a lot, and that's just not fun. Forums are fun when people interact with each other. And that's just not what this place is most of the time anymore. Just a sign of what the internet, by and large, is becoming.

Looking at everything right now I might actually win more than one jersey today after saying like a day ago I wouldn't man I'm so good at predicting what I'm going to do during TDV all I know is I'm not going for the win that would be far too much effort to win a 2nd in a row for me right now but I am reconsidering setting my sights on blue.

SonicOlmstead grabs 3 Jerseys.

It's nice to see that I keep scoring points everyday I'm active. Such a shame I won't be active every single day of the month, I wonder if I should probably change that fact...

I'm on a good pace for my HoF goals, so I may stick to this pace. I'll need to increase it a bit if I end up not being active a few days, so I better start working on one or more secret weapons that can give me the points I need to balance out some bad or inactive days.

Numbers have dropped a bit by this end of the first third of the competition, but still there's people showing good performances for the jerseys that keep this somewhat alive. I hope the weekend can give us a small boost, it'd be a shame if we went downhill already from here.

I guess I'm on track to increase my lead which is nice I suppose but feels kind of empty not going to lie.

I'm not sure what my purpose is this month jersey wise. I do really well in Red and then I just score high in everything else but it'd be nicer to have a goal or something to work towards when it comes to those.

Minuano despite dropping out of the race for now is still in a comfy spot for gray and I'm sure will continue defending that banner if he needs to. His username looks kind of sexy *blush*

Sonic seems to be having fun the past few days so hope he can keep it up this month.

SonicOlmstead grabs another 3 Jerseys.

Welp, even yesterday I managed to keep my pace of scoring enough for my long time goals. This truly gives me wings to score big on select days if I go down for a try.

Let's see if I can do better today, I have more free time so hopefully it will translate into higher results. And hopefully nothing much will happen during my sleep after a hard working day lol

Furret : Yeah I've felt fresh the past few days at posting and doing green it's been a lot more fun then I was having up to this point before can't tell yet today how I'm doing with posting but I guess the more I try the more I'll tell lol.

Oh no! I dropped out of the top 10. That's what happens when you get points on 1 out of 9 days and only 4 at that

It was hard to be motivated though when I realized that I wasn't going to be able to win the grey veteran jersey. That's all I wanted

Graph is starting to look pretty unique. I don't know about anyone else but I've always loved the graph a lot, it's really interesting to see how the month has gone and how standings changed day in day out.

I'm still happily cruising and it seems to be working but kind of lame. At least I'm confident I can win Red for the 4th TdV in a row. Pretty neat I guess.



SonicOlmstead : Time will tell I guess.

Today posting wasn't so bad for me either but it's probably because I barely did lmao. Nice to hear green is going well for you. I could honestly compete way more in that one than I currently do but it's very tedious work and I don't have the drive to do that all month lmao

SonicOlmstead and Furret grab 2 Jerseys each.

Well, my awesome attempt yesterday at doing something ended up with some valuable points. A few more days like these and I could balance out what I can miss the next weekend.

It's getting progressively harder to score in Yellow without actually aiming to if you just post around. Making threads with decent (and justified) length seems to be the best weapon unless you can find a thread where you can make a lengthy reply without drifting off-topic.

Anyway, I'll try to rack up some more points today and keep building up the gap I need. If numbers can stay a bit higher like this during the weekend it will be a good sight too.

I seem to really struggle today finding topics to post on and even when I find them I don't have a lot to say so maybe I'm feeling a bit of burn out but oh well I gotta live up to my profile saying I won't stop till the end or something like that. I'll never understand how some people could do like 50 posts a day for an extended period of days I've never been able to do it even once.

Despite all the TdVs I've done I don't think I've had the fire combination that many times. I usually got Red/Green not Red/Yellow. Kind of odd but I've always liked this combo so I'm good. Realistically I think any 2 jersey combo looks good except Blue/Yellow, that one is ugly. Yellow/Green is questionable but not too bad.

If everything goes well I'll probably hit 200 points after tomorrow which is nice. Just need to keep defending the lead I have right now while simultaneously trying not to lose my mind.
