Re-Start: Subs Share the Burden

[MarvHarvey]

This is a restart of the old thread at https://www.getdare.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=279068 which was getting a bit bogged down. The final list of tasks from there has been edited to start this thread.

1. What is this?

This is a list of tasks for subs to do and record against the totals assigned by doms. The objective is to complete tasks from each line. Anyone can participate by doing some or all of a task, then adding it to the amount completed.

2. How does it work / what to do / what count?

Subs simply decide what tasks they want to do, or some number of them, and record that amount completed against the total. You decide (or your personal dom decides for you) what to do.

If you do tasks for other threads or dares, you can also count them for this thread - so you count it without having to repeat it. This is very useful if you are active in other threads, and can help handle large tasks in a hurry!

SAMPLE:
If a sub does 2 of each of sample tasks like this,
5/29 edges outdoors (#337)
0/12 days wearing a thong (14 hour min)(#341)

They repost the list those and two get get posted like:
7/29 edges outdoors (#337)
2/100 hours hog tied while gagged (#339)
1/100 hours frog tied while gagged (#340)
2/12 days wearing a thong (14 hour min)(#341)

When a whole task is done, it is celebrated at the end of the line ##COMPLETE## for a post or two, before being removed by the next poster.

3. Who adds tasks?

New tasks are usually posted by doms, or the thread managers (kurious kat and MarvHarvey) trying to keep a balanced list. We usually have 20-40 tasks, but it will vary from time to time. Sometimes active subs will announce they are changing to dom for a while and post some tasks, but active subs may not post tasks.

Subs who return after posting tasks do not usually do more than 20%-40% of tasks they had posted unless the task has been up for a while and is not getting much action.

4. What kinds of tasks work best?

Plain tasks that are easy to describe usually work best. Look at current and past lists for examples. These can be kinky, painful, exercise, challenges, or just things to do (like housework - naked). Sometimes there are interesting combos, as long as they are not too unusual. Things that are too specific, or require an odd chain of events (for example: do pushups after spending one hour chatting on cam wearing a tutu) do not usually do well.

Small numbers are nice, because then tasks get completed, but sometimes large numbers can push subs to do lots and lots. Sometimes tasks are totals (0/400 lunges) or sets (0/20 sets of 20 lunges). Be creative, just think about whether it can and will be done by others.

If a task is getting no action over a long period of time, the thread managers may remove.

5. Questions

Questions are usually posted to the thread, and will be answered by Marv or k-kat, or other veteran members, when they see them.
