That would be just about acceptable. I'd prefer it if you threw a fourth or fifth move into that combination though.

Could I do something else in a different place instead of adding to the sequence?

It really needs to be one sequence. Isn't there something you can hang/swing off? Or perhaps throw a kickflip off a wall into it?

Not really, where I'm thinking of doing it is a big open space so there benches every so often but no walls.

You may have to pick another spot then, or bring objects into the scene. If it's just a jump over a bench then a roll it's more of a one off stunt rather than Parkour.

Okay, so the desktop challenge. I decided my theme would be - albums that John Frusciante has played on.

Day 1


Day 2


Day 3


Day 4


Day 5


Most of these didn't really work as desktops but WHAT THE HELL.

Also, I flipped my guitar over the other day and attempted to play it left handed. I managed to wrestle a C chord out of it but it wasn't easy.

Task GET?

As long as you hit that C Chord, it's a Task GET!

I tried to play Half The World Away but it appears that I can't barre with my right hand to save my life so the F was not forthcoming.

Oh well.

Why have you hidden the time on all of them other than the last one?

You didn't happen to just do them all now did you? And the time would give it away...

This is a first, isn't it?

What a scandal!

A man who'd lie about his wallpapers - why, such a fiend could be capable of anything.

Sorry guys. I've let you down, I've let the forum down, and I've let myself down.

I can only hope that Taskmaster won't cast me out of this competition for my horrible, horrible lapse of judgement.

Trust one of them to do this.

Can I get bonus points for snitching?

Just broke the 3k barrier, think I'll leave it at that.

Never in the history of Tasks of the Week has such a scandal disgraced the competition. I am practically speechless at JK's heinous actions. This man. This Task Prodigy, who set the early pace at the top of the leaderboard for weeks. I refuse to be made a fool of with such deceptions.

How can I now trust him? How? As punishment, he will be banned from completing the Desktop Task, thereby cock-blocking him from getting bonus points. That is, unless he physically recreates each album cover scene from his desktop selection with real life photos of himself.

Sorry mate, no-one likes a snitch.

JK! Trying to cheat points, while poor Ryan0rz can't even participate in the wallpaper task due to windows being a dick! SICKENING!

I can't say I'm not a little bit tempted...

I don't believe that statement is true.

Let me support it with some evidence. I'll refer you to Cal's post in this topic: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=12984&p=860350#p860350

8. Who is your favourite forumite of all time?
Peter Crisp, Eighthours, Stu, MCN, Rik, Garth, Denny... Too difficult to choose

Amongst his favourite forumites we have Mr MCN. This suggests that Cal likes MCN. And we all know MCN is like Mr King Snitch.

Therefore I conclude that you are wrong in saying that "No-one likes a snitch".


yeah
