Firstly I’d like to thank you for creating conquered self. Without it I wouldn’t be where I am today. So thank you @PierceFranklin.
Secondly I’d like to make a proposal.
I think the layout of this website is great and the community spirit is excellent, however I’d like to propose a change.
In the first few wars I had, I would be KIA and then I’d go into a spiral of relapse where I’d relapse and PMO every day and I felt terrible until the next war came along. Then I’d try again. The process would continue and I would always spiral into a downward spiral after being KIA.
This is why I’d like to propose a different system. I believe counting is very bad because let’s say you hit a 30 day streak and then you die, you have to start again. You lose all the motivation because it’s as though you are at square one again, when in reality you aren’t.
That’s why I’d like to propose a casualties system, wherein if you use PMO, you report casualty but you don’t die completely you aren’t out. Of course there will be rewards for people who don’t use PMO the whole time, but it means that people can recognise that in 49 days they only PMO’d x amount of times, let’s say 5. Now that is a massive achievement and is much less than they had before where it would have been 49/49 days. So obviously it would make the system more complicated, however I truly believe that it is a step forward from what it is now and the multitudes of people who die in the first few days will regret what they did and have an urge to get a lower percentage of day’s PMO’d. I strongly believe it is about the mindset and that will encourage people to continue on their journey.
Thanks.
Nick
