Are you a nerd?
Are you a slob?
Do you have a girly screen name on Team Liquid?

If you answered any of these questions, there's only one thing can salvage your life

BUFFCRAFT! HUAH!

You see, I know a lotta y'all wanna spread the word of e-sports, but how you gonna get taken seriously if you look like the sterotypical gaming nerd. Y'aint, t's how.

In order for our fandom to be taken seriously by today's materialist culture, we must be more than devoted, funny, and all around cool people. The Starcraft 2 fandom must be known o'er the land as the fandom with the

ROCK!

HARD!

ABS!


Huah!

Rules


When you're a real man (or real woman, as they case may be. Muscles are not a patriarchy, they're a pec-riachry), you make your own rules. Here's what they are:

1. You gotta ladder, bro. How you gonna be taken serious as a Starcraft 2 player if you don't ladder. That's common sense.
2. When you win a game, reward yourself by doing a manly act of your choice. Flex! Punch something! Headbutt a tree! What matters is that you stay pumped
3. But when you LOOOOOSE, that's when you need to earn back the right to play.
3a. If you lose a macro game, you need to do 10 crunches OR 10 jumping jacks OR ten push-ups
3b. If you lose to cheese, you need to do 25 crunches, jumping jacks, OR push-ups
3c. If you yourself are the cheeser and still you lose, you must do 30 crunches, jumping jacks, or push-ups
4. After payin' your dues, you can rest if you feel you feel you need to. Play when you're ready, don't actually hurt yourself. We don't judge you...out loud.
5. If you wanna keep track of your weight-loss and share the results with the thread, fucking go for it, bro. If you want to keep it to yourself, that is also dude. The goal is self-improvement through self-indudement.
6. Buffcraft is not a substitute for an actual exercise regime. I'm not a doctah. Go see one before starting this program if you feel the need, due a medical condition, pregnancy, or anything like that.

Remember, the most important rule is to get a little healthier and manlier (or womanlier!) while having fun playing Starcraft 2. Anything in accordance with that rule is not only allowed, but encouraged. You think you can have more fun adding "flex and then yell" at 50 food in your build order. Fucking do it. You wanna ladder dressed as David Coverdale from the band Whitesnake? Huah!

And if you get flex and crunch your way to Masters, then you're just goddamn winning at everything.


EDITED:

A lot of y'all in the thread thing that the Buffcraft regime is insufficiently masculine. I'm proud of you for recognizing that more can be done. You wanna participate, and you think you can handle MORE than the vanilla pansy-ass version of Buffcraft. Post your alternative regimen in the thread, and keep us updated as you step up further. But remember, lying causes your secondary sexual organs to shrink to the size of raisins. And nobody likes raisins.

Win: Having crushed my enemy and seeing him driven before me, I imagine the lamentations of his women.
Lose a macro game: 25 crunches. 25 jumping jacks
Lose to cheese: 25 crunches, 25 jumping jacks, 10 push-ups
Fail at committing cheese: 25 crunches, 25 jumping jacks, 20 push-ups. However, Ribbon does not cheese, and thus never has to face this punishment.

This is an awesome idea! Sign me up :D

To be fair though, I already take breaks after games (loses/wins) to exercise.

If I lose I generally prefer to eat some chips, drink some non-diet soda, than smoke a cigarette, but I guess I could give working out a try.

I think the jumping jack penalty should be greater than the crunches and crunches should be greater than push-ups. I mean lets be honest, 10 jumping jacks or 10 crunches aren't really going to do anything

I'm so doing this. I used to be boss at pushups but now I can't do them for crap. And it will be 25 pushups/crunches minimum. 10 is for pansies.

Awesome! I generally did this over break since I was pigging out. If I won a game, I did 15. If I lost, I did 20. If I tried to cheese and fail, I repped out.
