The following challenge was originally authored by @someBody13. This is our attempt to continue this great initiative started by him. The introductory passage, Gentleman Codex and Rules have been adopted from his challenge: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Noblesse Oblige
Brothers, Sisters, Gentlefolk of all shapes and sizes!
At some point in life of this community the League of Gentlemen used to be one of the most active threads, gathering plenty of us and helping us push through. I used it myself - I reported daily for 18 days in order to get into its ranks, and then I continued on to a month, a season, almost a year. First it was the group that helped me. Then, I wanted to help the group and keep it up.
Thus, as I reach my 18th day as a gentleman, I want to reinstate this challenge as the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
We will start with a simple rule (ammended due to a possible misunderstandings) - You start at 0, no matter what is your CS. You keep on reporting for 18 days and go back to 0 if you relapse. However, if you succeed to keep up from 0 to 18, you can count yourself among the Extraordinary Gentlemen. From that point on, Your actual streak goes to the leaderboard, not the reported time.
Maybe this will grow back, maybe it will stay small - but let us keep this not as a challenge per se, but as a group of support - anyone who wants to become a gentleman can come here and seek help from those who already got there. And those who are among the Extraordinary Gentlemen Can keep on going, bringing support by leading the way and paving the path.

Gentleman Codex
- Every body has a person inside. This very person deserves recognition and dignity. Keep this in mind!
- Every day may be your last - so live it the way you would like to leave this life!
- Growth needs humility - you start to learn after you admit you donโt know what to do.
- Every second is precious - so make use of as many as you can! But donโt beat yourself if you donโt - nobody every did.
- Find your principles. Try your best to follow them. If you fail to do so, you loose a battle, but by not having them you loose the war.
- Be honest. You may fool everybody, even yourself - but if you fool yourself, whoโs left to tell the truth?
- Keep on trying. If you fail, get up, learn from your mistake and grow stronger.
- Life is not a series of 100-meter dashes. It is a journey, so treat it as such.
Rules
- When you first come here, youโre a candidate at reporting Day 0. It doesnโt matter what is your Current Streak. Despite this, you should share your Sharing Code with us.
- For 18 days you should report your progress daily. If you relapse, you start over - but it doesnโt keep you from coming back!
- A person who reports in at Day 18 is counted among the Gentlemen.
- If you skip more than 7 days (a week) of reporting, you are out. It doesnโt mean you cannot come back!
- After becoming a Gentleman, instead of reported days your Current streak counts to the leaderboard.
- Gentlemen gain trophies for 30 day (), 60 day () and 90 day () streaks.
- Every Gentleman is encouraged to take up a self-growth goal or habit, which he can tell us about to provide motivation for the candidates.
- (Update 1) Hall of Fame section has been added to the Leaderboards. People who achieve a 120 day streak are promoted here. They no longer have reporting obligations. Itโs most likely that they will move on to better things in life after achieving such a feat. So this is our way of immortalizing the bond that we once shared. We hope that it serves as a source of inspiration for others and as a reminder of the camaraderie that we are all a part of.
