As people who play video games know, when you kill 100 000 people or get trough a game without dying or drop your best friend-box-thingy down an Aperture science incinerator or something along those lines. You get a pop-up notification telling you that you are a magnificent person and that you got an achievement for being so great. This also makes you feel great because you did something and you got acknowledged for doing so, but then you turn of your game and your boss yells at you for playing games during work hours. And now you feel kind of crappy because you didn't achieve anything at work because you were just playing games all day.
so what if you could feel great about the things you have accomplished in the world of atoms and neutrons and genetics and stuff like you do in the one of pixels?

But now i have stalled for long enough, time to explain the premise. It is quite simple you make up real life achievements for things you have done or want to do and you post them and hope for like minded folks.

I rather like this idea, this time of the year is cold and dark and a bit too serious. Why don't you start up a forum game? I got these ones today:

I can quit whenever I want: Bought 5 or more games from the Steam Autumn Sale of 2013
Motorhead: Drank 5 or more cups of coffee in 5 hours

True Kvlt: called a band a "poser band"
Reading Masochist: made it through George R. R. Martin's A Feast for Crows without once thinking, "Wow, this is boring"
Guitar God: get someone to sleep with you because of your speedy guitar skills
Speaking from experience, that last one is a lot harder than you think when you play metal.
