User blog:Akirassasin/Gamification - Deathly Discord

This should probably belong in an article or page, but since it's my first time adding things into this wiki I guess I should experiment using blog posts first.

I've been using Habitica to help me remember to do tasks for almost a month now. Guess it's time to spice things up a bit!

Drawing inspiration from the Hardcore Poison challenge, this curse can become lethal if not taken care of quickly.

Every morning, when the player logs into Habitica, they must perform the following: 1. (-) if the Deathly Discord color is not green (blue is an overdose!) 2. (-) for every overdue To-Do

Special tags will be added to certain tasks. If the player fails these marked tasks (for example, missing the marked Daily or succumbing to a marked bad Habit), they must (-) the Deathly Discord.

Custom rewards can also be added by the player as remedies to the curse.

In the end, the Deathly Discord serves as motivation for the player to complete all due To-Dos (overdues are not punished by Habitica), and also helps gamify the To-Do lists.
