#### The First Feat!!!

You know the legend of Groddlocritus right? The great philosopher who discovered Imagination in the first place? Then you certainly know of his legendary meditation which lasted 11,113 minutes. It was a Feat which echo'd through history, right to the present moment. If we Glitches can united to re-create this week during the next six game days (the new "game week!") then ... something cool will happen.
UPDATE (one hour later): We've fixed the bug which prevented the correct display of your own contribution. Everyone's previous meditation counted towards advancing the overall goal (yay!) but until a few minutes ago the individual contributions were not correctly recorded.
So, take heart from your anonymous gift to your fellow players — the advancement of towards the goal of re-creating an ancient feat is a wonderful thing! — and take heart also from the fact that your individual contributions will now be recorded properly.

- Update about individual contributions posted as an update, above!

- At this rate, it will be done in 6-7 hours? Thats a shame since a feat should at least last 24 hours to give players from all over the world a chance to participate.
  Its 12:30 am in Europe. I imagine European Glitchs will wake up to see that something new happened and then ended while they were asleep.

- Well, this is our first one — we'll get better and guessing what people can get done in 24 hours over time (we figured this one was likely to fail ... but ... no).

- Clearly you underestimated the ability of people to get really excited about stuff and do it a lot.
  Posted 97 days ago by Magic Monkey | Permalink
- GAH!! Where does it tell you how much you've contributed to it, please?
  Posted 97 days ago by sgjo | Permalink
- Do our contributions count once we reach the max energy gain for the day and get Zenned out?

- sgjo, it doesn't tell you anymore (right now). When it does, it shows up here: http://www.glitch.com/feats/meditation-of-groddlocritus/

- NEVER underestimate the ability of people to get really excited about stuff and do it a lot.
  So say the Monkeys (apparently).

- Lucille, you should still be able to focus mood or radiate still at that point, and those are types of meditation...

- I really wouldn't have a problem with it if you quietly increased the requirement, if that's technically possible. Things that are over in less than 24 hours seem very :( to me given the aforementioned timezone issue.

- Never underestimate the power of NEW STUFF. Even meditating can be exciting if it's all fancy-looking and new.

- Am I reading the update correctly -- individual contributions since the edit have been counted, but they are not currently displayed?
  If they *are* supposed to be currently displayed, then I am still having problems with it.
  Posted 97 days ago by Tathak | Permalink
- I've gotten a contribution notification, but only once...
  Posted 97 days ago by Pascale | Permalink
- Just one contribution notification here, also.
  Posted 97 days ago by TransplantedEntwife | Permalink
- Okay, so how is cooldown time calculated? I just spoke to a Glitch with a smaller energy tank and lower level whose cooldown is slightly LONGER than mine (i.e. over four minutes).
  Posted 97 days ago by Pascale | Permalink
- What everyone else is saying. Im reading that it should be fixed, but I'm not seeing any individual information.
  Posted 97 days ago by Aliera | Permalink
- Why not have the target be a minimum required number, but allow all meditating in the glitch week to count towards the feat?
  Posted 97 days ago by katlazam | Permalink
- Stoot said individual contributions are properly recorded, not that they're reported to us. Enter Bees...
  Posted 97 days ago by Tingly Claus | Permalink
- Display of your personal contributions is back!

- I read that feats are the new street project type thingie. Does that mean all of them are global or are there also personal feats up the road?
  Also, is this feat given to everyone when completed or only those who contributed?
  Posted 97 days ago by Jindujun | Permalink
- I don't know what the hell is going on or what we are going to get from this, but I'm doing it!
  Posted 97 days ago by Serra | Permalink
- Jindujun: I don't totally follow either of your questions, but: Feats are always global (not personal) and they are not something that is giving to someone when completed … they are just completed when they are completed.
  Maybe in the second place you meant rewards? If so: contributors towards the Feat will get some rewards (in future, those will be spelled out in advance) but the successful completion of the Feat will also unlock new content, locations, etc., and those will be available to everyone, whether they contributed or not.

- Groddlocritus comed from Groddle Isle,right?.
  Possibly if we manage to get 1,2 or 3 more minutes that the ancient goal would make us reminded for the history and beyond :D.
  Posted 97 days ago by Arthur13 | Permalink
- I'm impressed, even though you didnt follow my questions i got them answered :P
  I'll try to be clearer in the future!
  Posted 97 days ago by Jindujun | Permalink
- katlazam, re "Why not have the target be a minimum required number, but allow all meditating in the glitch week to count towards the feat?"
  Well, because, obviously … uh … hmm. I'm not sure why. Indeed, I have no idea why we didn't think to do it that way in the first place.
  It's too late for this one, but this was a test anyway. So … in the future, they will almost certainly be changed to work in the way you describe.
  [UPDATE: we ended up doing it that way.]

- Now, everybody jump to start an Urthquake
  ....
  ooops, stoot didn't say!
  Posted 97 days ago by Rennie | Permalink
- Aye, it would really suck to have a feat come & go before some folks even woke up.
  Posted 97 days ago by Sturminator IX | Permalink
- Wow it seems like we're breezing through this feat. I think the best part of this is that it has really brought out the community aspect of the game. It might be centralized in a few maps, but it's better than nothing! :D
  Posted 97 days ago by Retribution | Permalink
- When I entred the counter was only 1K,however now the counter marks 10K and counting!.
  Posted 97 days ago by Arthur13 | Permalink
- Is cooldown based on energy tank? Mine is almost 5 mins!
  Posted 97 days ago by PTB3 | Permalink
- PTB3 what is your energy tank? mine is 1560 and my cooldown is 31 secs
  Posted 97 days ago by Richelle | Permalink
- 14860....
  Posted 97 days ago by PTB3 | Permalink
- Done!
  Posted 97 days ago by E D D I E | Permalink
- must be linked to energy then i guess
  Posted 97 days ago by Richelle | Permalink
- Are the devs new.
  Posted 97 days ago by lazulisong | Permalink
- DEFEATED.
  Posted 97 days ago by Pale Queen | Permalink
- YAY! Good feat-ing, everybody! :D
  Posted 97 days ago by Djabriil | Permalink
- Haven't been on long and didn't get much of a chance to participate in this feat, I hope the next one is FAR more difficult than this and allows more people from other timezones and the like to participate.
  Way to go for all that did though!
  Posted 97 days ago by Ayasta | Permalink
- Will this be a weekly thing from now on? :D
  Posted 97 days ago by Hellyeah | Permalink
- OMG... not nice... I've been watching the forums most of the day and you release this when the only computer I can use that handles Glitch is occupied. Can someone tell me what happened when the feat was achieved? Very much curious.
  Posted 97 days ago by Kaelyn Renai | Permalink
- 8.53 minutes contributed, WOOT!
  Posted 97 days ago by absolute | Permalink
- Kaelyn: The rewards and unlocking won't happen til the Glitch week is over.
  Posted 97 days ago by Aliera | Permalink
- @Kaelyn, we won't know for another 19 hours or so.
  Posted 97 days ago by Rev. Desdemona | Permalink
- 5.7 minutes contributed. Wooo!
  Posted 97 days ago by Oblina | Permalink
- We did it!
