:durtle_hello: Let's Durtle the Scenic Route 🐢

Lets Durtle the Scenic Route is a group similar to the ā€œlets level togetherā€ groups. :durtle_hello:
But in this group we don’t aspire to level fast, we are taking the scenic route and enjoying the process :turtle:

This is a group for people who don’t want to rush toward a set goal, but just durtle along slowly, maybe using 2-3x the time per level, or even more!
For normal levels that means 14 days or more (but anything more than 7 counts)
For fast levels that means 7 days or more (but anything more than 3.5 days counts)
Random, variable level up time is fine too :durtle_noice:
You can have a level at full speed cause you had more time, yet still fit this group if you don’t push yourself to do so all the time.

Goals: (you don’t have to aspire to all the goals)
Go slow, we are in no rush
Take time to enjoy the lessons, don’t rush through them
Avoid burn outs
Avoid needing to reset
The journey is more important than the end goal

Get 0/0 each level, durteling our reviews and vocab lessons is part of the journey -
Note: Our version of 0/0 is to have zero lessons from previous level before doing current level, and reach zero on reviews as often as possible. Don’t churn out all current level lessons to reach a full 0/0

I might add more later, feel free to come with suggestions :durtle_love:

You need to be a regular to make it a wiki.
Or a mod can do it for you.
Is this scenic enough?

Yes that is very scenic route! Durteling all the Apprentice down to zero!

So do I ask @mods ? Does that work?
Would love help with making post 2 a wiki please :durtle_love:

Name changing is fun! I have changed a few times too (I was Stabby (as in the Durtle) for a while. Had something else at first before that. But that was before I could afford the subscription so wasn’t that active)

I don’t think tags are strictly case sensitive. @crabigatrdurtlemunch.

I didn’t have the s at first (put mod). I edited it :caught_durtling:

Well, sorry for my derailment, since I probably don’t even fit the description for this leaderboard. Have fun, and durtle it easy, folks!

Anyone can durtle around in the forum thread even if they level faster. Thanks for stopping by on your journey :durtle_love:

7 Likes

Yeah, I’m not taking the fast levels at full speed, that’s for sure. I’ll keep doing my ±20 lessons per day, and I’ll keep spreading my kanji lessons.

3 Likes

If you are doing the fast levels slower than the full speed that still counts! :durtle_noice:

@DurtleHeaven I’ve made the original post a wiki as requested, so others should be able to edit it now.
