The 20,000 point GamerScore Challenge. Many websites like to follow the progress of gamers and the most common way of doing so is by monitoring the number of GamerScore (GS) points (gained by unlocking achievements) a player has.
I put this challenge to you. My individual goal (HM) is to increase my GS by 20,000 points by September 1st 2010. As this seemed a popular idea, many freeola users have jumped in with their own personal challenges.
If you are interested in joining the challenge, just post your target score and how many points you are away (or just a target amount), along with your Gamertag and I'll put you on the board below.
Keep posting updates when you unlock achievements. The best way (and most manageable) would be to post the game title and the number of points achieved from the start date of your target. For instance: if I had a Viva Pinata and unlocked 600 points, I would post: "Viva Pinata - 600 points".. Points gained from before the target date do not count.
LAST UPDATE - gr13ve - 8 games - 695 points

Suppose anything's an improvement on my score!
I'll go for broke and aim for 10,000. How about that?

Yeah go for it :) I may need an extra pair of hands to update - so if I am a bit slow with an update, feel free to jump in!
And dav, you can choose whatever target you would like. If you have other targets you would like to achieve then post all the details and how you would like to update us and we'll fit you in on the board.
Looks quite popular! And it's going to be fun!

I'd be happy to join in for a reduced target. 20K points is way too much for me.
Can this be extened to include other targets outwith xbox? I'm aiming to get to earn enough points to get the highest online ranking classification in Motorstorm Arctic Edge. I'm currently classed as a Veteran and I think there are 2 more ranks to get but the points required is increasing a lot each time and I'm only playing this during my lunch breaks so it's going to take quite some effort I think.

Cool - lots of takers and if it's on twitter, it may be quite a big thread :D
When I get back tonight (and if I have time), I'll sit down and reword the thread and see what I can do to keep everyone in the game.
I may even up my target halfway through - I'm 1/10 of the way to my target in 10 days. I have another 220-ish to go yet... 44000 could be a possiblity... lol! That would nearly be double my score!

I was thinking something similar to Emmie. Not sure how long I'll be on the Xbox for and don't deliberately go for achievements anyway.
That said, I've just added 210 to make it 2000 from Eat Lead (before I gave up and sold it) so I guess I could start with that.
I know, 2000, it just shows how little time I have to play on my 360.
Maybe I could get it up to 5000 in that time, ideally I'd have time for 10000 to make it half decent, but I doubt it.
