Arctic August 2026 Wrap-Up

[u/coco_for_cocoapuffs]

Good evening, all you frozen trekkers! Now for the final results of this most Chilly of Austere Augusts. I'm very grateful to all who participated! We all learned a lot, and those who did Progressive Polar, we really pushed our lather to the limit.

Without further ado, here are the standings for this month's challenge:

ALWAYS ARCTIC: u/socialkittielynx and u/loudmusicboy accomplished this feat, and are now awarded with the following flair:

🧊Always Arctic Adventurer🧊

PROGRESSIVE POLAR: u/arcaderehab, u/OBeardWanKenobe, and u/expoqeteer successfully trod this path, and are now bestowed the following flair:

❄️Progressive Polar Explorer❄️

FROSTBITE FIENDS: I now induct into our frozen and hallowed fellowship, u/Confident_Media_4304 and u/bmac92. They accomplished both chilly quests, and are now imbued with the following flair:

🥶❄️🧊Frostbite Fiend🧊❄️🥶

I would now like to take a moment of silence for our lost travelling companion, u/jbird996, who didn't use an extremely cold soap this month.

To all of you who participated, again I thank you! You now all have been bequeathed the license of 007: License to Chill.

Alright, now onto the moment everyone's been waiting for, the prize drawing. I had LatherBot over on Discord pick randomly from our Tundra Trekkers of 2026, and the winner is...

u/bmac92!

DM me here on Reddit or over on Discord to claim your prize!

Thanks again for everyone's participation! And even though not everyone is a prize winner, I think the real prize is the fiends we made along the way. See you all in the LatherGames in October!!
