EDIT: on the thread title: How about "All-WCA-events-completion club" ?
EDIT2: somebody has already changed the title, thanks.

I know there are several members-to-be (only 1-event left). Go for it!

To members, especially newcomers:
As I said before, it's nice if you post your story/road to completion.
What was the motivation? When did you decide to do? What was the last event?
What was major hurdle/difficulty? Was there any trouble/accident? etc.

EDIT: This is my 400th post. ;)

I think I may have been the first person to actively pursue this. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I was likely the first person (not counting the 1982 WC) to accomplish this with singles. I was trying for averages when I got singles. It was at the 2009 Ohio Open - I needed feet, 6x6x6, and 7x7x7 averages to get them all. I had no trouble with 6x6x6 and 7x7x7 - I just had to be careful not to pop. With feet, I got the first solve, at which point I was pretty happy and relieved, because I knew I had all the singles. I remember Dan Cohen watching as I was doing my second solve, and I finished nicely and went for the timer, and accidentally hit the reset button. Back then, feet solving was almost never held in the US, so I was crushed - I knew it was a while before I'd have another chance.

I remember Yunqi Ouyang was also very interested in this at about the same time, and he messaged me the next day saying "Oh no, how could you?". Anyway, that left the door open for him to get the averages first, which he did shortly after that.

I finally got all the averages by holding my own competition, Indiana Winter 2010, and including feet. And I even won the event there! :) It was the only event I won at that competition, and the only time I ever won feet.

Then of course I had to do it again this year when skewb and fewest move averages got added. Our family schedule has been busier this year, so it's been hard to get to competitions, but I went out of my way to make it to Michigan 2014 so I could get back on the list. And I learned Heise pretty well just so I could guarantee a decent average on fewest moves - I wanted at least sub-40, and it got me 36.
 
I don't really remember when I started aiming towards this, but I guess it was when I finally got a 4x4 BLD success. After that, I thought a 5x5 BLD success would be awesome, and I think that was when I realized that, besides 5x5 BLD, only "easy" singles were missing on my profile. So I did feet, clock and Square-1 at the next competition, but unfortunately DNF'ed 5x5 BLD. I went super safe at my next comp, and it was the coolest moment of that competition to succeed, even though it was super slow ^^
The only average I was missing at that time was clock, and I DNFed the first two attempts, lol. Unfortunately, new events were added when I had the chance to do a clock average again. So I had to practise my 3BLD accuracy, and went super safe on all my attempts, which worked out. Skewb wasn't a problem of course.
Now, the only average I was missing is fewest moves. There aren't very many competitions with a mean of 3, but I was going to go to the European champs anyway, so I hoped to get an average there.
My first solve went fine, with 29 moves. However on the second attempt, when I was trying to write down my safety solution in the last 5 minutes, it didn't work for some reason. Finding the mistake took me more than 5 minutes :( It was very frustrating.
Since then, I practised fewest moves, to make sure I wouldn't DNF again at my next competition, which was Sébra last weekend. This really was worth it, since I did a very good average (for me) this time.
At the same time, I always tried to improve as many events as possible at each competition. My next goals are to improve my sum of ranks and to be top 400 WR at all the events.
 
Yay, I’m the 30th gold member (I think)

I attended my first comp in 2011 when I only did 3x3, then I lost interest in cubing and started again in September 2013.
I wanted to keep learning new events and when I attended my second competition in jan 2014, I did 12 events. In February I added clock and 4bld to my list of events and sq1 in May. In July I got my first chance to do 5bld and got a success! I also got feet and Mbld at that competition which completed my 18 singles for each event. There was only one event I didn't get a success in on first comp in which I tried that event which was Mbld (I got 1/2 and got 6/12 at my next comp with Mbld)

I completed this task at 14 years of age and within 11 months of learning an event other than 3x3. I am the youngest in India and the Second indian to do so :)

Hope to become a gold member soon :D
 
Got an FMC mean today. So that's everything, singles and averages =)

(On the 3rd solve I was still figuring out my solution with one minute left on the clock. OHing with my left hand, and writing the alg with my right. I thought I was going to throw up, haha, way too close for comfort.)
