CUPCAKE WARS +HMD/AC/CALENDAR/ETC.
Greetings Ass Guardians! As you all know, we have now completely switched over to Dreamwidth and can now get things rolling again! So, a few things first:
1. Our first game-wide MANDATORY HMD will be posted on the 20th of January.
2. Activity Check will begin on the 26th of January and will only require ONE EXAMPLE OF ACTIVITY from this month.
3. Day changes will no longer be posted in the main community every two days. Instead, Day Changes will be indicated on the calendar for each month. February's should be up soon!
Now, just a note: We are currently working on revamping the taken list so that it shows character names AND journals. Because DW apparently doesn't recognize the title="" codes, we'll have to go back and add every name manually, so it WILL take a while. Please be patient.
Alright, now for the fun part:
CUPCAKE WARS.
Starting on the 19th of January, Travelers will be encouraged to participate in a competition designed by the gods. What will they be doing? BATTLING TO THE DEATH, OF COURSE. Except...instead of battling, they're making cupcakes...and it's not...actually to the death.
Alright, so this is how the event is going to work. On the 19th, a 'cupcake station' will appear in the kitchen of each house. At this station, there will be a small wooden table with a piece of parchment attached to it, explaining the competition. The members of each house are to work together to create cupcakes. These cupcakes will then be entered into a competition where they will be judged by the gods themselves. There will, of course, be prizes.
Though the letter makes no mention of it, travelers will soon find that their cupcake table works just as the one at the New Year's festival did; if they approach the table with any sort of ingredient in mind, the table will bring that ingredient forth. That's right, ANY INGREDIENT THEY WANT. Apples, oranges, vodka, dirt, worms, arsenic, etc.. ANYTHING. So have fun with it, guys.
*NOTE: YOU MAY ONLY WORK WITH OTHER PEOPLE IN YOUR HOUSE TO MAKE CUPCAKES. The entire point of these sorts of competitions is to make NEW CR. This isn't to say that everyone in the house has to work together in one big group, of course, but the prizes awarded will be awarded to the HOUSE, not the individual, so the more teamwork the better, even if it's in several smaller groups!
On the 19th, AN OFFICIAL CUPCAKE WARS LOG WILL BE POSTED IN THE LOG COMMUNITY. There will be a thread there for each house to work on their cupcakes and one last thread for judging. Under the JUDGING thread, you should post a quick comment about your characters' group's cupcakes including what they look like, how they taste, what they're made out of, etc.. Here, the mods will ACTUALLY judge each cupcake and choose winners for each category. Again, the prizes will be awarded to the winning HOUSE, not the winning group itself.
THE CATEGORIES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
Best Tasting Cupcake
Most Creative Cupcake
Best Looking Cupcake

eeeeee! Finally a normal friend! Wait, before they can be friends, I have an important question: . Do you like sword-fighting? 8D
lol. xD It's okay. Raimei does happen to know how to bake cookies and stuff. Although cupcakes might be new to her if she needs to make them by scratch. BUT NO WORRIES THAT IS WHERE TEAMWORK COMES IN HANDY, RIGHT? LET US MAKE THE BIGGEST AND MOST DIABETIC CUPCAKE EVER! 8Db
no subject
Yes! He does like sword fighting! Only uh... he fights with a giant key. And also, I think in a straight on sword fight with no fancy tricks or magic or powers... Raimei would total Sora, completely destroy him in a fight. He's been fighting for two years, but he's self taught, which means someone with extensive sword fighting skills could run circles around him. 9_9
TEACH SORA YOUR WAYS, RAIMEI!?
I LIKE THIS TEAMWORK STUFF. IT'LL BE THE BEST CUPCAKE. WE CAN DRAW SWORDS AND KEYS AND SAMURAI AND PIRATES WITH THE FROSTING.
no subject
Oh yeah, she would. Raimei is very hardcore with her training ever sense she was....really little? She's gonna be the best samurai ever, you know! :B
AND YES SHE WILL TEACH HIM HER WAYS. JUST EXPECT BRUISES? HARDCORE TRAINING IS TOTALLY HARDCORE!
OH MAN *o* THAT SOUNDS LIKE A FIRST PRIZE WINNER TO ME! I JUST HOPE NO ONE STEALS THEIR AWESOME CAKE....
OR IT WILL EXPLODE...maybe....no subject
YES. SORA NEEDS HARDCORE TRAINING, BRUISES AND ALL. He would love it if he got to learn from her. He'd be especially psyched if he found out she was A REAL SAMURAI *A*. For all his goofiness, he's a good student and a fast learner.
I think it would be fantastic if they got into a fight together sometime in the future.
A cupcake so big, it ceases to be called a cupcake. WE GOT THIS IN THE BAG, RAIMEI.
no subject
Those are awesome qualities to have, Sora. =w= I am sure you will make her feel proud once she begins her training with him. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GRADUATE ONCE YOU OFFICIALLY BEAT RIKU FIVE WHOLE TIMES. 8D ....yeah, Raimei is that hardcore of a teacher. > >
PLUS BRUISES AND CUTS SHOULDN'T BE TOO BAD. I MEAN, THEY COULD JUST LOOK FOR A HEALER TO HEAL HIM. /nooooods
Count on it. They will practice fight against each other and/or fight together because yay for being in the same house!
IT WILL BE A GIANT CUPCAKE. TOTOTALLY NOT A CAKE. CAKES DON'T HAVE SAMURAIS AND PIRATES DRAWN ON THEM. =w=
