Stu-Vivor finals…

Due to some wierd and inexplicable twist of cosmic fate, I’m a finalist! It’s down to me and OrangeSodaMan, and this time we each had to design the challenges ourselves. Whatever we decided on, we both have to complete.

 The challenges:

Obstacle Orange:

I challenge you to go through for each of the previous rounds, and to pick an entree of a person that was eliminated and revamp it. For each round. Example, Doomstat for round one, saying why his card chosen is so important. TDB for the semifinals, using a deck and elaborating on a personal story etc. Key thing is to choose someone ELIMINATED (Don’t pick TDB’s first round submission since he made it past round one).
Now, this is going to be impossible to do exactly, so use your judgment to determine how to proceed; this doesn’t have to be perfect. But. The closer the better right? Just to elaborate - these are in your words. for example, say you wanted to do doomstat for round one - you would write a new story saying why his card choice (now yours) is so great. This should be a fun challenge for us and those who were previously LotR contenders.

Obstacle gday:

It’s only fitting that these two competitors take a good look at their opponent and, once they see past the three-day stubble, come to terms with the fact the person standing before them is the last obstacle to be overcome.

Make your opponent into a Legend.

Design a minimum of four fantasy cards. At least one of these must be a character card, at least two of these must be non-character cards (ie, Plot Twists, Equipment, Locations).

Participants are allowed to confer with their opponent in order to obtain inspiration and/or art for the cards should they choose to provide images.

The challenge can be viewed as either knowing thine enemy, recognizing the gifts of another, or even just an opportunity to poke some fun. It’s still a game, after all.

 So… I may be a little quiet in my VS blogging this week while I try to put together my entries…
