To refresh your memory, these tasks MUST be completed by the end of Saturday (Scroll Time) each week, for you to stay in the race:

1. There will be a 'Story' thread in Fiction and Poetry that you must contribute to THRICE this week, on different days, as the character you have been assigned.

2. Your must write in a diary thread as often as you like. Write in character in your diary, commenting on the action in the story thread, sharing your personal thoughts about aspects of the race, etc.

In addition, you must also complete a weekly task, by the end of each Saturday (Scroll Time).

FIFTH WEEKLY TASK

For your fifth task, Zeus and Hera have cast a spell over the story thread. Yes, it's COMEDY WEEK. No drama this week, we only want to read all comedy, all the time in the story thread.

To commemorate this event we are giving each racer an extra post, which MUST be used this week. You may not post more than once on the same day.

We will also be playing our wild card, so keep watch for it.

********************

DON'T FORGET! Points will be awarded by Zeus and Hera for the most CREATIVE contributions, each week.

The person with the least points at the end of each week will be DISPATCHED!

In addition, those who don't fulfill all their tasks by week's end will also be BOOTED.

The race continues ... can you survive?

Can I award my points now before seeing any tasks or anything written in the story?

Favouritism needs no objective standards.

You mean I've been wasting ALL that time each week reading every single diary entry, story thread and task?

I could've just allocated points up front and spent more time getting ready for Christmas?

Silly me.

I've actually got a system that works really well.

I alternate each week on giving Sara all my points, then Nora.

Once you do the math, it's easy to see why they have won every week.

*pause*

Wait they haven't..

Recap:

Minya
Xena
Dite
Livia 'The goatherder'

Hey, Kate, come here and show the good people how we dislike you so by dispatching you from the Race!

I'd say it'll be fun, but I don't think anyone would understand.

One little girl loved a lonely goatherd,
Lady ohdelady odela--he oo!

Oops, what is that some mortal song from the future?
Hey as long as it has the Lurve stuff in it....i'm cool!

What have you done with Kate!?

*smacks Cupid from here to Olympus*

Remember, kiddies, violence is wrong unless performed by a god under controlled circumstances.

Oh hey all! Kate here....THey hate me so much they made me be Cupid the stupid! DUHHH i'm so dumb i don't even know how to fight...just shoot arrows into people's hearts and grin like a loon.
But hey! Can't be that bad if Dite's Afro is on my side....

Get them arrows a'flying.

Watch out for goats when Xena is around.

Oh right, watch out for those goats, lol... Now that Xena's all well, all out of it and reliving memories from her past....hmmm.
I need to find her another blonde.

Just not a blonde goat.

cupid's hot

i wonder if he could clear up any of caesar's old family issues...?

[Out of character]

Why is it that Karl Urban's nipples always protrude, when he's in his Cupid costume?

my guess is it's bloody cold in new zealand. plus he's just feelin' sexy

MY guess is....he just loves the lurrrrrve in his Cupid costume and he can't help but be rather stimulated?

BTW, y'all are lookin rather delish! Ya got a date for Valentine's Day?

Later Gators!
