The 2014 Arena!

[Jenny (Reffy)]

Totally meant to write some starters but cold and other stuff got in the way. May do so at lunch today. Can we confirm start date and time? Since there was a delay talked about.

[Jenny (Reffy)]

Sent 5 starters Not so keen on 1 of them but it'd be interesting to see where it goes. Writing starters is hard because I want to Flash Fiction it and finish the story.

[Kwan]

Welp, we are all set to start tonight if we wish, unless we're going to wait for a 12th person.

[Kaez]

I say one random, lucky fucker gets matched up with nobody -- but they still have to write. If they don't submit anything, they don't progress.

Looks like we're not getting a 12th.

[El Generalissimo]

Ha haa!

Never fear, I, El hhh-eneralissimo, shall write. But be warned, my friends. When El Generalissimo writes ... he writes to the death!

[Allya]

You shall be perfect for the Thunderdome...if you dare.

Please be Tamwyn.

Then it's settled. I'll feed the names into the Python program and the starters will be up at 6:00 PM CST.

Would anybody object to this year posting the introductions to the threads themselves and PM'ing people the round they will be in? Similar to what was done with the Thunderdome match? Might add an extra layer of gamesmanship, and if nothing else would allow you guys to gossip over the various openings.

[ASGetty ((Zovo))]

Hmmm.... Interesting.
It's like one foot in, one foot out of my comfort zone.

[Matteo ((Taed))]

.......

Um

.......

You guys know that El Generalissimo is me, right?

I'm not writing in two rounds, dude.

[James]

Oh.

Someone (I know who it is) built a time machine to write their beginning.

[Kwan]

Uh, write for the one you were assigned then.

Mystery person who got paired with definitelynottaed has an open door if they can take advantage of it.

Mine is...interesting.

I'm indifferent. If everyone wants to see the beginnings, might as well post them.

I'm still in my typical writing competition "I don't like this" stage. The question is if by tomorrow, I'll be out of it or not. That's when I really know if I don't like a topic/beginning or not.
