#challenge 3

@animangacreators Challenge Three:

Tuna: So. Looks like the light went around the place, botherin' all kinds of folks and generally headin' up, huh.

Tuna: Looked into it a lil' and found somethin' strange while lookin' around myself.

Dark: You've been searching too?!

Tuna: … Yes. I do work, too. For my job. Can understand why that'd be such a surprise to someone like you.

Tuna: This one guy has been missin' for ages with nothing to show that they're on vacation or visitin' family, shit like that.

With over 91% of the vote, the Dwarven miners overwhelmingly preferred Team 1's dish (led by Marigold Brandyfoot) over Team 2's! Thanks in part to Durin and Narvi's familiarity with Dwarvish tastes, their savoury meat and mushroom pies with stout ale gravy and pickles on the side were a big hit, and Annatar and Tom Bombadil managed to avoid coming to blows. Team 1 (Marigold, Bronwyn, Durin, Gil-Galad, Poppy, Narvi, Arondir, Annatar, & Tom Bombadil) is safe from elimination and Marigold has won the Immunity Pin for the 2nd time, guaranteeing her safety in the next challenge. 👏

After some deliberation, the judges have determined that the worst-performing members of Team 2 (led by Isildur) were Nori, Galadriel, and Glûg. This is Nori's 2nd time in the Bottom 3, and a big step-down for Galadriel who placed in the Top 3 in Challenge #1.

The winner of this poll will be the loser with the worst team challenge performance and will be eliminated from the competition. *womp womp*

What did they make? What were their fatal mistakes? How did their mistakes impact the team? Is there hope for them yet?

Masking

Here’s your next challenge! For this week, we’re going to tackle masking colourful layers on our gifs. This can be:

Colourful background: [x], [x], [x]

Negative space: [x], [x], [x]

I found very helpful tutorials on colouring here and here! And as usual, below you can find a few gifs, this time from Heaven Official’s Blessing, to get you started at once. It isn’t necessary to use these scenes though: choose whatever fandom you like!

A/N: I just wanted to post this before I forget and get busy with school and also because I’ve been sitting on the Sylvan RP for too long. Since Emi @rey-oliveira was amazing to help us post the Media Training RP, I linked straight to hers! The Archie RP is still in progress and is in two parts and since the texting portion is done, I figured I’d post that first as a sneak peak for the RP.  As always, shoutout and thanks to the following people: Anya as @sylvan-schreave aka an iconic dad and someone Diana needed in that point of time and as well as @bianca-pal for guiding the Media Training rp so well!! Also thank you to Si @nellie-fisher for bringing the frenemy energy as always with Nellie and Emi, it was so fun to meet Rey for the first time!!

EDIT: Added in the completed Archie RP and huge thanks to Chris @archibald-schreave for always allowing Di to have a good time with Archie!

Happy Reading yall!!

Howdy howdy, and welcome to Challenge 3, yeehaw! Okay, this really isn’t yeehaw... or maybe that’s a fact that’s up to debate 👀 

Yep, that’s right! Challenge 3 is debates, moderated by Queen Peggy and Princess Ainsley themselves!

The debates will unfold like this: on December 1st, the girls will find out about the debates, their opponent(s) and their topics, for which they will have 12 days to prepare. On December 13, they will be taken to the studio where the Report is recorded. These debates will be broadcast live across Illéa, like weekly reports are. The day will be divided into two parts - the morning with Ainsley, and the afternoon with Peggy. Ainsley and Peggy's presence is required in order to make sure that debates all stay around the same length, and to maintain order if tensions arise (or simply to keep the debate on track).

The debate pairings and topics will be as follows:

Group 1: Soraya ( @ladysorayamafi-foxglove ) v Hadley ( @hadleyjaneharper​ )

Topic: The State of Healthcare in Illéa

Moderator: Ainsley

Join the Hangouts here!

Group 2: Rosie ( @rosie-marlow ) v Astranova ( @ladyastranova )

Topic: Environmental Hazards/Sustainable Housing in Illéa

Moderator: Peggy

Group 3: Sienna ( @s-morgan ) v MJ ( @ladymariajosephinereyes​ ) v Adria ( @adriamariano )

Group 5: Marsali ( @marsali-m ) v Savannah ( @savysavannah )

Moderator: Peggy

OOC this challenge takes place from 16 January 2021 - 30 January 2021. This challenge covers 1 December 2121 - 14 December 2121 in the OC. As mentioned earlier, the girls find out about the debates and their topics on 1 December 2121. The actual debates occur on 13 December 2121. All characters are open for 2 Side RPs each by request during this challenge.

Important note: None of the host characters are allowed to provide help to the selected, whether it be for their research or to practice for the debate. In the OC timeline, side rps can occur both before and after the debate takes place. OOC, we would rather first complete your character's debate before starting a side (meaning if group 1 is done, characters from group 1 can do side rps. We won't wait for all group rps to be completed to allow all sides to start).
