ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Your NAME is what you would like to be called. It DOES NOT have to be your CBer name.
Your WEAPON of choice is the SINGLE weapon you would like, no more and no less. It can be ANYTHING that can be used PHYSICALLY (ie. katana, heavy book, fishing rod).
Your NUMBER can be ANY number, including decimals, irrational numbers, imaginary numbers, integers, and fractions.
CAUTION or CURIOSITY measures your IMPULSIVENESS. If you are CAUTIOUS, you are a planner, and you have patience. If you are CURIOUS, you are flexible, and you are quick to react. REMEMBER, neither of these is a bad thing.
COMPETITION or COMPASSION measures your DETERMINATION. If you are COMPETITIVE, you want to win, and you are not afraid to conflict with others. If you are COMPASSIONATE, you want to have fun, and you will avoid conflict at all costs. REMEMBER, neither of these is a bad thing.
ANYTHING else includes anything you would like to tell the organizers.

This competition is inspired off of St. Owl's original competition maze thing (I'm sorry I forgot what it was called). This means that it will be much like a Ski Lodge or Solo Write, except it is much more interactive. YOU, the people who are participating in this, will have control of this, and you will have choices to make. LUCK and RANDOMNESS are a big factor in this. The roll of the dice, the flip of a coin, it will determine your FATE.

Wow! Great chapter! This is a lot of fun!
Now I'm not sure who to partner up with, I'm a bit paranoid of Bakerloo after that one line you wrote.
Eh, whatever. Anyone wanna team?
(October 15, 2020 - 6:52 am)
Hmm, it seems safer not to pair up, but like I said, I am a curious person so why not? Sammy do you want to team up?
R.R, is your favourite color rainbow?
(October 16, 2020 - 2:29 pm)
Sure!

“Joan, partners?” Rin asked, sitting down next to Joan.
“Uh, yea, sure,” Joan mumbled, still dizzy from the hunger games but with less blood.
Sammy and Gecko glanced around suspiciously, and then sat down next to each other. Bakerloo, Nyx, and Lark stayed away, opting to be alone.
“Alright, we’ve got our partners I see!” R.R. exclaimed, “Now, for advantages and disadvantages!”
Bakerloo sighed.
---
The BEST team last time was BAKERLOO, who made it out first.
Bakerloo winced, ready for something to happen. His shoes disappeared.
How unoriginal. This is going to suck for you, BAKERLOO.
The WORST team last time was NYX, who made it out last.
Nyx grinned, and a length of rope dropped into her hands.
Rope is always useful, NYX.
---
“And that’s it for this round’s advantages and disadvantages! Yep! I nerfed the random ones,” R.R. said, shrugging.
Lark frowned. She could’ve used an advantage this round.
“WELL ANYWAY, you wanna know what this round is all about?” R.R. asked dramatically.
With a flick of a lever, the dark doorway flashed with bright light, and faded to reveal … an OBSTACLE COURSE! There were bars, balance beams, a weird pinwheel that looked like the one designed to knock people off from Fall Guys, a bridge of spaced-out lilypads across water, and so much more!
Bakerloo looked down at his feet, shoeless. It would certainly make the course more difficult to do, but it wasn’t that bad honestly.
“Yep, an OBSTACLE COURSE! The last one to make it to that portal at the end LOSES!”
Joan glanced at Rin. She was glad that she had teamed up with Rin now, this obstacle course would be way easier to do with help! Rin grinned at Joan, and lifted up her warped wood staff. They would make it there!
“Hey, we’re going to do this!” Sammy exclaimed.
“Yep!” Gecko said, fist-bumping Sammy.
Lark studied the obstacle course carefully. There seemed to be a couple places where she could shortcut to avoid falling into the water beneath the course. There were ladders going back up to the course from the water, but it would cost her a lot of time.
Nyx looked over at the other people. They all looked ready to run. Then, she looked down at the rope in her hands. Maybe a little bit of sabotage was in order to win this …
“READYSETGO!” R.R. shrieked without warning, and a shrill whistle blasted.
Bakerloo started, and began to run toward the course, heading for the first obstacle, a set of floating lilypads.
Rin leapt ahead easily, Joan keeping pace behind her as they quickly overtook Bakerloo and started hopping across the lilypads. Suddenly, Joan felt a jerk on her back, and she was tugged back by a rope, toppling into the water.
“Seeya!” Nyx said, running for the lilypads.
“Rin!” Joan exclaimed, sticking out her hand for Rin’s.
Rin looked back. If she went ahead, she would make it, but Joan would be swept all the way back to the beginning. With a quick decision, she stuck out her hand, and pulled Joan up, onto a lilypad.
“Thanks,” Joan said, spitting out water, her hair soaked.
Gecko was slightly behind Sammy. It would be so easy to just push Sammy off, and set her back a little …

ALL CONTESTANTS: you have a decision to make. Do you try to sabotage someone? Or do you not? Depending on if you are COMPETITIVE or COMPASSIONATE, and if you are CAUTIOUS or CURIOUS, it may go well, or it may not. Or you might be sabotaged yourself.

BONUS: none of you guessed my favourite color, it was yellow >:D. Answer this question (if you want): is cereal a soup?

No sabotage from me, we're here to have a good time!
Cereal is not a soup because soups require some form of cooking, usually boiling or simmering but sometimes broiling and pureeing, and cereal requires none of the niceties.
(October 19, 2020 - 3:24 pm)
Yes! Great chapter!
I don't think I'll sabotage...maybe.
Cereal is not a food, nor a soup.
Cereal is the balance between life and death, good and evil.
The very glue that holds our existence together.
If you eat the cereal you will be blessed, lest the council decides otherwise.
As my good friend Freak once said; "Pterodactyl."
These are trying times.

I will not sabotoge anyone. It's dangerous enough trying to do this obstacle course alone and with no shoes, I don't want to make any enemies.
Also, sabotoge is not nice. I am a nice person who never sabotoges anyone and who everyone absolutely adores and would never want to sabotoge, is that understood?
(October 19, 2020 - 7:02 pm)
Oh, I forgot to tell you! LARK, your shoes have been returned! And JOAN your dagger has shrunk back to its original size.
(October 20, 2020 - 3:30 pm)
Really?! Hooray! I'm unreasonably happy now. Cereal is not soup, and I don't care what logical explanation anyone else gives.
(October 20, 2020 - 6:06 pm)
Pssshhhhh, worst? Eh. I was this close to guessing yellow.
no, cereal is not a soup. The liquid is optional.
i'll sabotage EVERYBODY, MWAHAHAHAHA!
(October 20, 2020 - 3:14 pm)
No sabotage here; this competition is nail-biting enough already (and I don't bite my nails, so you've really got me wound up)
(October 20, 2020 - 7:14 am)
Yay! My dagger returned to its 'normal' sword-like size! XD
Umm... yeah, I'm compassionate, so I'm going to go with NOT sabotaging people... (unless it's Nyx. Then I'm cool with that. Sorry, not sorry Nyx. ;p)
Oh, and cereal is DEFINITELY NOT a soup.... blegh! *shivers at the comparison of cereal and soup* Soup is just more.... soggier in my opinion.
(October 20, 2020 - 11:20 pm)
No apology necessary, lol. Have at it
(October 21, 2020 - 4:20 pm)
It... is so tempting... to sabotage... must... resist...
Fine, fine. I'll be nice. I guess. Though it goes against my natural instinct. This reminds me a little of the prisoner's dilemma.
Cereal is not a soup because cereal itself does not imply that there is milk. Cereal is just the dry crunchy part, which I don't think anyone would mistake for soup. Even if there were milk in it, it would still not be a soup because the ingredients in soup have to be cooked together, and it is barbaric to think otherwise. Not everything liquid is a soup. Not everything with bread is a sandwich. We exist in a world of technicalities. This is just how it is.
