10th Birthday Bash Day 5: Relay Race

On the fifth day of Birthday Bash, my favorite tutor twins gave to me... HGRPG's First Annual Relay Race! That's right, folks. Our messy & competitive gay (ft. straight) asses are here to propose a challenge. Blitz-a-thon is exciting, yeah? We all love the thrill of posting as much as we can during the span of one stressful day, don't we? Zoe and I can do you one better.

Relay Race is a simple concept. You'll be blitzing, because you GOTTA GO FAST same as always, but here's where the twist comes in. You need to make laps, and in this case, three blitz posts = one lap. The member(s) with the most laps under their belt is crowned the winner(s) of our event. Simple, yes?

There's two ways to go about this & there are two different sign up forms for you to choose from.

Wanna go for the gold all on your own? You can follow the traditional format, blitzing with whoever you want & writing as many threads as you desire. Your laps will only go towards your own name, an example being that I could make a total of 8 laps throughout all my threads & posts. You'll be on the solo circuit, working with other solo partners of your choosing, but at the end of the day it's a race to see which of you can write the most.

What about if you wanna prove you're a dream duo, like Zoe & I are? Well, sign up as a team! Your blitz thread (or threads, if you choose) will be exclusive to you & your selected partner*, and the laps you make will count towards your (yes, you can also name yourselves!) team. You will go against other teams to see which group stands above the rest. While 3 blitz posts = a lap for solo runners, the rules are changed slightly for this circuit. You and your partner only need to make 2 posts each to count for one lap.

*if you'd like to have a partner assigned to you, that's totally fine; you can bring a friend along or let us do the matchmaking

The prizes will be announced following this event, which will last the next few days instead of the traditional single day, as Zoe & I see according. Our hope is to encourage activity and branching out, and we hope to see new friends working together. You have until September 3rd, 12PM EST to sign up. You can expect CBs & the like as rewards. There will be two grand prizes, one for each circuit.

[b]TRACKER:[/b] you can edit in your threads & laps here later, and while you have creative control, please come up with a way to link your laps;
(example)
lap 1 (post 1 link, post 2 link, post 3 link)
lap 2 (post 1 link, post 2 link, post 3 link)
lap 3 (post 1 link, post 2 link, post 3 link)
^ your laps can be from different threads, etc., don't worry about being too organized[/blockquote][/blockquote][/div][/font][/font]

[b]TRACKER:[/b] same as above, just a few minor tweaks;
(example)
thread title & link -
lap 1 (post 1 link, post 2 link)
lap 2 (post 1 link, post 2 link)
^ your laps should be assigned to their respective thread with your partner, basically a cleaner version of the solo tracker[/blockquote][/blockquote][/div][/font][/font]

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to message us on Slack. We'll blow the whistle & assign teams come the third! Have fun and relax and prepare to write your hearts out.
