Power of Veto #2
Lotus Tell You a Story

After escaping from the Cicones, Odysseus and his crew, or at least the ones on his ship, made their way to the Island of the Lotus-Eaters. Here these people were content with eating the fruits and plants of the lotus, a strange food that led to blissful forgetfulness. Upon consumption, some of the crew refused to leave the island, choosing to stay on the island and eat the lotus, and they were forcibly removed by being chained to the ship.
For the weekend challenge, you guys will be writing a brief story of a utopian society, a world where good is around every corner, a place of innocence and happiness. You may not exceed one thousand words. You must mention every Houseguest's name as well (I will post a list of everyone). However, every good story has a conflict. There must be some sort of problem that is introduced to the story and is resolved (remember, this is a utopia, so things were perfect beforehand; please logically introduce the plot).

You will have until Saturday at 5:00 PM Central to submit something in your diary room. A thousand words may seem like a lot, but you guys have partners. Split the work. Make critiques. Do what you have to do to win that Power of Veto. I will have three (3) judges score them. They will not know who wrote them. I hope to have results on Saturday at 11:00 PM Central, but it could be as late as Sunday at 1:00 PM Central. Either way, you will have until Sunday at 8:00 PM Central to cast your vote to evict. We will see how everything goes though. If all goes well, we will have a challenge on Sunday. Please check the forum at those times at least. The pair with the best score will the Power of Veto. In the event of a tie, a fourth judge will break it.

Are there any questions? The judges will base their scores on entertainment alone. However, keep in mind that terribly written works might be scored low, so don't half-ass it. Organization is also helpful in making sure everything looks smooth.

One story per pair or can we both do one?

by **sourxgumxrocks** Fri Jun 27, 2014 1:16 am

Good question. One story per pair.

by **Arik** Fri Jun 27, 2014 1:23 am

novel form or script form

by **sourxgumxrocks** Fri Jun 27, 2014 1:25 am

Be creative. You have a word limit though. Keep that in mind. Anyone who goes over will have their story cut off at 1000 words.

There are 5 pairs that they are most definitely going to try and get out before you leave, mrduckbear.

aww poohbear, you continue to warm my heart. But you hitched a ride on one of the most heavy hitting casts I've ever seen (or been a part of).

Like I've told you so many times previously in games though... don't give up, cause ya never know what comp you could come out on top in sir.

by **SuperVixenXo** Sat Jun 28, 2014 4:10 pm

John, it won't let me post my essay...you can all read it at fuckthatshit.com

But, in reality, I have to go to class 3 days a week for my big girl job and I have to actually work at my big girl job. So, unless you're giving away a cash prize. I won't spend my weekend writing a 1000 word essay. I didn't like doing that shit for school.

by **Mercuzo** Sat Jun 28, 2014 4:21 pm

1000 words isn't that much...

by **CaptainJimmy18** Sat Jun 28, 2014 4:26 pm

I did this in 25 minutes.... 1000 words is hardly anything

by **imsexyniknowit** Sat Jun 28, 2014 4:49 pm

Whatever Jimmy.
