Samanayrs

Scorpios are the most intense, profound, powerful characters in the zodiac. Even when they appear self-controlled and calm there is a seething intensity of emotional energy under the placid exterior. They can harness their abundant energy constructively, tempering their self-confidence with shrewdness and their ambition with magnanimity toward others provided they like them. -"astrology-online.com"
Venom/Scorpio is holding a contest to see who has the ambition to match her own intensity--but look out! There's live scorpions involved! If you've got the intensity and self-confidence to compete, read on!
The Game!

The way this works is that Sams will be standing in a loose circle, all pumped up prove their ambition, and have to dodge the scorpions being flung their way. By this I mean that I will post "Venom throws a volley of scorpions!" and each person in the game will reply as fast as possible with "DODGE!".

The last person to post in each round is just a hair too slow, gets hit by the scorpion and is out of the game, and the next round will continue with one less sam. (They don't get hurt, though, these aren't especially angry scorpions and we have healers standing by!)

Rules
Is your Samanayr limbered up and ready to dodge? Good! Just make sure you read this important information first:

- Each person is allowed to enter one Samanayr.
- If you don't own a Samanayr but would like to participate, you may apply using someone else's Samanayr as long as you have the owner's permission.
- The person who enters the Samanayr in the event will receive the prizes, not the owner of the Sam.

Apply to Dodge
There are 10 spots open for this event.

Applications will close on September 14th, 10pm PDT/Sept. 15th 04:00 PI time. Applications are open now, so please post in this thread with the following filled out:

If the Samanayr is not yours, do you have permission from the owner to use it?

I'll randomly draw the lucky competitors from all forms posted, and will begin throwing scorpions sometime in the morning on Thursday. Good luck!

If you're willing to let people use some of your Sams for dodging, just reply to this post to let everyone know!

I won't be able to make it, and thus all of my Sams are available for use. :3

I can't guarantee I'll be available for the event either, so anyone may use my Sams if they'd like

...do we need to guarantee that we'll be around all Thursday to play, or is it more open where if you can't answer in time you just get stung? If it's the first then please ignore this application; and if it's the second, I look forward to trying to find a way to post between my afternoon classes. XP

I have the same question.

I'd like to join in, but ignore me if we have to be here constantly as I can't guarantee that the babies are going to let me play non-stop. xD

This will be so much fun! I cant wait to play if I get picked

It's an open game, so you could fanatically refresh every five seconds or just come back and check once in awhile and if you're unlucky, you just get stung and the next round continues on without you.

I'm not sure how long the game is going to take, so the amulet drawing will go on the weekend with the other threads from this week in case we still have a round or two to go.

Does that help?

It's entirely possible to play casually and rely on luck. :3 I'll be in classes intermittently and won't be there the whole time either...

Good luck!

I wasn't sure I'd be around to play...but if it's going to be slowish and casual possibly...I'll toss someone in. Not that many of them were particularly eager to go play dodge the scorpion...

I think I've convinced Scrap not to try and add scorpion to her diet while playing... Can't guarantee that she'll refrain from narating the event in rather...exagerated fashion though.
