Prompt Tables 02.26 - Team Challenge

[prisca]

Participation in the team challenge is optional. If you don't want to participate, no one will blame you. But keep in mind that in this case, you will miss the chance to earn more points.

In this team challenge we will have two teams but only one card, which will get filled with all participants together.

Important Links (will get added when the challenge starts)
Team Alpha
Team Omega

The Rules
Both teams will play on the same card.
There are 36 squares = prompts.
Every square can be filled multiple times by different participants.

Every participant can fill one square every week.
All worktypes are allowed.
Minimum graphics: 1 icon
Minimum writing: 1 haiku / 1 drabble

Points
Every filled prompt will bring one point for your team / one individual point.

The Dice
Once a week, I will roll the dice. One square of each line will get a double chance; one square of the card will get a triple chance.
If a chance square is filled, the team points and the individual points for this fill will count 2x / 3x.
The chance squares will get reallocated every Sunday.

Completing the card will bring 5 extra points for the finishing team.

When a card is completed, there will be a new card!


Posting
Post your work at fandom_empire_workplace.
Use a cut for works bigger than three icons / one haiku.
Make a note in the subject line = week x and team, and tag the work with your team tag (and any other appropriate tag).

Prompt Tables 02.26 - Rules and Points

[prisca]

For this challenge, we have three different prompt tables. Every table comes with 49 prompts. You will grab one of them when signing up.

General rules
Every Sunday, I will roll the die to appoint your weekly main prompt (based on your table) and one extra chance. Extra chances are not on the table, but there is a secret list I keep in the background. You can ignore them, or combine them with your main prompt or your neighbor prompts.

To participate, you must create something in response to the main prompt.

You can also use one/two neighbour prompts (all squares around your weekly main prompt) to create one work for each.

The extra chance comes with a request or offers a small benefit. The use is optional. Don't create an extra work for it, but combine it with one, two, or all of your weekly prompts.

Example Post here.

:::

Every prompt can be used only once during the challenge period!

You are not allowed to combine the main prompt with a neighbor prompt.
Both neighbor prompts can be combined into one work.
The extra chance can be combined with every work.

Fandom works, original works, and real-person works are allowed. Crossover works are fine.

Icons and graphic works should be edited visibly.

You can only play one table at a time. If you want to change your table, you can use some tokens from your Joker card.

Joker Card
At the beginning of the challenge, everyone gets one Joker Card with 15 tokens.
You can use these tokens in different ways:
1. Missed week - use three tokens, and you can catch up with the week later.
2. Change your main prompt - use five tokens, and you can choose a different main prompt.
3. Change the card - use four tokens to choose a different card. Keep in mind, if you want to do more fills for your first card later, you will have to use four tokens again to go back!

Minimum and Points
1. Main Prompt
You get one main prompt every week. To participate, you must create one work for it.

Minimum
200 words
2 connected haiku
1 poem (ten lines)
3 icons
1 animated graphic (150x300 pxl)
1 graphic (300x500 pxl)

You will earn 3 points for filling the prompt.

2. Neighbor Prompts (optional)
You can choose one/two neighbor prompts every week.

Minimum
100 words
1 haiku
1 poem (five lines)
1 icon
1 graphic (150x300 pxl)

You will earn 1 point for every filled prompt.

3. Extra Chance (optional)
Every week offers an extra chance. Combine the extra chance with one, two, or all of your weekly prompts. Rewards can be extra points for following a request or small benefits.

Team Challenge
Again we will have a team challenge for even more extra points. Check it out here..
