Yay for literature!

Teams: In this competition we will start with 2 teams of 8. Everyone will write about a subject. I will then judge each entry. When your team loses you vote off 2 people from your team.
Scoring: I judge on a scale from 1 to 10. After all scores are added up, the team with the lower score will lose. I will show all individual scores.
The Literature Games: Once 8 people are left in the competition, you fight 1v1v1v1, in a huge arena. I will give you a basic description of the arena, and then you write about killing all the competitors in the arena. You get to choose 1 weapon to start with. This is called the Literature Games (Yes like the hunger games.) One person will survive, then you fight the winner of the other Games.
The Finale: You fight 1v1 with special powers and again one weapon of choice. Both entries are mutated so that it takes very much to kill. You will have to write about that. You also have to write about training, which is 3 days long. Again you will fight in an arena, which will be given to you.

Note:[b] You will be given this information again when the round comes

[b]Note:
The whole thing is writing. No pictures, and by fighting to the death I mean writing about fighting to the death. By training I mean writing about training, etc.
I know pretty obvious, so don't ask about it.

Note: Each round can only be so long. I will wait for you to finish, but if you take too long you will automatically be eliminated. If you know you will take long, please notify me.

[i]Note: You will be given updates all throughout the competition by me, so please do not close your messenger.

Remember just 16 participants, 8 on each team.

Fallen, ninja animals are strictly for Strop. Try a Shaolin Monk fox.

I need more info. Am I escaping the island by myself? What supplies do we already carry? Is this supposed to be modern or archaic?

Decide for yourself, Possum.

Also, kinda curious as to why I'm being listed as a heavy-hitter. Have you been reading my WoM entries?

I tend to go inactive for long periods of time but I have foggy memories about you being a good writter...There's this hunch that tells me you're good with grammar and syntax - must come from the average quality of your regular posts - and that blurry remembrance I have about you just urge me to worry...

How am I supposed to decide for myself? Seeing as this is a team effort, we all need to be on the same page. Also, are we using our regular selves, or fictional alter-egos?

Your blurry feelings are correct, Fallen! I beat Gantic. Gantic. Okay, so I beat him because he was absent... but still, I wrote a pretty good entry that time.

How am I supposed to decide for myself?
By using the information given to figure out the rest.

Great, I've always wanted to be the weakest link...

Are you going to make another thread for submissions?

We should have a team name. I'm thinking some sort of writing based pun, maybe:

The Ill Iterates.

or...

Litter Nature.

I think those are sufficiently groan worthy.
Any other suggestions?
