The mid-afternoon sun beats down harshly on the training grounds. The knights feel sluggish as they wait for dinner to be called. Training all day zaps their energy. Food awaits them inside, but due to space and time constraints caused by the YWStival, only half of the knights can receive their dinner at one time.

Arguments, as they do every mealtime, begin to erupt about who should go first. The Knights seem to have drawn lines between the East Wing of the castle and the West Wing of the castle. The knights, tired and worn from the day's conquests, will do anything to earn the right to be the first to eat. Hands rest on still-sheathed swords.

Knight Elinor, resting under a shaded tree, stands and makes a propostion to her bretheren.

"My friends, why don't we settle this with a fair food competition?"

The knights turn. They listen.

"We will enter the Green Room, and each wing will stick together. I will tally score of each conquest that we make. If you conquer a work with one review, one point will be added to your fair food total. If you conquer a work with zero reviews, one point will be added to your wing's total and will also be subtracted from the total of another team.

"We shall depart the Green Room after one week, and the victorious team will emerge with the Fair Food Badge, which will grant them first access to the dining room."



The knights exchange glances. It seems to be a fair way to settle the dispute.

"Now then, if you're with me, declare your allegiance!

"Knights of the East Wing identify with the elements of water and air -- they especially take to heart the edict that Knights of the Green Room fight with knowledge. A wise group indeed, Knighthood means to them the honor of serving the people who live in their villages and towns.

"Knights of the West Wing identify more with the elements of fire and earth -- a veritable volcano of brute strength, these Knights identify with the element of loyalty in the Knights of the Green Room's motto. For these Knights, it is the thrill of killing beasts in the outerlands that makes Knighthood enriching and worthwhile.

"Take your side. And prepare."


The first Fair Food Fight will run during the YWStival, from November 13th 00:00 GMT until November 17th 00:00 GMT. All Green Room Reviews bestowed during this time and reported on this thread will count toward your team's potential victory.

I do declare the services of Knight Hannah for the glory of the East Wing!

I lift my sword and declare my allegiances to the East Wing!

Knight Eloquent thus pledges allegience to the West Wing.

Knight Elinor pledges allegiance to the West Wing!

Fortis the Fortieth Pledges allegiance to no man! the East Wing!

A little confused... Does it make a difference what wing??

Knight Pokey pledges allegiance to the East Wing!

@PeanutPhoebe - yes! The Wings are the teams you'll be competing with

I believe in the conquest of knowledge! I take sides with the east wing!

Well yes, but like do either have advantages the other doesn't and does it matter which we choose?

@PeanutPhoebe - Nope!

Okay, there are 5 people on the East Wing and only 2 for the West! Let's see some West Wingers. 8D

OK, then, I pledge my loyalty to the East Wing!! (If I have time;)

I will not leave my fellow knights bereft so despite my love of knowledge and my water affinity, I will hail to the West Wing for loyalty and love!
