Hello campers and welcome to the first Prophecy Preceding Event: Capture the Flag! The event will begin Saturday, July 20th at 12:00am EST and will end Sunday, July 28th at 11:59pm EST. This effectively gives you over a week to participate in order to accommodate our writers’ varying schedules as activity will be key and we want to give everyone a chance to participate!
Since Capture the Flag is a favorite game amongst our characters, we wanted to make this a fun and competitive experience for our writers as well! The rules for the game will be listed below and have been posted in advance so that our writers can ask questions and be sure they understand the rules before we get started this weekend!
We will be dividing the group into two teams, Red Team and Blue Team. These teams will be announced at the start of the event, and will be determined by the admins without input from the writers.
The goal of the game is to earn as many points as you can for your team over the course of the event and the way to earn points is as follows:
Please tag all posts for the Capture the Flag Event using the hashtag ProphecyEvent001 along with ProphecyRed or ProphecyBlue to let the rest of camp know which team you are earning points for.
Starters and replies posted specifically for this event will be worth 1 point. This means you cannot tag your old/existing threads with event hashtags for points- don’t do it, it won’t count.
Drabbles over 500 words will be worth 2 points, and anything over 1000 words will be worth 5 points. Please include a word count at the end of your drabble or in the tags!
Original edits and mood boards are worth 3 points.
Playlists over 10 songs are worth 3 points, over 20 songs will be worth 5 points.
If you know you will not be around for the event and have not told us yet, please let us know as soon as possible so we can plan accordingly. We will have something worked out to include you if you are able to get on at all.
There will be an update for the event posted mid-way on Wednesday, July 24th at 5pm EST in order to keep activity high during the event and keep things interesting!!
After a long day of Capture the Flag, one team has finally succeeded!
The Blue teams strategy of keeping the flag away from the larger area of troops worked for them pretty well until Matthew Murtaugh figured out their plan! While his siblings in the Ares cabin didn’t listen, Adara Davis from the Hepheastus cabin trusted her friend, which led to the capture of the flag- locking in a win for the Red Team!
Congratulations to the Red Team for winning the first game of capture the flag! This is information that you may use in your threads moving forward. While everyone did an amazing job, the admin team felt that Megan really helped with pulling her team to victory. We look forward to allowing each of our members to shine in some way during the events that will be held.
With the event officially being over, no new threads can be made about the event. Although Head Cannons / Drabbles will be allowed. And existing threads may be completed as well!
With this, please feel free to move your timelines forward to Saturday, June 12th 1976 until Saturday, June 26th 1976!
Any questions, feel free to send a message and we’ll be sure to answer it.
Finally it’s Friday! Which means that we are officially open for interactions. Current members: Please date your threads for Monday, June 7th 1976 - Thursday, June 11th 1976 as we have something special planned for Friday when we’re ready for it!!
Hello Camp Half-blood! After much consideration between both Mr. D and myself, we have decided that it would be best to postpone acceptances. Our new acceptance date will be May 10th. However, if we reach 5 applications before May 10th, we will accept sooner! So get those applications in quickly so we can start off the summer season.
