Introduction
Exceptional students attending an exceptional school and now you face your first exceptional challenge.
Traditional students have discovered over the years the bond that is developed by working together with their fellowship brothers and sisters. These are the bonds that hold the Awlyn together as we live alongside humans, hiding our true identities. This will be the first time many of you have participated in the fellowship program as we have not been able to offer this to distance learning students in the past.
Fellowship Points
At the end of each week the fellowship with the most challenge points will be awarded 2 fellowship points. 1 fellowship point will be awarded to the second place fellowship and none to the final fellowship. Challenge points will reset to 0 when the next challenge begins.
The challenge has now officially begun, please contact the designated faculty member for clarification of any rules if needed.
Fellowship Total Points
After 1 challenge:
Cygnus: 2
Eridanus: 1
Andromeda: 0
Challenge 1: Code Blue
Since we have yet to establish a student council to plan and organize challenges I have shuffled through some of our older challenges and picked some for the next few weeks. This week: Code Blue.
Code Blue Rules
1. Students must be seen wearing blue in some form or fashion
2. Students may post their pictures anywhere on the internet and link to it in response to this thread
3. Students will be rewarded for originality, humor, and difficulty. (to be determined by faculty)
4. Students must post their links by 5pm Central Daylight Time Sunday the 28th of September 2008.
5. Students may post multiple times with their last link being the only one to count.
6. Students may provide links to video and/or images
7. Students must not make their identity as an awlyn apparent. Those of you who can physically change into another form may do so, but you may not perform this transformation on any publicly available sites. Those of you who are werewolves and your monthly cycle has begun you may upload to the school forum.
8. Students MAY include the name of the school or fellowship in their image or video.
Code Blue Points
-Fellowship will be awarded 1 point for each picture of member seen wearing blue
-Fellowship will be awarded 2 points for each video of member seen wearing blue
-Fellowship will be awarded 1 point for name of fellowship in video or image
-Fellowship will be awarded 2 points for name of the school in video or image
-Fellowship will gain 2 additional points for each member rewarded for originality or humor
-Fellowship will gain 3 additional points for each member rewarded for difficulty
-Fellowship will gain 10 additional points for most original, humorous, or difficult of all fellowships
Note: The name of the school and/or fellowship is to allow alumni the opportunity to enjoy the work of our students. The school's website has been designed to prevent human intruders from mistakenly finding their way into the school or finding information about the Awlyn from the portions of the site they can access.
Points
Most difficult: Iblees (Eridanus) with a video of himself playing a blues song on a saxophone. This video showed great effort and skill.
Most humorous: Vespar (Cignus) with a video which does not initially have much humor but once he begins singing (all be it off pace) with the song, we all had a few good giggles.
Most original: Theillustratedman (Andromeda) which was so absolutely adorable.
Cygnus: 46
Eridanus: 35
Andromeda: 23
Challenge 2: This is who I am
The school cannot officially support SEALs, but as headmistress I can do what I can to help support them. This week's challenge is designed to help support SEALs and get students active.
This is who I am rules
For this challenge students will be promoting SEALs through video or image with a few simple points -
Name
What the students likes
followed by the bold statement of "I am me"
A sample would be the student looking into the camera and saying the following
"I am Guinevere DeGrance, I like educating youth, and I am me"
Points will be allowed for friends of the students posting their own videos. In order to get credit for your friends posting videos, you must link to their videos in the thread and the video should include the name of the student in the description. The same rule applies to images. Multiple pictures and videos are allowed this week.

Bonus Fellowship Point
Remembering that challenge points are earned during the challenge to gain fellowship points:
You have the opportunity to help your fellowship earn 1 bonus fellowship point. This bonus point can help distance your fellowship from the others in the overall standings or bring you closer to catching up.
The bonus point challenge:
Design a T-Shirt for St. Laudine's Academy!
The only stipulation for this design is to include the name of the school or SLA in the design.
The winning design will be voted on by the student council.
If you have any questions about this bonus challenge please contact your student council president.
Deadline extension
On October 6th the following was posted by DeGrange:
Due to limited participation last week we are going to extend this challenge until midnight next Sunday to ensure that all of our distance learning students have the opportunity to participate.
