2006-07-18 [Perplexity]: Yuri makes a scary boss. No one will cross her! *grin*

2006-07-19 [Yuriona]: Heh heh heh... }:) I even get my own orc in a cage! How sweet is that?

2006-07-19 [Evilmonk]: Yuri, you have a whole bunch of other worldly assistants at your disposal. Orc, ogres, and a couple of cyclops giants for some muscle. Is this a job or what? =)

2006-07-19 [Yuriona]: Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!! XD

2006-07-19 [Perplexity]: God, it smells like the Elephant House at the zoo in here. *holds nose*

2006-07-19 [Yuriona]: Awww... you'll get used to it. It still smells better than the dungeon back at the bunny hole. ;)

2006-07-19 [Perplexity]: Yeah that place is horrendous - ever since those gerbils got in.

2006-07-20 [Yuriona]: *nods sadly* Yeah, even sulphuric acid doesn't get rid of that smell.

2006-07-20 [Evilmonk]: But it goes great with the house nachos!

2006-07-20 [Yuriona]: That it does. ;)

2006-07-22 [Yuriona]: WHOO HOO!! Banner! XD

2006-07-22 [Mom]: Love the banner...=D

2006-07-22 [Perplexity]: Brought to you by the dynamic duo ^_^

2006-07-22 [bo2]: .... this page still tells me nothing.. where can we see how much us artists are worth?:P we want individual worth here people! jees how can you expect us to work under these conditions?!

2006-07-22 [bo2]: btw really nice banner! looks really neat!^^

2006-07-22 [Cia_mar]: yea  i think i t looks cool too!

2006-07-22 [Evilmonk]: How much we are worth? I am not sure I follow. Betting on any artist pays out even with what you bet. Bet 5 and if they win you get 10 and so on. Yuri is in charge and she is away at the moment, so as soon as I get in contact with her we will try to make things a little more plain for everyone. Bear with us folks! : P

2006-07-23 [bo2]: Ah i see. but how can se see how many people have bet on oneanother?

2006-07-23 [iippo]: Ah, so not like in horse racing, where all the horses have a number like 4:1 where taking a bigger chance pays out better if it works out.

2006-07-23 [Evilmonk]: We thought about doing the 'odds' thing, but chances are someones feelings would get hurt if they were seeded 16th. That and it starts to get complicated and we thought we would just keep the betting simple bet big, win big. Gundwane: That is all up to Yuri. She runs the den so she may want you to know she may not. She is out of town for a bit but when she gets back, ask her how she wants to work it

2006-07-23 [Perplexity]: Gundwane - it is like betting at the Arena in Oblivion! You win double what you bet. =)

2006-07-27 [Cia_mar]: betting is closed... oh boy!

2006-07-27 [Yuriona]: Well ya can't bet until the fight starts and we're still a contestant short. :P

2006-07-27 [Cia_mar]: ah! well that makes sence... but it sure was a shokker to see it... getting butterflies in my tummy!

2006-07-27 [Yuriona]: I've got the creds and accounts set up at least: EVE Creds & Accounts. Still haven't ironed out how the betting is going to work though. :P

2006-07-27 [Cia_mar]: :P

2006-07-28 [Perplexity]: Well, I definitely think the page should remain password protected, so nobody can mess with someone else's bets. Is it okay if they message you, Yuri? As to posting how much is riding on whom, that is something you'llhave to ask Evil about.

2006-07-28 [Yuriona]: Messaging me with bets is definitely the best way to go. :) I don't think I'll post how much is riding on anyone. That's way too much like posting odds, something else that won't be done. I think the only thing I'll be posting here is who they're betting on and when the betting is open or closed.

2006-08-09 [Perplexity]: People can start messaging Yuri with bets now until one day before the round ends - so August 15th bets are closed and judges take over.
You can bet on who will advance to Round 2 (ie. Perplexity or Duredhel, Cia_Mar or Mom, Erin or Urmando, etc.), if there will be any forfeits and/or how many, if Red or Blue will win the whole event (but you may want to hold that bet until later rounds), and anything else Yuri decides you can bet on.

2006-08-09 [Yuriona]: *takes notes*

2006-08-09 [Yuriona]: Yeah, I think the Red Vs Blue betting won't come into affect until Round 2. :)

2006-08-09 [Cia_mar]: are all bets secret or will they be posted?

2006-08-09 [Evilmonk]: The bets are secret so no one gets their 'widdle' feelings hurt when no-one bets on them. lol

2006-08-09 [Cia_mar]: ok... no prob! lol

2006-08-11 [Perplexity]: So, Yuri, have you gotten a lot of bets placed yet?

2006-08-11 [Yuriona]: Just two so far. :/ Its still early though.

2006-08-11 [Cia_mar]: only 2!!!!!!!!!!! oh boy!

2006-08-11 [Perplexity]: I guess I was just in a hurry to get rid of my creds lol

2006-08-11 [Cia_mar]: lol

2006-08-14 [Perplexity]: Everyone better get those bets in quickly - the Den closes tomorrow!

2006-08-14 [Yuriona]: I'm thinking I'll close the Den tomorrow at midnight Elftown time or as soon as all entries are posted, whichever comes first. ;)

2006-08-15 [Cia_mar]: so glad i did not bet on blue to have turned in all the entries before red....*counts precious credits*

2006-08-15 [Perplexity]: Credit monger!

2006-08-15 [Cia_mar]: yeah yeah...*sticks tongue out at [Perplexity]*

2006-08-15 [Cia_mar]: HEY WE'RE HERE!
THE BEST IS YET TO COME
BLUE TEAM!
LOOK OUT FOR NUMBER 1
EXCELLANCE PERFECTION TEAMWORK SUCCESS
THE BLUE TEAM'S
A STEP ABOVE THE REST
PRIDE AND SPIRIT NEED WE SAY MORE
BLUE TEAM, WE ROCK THE FLOOR! GO BLUE!

2006-08-15 [Yuriona]: Yargh... this be neutral territory you! *shakes fist menacingly*

2006-08-15 [Cia_mar]: just trying to have team spirit... no one said the red team couldn't cheer here too!! lol

2006-08-15 [Yuriona]: Again I say: neutral territory. :P

2006-08-15 [Cia_mar]: *glares and mumbles "_{go red}"*

2006-08-15 [Yuriona]: Thank you. :P

2006-08-15 [Yuriona]: *has sudden urge to shout 'Jafar, Jafar, he's our man. If he can't do it GREAT!!'* Dang... been watching too many kids' movies again. LMAO!

2006-08-15 [Cia_mar]: ROFLOL!!!!!

2006-08-17 [Cia_mar]: Well i must say that when the heat is so bad that even when the sun goes down it feels like "Arabian Nights"... the complaints from the kids that there beds are too hot to sleep
makes me have to stay "One Jump Ahead" of them and be sure that all the fans are in place and working properly. Then after they have all fallen into dreamland (hopefully), i get to make my husband feel lucky to have a "Friend Like Me"...
Now he's no "Prince Ali", but marrying him has broadened my horizens and introduced me to "A Whole New World" !!!! *wink*...
Tell me about too many kids shows...i have seen them all!

2006-08-17 [Yuriona]: O_o I think yer brain is dehyrdrated too! LMAO!

2006-08-17 [Cia_mar]: need water? on the brain? lol...

2006-08-17 [Yuriona]: Nope, I'm better now. Just got out of the shower! *towels off*

2006-08-17 [Cia_mar]: lol...

2006-08-23 [Perplexity]: Did everyone get bets placed for Round 2??? I'm feelin' real lucky, punks!

2006-09-09 [Mom]: Are we taking bets on round three now?

2006-09-09 [Yuriona]: Yup... sorry about that. ^^'

2006-09-21 [Perplexity]: Just in case someone did not see the notice above: "Since Yuri is participating in Tournament 2, message [Evilmonk] with all bets please. Bets placed in the comment area will be ignored."

2006-09-21 [Yuriona]: That reminds me... I gotta send Evil my notes from the first round. Of course, I'd need a working email address for that. :P

2006-10-02 [Cia_mar]: lol...hard to keep up with the changes around here...  *wink*

2006-10-02 [Yuriona]: :P

2007-01-09 [Cia_mar]: hey are we open yet.. the new art is posting and the deadline is today!!!
