I have a list, none of them gave me their cabin preferences, but I have them in the order of who signed up first.

Ok, so just to make sure everyone's clear on how we're adding points, it will be just like SWC. So, the campers will just post something like, “Done the daily for Cowboy!” or something like that. Then after a lot (or a few) of those sort of comments have been posted a leader can comment something like, “Adding all below!” Then they start at the bottom of the comments that haven't been added and work their way up. They'll reply to each comment that says they completed a daily with somethings like, “Added!” to let the camper know that their points have been added. Once you've responded with “Added!”, you'll then go to This project and post how many points and for what cabin. Like: “+500 points to Cowboy!” Then you just repeat that until you've gone through each camper.

Oh and I have a question - for adding words, how's that going to work? I was thinking I'd just have a project where my campers could add their words in the comments (similar to the main cabin point-adding project) but if there's a different plan just lmk

Hey, Mayhem! I think for adding words in your cabin, you can do it however you like. I personally am just going to have my campers comment in my studio, but I think it's fine for you to do it in whatever way works best for you. <3

Yeah, for cabin wars, you post one of the wars into another cabin like this:

“Hi, from Huff! Cabin wars! Write 2,000 words as a cabin in the next 4 hours or else lose 600 points. Extra challenge: write only in third person omniscient as a group for 100 points!”

Then, campers from the cabin you warred, respond to that comment saying something like “+125 words from a short scene.” Until they have completed the war. They will let you know if it is completed by saying something like “This war is finished!”

Are we having a shield of time after a cabin is warred that they cannot be warred? How long would it be?
