So now that I have several people from each banch, I want to go ahead and post the plot of 'Into the Gauntlet: The Ultimate Challenge'.
So picture this...you get an e-mail that looks like this:
To: Ashley (Insert Authors name here)
From: Rick Riordan
Subject: Into the Gauntlet: The Ultimate Challenge
Message:
Dear Ashley (SteelBone2),
Hello. You have been chosen among 19 others from the vast fanbase of The 39 Clues series to compete in a Challenge. The Ultimate Challenge.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Rick Riordan. I am one of the Authors of The 39 Clues series. I knwo this may all be confusing, so let me break it up for you.
First off, no, this is not a group e-mail. This is personal to you from me. If you want proof, I can tell you that you're running for Message Board Janus Leader right now.
Secondly, last week on the Message Board, we sent out a poll to every user asking the 20 most popular people. You were one of the voted ones. Congratulations.
Next up, the reason you 20 have been chosen is because many people believe The 39 Clues series is real. Sadly, at the current moment, it's not. You will change that.
You and the other 19 will be taken to one of the Scholastic Headquarters to meet me and some of the other authors in person. There, you all will be given $10,000, each. You will then be sent on an all-summer Challenge to find the 39 Clues scattered all around the world.
The best part? It will all be on television.
No one will be in an alliance. It will be one-on-one. You can make alliances throughout the challenge, but ultimately, there will be one winner.
The winner will earn a nice $25,000 to keep and be mentioned in a 39 Clues book.
Please respond saying if you are able to compete. Thank you, and remember to Trust no one.
Rick Riordan
Do you guys accept the Challenge? I hope you like the plot!
~Ashley

OOPS! The second Rebekah is actually Vicky! Sorry, guys! Lol
So the list is:
1. ASHLEY
2. GRACE
3. JOE
4. KATHERINE
5. VIOLET
6. DAVID
7. JASON
8. KURT
9. DRACIA
10. RED
11. HARPER
12. ISABEL
13. KELLY
14. CARL
15. WILLIAM
16. EM
17. DANI
18. LIZ
19. MARILYN
20. REBEKAH
21. MADELIN
22. VICKY
23. EMILY
24. LIVY
25. MIKS
26. LEAD REPORTER
REPEAT!
And remember, guys; since this story takes place in real life, no one will be greater than anyone else. In fact, I'd like all of the authors to post a strength their character will have, and a weakness. You may do one strength per weakness you supply.
WEAKNESSES: Jumping to conclusions, goofing off, most Physical stuff, clumsiness.
STRENGTHS: Absolute Pitch (Can replicate sounds and voices), Street smarts, running.
You can add more later, but remember, if you want three strengths, you need at least three weaknesses. And your strengths can't be stuff like 'I can destroy anyone by looking at them!' Please. Make it realistic. And also, give a REALISTIC weakness, not 'I trip sometimes', because then I'll cut one of your strengths.

There won't be families, but you guys can make alliances with other players (And, of course, you can call your family ;) )
And the Vespers will be just like other players in the game. It's just a way to make alliances easier, because it would be easier to make an alliance with people in your branch. But you guys can make alliances with anyone you wanna, just be prepared to be backstabbed a few times ;)
Oh, and here's the strength I forgot to add (I had four Weaknesses and three strengths, so it counts!) Memory (Not as good as Dan's, but pretty darn good ;) )

Strengths huh? Uhhhh....physical stuff (includes running, hand to hand, etc.), charming/trickery, and Uhhhh just keep it at two. I guess I'm not very well rounded:p (does that count as a weakness? If not, I'll think of 2more) so how about.....weaknesses... Planning (I just like to take action immediately, as you may know:), and.... Pole vaulting? Lol JUST KIDDING! So the final weakness is Uhhhh...overconfidence! (maybe that will explain why I can't find any more weaknesses, haha) so....yea.

Liz- Definately! But let's try not to ally with too many people. I don't think it's needed or that it's good. Just more people you have to share with. Let's not do more than 3-4 in our allience, and start out as just us. Is that okay with you?

is accepting the challenge.
(I already posted earlier but I realy wanted to say that. You're right, it is fun. Ok, here's my list:)
Strengths: Fast, always seems to have a gadget for the job, has street smarts & lab/school smarts. Is a linguist. (this basically means she knows many languages.)
Weaknesses: Compassionate*,fearless**, can't lie to save her own life. Gets jet lag horribly.
*this does not seem like a weakness, but it is if there's someone between you & a clue.
Someone with compassion wouldn't kill/injure the other person to get that clue.
**it's a strength & a weakness just like compassion.
But I'm counting it as a weakness.It would make the character too bold and they'd jump into any dangerous situation
