I decided I might as well begin the forum's first Endurance discussion thread here in the Dark Forest. This channel has all the episodes you can watch and see how the season plays out:

A few more things to mention:

• Contrary to what you're thinking, each season of Endurance will have its own thread— this is the Endurance 1: Catalina Island thread.
• Another feature is that you can discuss your thoughts about the episodes of each respective season and one user can write an detailed synopsis from their point-of-view about each episode.
• Before posting anything about a team, contestant or episode, get a little nitpicky and see the individual parts that compose the episode's storyline.
• Finally, if you have any complaints, concerns, etc., see me for further explanations!

Okay, I'm starting this topic since we don't have a zodiac-themed one so far, so I'll start off with this post (using my birth sign):

A Virgo can be pigeonholed as this weak and delicate person, but they're adventurous and selfless and secretive, doggonit!!

The challenges in this have multiple systems that will be negotiated such as Hurt and Heal, Listings, Elimination and many others. The user that gets the necessary expectations I'm looking for in the challenge will win the responsibility of giving one team the Samadhi or sending two teams to face elimination at the Temple of Fate. The users who get the lowest of my expectations will be the one handicapped by the samadhi or battling it out at the Temple of Fate. So, be careful whom you choose and play well!

If you wish to select a season-specific Legends team, send me a PM and I'll get back to you as soon as possible!
