"Choose your causes carefully, if not, if you try to champion every good cause that comes along, you'll wear yourself out, at best, and worse, become a dilettante -- an ineffective dabbler. Pick a few that are the most near and dear to you, and give them your all, trusting that others are out there handling the other causes with equal fervor."

It's always 5:30pm Pacific / 8:30pm Eastern, Thursday nights, Paragon Chat's Atlas Park.

TUNE IN NEXT WEEK: When our theme will be the Siege of Rome!  Bring in your Cimerorans, your Praetorian Guards, and those who tripped on the way to the past as we try to spend a night without someone saying "Et tu, Brute?"  Next week's contest will be held in Cimerora, NOT ATLAS PARK, so the Screenshots will be different as well. :D  Cimerora can be found at /mapmove 3, or by using /mapmenu in chat to call up a menu: it'll be listed in "Other".

Tune in next week: for our next theme back at Atlas Park, "The Ides of March."  This is a contest specifically for the grey area... Rogues, Vigilantes, Renegades and Spin Doctors.  Bring in your best street tough, backstabber, executrix with a hidden agenda, or puppet master in a pinstripe suit.  This Thursday at 8:30 Eastern, 5:30 Pacific.

ALSO A REMINDER: Next Sunday, March 12th is the start of Daylight Savings Time for United States, as we switch times one month earlier than most countries.  After this week's contest, folks in other countries will notice our event will change to one hour EARLIER than normal, whatever that appears to be in your time zone.

Tune in next week: Through the eyes and the ears of the 'verse, you can't stop the signal.  Next Thursday is all about "Space Cowboys!"  Shiny!!  Bring your less-than-serene rebels with coats of brown, your Rangers of the galaxy, your alien-fightin' cowboys, and Bebop on down to Atlas Park! Come join us for a costume contest worthy of a Browncoat, or any similar character you have made. 

This is in honor of Hoban Washburn, portrayed by Alan Tudyk who turns 46 next Thursday.

ONE LAST REMINDER: United States changes to Daylight Savings Time on 3/12/2017.  Especially for those in other countries, this means our contest will be on ONE HOUR EARLIER until your timezone enters Daylight Savings (or in places that remain on Standard Time, like Arizona, until Fall.)

So, Good News, Bad News...

Good news: This weeks winners are --
@Quasar, who earned a win this week for Critical Mass!
@Platinum Dynamite, who gets Honorable Mention for Captain Star Ranger!

Bad news: As a technical difficulty, the screenshots were not taken. I had the wrong key mapped, since I used a new character other than Costume Contest Man to shoot the pics.  (I have a keyboard that requires a Fn keypress to type Print Screen, so I map it to something else.)

You two, check your messages for possible fixes.

Tune In Later This Week: when our theme will be "Spring Is Coming!"  Bring your favorite flora and fauna to Atlas Park, as in plant and animal heroes and villains!  OR bring in your "Dr. Doolittle/Poison Ivy" character who is a master of either!
