Whether you are a fan of Peter Pan or Captain Hook (Disney version pictured above) or neither, the battles between them are very entertaining. What other heroes and villains in literature, movies, comic books, etc. do you enjoy seeing go head-to-head? Each post is worth 5 emerald shards for the Villains. You may post up to three times for a maximum of 15 emerald shards. Your post must be at least five sentences in length and you cannot post back to back. Try to respond to what others have posted!

Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? Reveal your true colors by creating an avatar and/or signature for this year's Heroes versus Villains Emerald Cup! Have you sworn your loyalty to the Heroes or will you align with the Villains? Avatars are 100x100 pixels and signatures are 250x100 pixels in size. Post your avatar/signature below and use them for the duration of Emerald Cup. Earn 5 emerald shards for an avatar; 10 emerald shards for a signature! This time, YOU get to decide to whether the emerald shards go to the Heroes or the Villains, so remember to choose a side when you post! (If graphic-making isn't one of your superpowers, no worries! Write out your design in words and maybe someone will be able to bring it to life for you.)

Following our recent Read-Along venture into the Department of Mysteries, it seems that a stray Time-Turner has found its way into the Dungeons. Unfortunately, this Time-Turner is faulty, transporting the entire Dungeons into a different era of time each week. The time-hopping has not been good for our beloved Emerald Cup, which is now missing many emerald shards. We need your help to recover all of the emerald shards to fix the Emerald Cup! It turns out that our emerald shards are quite valuable and have sparked the classic Heroes versus Villains battle in each time period. In the next five weeks, some tasks will benefit the Heroes and others will aid the Villains, but your allegiance will be tested by a few assignments. Will the Heroes or the Villains find more emerald shards? Which side will ultimately gain control of the Emerald Cup? We expect the Time-Turner to bring us all back to the present at the end of June. All tasks (except IRC activities) are due 30 June. (All HOL members, regardless of house, are invited to help! Any emerald shards that you accumulate will be converted to Scales to add to your individual collection when the Emerald Cup is restored.)
