I do have a couple of comments about what's been said, I haven't participated in the bloodsports as of yet. But I fully intend to start from the start and do what I can :)
The bloodsports are there to help give people a brief which will in turn produce a piece for a person's portfolio. Not only just a piece for your portfolio but something that you can in turn explain the brief for the picture and why you selected certain elements and it's reasoning.
Also, they are preparing people for the fact that if they go into this area of work, they will have requests from people regarding subjects that they hate. So you do have to challenge yourself and do the ones even you hate to end up with that piece for your portfolio/get paid for the job.
I do agree with the break and intend to be prepared to join in the moment they restart.
