ROUND FIVE: STEALING THE JEWELS
Come on in, guys! Kelly B booted last round.
Tribal immunity is back up for grabs!
Today's challenge is perhaps the most loved and, at the same time, most hated in this series. Some of you have very fond memories of this classic, while others have not very fond memories. Considering this is the fourth time we've done this challenge - fifth doing a variant of it - pretty much any of you veterans know what to expect here. And it's not like you haven't seen things like this before.
The goal is to capture the jewels that the other tribe is holding; however, this game is more strategic than you would expect.
At any time in the next 24 hours, you may sneak over to the other tribe's camp by posting:
*[NAME] sneaks into [TRIBE's] camp*
You must then wait for 10 minutes to be able to post:
*[NAME] grabs a jewel*
and then another 10 minutes later, you may post:
*[NAME] returns to camp with jewel [#]*
During this time, someone from THE OTHER TRIBE may "catch" you by posting:
*[NAME] catches [INTRUDER]*
If you are caught, you will be CAPTURED by the enemy tribe. There is no limit to how many hostages may be held, and when you're captured, you can't do anything to get out yourself. Feel free to have sex all you want, but it's not going to do anything.
In order to free a hostage, someone who hasn't been captured must post as follows:
*[NAME] sneaks into [TRIBE's] camp*
And then, 4 minutes later:
*[NAME] frees [HOSTAGE]*
Then, after 4 minutes minimum, BOTH THE RESCUER AND THE HOSTAGE MUST POST:
*[NAME] returns to camp*
You may ONLY FREE ONE HOSTAGE per trip. You may NOT steal a jewel while freeing a hostage. You CAN ALSO be caught while returning to your camp, which would place you in the cell. HOWEVER, you may NOT capture two people in the same post - please do so in separate posts. If you do them both in one post, it will not count.
If you are sneaking into the other tribe's camp or are a hostage yourself, you MAY NOT capture members of the opposing tribe. You can't be in two places at once. Also, times need not be exact. You can wait 5 minutes instead of 4 to free a hostage, for instance, but do so at your own risk.
You MAY modify your posts. You may NOT delete your posts - if you do, you're considered captured. I will allow you to blend your text in, but if you use
There is no limit to the number of players that can be sneaking into a tribe's camp at any given time, but keep in mind that if your stash of jewels is undefended, the other tribe can march right in.
Also, Babs Chu has one more member than Gnas Ri, therefore the first seven people from Babs Chu to post in this topic will be the ones playing. The person who doesn't post will be the sit-out. It might be a good idea to talk about this in your tribe camp beforehand!
There are three ways to win this challenge:
- Capture all seven members of the other tribe
- Steal thirty [30] jewels from the enemy tribe's camp
- Have the most jewels after 24 hours
If NEITHER tribe has been fully caught or has any jewels (or there is a tie), we will go to a sudden death challenge between whoever is online to represent each tribe. Losers go vote someone out at Tribal.
Please do everything in THIS THREAD!
Any questions, hit me up on AIM. Good luck to both tribes! Survivors ready? GO!!!
