ROUND EIGHT: I LIVE YOU
Come on in, guys! Amber voted out at the last Tribal Council.
And once again, Tribal immunity back up for grabs!
I know I said that today's challenge was non-live, but to tell the truth... it isn't completely. Yes, this one is *supposed* to be a 24-hour challenge [and we know why tomorrow won't work], but at the same time, it's also live. The live part won't happen until Thursday, because Thursday night, you're going to be competing in a live challenge, starting at 10 PM EDT. However, I have nothing planned for it, so that's your job.
Five people from each tribe will put together a live challenge that can take any time up to three hours (yes, that means it has to be possible). Then, at 10 PM EDT Thursday, the OTHER tribe will be subjected to your creation, while THEIR creation will be forced upon you. You want to create a challenge hard enough to stump the other tribe long enough for you to finish their challenge. And they're going to be doing the same thing for you. Remember: Put the answers in a SEPARATE post from the challenge instructions. I want you to write out an entire explanation, which will be posted in the other tribe's camp. If I have to put it together myself, that one [as revised by me] will get posted first, giving the other tribe an advantage. I will try my best to post the two challenges simultaneously by having two windows open, so, unless you decide to make my life hard, worry not about that
There are no limits to what you can do for a challenge, as long as it's live and can be completed in under three hours. Feel free to do as many tasks as you please that fit within the time limit. If you need me to set up a locked forum or two or anything like that, don't hesitate to ask. I'll take care of them.
I would like you to make three threads for this challenge as they come up:
1. Planning
2. Final draft of the challenge + answers + any forums/accommodations needed
3. Topic for the other tribe's challenge
Just a warning: I *may* need to make a few minor changes to your challenge. I will not change any tasks, but I do not think it's a good idea to require all five participating members of the other tribe to be online and to post at once. I know people have lives and don't want to wreck that. So please, don't require all five to be online. And don't make the tasks impossible, either. The possibilities are endless - feel free to look at past live challenges in the series to get an idea of what I do. Sliders, jigsaws, encrypted songs, passwords - the possibilities are endless. If you do a password, I'll need to check that it's possible. Those aren't easy to design properly, so if you need help let me know.
For now, you have a bit over 48 hours - until 9:45 EDT Thursday - to prepare a LIVE challenge that isn't impossible. If your final draft is posted any later than 9:45, you forfeit the challenge. I will be needing a little time to prepare, and last-minute stuff will disrupt that. You guys know you don't want to see my eyes shooting lasers again. I know I don't. At 10:00 PM EDT Thursday, BOTH tribes will start working on the other tribe's challenge. The first tribe to finish wins immunity, and the losers go to Tribal Council. The winners will ALSO get a little bonus or two, so I can say that you want to win this one. That means DON'T THROW IT or you'll regret it a lot!
If you have questions, it's probably best to PM me or ask here. I'll have my phone and will check that stuff periodically as time allows; but you won't be seeing me on AIM tonight and probably not until very late tomorrow. Here's wishing my sister a happy 21st, and also a happy twenty-seventh birthday to someone very dear to me
Good luck to both tribes, and have fun with this! Survivors ready? GO!!!
