ROUND NINE: SKYSTACK
Come on in, guys! Dolly voted out at the last Tribal Council.
I'll take back immunity... back up for grabs!
However, this is the last time you're seeing this, because...
DROP YOUR BUFFS, YOU HAVE MERGED
You now covet this thing, which you have seen before:
Yum.
Here's the flag:
Anyway, your name is འབྲུག་སྐད་བརྒྱབ ('brug skad brgyab). Even though I can't even pronounce it, this is "Dragon's Voice" in Tibetan, and it's commonly used to refer to thunder. And trust me, there are storms up there. I lived through one.
Onto your first challenge as a merged tribe!
In today's challenge, you'll be stacking plates. Sound simple? Think again.
You each have been given six elements of plates:
 |  |  |
EARTH | FLAME | MEADOW |
SKY | TOXIC | ZAP |
 |  |  |
Okay, yes, those happen to be Arceus Plates from Pokemon Platinum. What's it to you?

Okay, maybe as a reference to my fanfic.......
So yeah, you'll be stacking them. The twist is that you can only stack one plate every 10 minutes... and you may only place a plate of its specific element in its specific tower. Meaning you may only place Earth Plates on top of Earth Plates, Flame Plates on top of Flame Plates, etc. You only get ONE Plate per 10 minutes, not one per thread. You MAY do a Meadow Plate one time and a Toxic Plate the next, it makes no difference. It is every 10 minutes MINIMUM - you can wait 14 minutes if you wish, I don't care.
You are to make six topics in your confessional, one for each type of Plate. When you post, add an image; I'd prefer it done in rows or a pyramid so I can count more easily. If it is a vertical stack, I'm not going to tally it. It'll be a pain in the ass.
Meaning:
10:02:
10:13
10:23
10:33
Etc.
Your goal here is to make as high a tower as possible for each kind of plate. The more plates you have in a tower, the more points you get. Here's how this is going to work. You will get points based on your placing for EACH TOWER.
1st place = 10 points
2nd place = 8 points
3rd place = 5 points
4th place = 3 points
5th place = 2 points
6th place = 1 point
Anything below 6th = 0 points
These points will be awarded based on placement in EACH tower, so if you're first with Zap Plates, third with Toxic Plates, sixth with Flame Plates, and under sixth with everything else, you'll get 19 points in total. You NEED strategy here, and you can only guess what towers the others are pursuing. Please do NOT share this information with anyone or, well, I'll be livid. Trust me.
Whoever has the most total points after 24 hours wins immunity. If there is a tie, all parties involved in the tie win immunity. If for some reason there is a 9- or 10-way tie, nobody gets immunity.
Any further questions, let me know, I will be around. Good luck everyone! Survivors ready? GO!
