ROUND THIRTEEN: HANGING IN THE BALANCE
Come on in, guys! Immunity is at stake once again.
Today's challenge is something a bit different for our series. And in this case, different might be "bad" to you.
In your confessional, you are to create two topics, one called "IC#13 Right Side" and the other called "IC#13 Left Side." Doesn't need to be exactly that as long as I know which one is right and which one is left. Your goal is to hold onto both sides for as long as possible by posting this at the specified intervals:
"[NAME] holds on to [right/left] side*
You HAVE to post the correct side for each topic. That's to make copy-pasting all the tougher. The trick with the intervals is that they will get more difficult as you continue.
For the first 30 minutes, you will post in each topic once every 3 minutes.
For the second 30 minutes, you will post in each topic once every 2 minutes.
For the third 30 minutes, you will post in each topic once every minute.
For the fourth 30 minutes, you will post in each topic twice every minute.
For the fifth 30 minutes, you will post in each topic thrice every minute.
For the sixth 30 minutes, you will post in each topic four times per minute.
And from then on, you will add one post every 30 minutes to BOTH topics.
You must post on the EXACT intervals (in BOTH topics - so you'll need to make both topics at the same time and post again in them at the same time) and post the EXACT amount of times. You WILL be allowed to delete your posts if you mess up at this stage. Just make sure you do enough.
If you make the two topics and they have different timestamps, please delete them both and start over. I will allow that, but I will NOT allow you to attempt the challenge again after you've made the first reply. At that point, once you mess up, well...
If you mess up on one side, you will slip from that side. If you do, you will have to post SOLELY in your other topic at a rate of EXACTLY 10 posts per minute. If you are in this situation, you may NOT delete your posts. If you do, you will drop at the time denoted in the log.
To summarize:
If you start the challenge at 1:00, it will look like this:
1:00 to 1:29: Post once every three minutes in each topic
[1:03, 1:06, 1:09, etc. - same time in BOTH topics]
1:30 to 1:59: Post once every two minutes in each topic
2:00 to 2:29: Post once every minute in each topic
2:30 to 2:59: Post twice a minute in each topic
3:00 to 3:29: Post thrice a minute in each topic
3:30 to 3:54: Post four times a minute in each topic
MESS UP ON LEFT SIDE at 3:54 - [you may no longer delete your posts after this]
3:54 to whenever: Post 10 times a minute in the right side topic
Your time will end whenever "whenever" is.
I am not looking forward to tallying this one, but I wanted to do this. Have fun with it.
Jury members, you are still allowed to compete in this challenge. HOWEVER, after this round, the twist is over, since the number of people on the jury will be greater than the people remaining, and from a challenge standpoint, that's just too powerful.
The person who lasts for the longest obviously wins immunity. As usual, if it's a jury member, it's their call what to do with it. This one is a big one, so if you have questions, you'll know where to find me.
Survivors ready? GO!
