This was the first individual immunity challenge:

Now that you’re settled in, it’s time for your first INDIVIDUAL immunity challenge!

I would like to decorate the klan profile page with more than just the Survivor: ForumWarz logo. So your task is to create a flag representing your new tribe. The flag should include the names of all tribe members and whatever you think best represents your new tribe’s name. Since not everyone’s an artist, all submissions must be plain text, but when a winner is chosen I’d like those of you with artistic talent to take a stab at making a picture of the winning flag.

While you’re at it, I’d like each of you to choose three different items from a new box like the one you used previously. (For purposes of the challenge bumume you as an individual can pick any three items you want, even if someone else has already picked one or more of them.) See if you can create a comfortable piece of furniture from those three items. Just for you, be selfish, no need to make the whole tribe comfortable. Again, text description only, but it’ll be nice to get images for all of them too eventually.

Once you’ve got both of those done, TM the text descriptions to me. I’ll run them by the judges separately (no link between the flag and the furniture) and ask them to rank them from 1-11. Then I’ll add up their rankings for each of your submissions (as individuals). The one with the lowest sum wins immunity. (So 6 is the best possible score, 66 is the worst.) That person will be safe from the vote at the next tribal council, but one of the rest of you will be going home.

Oh, and in case of a tie, the person whose flag score is the lowest (best) will win. I suppose it’s mathematically possible there could be a tie at that point too but I think the odds are so slim I haven’t come up with another tiebreaker yet. I’m willing to take suggestions.

You have until Sunday at 11 am (server time, natch) to get me your submissions. If you only turn in one submission, you get an automatic 11 from every judge for the submission you did not turn in. If you don’t turn in any submissions, you’ll be “medically evacuated”.

Oh, and I have a little something else for the winner whose flag score is the lowest (best). Tiebreaker there would be lowest (best) furniture score.

man-man had the best overall score and won immunity. plk had the best flag score and won the reward. That flag is now available for viewing on the klan profile page (I’m still hoping for an image of it though). I will be posting each person’s furniture on that page as well, as time permits.

Tribal Council Begins

Everyone grabs their bumes. You can see swine wearing the immunity necklace.

Now we’ll bring in our Jury: Fran, voted out at the last tribal council. Jury, I’ll remind you that you’re not supposed to talk to the players, you’re here only to listen. I would ask the same from the viewers; please don’t interject your own comments which could interfere with how the game is played, and remember this is a non-trolling contest.

Okay tribe, let’s get to it.

So Jimmy: You totally blew the order of the forums in the first round. Was that a strategic move to make you look weak, or are you really that much of a re-re?

man-man, you said you didn’t convert your times properly, and so didn’t show up to the challenge when you were supposed to. In previous tribal councils the non-participants were voted out. Do you think your lack of participation will hurt you like it used to, or make you seem like less of a threat and keep you safe tonight?

Same basic question to bumonz.

Crazy_Smurf, you’re experimenting with a new posting style which makes your posts, y’know, understandable. Was that change due to a fear of being voted off for inane babble, or just because you finally felt like you had something important to say?

spacey, at the last tribal council you were one vote shy from potentially going home. Does it make you a little nervous, seeing the immunity necklace around someone else’s neck tonight?

Everyone else (and the ones I asked specifically about as well): Last week’s vote pretty much went down old tribal lines. Are those lines still as strong, or do you see places where they might be weakening?

Tribal council will not conclude until 5pm tomorrow, or potentially when I get all the votes. Don’t forget to pre-emptively send me a vote if you don’t think you’re not going to be around at 5 tomorrow; it would suck to send one of you home just because you didn’t vote. But I’ll do it if I have to.

Two votes

One vote. If one of the Fran votes swung your way, we would have had a tie and you potentially could have gone home.

Magnesium cartridges are not included with the kit. Ball bearings have begun to erode, and we’re all out of wine. No more heroes was something of a quirk within the system, but replicated it has value. Antagonistic parallels have been drawn in the sand, choose your side or sit down with the crab people. We’re sitting flush over here.

I’m trying this posting style mainly because I have something to say and lack the benefit of using irc to articulate my thoughts. In the old tribe, we would congregate in irc and from there everything would follow. I don’t have that luxury anymore, so I had to adapt. I may be crazy…

I suspect the tribe loyalties are the same, but that’s only due to a lack of interaction. Obviously I would like for this to change, but I haven’t been able to engage my new tribemates in any meaningful manner. I tried being silly and having some fun, but that didn’t really work out as I had hoped.

Same as what man-man said before when your tribe needed you for a challenge it hurt everyone. This is more based on your own abilities and it doesn’t hurt to many others then yourself. I don’ think I will be voted out tonight and without the emergency that came up yesterday I would have done my runs, also I think old tribes are still together but as spacey said not 100%. It is getting close to when it would be a free for all and even with members of your old tribe everyone wants to win and be the last survivor.
