Starting the game off

Karya Swadaya. Welcome to Survivor: New Guinea. Let's get things started right off the bat.

To start the game off, while the castaways are checking in, they're going to PM me - simply based off first impressions - who they think the first two captains should be. The two captains will not only be responsible for picking the two new tribes, but also will receive immunity for the first Tribal Council they go to.

Once the tribes are picked, we'll get ready to start the game.

Immunity Challenge #1 - Stairway to Immunity

You're on a journey of a lifetime,
It starts today.
Your first challenge will have you,
dash up the stairway

Teamwork here is a must,
if you don't think so - get a clue.
Tribal Council is a-lurking,
and the first boot may just be you

Like any and all Immunity Challenges, this will require a lot of teamwork!

All 9 tribe members must participate in this challenge if you intend on winning. Here's how the tribes will be split up:

One person builds the boat
Four rowing the boat
Four people build the stairs

To start the challenge off, the person in charge of building the boat will receive a simple puzzle of a boat. Their job is to finish the puzzle, print screen it, and post it in their camp.

Dorsett posts image of boat

The four rowers will now have to row out to the ocean. First, they'll have to get into the boat and one person must bring a torch with them. Like so:

KC gets into boat
Paul gets into boat
Andy gets into boat
Dale gets into boat with torch

The four rowers will have to row out to a bouie with another torch lit. They will have to row out to it to light the torch. Each person on the boat will have to row three consecutive times. Like so:

KC rows boat
Paul rows boat
Andy rows boat
Dale rows boat
KC rows boat
Paul rows boat
Andy rows boat
Dale rows boat
KC rows boat
Paul rows boat
Andy rows boat
Dale rows boat

Once complete, they will have to retrieve three bags of lumber that is strapped under water. It doesn't matter how they do this or what order they go in. But they must post five times. Two times to dive, one time to grab the bag, and two other times to resurface.

KC dives down
KC dives down
KC grabs bag
KC swims up
KC swims up

Once all three bags of lumber are retrieved, the person who has the torch will now light it.

Dale lights torch.

It's now time to row back.

KC rows boat
Paul rows boat
Andy rows boat
Dale rows boat
KC rows boat
Paul rows boat
Andy rows boat
Dale rows boat
KC rows boat
Paul rows boat
Andy rows boat
Dale rows boat

Once this is done, it's time for the builders to make a stairway.

One of the stair builders will grab the bags, untie them, and scatter the lumber onto the sand.

Dawn grabs bags
Dawn unties bags
Dawn empties contents

Now the three others will place the lumber. They do this each twice.

Sarah places wood
Wendy places wood
Diane places wood
Sarah places wood
Wendy places wood
Sarah places wood

Now that that's done, everyone on the tribe must run up the stairway. The person carrying the torch must light the tribe flag to signify victory.

Sarah runs up steps
Wendy runs up steps
Diane runs up steps
Dawn runs up steps
Dorsett runs up steps
Dale runs up steps
KC runs up steps
Carlos runs up steps
Andy runs up steps
Dale lights flag

First tribe to do this wins the first Immunity.

Immunity Challenge #2 - Dig for Safety

Two by two,
they travel in tandem
What they're uncovering,
it looks so random.

Dig dig dig,
it seems like a must.
'Cause if they don't find it,
their torch may be snuffed.

The two tribes will decide 4 match-ups in 2-on-2 battles. There will be a hidden board located on the forum that will contain 10 sub-forums. Each sub-forum will have the password "dig". The object is to dig until you find the one that contains a flag. The rest of them will contain sand. As soon as one of the tribe members finds a flag, they must quickly post it on their team mat in the immunity thread. First team to do it will earn a point. If there is a tie, the teams will send out their best competitors in a one-on-one tiebreaker match.

Team that gains the most points wins Immunity.

Immunity Challenge #3 - Abelam Figures

What's that in your hand?
It looks so cute.
If I don't get it,
I might get the boot.

The challenge on paper,
may look like Child's play.
But I may be in trouble,
if I don't get the first say.

The object of this competition is for each member of your tribe to grab a Abelam figure. Depending on how many members of the tribe there are, there will be several different, colored Abelam figurines. The object is for each tribe member to quickly grab one by posting:

David grabs black figurine

If you are left without one, you must try to tackle someone from the opposing tribe who has one. To do this simply:

Tony tackles David for black figurine

If David doesn't respond within 20 minutes, the figurine is Tony's. But if David is on, he can simply write.

David fends Tony off

And Tony can't tackle David for at least an hour. The first tribe to gain all the figurines will win.

[KC]

Immunity Challenge #4 - Pull!

There is no reason,
no reason beyond doubt.
For us to not believe,
that your veins will pop out.

All that straining and moaning,
on the deep ocean floor.
But perhaps it's worth it,
cause Immunity could be yours.

In this challenge, you and your tribemates will be attempting to pull a heavy foot locker underwater. Here's how it'll go.

To start the challenge off, each tribe member must post *swims out to sea* twice. Doesn't have to be in any particular order or speed. They all must do it before they can begin pulling. Once all the tribe members have done this, they can now start pulling the locker towards them. They need to post 50 times for the locker to be close enough to reach. It doesn't matter how they do this. They can have multiple team mates pull of have just one person pull. Once 50 posts are complete, one person may post "Opens foot locker" and a flag will float up to the top. Two tribe mates will grab the flag.

David opens foot locker
Greg grabs flag
Sam grabs flag

Once this is done, everyone must now swim back to the beach. They post *swims back to shore* twice. Again, doesn't matter what order. Once everyone is back, the two who grabbed the flag must hook it back up.

*Sam hooks flag*
*Greg hooks flag*

Tribe that does this fastest will win Immunity.

Immunity Challenge #5 - Test of Strength

It's a lovely day,
a day just right for you!
Not a cloud in the sky,
and it's painted ocean blue.

But I guarantee you by tonight,
you'll be begging for some Foldgers.
The fate of your tribe,
rests directly on your shoulders.

This is an endurance and they're basically going to be carrying weights and stuff. That old chestnut. Every five minutes, team who has the best cumulative score wins. Yeah.

Tribe Switch

Karya Swadaya,
it was said on day one.
What did you think it meant?
It's about to be done.

It's the motto of the soil you stand,
which is within your sight.
The phrase directly translates to,
work with one's own might.

Who is the weak?
Who is the strong?
Who is the brains?
Who is the brawn?

Who is high?
Who is low?
Read my direction.
Go with the flow.

You need to send me PM, you see,
that lists your tribe from strong to weak.
Meet me at challenge island,
and I'll have what you seek

I want everyone here to PM me a ranking list of their tribe that includes themselves. You are ranking from the most productive member of the tribe to the most useless member of the tribe. Please do not discuss these with anyone.

===

This is phase one of the Tribe Switch. Basically it's taken off Gabon. Once it's in, I'll average them out and reveal what each tribe thinks. The two strongest from each tribe will be the new captains and they'll school yard pick people. There will be one person who won't have a tribe, they will go to Exile and join the losing tribe from Immunity.

Immunity Challenge #6 - Cryptogram

Swim out to sea,
come back to shore.
Don't get too comfortable,
there is to be more.

For those who are dry,
a puzzle is to be solved.
Don't get too cocky,
your tribe will be dissolved.

In this challenge, the tribes will be split up. Half the tribe will be swimming out to retrieve four bags. These bags will contain pieces of chalk in them. Once all bags have been retrieved, the others will have to solve a Cryptogram that spells out the motto of the season and Papua "Work with one's own might, your torch stays light!"

Immunity Challenge #7 - Pick Your Poison

Split the tribe up,
you're on your own.
Try not to trip up,
your fate may be sewn.

Think clearly and fast,
this challenge is the bar setter.
Your opponents can do anything,
but can you do it better?

This challenge is basically "I can". The tribes will choose match-ups and for each one, I will give them a task. Such as - how many people can you get into an empty chat room within 10 minutes? How many posts can you make within 10 minutes? How many people can you get to IM me within 10 minutes? Everytime a tribe completes a task, they earn a point. Tribe with the most points win.

Immunity Challenge #10 - Log Rolling

Come one, come all,
a battle of two.
Keep your balance,
or the wet one will be you.

This could be it,
it is all on the line.
One boot before merge,
is not very fine.

Basically the object is for tribes to select match-ups and the two match-ups post *balances* in the same thread. The object is to get three consecutive posts.

[KC]

Merge Meeting/Idol Twist

You have made it deep,
but it's far from the peak.
It's time to pick representatives,
for what your new task seeks.

Make this decision pronto,
send them off to their location.
For the rest of you, sit back,
and await the upcoming sensation.

Basically the same as Niihau. Both tribes select representatives to meet at a new destination. They will decide the new tribe color, make a new flag, and give the tribe a new name.

However, they will also be presented with a twist and an opportunity to gain a Hidden Immunity Idol. However, if either opt for it, they could risk a big consequence.

Here's how it would work. It'll be a game of friend or foe. If they choose to be friends, the idol will be tossed out. If one of them chooses to be a friend with the other choosing to be a foe, the idol will be given to the person who selected foe. If both choose foe, the idol iwill be competed for, however it'll be at a price. The loser will be completely eliminated from the game.

The results of the first two options will be kept secret. I will not reveal what either person chose unless they both choose foe.

If both choose foe, they compete in a puzzle challenge. Slowest person will be eliminated from the game with the winner claiming the idol.

Immunity #10 - Survivor Auction

Now that you are all a family,
it's time to gather around.
Here is my auction,
where goodies can be found.

Each of you have money,
make sure to spend it wise.
If you come up empty handed,
you may be saying your goodbyes.

The Survivor auction will take place. I'll figure out the stuff that'll be up for sale later.

1. Immunity
2. Amius' Hidden Box
3. Lamek's Hidden Box
4. Nabi's Hidden Box
5. Sgt. Jones' Hidden Box

Hidden Boxes explained:

Amius' Hidden Box
Amius has had a lot of alone time since his friends and family have passed away, but keeps a jolly and welcoming temperament nonetheless. Amius will invite whoever wins his box to visit his hut. There, he will reveal his latest invention - an island made television. How he was able to do it is beyond our imagination, but he does get CBS. The picture is poor and the TV has bad reception over all, but it could stay long enough for the winner get a peak at a certain episode. The castaway will win the right to see a post in Prediction Writers. Could be good, could be bad, could be useless.

Nabi's Hidden Box
Nabi knows the island of New Guinea backwards and forwards, growing up in a tribe and now regarded as one of the high officials of his men. Nabi will offer whoever wins this assistance in getting any password they're stuck on in Exile. This could prove to be useless if the idol is not in the section they're trying to get, but could prove useful if used wisely.

Lamek's Hidden Box
Lamek has finally fixed his broken down boat. Since his boat was fixed up by whoever visited Exile before, he now has two boats. He decides to give his new one to the person who has it. This will enable the person to travel whenever they want. So, if they wish, they can go to Exile at any given time. Two problems with this: them just paddling away will be obvious to their tribemates and they will now what they're up to. Also, the boat only has one use. Once it's back, it will break on a rock.

Sgt. Jones' Hidden Box
Sgt. Jones is under strict orders to keep Survivor nuts out of the area, although she is doing a poor job. She has decided to show that she is doing her job by luring one of the castaways into her sights and arresting them on the spot. Whoever wins this will be arrested and spend the night in jail before being bailed out by us. This person will sit out of TC and be guarenteed to not be voted out. However, they will miss the upcoming Immunity Challenge as well.

Immunity #11 - True Colors

So in this game,
how well do you sit?
Tonight it's time,
to cut the bullshit.

I'll ask you questions,
you got nothing to hide.
Perhaps you'll learn,
you're not long for this tribe.

True colors. I ask hard-hitting questions, they have to answer in the majority, yada yada yada. Plate breaking. And that kinda stuff.

[KC]

Immunity #12 - Papua Golf

Step up to tee,
and take your best shot.
The ball will soar,
where will it stop?

Have good timing,
be sure to line up your swing.
Be the most accurate,
and you will be king.

Will be the golf challenge, exactly how I did it in URTV8.

[KC]

Immunity #13 - Yam Catching

How are you enjoying,
New Guinea's natural food?
The energy it gives you,
can be very good.

But today you'll be catching what you're eating,
and perhaps get a bit thinner.
This time you may not only get voted out,
but miss out on your dinner.

Coconut challenge from last season/Sloppy Balls from URTV. I'll be launching Yams, the people have to try to catch them. Yeah.
