No need to wait for Dex's turn. Kie has been knocked out of the challenge and noma is victorious! Congratulations, noma, you're safe from elimination.

Voting begins now. You have 48 hours.

I want to remind everybody that each player is allowed one opportunity during the game to change their vote if they want to (prior to me posting the Tribal Council, of course).

Not saying that anybody is currently planning on it. It just seems to me that many players have forgotten that they could.

Tribal Council #10

In the previous challenge, we saw players eliminated in the following order: Maurog -> Dex Stewart -> TripleM -> kie -> noma. Is this in any way indicative of how this vote might play out?

This tribe is full of players who are immunity threats. Between the five of you, you have won all six of the individual immunity challenges. Will a former immunity winner be voted out tonight?

We have five votes to read. First vote...

Does anybody have a recommendation for a temporary file hosting site? I'd like to store the hold file for Challenge #11 somewhere other than this board.

I would suggest creating your own site on googlepages and posting it there.

I've finished the hold for the final challenge, but I'd like at least one other pair of eyes to look at it to make sure I haven't committed any major gaffes. The hold is six rooms long and should not take much time to complete.

If anybody is interested, please PM me an email address I can send it to. If I don't get any takers soon, I'll just consider my testing good enough.

It's far more likely to be noticed if you post the request on the architecture board.

I will test the hold for you if you post it somewhere and pM me a link to it.

Ditto--although I'd only be able to get to it in about 12-13 hours.

Thanks, CSR for the quickfire testing. I think we're ready to go.

Challenge #11: The Final Race

Congratulations to the remaining four of you, and welcome to the final immunity challenge! The player who wins this challenge will earn themselves a guaranteed spot at the final Tribal Council. One of the other three of you will become the seventh and final member of the jury.

In this final challenge, we're getting back to basics. I have developed a small DROD:TCB hold that you will race through. The player who completes the hold the fastest will win immunity!

You can each start the challenge when you see fit. I am going to host the hold file on a different site. I want you each to PM me an unhidetime tag that represents the moment that you want to start the challenge. I will send you back a link to the hold file embedded in the unhidetime tag you provided. Your timer starts the moment the unhidetime tag reveals your link. At the end of the hold, you will find a password. Send me the password in a PM. The timestamp on that PM will represent the time you finished the race.

Within the hold you will be racing to collect five bags of puzzle pieces. Each bag of puzzle pieces is located at a station that requires you to perform a different task. The order in which you perform these tasks doesn't matter. You will have to:

Start a fire
Fill a bucket with water in order to raise a flag
Run blindfolded through a maze
Untie a series of knots
Pay tribute to the players voted out before you

Once you have collected all five bags, race back to the start to begin assembling the puzzle. Torches at the starting point will indicate which bags you have collected.

When you have successfully assembled the puzzle, the path to the password will be made clear to you.

The player with the fastest time wins! Due to the limitations of the forum, all times will be measured in minutes. In the event of a tie, there will be no immunity.

Good luck to everybody! Remember to test out your unhidetime tag before you send it to me!

PS: Please give me at least 24 hours between the moment you PM me with your unhidetime tag and the moment your unhidetime tag reveals. That'll give me a safe window to take care of the administrative stuff.

Sure - when I get home tonight I'll make it anyone-edit and post it.

Each player was given a different version of the hold with a different download link. Each version included a different password. This was a safeguard against collusion.

So I actually kinda expected all you guys to have times in the 20's and 30's. I'm sure glad I didn't give up .

I forgot to produce an anyone edit version of the hold last night. Instead, I'll just post one of the ones the players used. Now you can time yourself and see how you stack against the elite survivors! Attached is the hold as configured for kie.

In the final room, there's a series of scrolls hidden behind a wall. These are just other potential passwords. When configuring a room for another player, I would drag a new one out and drop the old one in. Having all the passwords in the same room also provided a line of defense against a hold text exporting utility.
