At least this high score comp that I did before, I didn't do too great on.

yoshirulez:
mlb789 : Good luck, guys! I promise I won't wait until the last minute this time

Alright. Harte Arbeit has forced my hand. The sit out for this round will be Furret.

Furret :

Sorry, but no one on your tribe stood up to the plate. So I had to randomly choose one of you. As such, you will not be able to participate in this challenge.

gamerforlifeforever :
deggle :
Surgiac :

You three are the qualifying players for this round. It does not matter if one of you fails to score, and Furret "does" score, because you did not follow the rules, and choose a sit out in an appropriate amount of time. For future reference, I advise discussing who will sit out the next challenge in advance. It cannot be Furret next time, because he's sitting out this time.

You presently have about 36 hours left to score. This is the current score update.

Players who have an old score that does not count, and must be overwritten - pacman1755, deggle

Again, you have 36 hours to go. As it is, the tribe going to TC would be Harte Arbeit

And time! Drop your controllers!

A frustrated sigh emerged from some players, but from others, a triumphant yell. Who was it doing that yelling?

Aufrichtigkeit
Blubcreator : 27,630

It was pacman1755 doing the yelling, submitting another last minute entry to give his team safety. Submitting his entry at 11:30 PM PST (Vizzed's time is two hours ahead, so it shows differently), he leads his team to another Tribal Council-less night. Meanwhile, the Aufrichtigkeit will vote out its second member.

Harte Arbeit survives thanks to gamerforlifeforever putting up a huge score, again, being the highest individual scorer. Both them and the Narr
tribe will remain intact. As we head into the final 10, we have one thing we must ask...

What's next in this game?

-----

INSTRUCTIONS!!!

Narr
- Answer the confessionals that will be sent to your PM Box momentarily.

Harte Arbeit
- Read Hidden Immunity Idol Clue (first). Will be sent via PM momentarily.
- Answer the confessionals that will be sent to your PM Box momentarily.

Aufrichtigkeit
- Answer the confessionals that will be sent to your PM Box momentarily.
- You get 24 hours before you are allowed to vote. Use this time to convince your tribe why you should stay/why someone else should go, and build alliances.
- Once the 24 hours are up (Will be Monday night at midnight) you will send in your vote. You will have 48 hours to vote. Essentially, if for whatever reason, you cannot vote between Monday night and Wednesday night, let me know, and send in your vote then. I would prefer if you played according to the timeline, however.

I really need to stop forgetting about the competition at hand.

Sorry I wasn't there to help the team any further, my wifi had an untimely demise and hadn't come back until now..

Hopefully though, I'll be able to do a little more next challenge to make up for it

I'm really surprised that I was able to get the top score this week honestly. The whole time I was thinking that I needed to improve my score for us just to stay out of tribal council, but thankfully the score I put up was enough for Harte Arbeit to win again.

COME ON IN GUYS!

Everyone, getting your first look at the new Aufrichtigkeit tribe, Blubcreator voted out at the last Tribal Council.

Now, obviously, one tribe is down to 2 members. This is kind of bad for them.

But now, it could also be bad for the rest of you.

Drop your buffs, we're switching things up.

*cut to everyone's shocked and scared faces*

You will each take a random packet from the plate I pass around (actually I'll be using RNG, but shhh immersion). In those packets, which you will not open until instructed, will be one of two differently colored buffs.

If you draw a GREEN buff you will be on the new Narr tribe. If you draw a BLUE buff, you guessed it, you will be on the new Harte Arbeit tribe. No one is safe, or guaranteed, or more likely than another to end up somewhere else.

-----

After everyone has grabbed a buff, they reveal their color.

-----

Your first look at the new Narr tribe. You have two original members, yoshirulez! and megamanmaniac, and you have three new members, Surgiac, deggle, and EX Palen. On the other hand, the new Harte Arbeit tribe has two original members, Furret and gamerforlifeforever, in addition to three new members, mlb789, pacman1755, and Patrick Star.

I can already see some of you are not happy about this swap. It's a good thing we're not going "straight" into a challenge. You will go back to camp, and get to know one another. And then we'll come back and play a challenge...

-----

Time has now passed, it is the day of the challenge, pretend as if the confessionals I sent out to you take place before this moment

-----

Ready to get to today's challenge?

We're playing some Donkey Kong.

As always, you must play the game in high score mode, and as always, if you had a previous score (ie - pacman1755, gamerforlifeforever, Furret) you MUST put up a new score, that that was made THIS month.

You have until Monday, October 24th at Midnight PST to get your scores in, on Tuesday at 12:01 AM, it will be too late.

Good luck, everyone.

Welp, guess it's time to give this a shot then. Hope you guys will work pretty hard, and maybe we can survive this.

Donkey Kong isn't my strongpoint, but I'll give it my all.

Damn, just when I started getting the hang on how to spell my tribe properly...

I'm kind of relieved we can now go all out without anybody sitting out. This marks the start of a new beginning, so let's try our best for a rocket start.

legacyme3 : If midnight Monday is the deadline, why is 12:01 Tuesday too late? That's 24 hours & 1 minute of time that goes missing.

Surgiac :

Midnight on Monday night, you can call it Tuesday morning, if you like, but the point is that the competition ends on Monday night, heading into Tuesday morning.

The 12:01 on Tuesday comment was meant specifically to keep people from being confused. I'm not going to randomly talk about a day 24 hours after the fact. 12:01 on Tuesday is the first minute that a submission would not count. Just like 12:02 is the second minute that would not count.

Only score update I'm giving, before the actual update in a couple days.

A mere 46k separates the two tribes.

One more yoshirulez!-esque score from any of MMM, Surgiac, and deggle could be the difference, two of them could make a difficult lead.

MOMENT OF TRUTH. WHO WON!?

Drop your controllers!

And with that, the Narr tribe emerges victorious, sending Harte Arbeit to Tribal Council, where one member will be voted out of this game.

Additionally, there's been a twist.

Narr. Choose a member of Harte Arbeit to be protected from the vote tonight. The player your tribe chooses by plurality will be given individual immunity at Tribal Council. The Harte Arbeit tribe is not allowed to beg for their lives, or anything like that. You may only discuss this among the tribe itself. You can shield an ally, or shield someone you want to work with, later in the game.

Harte Arbeit, I got nothing for you. Go back to camp. I'll see you at Tribal in a couple days.

INSTRUCTIONS!!!

Narr
- Answer the confessionals that will be sent to your PM Box momentarily.
- Additionally, send by PM a vote telling me one member of the opposite tribe that you wish to be given individual immunity. You can discuss this among the members of your tribe, but not the opposite tribe. You should send this at roughly the same time as the confessional if at all possible.

Harte Arbeit
- Answer the confessionals that will be sent to your PM Box momentarily.
- Pray you are the one chosen to be safe at tonight's vote.

I'm just here so I don't get fined so leggy can post an update.

And furthermore, here's a test of if he can post after this.
Insert some VSS stuff here

Come on in, guys!

Narr, your first look at the new Harte Arbeit tribe, mlb789 voted out at the last Tribal Council. Additionally, since you left before the votes were cast, I figure you may as well know the player you voted to keep safe.

OK, so as you've probably gathered by now, we're starting to get down there in numbers, we only have 9, meaning if there was a Final 2, we'd have to merge now to have a jury of 7.

"We're merging?!" screamed one of the players, nobody cared who.

Nope.

I can see you are all confused, but you'll just have to indulge me here.

Because it's time for the long prepared for twist to come into play.

Hey, come on in.

(At this point, Blubcreator(!!!) comes walking onto the beach to stand next to Leggy)

There was a Redemption Island twist this season. But, that twist has officially concluded. There were a total of two duels this season. (I didn't want it to be a dominating factor, and besides, with limited numbers I had to do something).

Maguc :
RUKX :

Though you guys were eliminated (I know, RUKX being on this list is weird since he wasn't in the original list of players), I wanted to thank you guys for at least not overtly spoiling the twist.

Blubcreator :

You are back in the game, and additionally, you will take mlb789's place on the Harte Arbeit Tribe.

And just to confirm it, yes, Redemption Island, as a twist, is done for the season. Meaning if you are voted out at this point, you really are, 100% gone. Before anyone gets any funny ideas thinking that's the answer to the Hidden Immunity Idol clue. It isn't.

So, with that twist f***ery over with, are you ready for today's challenge? I hope you are, because this week, we're playing This version of Ms. Pacman.

Same rules apply. High score mode, best team score wins, no sit-outs this challenge.

However, if someone chooses to sit out this challenge (You must declare as such in this thread), they will be given a Hidden Immunity Idol clue. He who dares, may win.

Best of luck, lady and gentlemen.

Didn't expect that one :o

Well, congrats Blub on re-entering the game~ 
Let's win this thing.
