Shady Slim Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 welcome to the Survivor Marathon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you've been through an agonising series of challenges to get here. you got through the lawyer challenge. you got through the stocks challenge, which went for a week longer than i'd intended for it to because i had an unfavourable schedule for my midsems. those are not making a reappearance. many others are about to. so what you are going to do, while facing off mano a mano nel bagno, is compete against each other head to head in a series of abbreviated versions of past challenges that you've faced. those challenges are Typical Movie and Song Challenge Before and After Australianagrams Wikipedia Game Hot Potato Chains Miner Detail One Night in Bangkok Platform Peril Parlay The Tower of Power II you win the head to head in a challenge, you get a point. you tie it, you split the point for the challenge. the castaway with the most points after all twelve wins the immunity here. a tie in the scores then means you have to play a head to head survivoropoly tiebreaker so don't get it to that - neither of you want to, i'm sure.

Hitchcock’s movie, though it wasn’t about non-par golf scores Song Clues You can’t do this right now because of the pandemic, but if you could, check out the Temple of Preah Vihear I hope that the titular character of the song got at least $5 trillion, because if not, he probably got hustled. Before and After Clues Kennedy’s attempt to take down Castro would’ve been way cooler if directed with flashy big budget explosions.

Shady Slim Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 here's what we will do; PLATFORM PERIL AND HOT POTATO are postponed until after the rest of the challenges, because i don't have any time that matches up with outpost's that it would be fair to ask orca to stay awake for. meaning, we'll do them if there's no clear winner from the ten other challenges, and work a time out between the three of us if it comes to that. otherwise, if there's a winner (ie someone who is leading by >2) once the other ten have been completed, we don't have to do them! PARLAY still has an early deadline, because of the time of the tennis match. make sure to get that in before that time!! THE REST OF THE CHALLENGES now have to be submitted by EST SUNDAY 8PM, as requested by the orca. you can of course submit them before then. you also don't have to submit the challenges together, and you can submit your answers or submissions for one challenge at a time as you complete them. that is all good. take note of everything in this post @Outpost31 @The Orca, and again, the best of luck to both of you!! if you have any more q's again ask here!!
