--PLEASE SNIP!!--

Sorry for the high frequency of posts this week, timing has been off lately.
But I'm sure you all have been up in airs about our surviving posters
lately. ;)

It's been quite a re-energizing week for our survivors as the Switch brings
some new life and new chances for the contestants. One of those
oppurtunities has been building up a new camp. For many of our remaining
survivors, camp has been the lifeblood of their game; an oppurtunity to live
like Swiss Family Robinson, a chance to manipulate the other tribemates, or
a chance to sabotage.

After the tribal wars of last month, our survivors now seem to have settled
unspokenly that deletions don't benefit anyone, especially themselves. But
that doesn't mean past mistakes will be forgotten, because in this harsh
newsgroup, they rarely ever are. For Robego and Nebewi camps, personal
belongings are rare. Robego's camp is equipped with 2 or 3 objects salvaged
before the switch. Nebewi also has scarce objects, except for a handful of
signs and pictures won in the last Reward Challenge. The lucky or
not-so-lucky four on Tiveac has a myriad of fresh new supplies for camp,
including tents, sleeping bags, crates, poles, and floors for each of the
tribemates. However, they must keep a good handle on their objects, as it
must last until the end of the game. The merged tribe later on in the game
will call Tiveac's campsite home, and those objects must feed the remaining
dwndling survivors. No new objects will be given out after the merge
(without a price).

Our ever-so-sunshiny gardener, Ambient, wasted no time in replanting her
flowers and decorating Tiveac. She's even experimenting with new plants and
flora found throughout the world for better effect.

Lioness too, has tried to become a happy gardener, finding that her location
near Council Plateau provides good shade and shelter for Nebewi.

The boys have been busy in the newsgroup, battling it out for top scores for
the Reward Challenge. So let's talk about that. :)

The reward challenge asked the survivors to cross the dangerous Newsgroup
River, and collect as many points as possible along the way. The tribe that
can collect the most points will receive an ever important supply of 30
objects, their choice. For Nebewi and Robego, this means taking their
stripped down camp and tranforming into what could be an oasis, if they
choose right.

The game started out slow and low, with only 1000-2000 points between the
first few submitters. But as the newsgroup posts got going, so did the
scores. Lioness' proud 5,000 points in only two levels proved to be quite a
spark for some to go better and beyond, and a hopeless feat for others. Many
survivors were afraid to cross the river, and didn't participate. How will
this affect the tribes? At a time when participation on web challenges are
of UTTERMOST importance, will this lack of even scrounging up a hundred
points hurt a contestant at Tribal Council? Or have the alliances dealt
their cards already? Let's see the scores, in order that I received them.

Builderz and BinaryBud started the challenge off by earning 2230 and 2033
points respectively for Robego. JerMe pressed in an even more impressive
4650 points for the tribe, securing his strength and dedication to his new
tribe.

Hours in front of the garden didn't benefit Ambie much, as she raked in a
low 1385 points for Tiveac. But with all the objects Tiveac has, do they
need to try?

Lioness started Nebewi's scores by putting in a really high 5328. Mongo
added a whopping 4143 points also, putting Nebewi and Robego neck and neck.

maki, feeling the pressure, bravely put out 7534 points for Robego. Eric
countered with an equally high 7304 points for Nebewi.

And finally, Gandalf added an unimpressive 2210 points to Tiveac's
almost-empty point box.

Gamecube and D a n, maybe out of laziness, or out of confidence, did not
cross the river. Do the former-Robego members have something that the
former-Nebewi members of Tiveac don't so they don't have to do challenges?
Was this sabotage or strategy? A vacationing Mod also didn't participate.
Could his untimely vacation plans cost Nebewi a challenge? Can Nebewi take
two reward challenges in a row? Or will Robego add one of their most
important victories to their list of wins? I'll tally the score.





In third place...




Obviously, Tiveac, with 3595 points total.








In second place, with only 328 points separating the victor and foiled...










....




....It's close folks, or else, I wouldn't be having such a large dramatic
pause...






Second place goes to Robego.





What a shocker! Unfortunately, BinaryBud and Builderz were quick to start
the punching and couldn't collectively rack up what could've been an easy
victory with a lazy third tribe and only a three-active-members tribe. So,
the newly formed Nebewi tribe wins 30 objects of their choice, so long as
its in the OP. :)

Nebewi members, I want a reply to this post by one of you four with a list
of the 30 objects you'd like. You can have 30 unique objects, or have more
than one object. But EVERY object counts as one, you don't get more than 30.
Please reply to this list by Friday, or else you give up your prizes. :)

However, maki wins a tee-shirt this week! :) I'll be telegramming you soon
maki for more information. :)

That's all for today. :) Join us on Thursday, in the world NGS2002, for the
first Immunity Challenge under these new tribes at 10pm VRT (time subject to
change). Which tribes will fall apart? Which one will pull off another
Robego and dominate until the merge? WHO will be the Ultimate Survivor?
We'll answer two of these questions by the end of the week. :)

That is total bull nornny!! I sent you my score, which just happened to be
the winner, and then you say I didn't participate :( I am getting pretty mad
at this being that I stayed up a LONG time playing that because I was
leaving on vacation the day after you posted the challange.

Ahh! Oopsy daisy. lol. When I say to email me the url, it usually means that
I've forgotten to check my tgrams. lol. In which case, let me re-calculate
the scores. Sorry bout that Mod. My master plan is foiled again!

Mod received a score of 9559, giving Nebewi a HUGE win as opposed to a close
one. lol.

What this does change is who will recieve a tee-shirt, which will obviously
be Mod. :) I'll send you more information soon. :)
