Welcome Christa and Eliza! You both know what's at stake, so let's get straight to your duel.
You'll be participating in "Rat Race", the challenge that we just had the two tribes do. It will work in the same way that they did it.
The goal is to completely trap the other player before they trap you. In order to trap them, you must seal them in with four walls.
I suggest looking over this thread to see how it works:
sausage-island2.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=challenges&action=display&thread=246&page=1
Basic rules:
On your turn you can either...
A: You can move yourself. In order to move, open the updated board in paint or photoshop, select the image of yourself, and drag it to where you want to go.
You can move TWO spaces at a time. You can't move diagonally. You must move through two spaces that are connecting, and obviously you can't move through walls. If you choose to move to only one adjacent space, that's fine.
B: You can build a wall. In order to build a wall, open the updated board in paint/photoshop/whatever you have, and draw a solid line from one POST to another. The posts are the green squares around the board. You can't draw a line connecting two that are diagonal. You can only connect two posts that are adjacent to each other, and you can only build one wall at a time.
You cannot move AND build on the same move. You need to decide which one to do on which turn. Strategy!
NOTE: The outer wall acts as a border, which means at the start of the challenge, you each have one wall behind you already. I suggest moving away from there!
We're not going to let a coin flip decide who goes first, so the first player to have their move ready can quickly make it. The other player then has FIVE minutes to make their move. If you don't make your move within 5 minutes after the last person, your turn will be skipped, and they can go again. A big advantage for them.
There are only two of you, so while I expect there to be a lot more movement and wall building, it should still go fairly quickly. Be sure to keep moving!
This is it people! One on one. Winner moves on, loser is out of this game for good.
Survivor's ready?
Go!
