Come on in guys! John voted out at the last Tribal Council, becoming the 6th member of the jury.
Immunity is back up for grabs.
Today you'll all be competing in our favorite challenge. It's the Sausage version of our favorite board game...
Risk!
But instead of battling for global domination, you'll be battling to take over Sausage Island.
Last season, Rob dominated the Island. Who will take it this year?
We've created a map of the island, separated into 5 territories, each one represented by a different color. The goal of the challenge is to conquer every single space on the board.
This challenge is very experimental, and we're still trying to figure out the best way to run it, so bear with us! Rules are being changed from the first season. Here's how it works.
First, we'll draw spaces on the board. We'll do this in turn on AIM. There are 25 spaces on the board, you each get five spaces to start. Each of you will have your own color.
Once that's done, we get into attacking.
Attacking
You may only attack spaces that are adjacent to one of your spaces. There are lines designating which other space you can attack if you're on an island. See that black figure in the center of the map? That's the Midori Wormhole. You can't attack through that. Any other spaces that are touching are fair game.
Now, here's how attacking works. Every 5 minutes, you guys will send either myself or Brett on AIM an attack order. It will be something like "Attack space [__] from space [__]." The space that you are attacking FROM obviously must be a space that you own.
You can attack once every 10 minutes. Once you all send your attacks in, I'll update the map as quickly as possible, and then either post the update or IM it to all of you. If you're all on AIM and we do a group chat, then it will move faster and you'll be able to attack multiple times in 10 minutes.
If you don't IM me in time, you miss out on your attack that round.
If you attack a space, but the player who owns that space also attacks you from it, then it's a stalemate and neither of you take over the other. If you attack a space and that space doesn't attack you as well, then that space is now yours and we'll move your troops to it.
If you and another player both attack the same space, I'll roll a die, and the winner will take the space. The loser's attack will not count for anything.
Reinforcements:
- Are gone! In last season's challenge, and in the game of Risk, you have multiple number of troops on your spaces. There are also ways to add more throughout the game. However, sooome people thought that was too complicated, so you guys don't have to worry about that! This will make the challenge must faster and run a lot more smoothly.
Play will continue like this as you build up your territories and as players are eliminated.
If you're completely wiped off of the map, then you're eliminated from the battle. The last player standing will win Immunity.
I realize this looks....way too complicated haha, especially if you've never played Risk before. Just trust me! It'll get easier as it moves along. Plus, I'll be on AIM and I'll be able to work out any questions you might have. It looks overwhelming, but you'll get the hang of it.
This challenge will start at 10:00. Once you guys can get on AIM, we'll make a group chat and you guys will pick your starting locations. Anyone who isn't here will have their places randomized.
Alliances are important in this challenge, but they can't last forever. At some point or another you'll all be attacking each other. Only one can win. Who will take total control of Sausage Island? Time to find out...
Survivors ready? GO!
