— — FOOD CHAIN — —
For this season’s first individual immunity, we will be replicating the Predator-Prey interaction between animals. This will test the social relations you have built this season, and what you are willing to do for Immunity. MULTIPLE players could win safety today!
Here’s how it works. We will start with a general knowledge question, and the first 3 to answer the I’ll get to pick their animal to play as one at a time in secret. All other players will become an animal based off random draw (this includes inactive players not at the challenge).
Each animal is on the food chain as follows:
Rank 1 - Lion
Rank 2 - Crocodile
Rank 3 - Eagle
Rank 4 - Hyena
Rank 5 - Chameleon, Otter, Deer, Mallard, Rabbit, Snake, Crocodile Bird, Crow, Rat
Different animals have different WIN CONDITIONS. If you meet your animal’s win condition, you will be declared one of the winners of the game. For example, a win condition could be surviving until the end of the game, or it could be ensuring a specific animal dies. There are also animals that win if another animal survives.
Before the game starts, each player is allowed to choose another player to PEEK at. They will find out what animal that player is.
The game will be played with 4 rounds, and each round will last up to 5 minutes, or sooner if all actions are completed before then.
BEFORE the 5 minutes begins, each player will choose to move to one of 4 habitats for the entire round:
* RIVER
* SKY
* FIELD
* FOREST
Each animal has a MAIN habitat. If a player spends a round in a habitat other than their animal’s main one, they must return to their main habitat during the next round. Some animals also have RESTRICTIONS which mean they cannot go to certain habitats.
Each habitat will have its own private group on Skype. After everyone picks their habitat for the round, those that picked a certain habitat will all be added to that group at the SAME TIME.
Once everyone has picked, they will be added to their habitat groups, and the 5 minutes starts. During this time, you will talk to the people there, and may ATTACK any player in that habitat. In order to attack, you must simply post in the habitat chat:
“ATTACKS (NAME OF PLAYER)”
If your target is an animal that is a LOWER rank than you (rank 1 is highest), the attack is SUCCESSFUL, and the target is EATEN (eliminated from the game). However, if the target is the same rank or a higher rank, nothing happens. Attacks run on a first-come first-serve basis; from the moment you enter the habitat.
Attacks are only immediately known to players in the same habitat that it occurred. At the end of a round, I will announce which players have been eaten (eliminated) but will not tell you their character role or who killed them. Any knowledge of that remains at the discretion of those within that habitat.
Animals also have special CHARACTERISTICS which may give them an advantage or disadvantage in the game, which again depends on your role, and weather you are a Predator or Prey.
NOTE: Some animals can be eaten and still win the game depending on their specific win condition, which I will reveal in a moment with all roles.
This process of habitat picking and then attacking continues for 4 rounds, and then the game ends.
ALL players who met their animal’s win condition will win IMMUNITY from the first merge Tribal Council.
SPECIAL NOTE: If anyone does not choose a habitat for a round due to going inactive, they will go to their animal’s home habitat. Players not present at the challenge will also fill animal roles as explained before, but are not eligible for immunity, even if their animal meets their win condition.
