Good morning, evening, afternoon it seems that you have now figured out the second twist. Please pay attention because I have more things to say. The pod you’re in has been designed for total isolation except you might have noticed that you’re not alone! That’s right, there are THREE of you in your pod meaning it’s a little bit cosy! You will be working together as ONE pod, which means you will win and lose together.
While there are 21 competitors, you will only be able to speak with others sharing your pod. You’ll have no contact with the outside world. In Solitary, me (and your pod mates) are your only companions, but in Solitary, I’m your only friend.
As you are all in one pod, that means there is only one Panic Button between you all. If ONE of you choose to press the Panic Button, then all of you in the pod will be immune. However, only the player (or players) who pressed it will be the ones who lose their Panic Button powers (remember, each of you have ONE opportunity each to press it whilst the twist is in play).
The “fun and games” begin on Saturday 6th January at 10pm (GMT)/5pm (EST)/2pm (PST) with your first Test. Information about your Test will be posted beforehand, so you can ask any questions.
Now, please spend time chatting with your fellow competitors in your pod as you’ll need to learn how to work as a team if you want to survive!
Test 1: Pod Locked
Good morning, evening, afternoon. It’s time for the first test and this one is called “Pod Locked” and here’s how it works.
In each pod there is a locked box which requires a key to open it. The key is inside your pod and the pod that finds the key and unlocks the box in the quickest time will win Immunity from the first treatment.
However, the test is not as easy as it seems. On the floor of your pod there are 300 keys that have been scattered. Each key is numbered between 1 and 300, but only ONE key will unlock the box, so you will have to pick and choose which keys you’ll do. To try a key, you must post *tries key INSERT NUMBER HERE*. You may only do ONE key per pod mate at a time and must wait until your previous post has reached 3 minutes before trying another. We will update pods as soon as possible whether or not they have managed to unlock the box. Yes, there’s a bit of a luck element, but the more pod mates you have trying keys, the quicker you’ll find the key you seek!
TIE BREAKER: If there’s somehow a tie, the pod that found the key using the fewest keys will win the Test and Immunity from the first treatment.
The Test will begin at 10pm (GMT)/5pm (EST)/2pm (PST) and will finish at 9pm (GMT)/4pm (EST)/1pm (PST) the next day. Remember, the pod to unlock their box in the fastest time wins Immunity from the first Treatment tomorrow!
CORRECT KEY: 76
Pod #2, you ARE the winners of this test. You will be not competing in my first treatment this season, which will start shortly. Congratulations!
