As much fun as it would be to pass around a torch for our first challenge, that would be far too easy. If you all want to succeed in this game, you're going to have to dedicate yourself and dig deep. At no point will this game be easy.

For this challenge, both tribes have been marooned several yards from the islands. With the help of players OUTSIDE OF THE GAME, they will need to gather supplies, paddle to land, and build their shelter.

First, I will post a blog for each tribe - here, people will gather supplies. People OUTSIDE OF THE GAME will need to comment each of these, and a single person cannot be used twice.

*grabs flint*
*grabs bucket*
*grabs wood*
*grabs rope*
*grabs chickens*
*grabs rice*
*grabs beans*

Once these seven items have been grabbed, I will post "GO ___ TRIBE" in this thread. The tribe must then get in the canoe. To row the boat, the tribe must post *PADDLES* 20 times in this thread. The same person cannot post twice in a row, so you'll be alternating members - any number of people, two to ten, can help in this part.

(The paddling part will have actual players in the game posting - not outside people).

When they are finished, someone from the tribe will post "DONE" - make sure it's in all caps for visibility's sake.

Finally, the tribes must construct their shelter. Each post requires someone from outside-the-game to comment in this thread.

*builds base for ____ tribe*
*builds walls for ____ tribe *
*builds roof for ____ tribe*
*starts fire for ____ tribe*

As fire represents life in the game of Survivor, the first tribe to start a fire will be safe for tonight. Losers will be headed to tribal council, where the 1st person will be voted out of this game.

THIS WILL TAKE PLACE TOMORROW (Wednesday, February 18th) AT 6 PM EST.
