Luxury
Challenge
Yeontoo called the eight remaining auditioners together, into the stone chamber. While Tex and SE light the torches, which seem to now be their chore, Yeontoo speaks softly. "Neither side has a decided advantage over the other one, and the position of 5th Slider is still very much up in the air." The eight potentials glanced at each other, gauging each others strengths and weaknesses. Which ones to avoid. Which ones to exploit. Each deciding that they would make the best 5th Slider. "Its time for a Luxury Challenge, isn't it?" Brit grinned, swathed in his confidence. "Should be." Tex sat down, "Question is, what are the prizes?" "I wouldn't mind a steak dinner" WldKlly wiped the corner of her mouth, her eyes taking on a faraway gleam for just a minute. "Yeah, with all the fixings." "A Real First Aid Kit would be nice." Slider 8 paused…. "but a Hershey bar sounds even better!" The group murmured for a few moments. "I could use an air mattress" MSR sighed. "This ground gets harder and harder every night." DMD grinned. Satisfied in his choice luxury item, he added, "I'll take a nice comfy pillow to go with mine." MSR suddenly wonders if she can trade with DMD… hoping she wins this challenge. "Clean Clothes." SE looked down at his ensemble, smirking. "Clean clothes should NOT be a luxury." "A letter home, " VM sighed, "A letter to my girlfriend." "Whats with the rain?" Wldklly asked Yeontoo in the midst of all the chitchat. "The Rainy Season came early this year. It wasn't something planned, but now it's something you will have to contend with." Yeontoo said with scrunchy face. Another collective groan rose up. "That means better tending of the fire." SE started. "And making sure to gather the wood to be dry when we need it ole chap" Brit added. "I want more ice cream" Tex announced, sitting straighter on his seat. "We're as ready as we'll ever be Y, for the next challenge." MSR giggled at the expression that was dancing across Tex's face. Yeontoo handed gave out the challenge. "First one to get them all correct gets their choice of: Complete Change of Clothes A 1lb bag of M&M's Machete ************************************************************ Inventions Which came first? (matching letters and numbers) Can you guess in which order people invented these tools that improved communication? Invention: A. Electronic Computer B. Flash Photography C. The Internet D.

Re: Luxury Challenge
DMD finished his attempt at the luxury challenge and examined their camp. Morpheus' mud hut had collapsed in the recent rains. Fortunatly for him, he'd left the island before that. Between that mess and the occasional monkey raid, the area was a disaster. Diesel |

Immunity Challenge
Mz Yeontoo called the teams together to the stone chamber again for the Immunity Challenge. She heard grumbling about how fast paced things seemed to be, but she was unable to pinpoint who to answer directly to. Tex and SE lit the torches as their teammates settle in, for what they each hope will be a fast win. Addressing the grumbling, Y took a deep breath and spoke softly, "Sliding is an unknown when it comes to how good or bad the slide will go. Rests come at odd times, and you must remain on your toes at all times. How you handle stress is being being measured and tallied. Don't give up now, keep your eyes on the prize guys." Yeontoo paused, thru giving her pep talk for the day. Everyone looked at each other, first at the other team, then at their own team mates… wondering who was about to give up. All the searching yielded zero results. Yeontoo pulled out two more posterboards, a familiar sight to the group by now. Two pencils with huge erasers this time where in laying on the bench beside her. "Pencils?" MSR whispered to Tex. "Pencils and not pens?" "New challenge for the Teams." Yeontoo handed out the posters and pencils to the ladies of the teams. "This is Make a Story." "The Rules are: 1. At least three (3) members per team must participate on your challenge forum 2. Story must include every title of every episode, the FULL title. The title won't be credited if its missing a word. Exception to the rule: "Part 1" "Part 2", but the title will have to be used twice (ie. Use "Pilot" twice in the story) 3. Story must have continuity. The sentence(s) that doesn't fit the story, any titles included in it won't be credited. 4. Story must make sense. The sentence(s) that doesn't make sense, any titles included in it won't be credited. 5. There is not a length requirement or limit. 6. Talk out the story inside your forum, thru emails, or thru icq/aim. I will answer questions, but I won't give a "tally". Work on agreeing on a team submission. 7. Monday 5pm October 2, 2000, the Challenges will be locked. Your submission should be titled "Team (Alpha or Omega) Challenge 3 Submission" in at least two (2) parts from 2 team members. 8. In case of a tie, I'll use the times posted to pick a winner. Questions? (Tex and SE, I need the challenge forums password protected again. Thanks Guys!) Same password! |

Cleanup
SE surveyed the campsite after coming back from the challenge. "Ugh! Mud covering everything!" He bent down and picked up the stew pot by the handle. Mud oozed out of it, plopping in a pile. "Guys, I think its time to move the camp a little back into the jungle. Maybe the wide leaves will serve as better cover to the rain." SE gathered stuff up and starting moving it back about 50 feet in armfuls under some broad leaf tropical plants. "Come on guys, lets get the camp in order." |

It's camp movin' time!!
The group began grabbing various items. They followed SE deeper into the woods. Hopefully they would find a better, less muddy site. "Klly, just wondering, why did you bring those logs with us? Can't we just find new logs?" DMD asked. "Well, I could, but then Patty, Sue, Sammy and Mr. Mondo would be lonely!" She replied. "Who are Patty, Sue, Sammy and Mr. Mondo?" S8 asked, confused. "They are the logs of course!! They are my pets!!" Edited by: WldKlly at: 10/2/00 4:54:19 pm |

Re: It's camp movin'
time!!
"Right..." Slider8 replied as WldKlly hopped deeper into ther woods with her "pets." "She can be a strange one." SE said. "Oh yeah." S8 replied. About an hour or two later, the team had successfully set the camp about 40 feet into the jungle. It now sat mainly on a small open area in the jungle, covered by a a canopy of trees. They couldn't move it too far back or else Klly would complain that she couldn't see the ocean. The camp looked much better now. They had room to work with it this time. DMD and Slider8 had built makeshift stairs leading up to a second level room, supported by large tree branches. "I call the top!" DMD shouted. [:::]o]}= = = =(((o))) -Slider8 |

After the challenge.
DMD returned from the challenge site exhausted. All he wanted to do was climb up into the tree branches and collapse. Slider8: "That was a tough one. Fun, tho'." DMD: "Mmmm hmmm. Well, at least we all know why no one's seen any fan fic come from me." SE: "Personally, I thought we did pretty well, considering the circumstances." Klly: "I wonder when we'll hear the results." |

Re: After the challenge.
SE slumped back against the trunk of the tree that held DMD. He tilted his head back and rested his forearms on his knees. "I really liked how our story turned out. It evolved quite nicely and was a fun read. I had no idea how we were going to work all those "Slide" titles in there." He looked up at DMD, "Nice job getting those in there. 
" He laced his hands behind his head and relaxed. "Anyway, for a storytrain concept I think it came out well. We'll have to wait and see if we won... if not, this place is going to get a little more quiet in a couple days."

Re:
After the challenge.
"Yeah, I think the story came out pretty good too. We're just lucky everyone understood the concept. Good idea SE." Slider8 said. "Thanks." He replied. "Yeah, maybe Yeontoo will get back to us soon." Said DMD. "I hope." Klly commented. [:::]o]}= = = =(((o))) -Slider8 |

Winner of Challenge
is..
Yeontoo got off the cell phone with her two consultants from the other island. She sighed, marking down the results. Finished, she tacked it to the totem pole outside. Muttering about how late she was, she looked around to see the teams running to see who won and who had to vote a member off. Yeontoo sighed. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& & & & Alpha Team 74 & & Omega Team 71 & & &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& (guys, give me a few minutes, and I'll post the breakdowns and comments on the individual challenges) |
