There was just one... tiny little detail left out of the schedule. A small, insignificant thing, really. It's not like its omission was going to change anything, so it should simply be forgotten, so we are able to quickly move on with planned events for Round #9... Right?

Well, not exactly.

Actually, today changes everything, as we're entering a brand new stage of Survivor: Shrieking Wilds. The rivalry between teams ends, as Avida and Savi become a thing of the past. Every remaining player joins a brand new tribe and now has to fend for themselves in a game which has just got much more complicated.

Congratulations everyone. All eleven of you managed to survive every elimination that happened during the tribal stage, as well as the hiatus. I'm very thankful for your efforts.

As we've entered the individual portion of Survivor, there are certain changes you need to be aware of moving forward. So here they are:


- Starting now, every player will be allowed to go on Explorations and get Exploration codes. No more lucky ticket choices will be required - the only thing needed will be a path/chest choice made privately in "Game Actions" chat.

- All of the rewards (Advantages and FR items) available through Explorations which are still unclaimed will be taken out of their chests and randomly distributed among them again. Additionally, the chests will switch positions on Exploration maps. New FR item rewards will be put in empty chests as well.

- Advantages available through Explorations have "an expiration date", meaning, they can't be used after a certain point in the game. Once an Advantage expires, it will disappear from its chest and that chest will not be refilled with FR items later. A chest will also not be refilled if a player claims a reward from it.

- Some of the Advantages the players currently possess will have their descriptions updated this round.

- From now on, every player will be required to submit their own challenge entries via Private Messages on Flight Rising, as the challenges become individual.

- Apart from an Individual Immunity Necklace, every challenge will reward a previously determined number of players with the best scores or entries with Flight Rising items. This means item rewards are no longer distributed by tribe captains. The item rewards for participating in challenges will be given out until there are six players left in the game.

- Now, most of the time, players will be allowed to abstain from challenges, if they can't be present when they happen. In order to abstain from a challenge, a contestant needs to inform the host about it before a particular challenge starts, or 10 hours from the moment it starts at the latest. If a player tries to abstain from a challenge later, or does not inform the host about it at all, they will get a penalty vote.

- The artefacts given out for winning Confessional Spotlights will not be presented as a pool of rewards anymore. Instead, single items will be sent to the winners.

- The schedule for Round #9 will soon be edited to not include the fake information which was there to purposefully mislead the players about the Merge outdated information anymore.

- Usual game events planned for Round #9 will happen a day later (for example, Exploration #9 won't start today, but tomorrow).

- Around 14:00-15:00 FR time, a little celebratory event will be held on the game's Discord and it will last for a bigger part of the current round.

- The merged tribe's name will be revealed later. When, and how exactly? TBD.

- In a day or two, there will be one additional announcement made in the game thread.

Challenge #9
"Seven Boards Of Skill"

The first individual Immunity Challenge of the season tests the contestants' imagination and keen eye. Each player will receive one tangram to solve. What is a tangram? It is an outline of a shape build usually out of these seven polygons:
bXG8W5A.png

The task is to correctly arrange these polygons within the given outline in a way that does not make the polygons overlap.

The shapes can be rotated, but they cannot be mirrored.

An example of a tangram to solve and the solution.

To make it a little more challenging for the members of the merged tribe, each "big" shape they receive will consist of two sets of the above polygons, meaning that every tangram will be made of 14 pieces.

Now, how will this challenge work logistically?

First, when the host is available, a player may signal that they are ready to solve their puzzle. Once they do it and it is confirmed that both the host and the player are online, the contestant receives their outline via a Private Message on Flight Rising. Every player gets a different shape. Then, after they solve it, they need to submit it in another FR message. Submitting a solved tangram may be done only once.

The player who solves their tangram the fastest (time measured from the moment it is sent to the player, to the moment the player submits the solution) wins Individual Immunity and is safe from the vote in Round #9. The others will be vulnerable at the incoming Tribal Council, where one of them will become the tenth eliminated player from Survivor: Shrieking Wilds.

The contestants also play for rewards: Five fastest players will receive a Flight Rising item reward for their efforts.

One additional note about Individual Challenges: sharing information with your fellow tribe mates about them or helping eachother out is prohibited and considered cheating, as working on a challenge after the Merge in a duo or a group would defeat the purpose of individiual challenges. Additionally, while sharing information in other areas of the game is fine, challenges should not be influenced by social politics and all players should be allowed to participate in them on equal footing.

Missing seeing updates on how things are going in Survivor! So wish I could watch what all is going on. I've heard whispers that it's pretty intense. Good luck to all the remaining participants! [emoji=familiar heart size=1]

@PanicGalaxy oh, thank you for posting!
Yeah, the updates in this thread are quite delayed (the reason being that finding time and energy for the backlog of posts I still have to make has been quite the challenge recently) but the game is still going strong on Discord and the players have my undivided attention; we're at the Final 9 stage, currently!

Hopefully my personal schedule allows me to finally get those posts out of the way and let you all know how *amped* the game has become after the merge :>

PS. Also, I'm happy that there are users who still observe the thread and want more details ^.^ Makes me motivated. So thank you again.
