Immunity Challenge #1
Hello everyone and welcome to the first Immunity Challenge of The Survivor Games: Palawan!
The games has already been off to a rocky start, but its about to be rocked one more time with the reveal of this season's twist....THE ALPHAS. As I stated in Tree Mail, you guys were each responsible for selecting an Alpha Male and Alpha Female to represent your tribes. The chosen Alphas were:
Coach was selected as the Alpha Male and Jefra as the Alpha Male. Now all that you were told was that the Alpha role came with a lot of responsibility and great power. You two both took a risk and as a result you are Immune for this round. However, there is more responsibility to being the Alpha then just leading your tribe this round.
Coach and Jefra are now the Alphas and will be either until they step down or are voted out. This means they will have a leadership role in each challenge their tribe competes. And if their tribe succeeds they will be rewards. Each time you have two successful rounds as the Alpha in a row, you get an Individual Immunity Token. This Individual Immunity is good for the next Tribal Council you visit, and will keep you Immune from the vote. The token can't be transfered to another player. This round counts as a successful round for both of you. If you lose as the Alpha, you will be forced to step down and won't be eligible to be the Alpha again in the next round.
The Alpha will not only have a leadership role in the challenges, but at different stages in the game, they will have to make choices that may drastically affect the dynamics of the game. More on those choices will be revealed later in the game, but the Alphas are both about to face one now.
Today's challenge is called "The Alpha's Choice", and that's because you are about the be faced with your first dilemma. I already revealed that you are both Immune this round, and now you each get to choose 5 others on your tribe who will also be Immune. The remaining three will battle it out this round as individuals. One will win Individual Immunity, the other two will be the only people eligible to be voted out at Tribal Council, which both tribes will be attending this round. I had warned you that great power comes with great responsibility.
The 3 people chosen by the Alphas to compete in this challenge will take on three mini-challenges.

Speed
For this mini-challenge, you will be responsible for building 5 fires.
You will start by building the base for your fire. The base will be built by placing wood on the ground and the kindling on top of the wood. This will be done by alternating posting the following two images:
There is no necessary waiting time after placing the wood on the ground before placing the kindling on top of it. Once you have placed the kindling on the wood, you can start lighting the fire.
To light the fire you will have to strike the flint with the machete until it creates a spark. To do this you must post the word "STRIKE" 3 times within the same minute. The times for your posts would be like this:
Post #1: 10:00 - STRIKE
Post #2: 10:00 - STRIKE
Post #3: 10:00 - STRIKE
If you fail to post all three in the same minute, you must start again. Once you have created a spark, you will have to blow on it to create the flame. To do this you must post the word "BLOW" 3 times within the same minute. The times for your posts would be like this:
Post #1: 10:01 - BLOW
Post #2: 10:01 - BLOW
Post #3: 10:01 - BLOW
These actions must be completed in consecutive minutes, one after the other. If there is more than a minute between STRIKE posts and BLOW posts, the fire will not ignite. As well, if you fail to post all three in the same minute, you must start over from the beginning and strike the machete once again to get a spark. If you succeed at both creating a spark and achieving a flame, then you must post the following image:
Once this image is posted you have created a fire. You must do this 5 times, and the person that does this the fastest will win the mini-challenge.

All mini-challenges are to be completed or submitted in your Confessional.

Popularity
This mini-challenge will not require the three challenge participants to do anything, instead it will involve those not competing. The 5 tribe members and the Alpha will have to submit a ranking of each of the three competitors. Ranking from 1 (most liked) to 3 (least liked). The person with the highest average ranking will win this mini-challenge.

All mini-challenges are to be completed or submitted in your Confessional.
You have 24 hours to complete this challenge. After 24 hours, the person who won the most mini-challenges will win Immunity. In the case of a tie, the person who won the Popularity component of the challenge will win Immunity.
Once the Alphas have selected their 3 choices, I will post them in this thread. Coach and Jefra, please contact me ASAP.
If you guys have any questions about the challenge of the Alphas twist feel free to ask me, I'll be glad the answer them.
Survivors ready? GO!
