Sudden Death Redemption #1
Hey there, Flatlanders. Surprise! We found you transportation.
Hopefully, this old wreck will carry you out of this desolate wasteland. Bad news, though...while this ship is big enough for all of you, and there's room to spare...I'm afraid its completely lacking any stores. Not even crackers.
You're going to have to get...creative...with finding rations.
The company would like to remind employees that your lunch break is unpaid, and we do not provide food.
...Good luck.
In this sudden death event, only the challenge winner's vote counts.
Darth Plagueis, you have 24 hours to choose one of your fellow castaways to be eliminated.
No one is immune. No items can change this.

What's this? A transport?
Over here!
Looks like we're finally saved! I mean...uh...of course we are. We definitely dispatched this ship to save you all as soon as your peril was made known to us. Earlier, even! In fact, they're late, and we'll be renegotiating their compensation. We definitely most certainly did not write you off as lost causes and file for a tax break in your name.
We would never do that.
It looks like the rescue ship only has two dinghies, though. (Heh, dinghies.)
Bard, C-3PO & R2-D2, you won the fashion contest. You decide who goes in which boat. There's only room for six, so someone may be left behind.
What, us? No, the executives will be taking that helicopter back to civilization right away. That extra seat you see is for my luggage.
Ta-ta!

Please answer the following questions in this thread:
1) So, now you've met everyone! Did you make some friends?
2) That's right, kids! This was a true shipwreck. It's back to tribes for you...were you expecting this to be a true merge? How far out do you think that is?
3) Shipwrecks are often a prime time for finding hidden idols and/or advantages. At least one was right out there in the open...do such items factor into your decision-making at this stage of the game?
4) On a scale of "Hey is that a smoke monster" to "Hidden in Pine's luggage", how safe do you feel at TC tonight?
5) What is the number one factor influencing how you vote?

Just another day on the wide, flat expanse.
Your bellies are starting to rumble again, especially with a new mouth to feed.
I'm afraid it's that time again. But let's be kind...whichever of you dances the prettiest I'll give a stale chunk of bread to. Then one of you walks the plank.
Well that was...horrifying. Please never do that again.
Whatever, here's your break. Don't mind the weevils. I hear they add crunch!

Yikes!
We've sprung a leak!
Unfortunately, our plumbing proved to be a bit more...complicated than we thought. We had a plumber in here a while ago, but he quoted us an outrageous price to make this place safe. Our in-house guy said it would be fine to fix in-house, but apparently the age of craftmanship is over. Just goes to show, sometimes it pays to hire a pro.
Not that we are legally at fault. The lawyers say that most emphatically.
This place is filling with water pretty quick, and those pipes look none too steady.
CLANG

Please answer the following questions in this thread:
1) So...that challenge was a thing. Everyone (on both tribes) struggled, but yours proved to be regrettably flawed. Where did you go wrong?
2) These tribes were not chosen at random. Your challenge failure notwithstanding, was this tribe well-crafted by Bard?
3) Now would be a great time to have an idol or an advantage in your pocket, wouldn't it?
4) On a scale of "I don't know how to swim!" to "I can hold my breath for five minutes!", how safe do you feel at TC tonight?

Good God, it's boring out here.
Hey, these are easy! If you find the right GIF...
At least there's enough to eat this time around. But oh wait...
What do you mean none of you are plumbers? We've sprung a leak!
Looks like we've only got enough water left for two of you to go on...

Time for another round of "How Do You Really Feel!" Right, right. We all know you're going to hedge your answers in public, if you even bother to respond.
Fair enough, those TC questions were a teensy bit loaded.
Now tell us what's really up.
1) What happened that challenge? Whose fault was it? Are you going to choke vote them out over it?
2) Bard and Droids drafted these teams. Looking back, were those good choices, or not? Does this tribe put you in a strategically good position, or a weak one?
3) Yikes. Now would be a good time to have an item, wouldn't it? Advantages played last round might have changed the outcome - does that put you on edge?
4) Be real, here...are you in danger? Or rather, on this tribe, how much danger are you in?
5) How are you planning to vote, and why? Are they going home?

Okay! I hope you all don't mind that the mods took an extra-long vacation after taking that chopper out of there. Time to...
Oh no. What the devil is going on here?!
We leave for a few days of company-funded debauchery to shame Soddom and Gomorrah BUSINESS CONFERENCE with NETWORKING and you all turn the work site into a flooded gambling den? The health and safety inspector is due any minute! The only way we can pay off GIFT our bribes HONORARIUMS is if this place is on the up and up.
Nope.
Noooooooooope.
We're out of here.
We are again not legally at fault, but...yikes. Time to liquidate some assets and look at restructuring.
What are you looking at, ASSETS? If you don't want to get LIQUIDATED, get to RESTRUCTURING!
Tear this crap down before the inspectors get here. Maybe I can convince her we haven't started yet.
Wait no! That pile of poker chips looks structural!

Well done! We weren’t sure if there were traps in the pyramid, but you found enough of them that we were able to slip in behind you and steal the Pharaoh’s treasure.
Anyway, our new “investor” only wanted this one book from the hoard and said we could keep the rest. He said something about a curse, but I’m sure that was just for the tourists.
I’m sure THAT won’t but us in the ass in the future.
Time to refound the company with the proceeds.
Wait a sec. One, two, three...the permits we applied for stipulated ten minions, not eleven. Where did you come from?
Whatever. I’m sure that won’t be a problem.

A picture’s worth a thousand words, right?
Well, I’m not sure all of YOURS are, but there’s enough there for us to get at least a good idea.
That’s right! This challenge was all about “crowdsourcing” our next big project.
Due to your abject lack of taste, we decided to build a tasteful Art Deco skyscraper.
Well done! Let’s get to work on the foundation!
Well, shit.

Battle stations! All hands, prepare for assault!
Those are Zorpglions out there, people! They mean business, and their anal probes are NOT the fun kind.
Repeat, NOT THE FUN KIND.
So get out to the fighters and show them what we're made of!
They're coming around, they're coming around! This doesn't look good!
The fleet is here! We're saved!
Concentrate all firepower on that carrier!
Whew. The planet is saved.
See? I told you they weren't the fun kind. Not like the ones you lot like to engage in "friendly contact" with on shore leave.
This guy knows what I'm talking about.
The after-action report is in, and...I'm afraid you lot nearly fracked it all up. If not for that Ace in the other squadron, we'd have been on the receiving end of some VERY UNCOMFORTABLE "science".

We managed to get the foundation laid ourselves while you lot were AWOL, and we're pretty much ready to start laying the edifice.
We got some Freemason wizards ENGINEERS to lay a proper cornerstone. They said one of the old stones we found at that dig site a little while back would make for a good story. Our staff Egyptologist was against it, but she had to be hospitalized when she started babbling incoherently. Poor girl. The rigors of construction just aren't for everyone.
I'm sure it will be fine.
Alright people, let's get on those cranes and earth movers, time to put your backs into it!

Great work, everyone!
Wow, the other supervisors have been going on and on about how you lot are useless, but I keep telling them you've got to be good at something. Maybe it's making bri - wait what? We have what in storage?
Never mind. Looks like we've got a robot for that. Well, at least you can start laying the bri - what now? We have one of those, too?
Maybe the curse is just our own incompetence, mismanagement, and haphazard management?
