Stranded in Namibia

Welcome back everyone.

Before I explain the challenge, first thing's first.

At 8c/9e you will have 5 minutes to PM me if you would like to guess at the mole. Only one guess per tribe for the entire game. First come, first serve. If you're wrong, you go to the other tribe, if you're right you get an idol, remain anonymous and the mole is exposed and sent away.


For the first of two twists, as promised, you can now private message me and specify if you would like a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol.

There will be one hidden at your camps after the Tribal Council tonight. If you take a clue, your tribe will receive a penalty in today's challenge. It will remain anonymous, however.


So two things to PM over, all during the 5 minute window at 8c/9e. Will you guess at the mole, will you take an HII clue and give your tribe a disadvantage?

Good luck.

I forgot to mention. This idol is only good pre-merge. It expires in the merge which can come at any time. Also, the idols must be used on players from the tribes in which they are assigned.

Alright no takers on either offer, two strong tribes!

So here is how tonight's challenge will work. Please pay attention to the rules because every year they get someone.

Both tribes will designate a leader. It will be there job to keep track of time.

You will only have 20 minutes on the dot to solve this challenge.

You will get 10 scrambled words dealing with Namibia. The letters are numbered and those numbers will help you solve a final phrase. The tribe who correctly solves the most words/phrase by the time the 20 minutes are up wins. If both tribes tie with the amount of correct words, the tribe that submits first wins.

Here's the tricky party. You can only submit your answers once within 20 minutes. You will do this by creating a new thread in your challenge discussion forum with all of your words in the same post. This cannot be edited after you have submitted so make sure you submit the right list. You also must submit before the 20 minute time limit runs out.

I'll open up for questions now.

Which part of the rules usually gets people?

Does the leader need to be the one who posts the new thread?

Can we use two people to complete this challenge? Do we need to use any more then that?

I don't get "the letters are numbered" part.

Also do the have to sit people out? Cause they have more people.

So you said the letters correspond with numbers, could you give an example of this?

Also, how does the final phrase factor in? Are we trying to get the most words or just to get the final phrase the quickest?

Is the leaders only job to keep track of time and submit the thread with the answers?

Please answer my question about how the phrase ties in to this.

Ah, alright. Thanks.

The phrase is counted as an extra word, they're all worth the same amount of points. We're going off the point system.

Let's say the word is J E F F P R O B S T and each letter is numbered 1-10. That would make the phrase
