Introduction

Welcome to Day 33 in survivor-webcam 3.0. It’s been roughly a month since you began this game. Enough time to know one another, plan out your strategy and plenty of time to decide your fate in this game. Four people before you have been voted out. Obviously, fate was not in their favour which would explain why you’re here and they’re not. Today is not an Immunity Challenge or a Swing Challenge, it’s a different Challenge.

Tonight, something very different is happening and I’ll be honest with you right now, somebody may be voted out this week, somebody may not. It depends on the choices you decide to make tonight and over the course of the next day. The game of survivor-webcam is constantly changing and more often than once. This game will not get any easier.

Many assumptions have been running rampant over the past few days, since the "changes" Treemail. Many assumptions were based on clues given. I'll neither confirm nor deny any of those assumptions. What I will do, is tell you live, in tonight's open-challenge chatroom. Everything you need to be told, will be told there. Be ready to accept the invite.

Tonight's Challenge is not an Immunity Challenge nor a Swing Challenge. It's a different Challenge. One that may have the frosted appearance of an Immunity Challenge, when in reality is something completely different. The question is, what are you competing for? What are the details? Those details are about to be sorted out but in the meantime, I have provided the information you need to know for this Challenge and what both tribes need to do to win it.

Background Information/Directions

Tonight/Tomorrow, your Tribe will creating a website. This website will be composed of four pages. Each person in the Tribe will contribute one page to the entire website.

Each page you do will deal with each of the four sections listed at the very top of this page (Surviving the Host, Surviving The Challenges, Surviving The Social Politics. Surviving Tribal Councils). The website will be called the "survivor-webcam 3.0 Survival Guide". This guide must be inuitive, easy-to-read, easy-to-follow and easy-to-interpret. Write this Survival Guide as though you were writing it to someone who has never heard of, or watched SW or any of it's predecessors.

Being a traditional survivor-webcam Challenge and keeping with that tradition, only four people from each side will be doing the leg-work of this challenge. Take note that one person is sitting out in Chock Dee and three people in Sanuk. Please post in your tribe forum, who is doing what and who is sitting out BEFORE you begin the challenge.

Linking Your Sites Together

Your sites must be linked to one another, in chronological SEQUENCE. If 'Person A' does Section One - "Surviving Your Host", there should be a link at the bottom of the page that links to Section Two - "Surviving The Challenges" (Person B's page), and so forth. If this is not done, your entire Project will be deducted 500 points.

This Challenge is very open-ended. What you do from this point on, is solely up to you. Make sure you do work that will gain you points. Flash & Javascript and other extras will not count as extra points. They are worth nothing. Basically, do what will get you points. If you want to do extras, that is up to you as an individual or as a group.

Your webpage can be shared and hosted on one site or on a combination of different sites. Just make sure all sections link in chronological order. No acceptions will be made for this rule.

Submitting

You will each submit me your links, on your own, as you finish.

The moment you are done with your page, email me your link individually. So in total, I should receive 4 seperate emails from 4 different people, on each tribe. Each email should contain a link to your html. As was the case in the previous challenge, find whatever resources you can use, to host your page and put it together.
