Trial 8: A Game

Hey guys, Peng here! Mat wanted to write a story before I announce Saturday's challenge, so I said why not. Also, for someone named "Maple", come on xat.com/cpskool to talk with us! Here we go:

The final 8 sat in a cold, concrete room. They look around, wondering why they were asked to meet here. They sat silently, looking at one another... were they at the right place? They questioned themselves. Suddenly, the lights turned off, it was dark for a moment. When the lights came back on, Penguin874 stood before them, holding a piece of paper. He read it. "Welcome top 8. I assume that you guys are wondering why you are here... I am delivering some news to you.... You guys have made it half-way into the game, and I'm sure your all getting more excited about CpHigh. It is my duty to inform you that...." Peng stopped and looked at the 8 contestants. "Aww, I'll cut to the cheese." Peng ripped the paper up and tossed it into the floor, and mumbled to himself. "Last time I'm letting Mat type my speech..." Anyways, I brought you guys here to let you know that you have made it to a critical point in the game, and I'm here to let you guys know that you have officially...

MERGED!! Teams are history! From this point on, the game will focus on individual immunity. It is every player for themself! Congratulations!

In other news, THE MERGE Challenge is going to be called....

A Capture the Flag tournament, courtesy of Guitarking97's quick thinking to save us (and to get us time to play Pawn).

The point of this is to have 2 TEMPORARY teams (since this is the merge), according to nickname:

Red

Checkers

Alking

Vinny

Waddle

Blue

Penny

Hedge

k0

Laura

(If someone doesn't show, it will be sorted out, but I have a feeling everyone will come, if they care about the elimination, heh heh)

------------------------------------------------

The 2 teams will use bases according to the picture above. The red line shows where the middle is and it and the green line's space CANNOT be crossed by a guard or a snowball thrower. If they do, they WILL be disqualified, and like the people who get snowballs thrown at them, they will go to the Ice Rink.

There will be 2 flag carriers, whom must be tagged in order for the opposite team to win. They HAVE to wear the color black, and the rest of the team will wear their regular color (be it red or blue).

Once a Flag Carrier is tagged, the tagger WINS.

Also, there will be 2 people watching: Guitarking and I, plus Mat if he is here, to see if a snowball was thrown or not. The majority of us 3 will call it.

------------------------------------------------

You know how we said this was the hardest week of Week 8? Well lets see, there's a merge, and a hard game. But of course, who could forget...

DOUBLE ELIMINATION.

After the winner is announced, that person will choose someone (either red OR blue) to be safe with them.

Then, the remaining people there will have to Private Chat me TWO people they want out. The majority 2 people will go, and next week will be the Final 6.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, here is when it takes place: Saturday, January 9, 2010

Snow Day, Snow Forts (go on chat)

2:00 PST (5:00 EST, 4:00 CNT)

-------------------------------------------------

You ready? GET READY!
