First Immunity Revealed!

[Maijo]

So then we come to the very first voting cycle. Since the alliances have not revealed themselves by vote just yet, this first Immunity is very important.

It ensures that little bit of safety and leads you one step closer to the Merge.

So... without further ado, after the random selection between tribes:

Keke-Keke Tribe Immunity

Perversion

*AND*

Lawla-Lawla Tribe Immunity

Congratulations to altoecko and Perversion. They cannot be voted out this Friday coming up at the first vote. Allow this to affect your plans in any way you see fit.

How are they randomly selected? Or is that a secret?

[Maijo]

I use GameMaker's random function to choose. I give it the odds and the possible outcomes and it reveals to me the answer on keystroke.

Most fair way I could think of, seeing as it's as perfectly random as it can possibly be.



For those who don't know what GameMaker is, it's an application much like RPG Maker for PC that allows you to make games using a drag-and-drop interface. One of the functions calls a random outcome.

I'm sorry, but I thought the voting cycle didn't begin until Wednesday?

[Maijo]

Well, the cycles are really hectic these first couple of votes. I am leaving for vacation this week and won't have any internet access so I'm giving the Immunities away tonight, giving people time to think about the vote, and then the vote will take place on Friday.

[Chuck]

So we're having the first vote this Friday, the 27th?

[Maijo]

Correct.

And then the voting will be much less sporadic after that.

[Ryner]

Sorry, I just want to make sure I completely understand, this being the first time and all.

Do we send our votes in tomorrow, with a Friday reveal, or do we vote Friday with a Saturday reveal?

[Maijo]

Whenever it is Friday for you, like from 12 AM to 12 AM the next day, send in your vote.


So just anytime during Friday, go ahead. So tomorrow night at 12 AM is fine. Friday at lunch, also good. Just not past 12 AM on Friday night.

And don't worry about time zones. A few hours difference won't matter, I expect most votes to get in around lunchtime or afternoon.



And once I get all the votes in, I will reveal.

[Ryner]

Now, when the loser is killed... will it be quick and painless or slow and agonizing?

[Maijo]

Hmm...


Both.

[Perversion]

So tomorrow night at 12 AM is fine. Friday at lunch, also good. Just not past 12 AM on Friday night.



But tomorrow is only Thursday here in the US. So you want the votes from Friday morning at 12 AM to Saturday morning at 12 AM? Or do you want them on Thursday? I'm confused.


Oh, I think I see....Thursday night/Friday morning at midnight.
