I have a number of regrets with my picks, the biggest of which was the fact that so many of my preferences were already taken. So I went with plan B: Use as many "John"s as possible.

This should equate to my dominance in this challenge.

Or my failure (hope not!).

Go JOHNNIE Go!

Do your best!

Remember who you are fighting for
... it's (blah blah blah) MESS!!!

I do lvoe you, you know that, right? If not check your redflaggy thingy.

And I love U2, tribe. I mean, you just can't go wrong with Bono's passionate deliver and the Edge's driving riffs!

And, of course, I love my tribey-pooh!

Everybody got their lists in, great! PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY (And then read again )

Now we start Part 2 which is to be played in rounds. This is very similar to the card game "war" that you maybe played as a kid but with a little twist of "capture the flag" tossed in.

You will need to arrange your list in whatever order you want. When submitting your entry list the number the name and if you want to use the one time bonus, put that in parenthesis. All entries shall be sent to me via PM. The object of this game is to capture the other opponents #1 survivor. Once your #1 survivor is captured by any other player, you are out of the challenge. The first player to capture and keep THREE #1 survivors will win immunity.

As an added benefit in each round- for every 5 survivors you capture, you get 1 pick added to your alotment.

The Ranks
#1 beats anything lower
WC beats #1 and anything lower
WC can be beat by a #16
All other ranks, the higher rank wins.

Ties
In a 2 or 3 way tie, just like the game war, the next 3 survivors are "down" and the 4th one is up to break the tie. In the event that the tie happens on the very last survivor, I will go back up to the top to see which top survivor was higher.

The Bonus/Dud Survivors
A: Bombs- Osten, Ghandia, Jeff, Janu, Mitchell but since nobody had them on their list, it won't come into play.

B: Stars- Kathy, Colby, Brian, Tom W., Sandra

C: Motivators- Michael, Paschal, Stephenie, Rudy, Elisabeth

D: Deceptors- Jon D., Rob C., Richard, Rob M., Chris

How to use a bonus survivor
1. Each bonus is a ONE TIME use, so use it strategically.

2. If you lose the survivor with the bonus power and you have not used their bonus power not only do you lose the bonus power but you have given it away to an opponent to use.

3. If you have multiple bonus survivors you can only use 1 per round, so again make your plan strategically and make sure it is clear on your entry so that I don't have to PM you for clarification.

4. Any survivor transformed by one of the powers will only last for 1 round and will then be the rank they started at, whether the survivor was won or lost in battle.

Bonus powers
Stars: When using your stars power you can pick any ONE survivor on your list to temporarily turn into either a WC or a #16.

Motivators: Inspires THREE other survivors on your list to increase in rank by 1. (If you use this on your entry you must indicate which 3 survivors will move up in rank as well as which motivator you are using, the motivator can increase their own rank if you want.)

Deceptors: Convinces THREE other survivors on your opponents list to decrease in rank by 1. (If you are battling 2 opponents it would affect both opponents. In this entry you must indicate which slot you want the rank to affect since you won't be seeing their entry ahead of time.)

Round 1 Matchups:
DreamerBeliever vs LibraRising
MJewel vs John MC vs Cuon

Please send me the order of your first battle list, if you want to use a bonus, please indicate which one and which survivors you want affected. Any questions, please ask in this thread.

Once I receive all the round 1 orders, I will post the results here and then we will move on to round 2. Try to get round 1 lists to me ASAP to keep the challenge moving.

The next post has your official lists, below that are some sample valid list entries.

Good luck!

Before you edit your list order, here are the official locked in lists:

I have indicated bonuses in parenthesis, remember you can only use 1 bonus per round and you must be clear which one you are using and on which survivors.

Here is my entry, I am using my motivator Paschal to change rank of Sandra, Kim J, and Ian.

13 Travis
8 Chad
6 Gregg
16 Nicole
2 Ian
7 Tijuana
WC Sandra
9 Sarge
10 Rory
11 Ibrehem
1 Kim J
12 James
15 BB
4 Paschal
14 Brady
5 Sean R.
WC Jolanda

I am going to use my deceptor Richard to change the rank on my opponents list at the 3rd, 6th, and 10th positions.

10 Gretchen
8 Jenna L
11 Joel
2 Kelly W
15 BB
3 Rudy
WC Dolly
4 Susan
16 Sonja
13 Ramona
6 Colleen
1 Richard

Entry 1- (modifications from deceptor bonus in bold)
13 Travis
8 Chad
7 Gregg
16 Nicole
2 Ian
8 Tijuana
WC Sandra
9 Sarge
10 Rory
12 Ibrehem
1 Kim J
12 James
15 BB
4 Paschal
14 Brady
5 Sean R.
WC Jolanda

Entry 2-
10 Gretchen
8 Jenna L
11 Joel
2 Kelly W
15 BB
3 Rudy
WC Dolly
4 Susan
16 Sonja
13 Ramona
6 Colleen
1 Richard
9 Greg
12 Dirk
14 Stacey
7 Gervase
5 Sean K

Scoring it:
1- Entry 2 captures 13 Travis
2- TIE won by Entry 2 who captures 8 Chad, 6 Gregg, 16 Nicole, 2 Ian, 7 Tijuana
3- TIE won by Entry 1 who captures WC Dolly, 4 Susan, 16 Sonja, 13 Ramona, 6 Colleen
4- Entry 2 captures 12 James
5- Entry 2 captures 15 BB
6- Entry 1 captures 12 Dirk
7- TIE won by Entry 1 who captures 14 Stacey, 7 Gervase, 5 Sean K

In this case of a tie near the end, 1 survivor is "down" and the last survivor breaks the tie. If the tie happens right at the last survivor, no survivors are "down" but the top on the list would break the tie.

Neither opponent lost their #1 so they would both be alive in round 2.

I have 2 valid round 1 entries and waiting on 3 others as soon as possible so we can keep this moving, thanks.

PM sent. Sorry I'm late KO but it was a late one last night and this bad boy needed to sleep in some I'm away on business on Sunday until late Monday evening, think this will over before then?

I hope to have this done by then, it depends how quick I can get the last 2 entries.

I didn't want to have to do this, but I still am waiting for one more round 1 entry. The deadline for round 1 entries will be noon EST today. At that point I will do a random draw for the final entries order and then post the results.

Sorry for the delay guys, but I do want to finish this challenge before tomorrow so that you know if you have immunity or not in time for the eraly bird entry.

OK, with the instituted deadline I drew randomly to make up the final entry list, here are the 5 lists.

After a mass tie, DreamerBeliever captures Libra's #1 and moves on to round 2, I will post the new list below. Libra earned 2 picks added to his alotment for capturing 8 of DB's survivors.

The 3 way battle saved some ties since the best rank wins. MJ captured John Mc's #1 so he is out of the game. He gets 2 picks added to his alotment for capturing 10 players. Cuon is still in the game and will get 3 picks added to her alotment for capturing 14 survivors. MJ gets 2 picks added to her alotments.

See next post for new lists and round 2 info.

Eliminated: LibraRising and John Mc.

Thanks for the chance, KO, but I'm sorry I couldn't log on this weekend. I'm usually not on, but I guess that's the breaks. This would have been a fun one!

Good luck, DB, MJ, and cuon!

Note: Since MJ only has 15 survivors on her list, once it gets to the 16th person it will then become a 2 way battle. Cuon you have 3 extra survivors that you can put at the bottom and protect, but it can't be your #1's.

Please send me the new order for your round 2 list by 7pm EST tonight or sooner. If I get them all sooner I will post results and move on to the 3rd round.

PM for round 2 sent KO. Well I'm on the road again, if I make it into round 3, I can probably make my own picks again in 8 or 9 hours.

Big shoutout and *smooshy* to wallflower for wanting to fill-in for me if it was needed. Your such a sweetie

Hey, cool, DB. Glad you made it. I was just about to send my list, so you got it in right on time! Woohoo, the pressure's off me!

WC Dolly

Used Richard the deceptor to change the 16, 17, 18 spots of his opponent.

MJ had a terrific round and snagged Cuon's #1, sorry Cuon you are out of the running.

It is now a one on one battle for immunity between DB and MJ. All MJ has to do is win 1 more #1 while hanging on to all her own. If DB happens to capture MJ's own #1 that she started with, then she will be out and DB will win immunity. If he captures a different #1 then we would go to another round.

The survivors that are left:

DreamerBeliever
1 Brian (Star)

Since DB has 12 survivors left, MJ you must include all of your #1's in the top 12 of your round 3 list, outside of that you can protect any other survivors by keeping them below that point.

Please PM me your list by 8am EST tomorrow. If I get them sooner I will post results sooner.

2 Colby

Used his Colby star card to change John K to a WC.

DB captured one of MJ's #1's but it wasn't her original so she is still in this game as things heat up. First one to steal the others original #1 or get to 3 #1's besides their own will win immunity.

Same rules apply as before, MJ you must include all your #1's in your list (and please list all your players for me so it makes it easier when I compile who you have left.)

Mensa?

That's Ms. Mensa to you.

Another neato game by KO. And, if I'm not mistaken, done while travelling!

And, if I'm not mistaken, done while travelling!
