Survivor: Toon Zone - The Final Immunity Challenge

[Colin]

The final three have finished their goodbyes and paid their respects to those who have left before them. They watch the torches burn and fill the sky with a thick smoke. a thick smoke they think is symbolic in that their futures on the island are still very clouded, thus making it difficult to see further into the end of the game.

The three continue walking along the set path until they reach Colin, who's been napping since Tuesday. Tim steps on a twig and Colin awakens...

"Well, I see you've finally arrived." Colin begins. "You've completed the rememberance ritual. You've no doubt said your goodbyes. I'm certain that no matter how much or how little you said, all the words you spoke were heartfelt and genuine."

The final three contestants all give a slight nod in agreement.

"It's now time to begin the final Immunity Challenge of Survivor: Toon Zone."

Colin then walks away, leaving the bewildered final three standing on the new island alone and confused. After a few minutes, the sound of a speedboat speeding away is heard...

[TimTwoFace]

What? Speedboat? Uhh...girls...where the heck is he going?

If this is anything at all like the show, we're going to be thrown into some sort of endurance challenge. How that's going to work online is beyond me...

*DRAWS LINE IN THE SAND* OK, you both stay on THAT side of the island, and I'll stay on THIS side. :p

-Tim

[Singin' Stray Cat]

Suit yourself. Hey!!!

*erases line and redraws it so that the island is split EVENLY down the middle*

Nice try, buster. And at any rate, I hope there's no hurricanes headed toward THIS island...

[guinaevere]

I feel very outnumbered here. Two mods. One poor pitiful gwen.

:sits and watches Tim & SSC fight it out for territory: :then gets up and starts tearing leaves to make a native salad:


Okay guys. I think he's really gone for now. Y'all want to share this salad with me?

[TimTwoFace]

You split the island EVENLY DOWN THE MIDDLE for the three of us?

Something's wrong with your math, my dear SSC.

*bicker bicker bicker* :D

-Tim

[guinaevere]

Don't bicker, Tim.

Here, how about I stay on your half of the island? Would that be good?

[guinaevere]

Hey guys!! I found a piece of paper with some writing from Colin on it.


But it's torn. Maybe we should scout around for the other pieces to see what the whole message is. :scouting around:

[TimTwoFace]

Uh...what the hell are we doing here?

Seriously, I'm clueless.

-Tim

PS - OK Gwen, you can stay on MY side of the island...IF you will behave yourself and stop being nasty and mean like you were earlier.

[Colin]

While off wandering the islands, in search of the hidden notes, Colin sneaks on to the island and leaves yet another mysterious note in the terrible old tree-mail forced rhyme...



We may always be watching,
but there are still things even we don't know.
To progress further, there are still some things
that you will need to show.

[Singin' Stray Cat]

*scouts up the trees*

*scouts in the bushes*

*scouts around the surf*

*scouts under a log*

*scouts over hill and dale and thither and yon*

Man, I am NEVER gonna find anyth-

*trips over a rock and lands face-first on a piece of paper...but not the one Colin left in his last post! It too appears to be torn from something*

Hmm...could THIS be significant?

*ponders*

[guinaevere]

To progress further, there are still some things
that you will need to show.
hrmm...
I feel like I'm giving away what I should keep to myself. But it would seem prudent to pool our resources. Here's the note I wandered into. It would appear to be the first part...


You've made it this far. Now it's only a little bit further. Now your ultimate survival skills will come into play. You're stranded on a new island. No food, no suitable drinking water, nothing. You know something is coming, but you don't know when. It could come at any time. The one who's most dilligent will have a huge decision to make. Be on your toes, but keep your wits about you. The game the game? the game what?



:hack hack sneeze: oh, I feel miserable...

[TimTwoFace]

THIS IS ALL WE'VE GOT SO FAR:

* * * * * * *

"You've made it this far. Now it's only a little bit further. Now your ultimate survival skills will come into play. You're stranded on a new island. No food, no suitable drinking water, nothing.

The game"

* * * * * *

"the end. Where is this challenge? It should be here... shouldn't it? You've made it this long, but now time is playing a game against you. How long has it been since you were stranded on this new island now? When did you last eat? When was your last drink? Do you think you can last much longer? It's only a matter of time... things may start to look up..."

* * * * * * *

"We may always be watching,

* * * * * * *


Hmm.

-Tim

[TimTwoFace]

OK, I'm still confused. It's not saying what to show...I guess we have to keep waiting.

Has anyone gotten any other notes via PM?

-Tim

[guinaevere]

SSC has. As I understand it, she's over burdened with school work, as I've been over burdened with the flu. =(

But I'm sure she'll post it soon. Unless she decides to keep it for herself. ...naaah!

[Singin' Stray Cat]

*whistles Gilligan's Island theme for no good reason*

I wouldn've been back sooner, but this thing was hidden way the heck on the other side of the island. With many huge ugly mosquitoes en route. So you guys found pieces of paper too, huh? Here's what I got...


begins now. How long can you last? When will the challenge arrive? How will you manage? You know you can do it... you have to. Look at the other players. Do they seem like they are giving in? It's now a fight to Let's see...if we put them together like so...

*puts them together with tape fashioned from coconut strips*

(And yes, I'm busy. I'll save the complete rant for an LJ entry or something.)

[guinaevere]

Discuss? say no more. (as if I even need prompting to start blabbering on...)


First question: How long can you last?
On an island with no food & drinking water. Probably longer than my two opponents. I fast twice a week. I may get cranky, I may complain an awful lot, but I do it. I never give in. hoo ah!
When will the challenge arrive?
I'd say when Colin decides to deliver it. But he's left us. So... I dunno.
How will you manage?
By whining and kvetching. A lot. It's how I manage everything I do.
Look at the other players. Do they seem like they are giving in?
Naw. The three of us have put a LOT of effort into getting here. And looking at Tim & SSC, neither of them look as if they're about to give up now.
Where is this challenge?
Seeing as how Colin took us of our island and left us stranded in the ocean, I don't know if any of us know for sure which we are... or if this challenge is going to take place here at all.
How long has it been since you were stranded on this new island now?
We were tossed overboard the morning of Sept 6, 2004. I think the three of us reached the nearest island at around... noon that day. So just about 8 days. Plus or minus 5 hours.
When did you last eat?
I made a disgusting salad of various indigenous leaves that afternoon. It really was too grosse for words, so it's been about a week. And it's doing wonders for my diet.
When was your last drink?
Over one week. I didn't know I could last this long without water. Good thing I'm a camel.
Do you think you can last much longer?
Yes. Do I want to go on without food & water? No. But I will. I am fierce and mighty. :D

[Colin]

*walkie talkie crackles*

"Recon shows that the three have left there surrogate camp. It should be safe to move in... proceed with caution... Over and out!"


A shadowy figure sneaks into the surrogate camp, leaving one final message for the remaining three survivors. After dropping the note off, he disappears off the island...



Congratulations, you've made it this far. You've lasted on a new island and been able to survive and support yourselves for this long. Now it's time to complete one last task. It's an easy one, but still the most important challenge. The winner of this challenge is guarenteed a spot in the final two. Now is the time to try your souls and rise to the occaision. Can you survive one more day? The challenge is at hand, it's all up to you.

Ik bevind me vóór u, hebben voltooidd alle taken die vóór me worden geplaatst.
Eu tive meu olho no prêmio final para assim por muito tempo.
Jetzt fühle ich, daß ich weiß, daß ich es gewinnen kann.
Ho combattuto duro per ottenere dove sono oggi.
Me han probado, se han atormentado y se han intentado.
Je me tiens maintenant prêt, pour attendre le jugement final.
My feenel guel... tu be-a zee Sule-a Soorfeefur! Bork Bork Bork!

[TimTwoFace]

Ack. ACK, I say! ACK!

-Tim

[Colin]

You people and your need for instand gratification/closure... bleh! ;)

Anyhoo... as we already know, YES Gwen won immunity. Gwen successfully deciphered the final puzzle... the puzzle that they waited days, nay, weeks for... the puzzle that was delivered when it just so happened that NONE of them were online (making it as fair as I possibly could, keep in mind! I was gonna deliver it either when you were all online or when none were online... but I had to deliver it soon, cause the jury's getting antsy!)

Anyhoo, the original message is above...

Thanks to the wonders of modern technology and the ability to create funny translations by using online translators, Gwen was able to guess within very close reason (cause lets face it, translation is never exact!) the exact translation of the puzzle (tho, I hear the Swedish Chef translation had her a bit stumped)

here's what my original was: (with appropriate language after each line)
I stand before you, having completed all tasks set before me. *Dutch
I have had my eye on the final prize for so long. *Portuguese
Now I feel that I know I can win it. *German
I have fought hard to get where I am today. *Italian
I have been tested, tormented and tried. *Spanish
I now stand ready, to await the final judgement. *French
My final goal... to be the Sole Survivor! *Swedish Chef


Here's Gwen's fun-filled Babelfish translation!
I am myself by you, have fullfilled all tasks which are placed by me.
I had my eye in the final prize for thus for much time.
Now I feel, that I know, that I can win it.
I have fought hard in order to obtain where they are today.
They have proven to me, they have been tormented and they have been tried.
I am held now ready, to await the final judgement.
My final goal to be the sole survivor. bork bork bork!

and, as an added bonus... here's the Gwenified translation!
Here I am. I've completed all your silly tasks and challenges.
I have been eyeing that prize for many weeks ney, months.
Now I feel and know that I can win it.
I have fought hard to get this far.
I have proven myself against these challanges of yours which have tested and tormented me.
And I am now ready to await the final judgement.
My final goal to be the sole survivor.
