In that case allow me to explain the rules of Survivor. It's really quite simple:

The game consists of 16 people divided into two "tribes" of 8 people each. These two tribes compete in a series of immunity challenges (i.e. puzzles, scavenger hunt, king of the night, etc). The tribe which wins the current challenge gains immunity from the vote. The losing tribe must go to tribal council and vote off one of it's members. The process continues until there are 10 people left, then the two tribes merge and it becomes every man/woman/child for themselves. The challenges then become challenges for individual immunity. This continues until there are only 2 people left, at which point the last 7 people to be voted out come back and vote on which of the 2 remaining survivors wins the prize. That's the basic template anyway. The tribes don't always merge at 10, and there are other twists they like to throw in on occasion (referring to the TV show).

It's an interesting game because initially you want to vote off your weakest members, and then when it becomes every man for themselves it's in your best interest to vote off the strongest since they pose the biggest threat to you. Then if you make it to the end you have to convince 7 people that you helped vote out that they should vote for you to win the prize.

Now in this particular Survivor the survivors will be competing for clues to the treasure in addition to immunity. You don't have to be in Survivor to part of the treasure hunt but it would be to your advantage. Make sense?

Awesome. I think if everyone gives it a try they'll end up liking it. And if not then that's fine too, I'll think of something better next time.

Anyway progress on developing the hunt has proceeded much faster than I anticipated so we might not wait until August. I may go ahead and start the Survivor portion and then have 08/07/06 as the "official" start of the forum-wide hunt.

I wouldn't mind being a part of this as well. I feel that I haven't been around as much this past year. I have never been much of a poster at forums though..but maybe this will get me back into the swing of things. At the same time though, I almost only want to do the hunt, but just let me know when you're deciding to start this, and I'll decide if I want to participate.
