Hey Ex, I have a question. If the person who gets the most votes chooses to play the immunity idol - what happens? Is no one voted off? Or does the person with the second most votes asked to leave?

The latter: second most votes. For example: if Quis had played it at the last Tribal Council, Lardy would have been voted off with just one vote! The idol may only be played up to the final four, at which point it's nullified.

I'm going fishing with my stick again. I think I will try a new spot today and see what I can spear.

Well, let's take a look at the new unified Tribe all decked out in their new black buffs... including Gamara, just back from Exile Island:
Looking good, guys. OK, before we get into tonight's challenge, first things first. You had a night to talk it over, so, what have you decided your new tribe name is going to be?

I don't know that there's been a decision. I suggested TYROC and a few people seemed to like it, but I don't know that we've reached a consensus.

All right, for the time being, you shall remain nameless, but hopefully by Tribal you've got one picked out.
OK, tonight's challenge is one of subtlety and grace, as we put a new spin on the ancient game of game of chess (still played even today by such notables as Brainiac 5 and the Khundish Field Marshall, Lorca). So, pass by the castle and ask for the check, mates, it's time to start:
How do you guys like my new friend? I found him trotting along the beach. Who's a good boy... huh? Who's a good boy? You want a carrot, buddy, huh? He reminds me a little bit of Supergirl's old boyfr... er... pet.
Anyway, here's how tonight's challenge will work:
- Below you will see a standard chess board upon which three pieces have already been placed:
- In squares B1 and B8 you will notice your old friends, and members of our jury: Quislet Esq and dedman. For the purpose of the game tonight they have the abilities of Queens (no snickering, now!) That is to say, they have the ability to capture within the entire length of the row, column, or any diagonal upon which they rest.
- In square B3, we see the lovely Miss Drura Sehpt, Infectious Lass, who tonight represents Immunity in the form of a blocking Pawn.
- Your challenge is to place 7 other pieces on the board (one for each member of your tribe, including yourself). Each new piece will also have the ability to act as a Queen (the ability to capture within the entire length of the row, column, or any diagonal upon which they rest).
- You must place the pieces in such a way that no Queen has the ability to capture another Queen (that is to say: unless the Pawn sits between them to block - as it currently does between Quis and dedman, no two Queens should occupy the same row, column or diagonal).
A few stipulations:
- The existing pieces (Quis, dedman, and Drura) may not be moved from their current positions.
- Your own piece must be placed in such a way as to be touching the Immunity square.
- No piece other than your own may be touching the Immunity square.
If you think you have a layout which meets all of the above criteria, send a PM to Exnihil with your solution in the following format: example: Novelty - A1, Lone Wolf - B2, etc. Any solutions posted on the board will mean immediate disqualification for that Survivor, and give a free pass to the next person to submit correctly.
There are a few different solutions to this Challenge but... as a hint... a particularly elegant one is suggested by the title of the Challenge itself. The first person to submit the correct solution wins Individual Immunity and is safe at Tribal Council.
Survivors ready? Go!
