ROUND NINE: HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT?
Come on in, guys! Rupert voted out last round.
I'll take this back.
Today... immunity is NOT up for grabs.
That's because today...
DROP YOUR BUFFS!

Since I'm sure you're all feeling the love, the name for this tribe is Cinta - Malay for "love." The tribe camp, usergroup edits, updated memory wall, etc. will all be attended to shortly.
Oh, and... one more thing...
Bob Dawg has been seizing moments all season long, and, well... he did it again, counting 33 coins in "Addition and Subtraction" to beat his Manchurian F2 ally DDanielle [who got 21 posts before messing up] to re-enter the game. Rupert was unable to do the challenge, and, well, I can't delay the game for your birthday, and Danielle and Bob Dawg didn't want to sit out of the immunity. Sorry, Rupert. :/
Bobby will be a part of Cinta, but will not have any special immunity. He will be awarded 8 points for returning to the game, as well as additional points for confessionals and the like during his stay at Redemption.
Redemption Island is now OVER. In fact, ALL of the twists announced at the beginning of the game, aside from the Survivor Shop, are done. No more kidnappings since you're all one tribe. No more Redemption Island. And no more karma-related stuff. I do like to be exalted, though, so feel free to give me some love and I'll be nicer when awarding points
Now, onto the challenge. This is what you're playing for:
The goal of this challenge is to post once a minute for as long as possible; HOWEVER, there is a twist. You must also post your avatar once for every minute you have posted so far, meaning you'll have 2 avatars for 2 minutes, 17 avatars for 17 minutes, 38 avatars after 38 minutes, etc.
Here is an example using my original AS avatar:
10:01 post
10:02 post
10:03 post
10:04 post
.................
10:32 post
Et cetera.
You needn't center it, you call on if you do or not.
I WOULD like it if you did it in rows of 10, that would make it easier to tally. If you do it all vertically, I will NOT tally. That's WAY too difficult to score.
You will be using the miniature size of your avatar for this (right click on yours to be able to copy the link from the menu):
 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
ALINA | AUSTIN | BOBBY | BRETT | COLLEEN | ERINN | HUNTER | KIM | LEX | ROB | RUSSELL |
You MAY both edit and delete your posts, but keep in mind that the "last edit by" timestamp is the one that will be counted. Meaning if you edit your 4:34 post at 4:35, it will count as 4:35 and thus be a mistake. If you miss a minute, you're done. If your displayed number of avatars doesn't match, that's it for you. Make SURE you close your image tags, since that counts!
Each of you will also get a mulligan - this means that if you mess up once, you're fine. This counts for ANYTHING - if you miss a minute, just keep going as normal. However, if you miss 4:42 when you are supposed have 42 avatars, post 43 avatars at 4:43. The mulligan is only for ONE post, so if you have multiple miscounted avatars, you're done.
Any person who lasts for 90 minutes or longer will get bonus shop points. Whoever does this for the longest WITHOUT messing up the minute or the number of avatars (after use of mulligan) wins immunity in addition to the bonus.
A note: this was to be used as an elimination challenge, but due to a certain jackass quitting and fucking with the game's entire plan, we had to change a LOT of things. If someone could tell him to quit trolling me with his status updates, I'll stop trolling him with these jabs.
You have until 9 PM EDT tomorrow to start this challenge. I won't let it go after 11, so be finished by then.
If you have questions, let me know. Good luck everyone! All-Stars ready? GO!
