Which legendaries do you like?

Latias, Virizion, Deoxys, and Rayquaza. Kind of had to include him because Groudon and Kyogre were in the game.

God ****ing dammit HIR for number 3, I thought you used the "!" as punctuation. I didn't know you meant it as factorial. That's why I was so confused at the question >.>
Make it more clear next time please?

You realize you're allowed to ask for clarification, right? I prefaced it with "In math" and I end my questions with question marks. <.<;

Well, ****.

The first round of voting is now closed!
And we will have two eliminations on our hands. They just might not be who you expected. Results are incoming.

Chapter 3, Night

Lugia of Team Lustrous has been eliminated from the game due to excessive inactivity!
Xerneas of Team Adamant has quit the game!
Ho-Oh and Yveltal have upgraded!

16 players now remain. Day 4 will start later, I think. @.@

Well, didn't see that coming.

Those be some crazy votes

That moment when Dialga votes for himself

Chapter 4, Day

It is now Day 4!
The Story so Far: After Xerneas's questionable sacrifice, the two teams have traveled to Shamouti Island. Scarlet Queen and Guile Steelfist are up to their tricks here too! Stop them before it's too late!

For today's challenge...
Defeat the BOSS: Mecha-Tyranitar!
Answer these 10 questions. The theme this time revolves around "low." Why is that? Well...

SCORING: In order to be eligible to win immunity, you MUST earn a score of 0 or less. Correct answers are worth -1 points, incorrect answers are worth +0.5 points, and skipped questions are worth +1 points. Lowest score wins. In the event that no one obtains a score of 0 or less, the player with the highest score WILL be eliminated... no votes necessary!

C: Wontons
D: Shrimp
E: None of the above

6. Of the four main consoles available during the sixth generation of video game consoles, which one had the lowest sales?

HIR what do you consider a continent? The definition of continent is not very clear and varies from person to person. Is Europe a continent? Is Oceania a continent? Is Central America a continent?

Quote: CommanderGame

HIR what do you consider a continent? The definition of continent is not very clear and varies from person to person. Is Europe a continent? Is Oceania a continent? Is Central America a continent?

I'd imagine he means the 7 continents: North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and Antarctica.

That's really ambiguous. Why are Europe and Asia seperate continents, when there's nothing that separates them? Why would Antarctica be a continent and not say, Greenland? What about Australia than? How about Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, are those Asia? And New Zealand?
IMO it should either have been a multiple choice question, or not have been a question at all.

The 7 classic continents considered by the United Nations (and taught in American grade schools) are what I'm referring to. If the answer was going to be something ridiculous like Oceania or Central America do you really think I would've asked that question and not given a hint? <.<

The challenge has ended! gillgrunt987 wins immunity!
Day 4 Results

If you suspect some of the scores seem off you can bet that there are moves and abilities in play.

Also, no flavor text for this one, not that anyone seems to care. ;~;

It is now Night 4!
Please submit your vote for a player to eliminate from the game, along with any moves you wish to use, by PM. Several of you have reported to me you are on vacation at the moment, so in order to be eliminated a player will need at least 5 votes. In the event no one reaches this amount, we will vote again using the 2 players who received the most votes. In addition, any votes for gillgrunt987 will count as a vote for yourself.

As a preview, the next challenge will blind you with SCIENCE! You may want to put on your chemistry lab goggles. ^.^;

I read your FT HIR-senpai. D: I just usually wait until the day is completed, then read the whole day & night back to back.

Survivor is back? I missed a lot!

The 1st round of voting is now closed!
And 1 player reached the 5 vote minimum (just barely). They certainly won't be happy, but those are the breaks. Results will be incoming.

Chapter 4, Night

Palkia, the leader of Team Lustrous, has been eliminated from the game!
Dialga has upgraded!
15 players remain

Chapter 5, Day

It is now Day 5!
The story so far: Thinking Giratina to be behind Palkia's death, both Team Lustrous and Team Adamant have fled to the Kalos Power Plant in order to recharge. But it looks like some mangy bug has beaten them to the punch! Could he be allied with the Nihilists? Doesn't matter, because you've got to escape less you get blown to bits like Palkia did!

For today's challenge...
ENERGIZE!
Our bodies need energy for everything. LIEK ANSWERING TRIVIA QUESTIONS HURR DURR! *brick'd* Okay, okay, but in all seriousness, there is a fine elegance to the multitude of processes that interconnect to provide us energy. So let's put on our scientists hats for some energetic questions all about energy! Don't fret... most of them are multiple choice, so even if you slept through your chemistry and biology classes, you still have a shot here.

SCORING: 1 point for each correct answer, 0 points for each incorrect answer, -0.5 points for skipped questions. The BONUS is worth 2 points. Highest score wins! And please, for the love of Arceus, do NOT pick Option X for any multiple choice questions. ;>.>

A: Carbs
B: Fats
C: Proteins
D: Vitamins
E: None of the Above

2. True or False: Your heart muscle relies on fatty acids for most of its energy supply.

3. You’re in the middle of an INTENSE WORKOUT (maybe Secret Super Training) and your breathing is labored. Which process will your muscles rely on for energy?
A: Glycolysis

C: Oxidative Phosphorylation
D: Gluconeogenesis
E: Lactic acid fermentation

4. Which of the following types of chemical reactions is primarily used by cells to create the electrochemical gradient needed to make lots of ATP (energy)?
A: Single-replacement reactions
B: Double-replacement reactions
C: Neutralization reaction (Acid/Base reaction)
D: Redox reaction
X: A Fine Bros “Reacts” video

5. True or False: The electron carrier molecule NAD is derived from riboflavin (Vitamin B-2).

6. The process of beta oxidation makes a molecule of acetyl-CoA for every 2 carbon atoms in a fatty acid chain. If you have a 6-carbon fatty acid, how many acetyl-CoA’s will you make?

7. The 7th step of the Krebs Cycle involves the formation of a molecule called malate from a molecule called fumurate. Which enzyme do you think helps do this?

A: Glucose
B: Fructose
C: Lactose

9. If you have Type-I Diabetes, your body is unable to produce insulin, which helps cells take in glucose from the blood. Which energy-making process would decrease in someone with untreated Type-I Diabetes?
A: Oxidative Phosphorylation
B: Glycolysis
C: Beta Oxidation
D: Ketolysis
X: All of these are wrong. Type-I Diabetics actually make so much energy their bodies don’t know what to do with it all so they just explode!

10. True or False: Red Blood Cells rely solely on glucose for their energy needs.

BONUS: Proteins are made up of various combinations of amino acids. How many amino acids are there? (Hint: These are not the same as vitamins!)

lol yeah I was palkia
Oh and HIR the don't know who's who thing sounds fun on paper, but when you don't even know who your own teammates are, it feels way to luck based. It's pretty much impossible to know who's who until much further into the game. But oh well, I wasn't being that active/good anyways.

Only have 5 responses so far. Sheesh. >.>

I'm sure a couple of people (myself included) haven't taken any health classes or don't have the stomach for health classes.

Challenge over!
First off, xXBeavcoonXx has been temporarily possessed by Will171717. All the answers and data will still use his name, but Will's the one sending everything in. Anyhow...

Day 5 Results

gillgrunt987 wins immunity! Whoa... Deja vu.

It is now Night 5! Another Double Elimination Night!
Due to HIR's rapidly declining health (huzzah) we're going to have to speed things up a bit. All moves and abilities are locked this evening. You will submit 2 votes, each for a different player you want to eliminate, by PM. Can't vote for gillgrunt987 or else you'll vote for yourself. The players with the 2 highest amount of votes will be eliminated, provided they get at least 5 votes each. If no one reaches that amount, we will re-vote with your options limited to the 3 players with the most votes.

Yes I am sir, and I'm about to have the time of my ****ing life trying to get gillgrunt987 out of this topic

I've also heard he's a scrub, hopefully the remaning Survivor players can terminate him quickly in round 6, otherwise he'll be back being a l33t h4x0r 1n t1hs gam3.

Hey, it's not my fault that I've never taken health classes. OR IS IT? Dun dun dun…

The 1st round of voting is closed!
While 1 player got well over the number of votes needed, a 2nd player did not. Based on the tiebreaker determined by your leaders, we will be doing a re-vote. Please send in 1 vote for either Dmcrocks or slambam104 by PM.

Hope you feel better soon, HIR-senapi.

Not to be rude, but it's been a week since the last update. I was wondering if this will be continued.

Get well soon, HIR!

Get well soon!
