Your next immunity challenge is...

A Monocolor bo1 Round Robin Tournament.

Please schedule and finish all your matches within the next 48 hours (this post originally made on discord at 6PM EST, so 24 hours from then). Monocolor here means by the dexinfo color, not just you picking and choosing what color you think the mon is. For aesthetic reasons, no shinies allowed.

For the challenge, you may use different teams while fighting different opponents, but each team you use must be monocolor. Your different teams may be differently colored. If a mega stone changes the Pokemon's pokedex color, you may not use the mega stone as an item.

Build your teams for OU; all ubers banned.
 
Time for challenge 16... Survivor Memory Game

Don't worry, it's not about events from this season. Instead, it's a card memory game with half of the cards featuring photos of TV survivor contestants and half of the photos featuring their names. You will try to flip over the cards 2 at a time and match the photo to the contestant's name. Ping the hosts to play and they will drop you a link. From the moment the link is dropped in your confessionals until you send a completed screenshot of the game will be your time. Contestant with the fastest time wins individual immunity. No talking to other contestants about the challenge.

You have 24 hours to get the challenge done.
 
Welcome to Final Tribal Council. Here, the 3 finalists will start will opening statements, included below. From here on out, the jury and finalists will have a back and forth discussion that the jury will glean information from to help them making their decision while voting for a winner.


I won't accept any votes until 24 hours from now, and discussion will be open until Wednesday afternoon. I hope to announce the winner Wednesday evening before the premiere of CBS's Survivor 38: Edge of Extinction.

AJ's Opening Statement said:
Hey everyone! Before I start, I just want to reiterate - it’s been an absolute blast playing this game for the past 1 and a half months. It’s been everything I wanted and more, so I want to thank all of you (and the hosts!) for helping to make this experience possible. I also want to congratulate the other finalists on making it here. Drookez and Laurel, it’s been great working with you guys all game.

Oh yeah, also - in case OM didn’t tell you guys already, Drookez’s idol was mine. And I was the one who told him to play it on OM. This is important info for what I explain later!

When coming into this game, I had to examine my last game to see what my downfall was. This is what I concluded my strategy needed to be for this game:
a) Last game, I essentially talked only to my alliance, and only talked to them about game-related things. This game, I needed to up my social game a lot, and make sure I maintained relationships in case I needed people later.
b) Last game, I won too many challenges too early, and got a reputation as a challenge threat. I needed to make sure that didn’t stick with me going forward in this game.
c) Last game, people knew I had numbers. I was basically inseparable with Drookez and Hannah last game, so I had to separate myself enough from Drookez this game that people knew I would never betray him. Also, I had to make sure I had control without being the “leader” of any alliance I was in (or similarly, not the biggest threat left come late game). That would make me the primary target.



I think I played to my strategy almost perfectly:
a) I made sure to PM everyone come merge to at least get some basic conversation. As for maintaining relationships… Do you Fox members remember the ragmatho “blindside”? Well since I wanted to maintain relationships with MK and Shub, I told them two about the vote.
b) I didn’t try on a couple challenges not because I thought I didn’t have a chance, but because I didn’t want to win too many too early on into the merge. During the geoguessr challenge I was doing it for fun, and got a score of 24905 (only 9 below the winning score iirc). When I won the puzzle hunt challenge, I made sure to repeat that I won because it was because it was something I did before (which is definitely partially true, but I didn’t want anyone getting any ideas). I’m kind of happy Laurel beat me in that tiebreaker, because it’s one less challenge I won, haha.
c) Barring the vooper vote, and sort of the blue vote (I’ll get to this later), I was in control of the game. I’m proud that Drookez and I made it as far as we did considering after the first merge vote and RODAN’s quit, the fans-fumblers-favourites ratio was 5-5-2. But yeah, I managed to put myself into a favourable position this whole game regarding votes, and barring vooper (and OM’s vote to fumbler island lol), whoever I wanted to go home actually went home.

And as for separating myself from Drookez, I made sure to push the point that he was close with Cleo as far as I could. I don’t know if you guys noticed, but we actually voted together every vote except the Shub vote, where I was on OM like I said I’d be.

So yeah, that was my strategy this game. I think I have:
-the best strategic game of the F3, as explained before
-I probably take a close second in challenge side of the game (2500 hexagons, winning the puzzle challenge and puzzle hunt, along with a tiebreaker loss in one challenge and losing by 8 mins in F4)
-the best social game (Drookez, I’m sorry but you didn’t really talk to people much, and Laurel, I’ve really grown to like you this game, but you were definitely abrasive and provocative at times in tribal council).

Once again, gg to the other finalists and everyone else too. I’m really excited to answer your guys’ questions, so hit me with ‘em!

Drookez's Opening Statement said:
Good day, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you are doing well whether you are speedrunning, battling, playing mafia or just enjoying life in general. I would like to spend this time not to talk about me, but my fellow tribemates that made it to the final 3. Yes, that is Ajhockeystar and Laurel. Their speeches will probably be all brags, all about "how they deserve to win", how they turned fate around "against all odds", how they made the most "friends" blah blah blah. They only care about themselves, but that is to be expected when they are so high on their horses they can't even see the ground. Do you know that every time someone is eliminated from the game, these two always brag that it was "because of me our tribe won" and the person that died "was terrible". The arrogance! I was one of their puppet and was treated with abuse. All the dirty jobs were sent to me, so they can appear "clean" to the others. Yet, I never gave up. I pit them against each other, maintaining a balance of power that kept me alive. They lied straight in my face, yet I figured it all out due to my detective skills. No matter what, I persisted. They may think I'm just a pedestal so they can climb to victory, but THE GROUND IS CRUMBLING. Do you hear the sound? THE SHEEP IS REBELLING.

DO YOU WANT LIARS AND BRAGGERS TO WIN CIRCUS SURVIVOR 6??? THANK U, NEXT!!!

I represent everyone's hopes and dreams that no matter what, the sun shall shine bright in the end. My victory is your victory. #VOTE DROOKEZ #IWINWEALLWIN

Please use the thread to discuss FTC stuff, not discord. From here on out, talking about the game is banned anywhere except this thread for members of the jury/finalists.

Hey guys!! What was your favorite challenge this season? I liked the scavenger hunt the first time around, and the battles, but I wanna hear what you guys liked!

My favorite challenge was the RPG I got to play with you! Not only was that the first time we spoke with each other, but the ups and downs of the rolls were really exciting. I had never done anything like the sort, and I really enjoyed theorying about the best combination of characters with you and blue. My favorite part of our team had to be putting the defender in the back with magic touch, it didn't do much damage, but it could've been really cool if we had a different match up. While I enjoyed the challenge, I'm more glad that it started our friendship.

My second favorite challenge was the last jigsaw I had to do with the stick figures. It was really challenging and super rewarding when I managed to finish.
