Come on in guys!
I hope you guys enjoyed your first night as your new tribes. So let's get to today's challenge:
F11 Immunity: Bear the Weight
Anyone get that from the treemail clue? Shame on you.
Here's how this is going to work: It's kind of a survivor tradition to have a challenge for endurance. And that's what we have here. Similar to last season, each tribe is going to have 3 people holding a pallet of bricks. The tribe with the last person standing wins immunity. Every day you will be adding 20 lbs of bricks to the other tribe in 5 lb increments onto whoever your tribe chooses. So for example, you could put 10 lbs on tribemember A, and 10 on tribemember B and 0 on tribemember C.
Everyone who is holding bricks starts with 100 energy and every day that energy drops depending on how much weight they are holding. They will know how much weight they are holding and how much energy they've lost. Additionally, once they have dropped to 0, they can augment their energy with their personal energy. There will be no penalty for doing this if you drop below 50. But once you've reached 0 you drop all your weight and you're out. Or you could drop it earlier. It's up to you.
You guys have also spent energy on this challenge.

There are 2 things you can do with this energy: Support your own tribemates or pile it on your opponents. The energy your tribe has spent can be used to help bolster you if you don't want to spend your own energy. Doesn't have you mean you're at 0 personal energy, you just have to ask your tribe and they'll decide if they want to spend some of their stores to help you. Finally, on any given day you can spend 5 of your tribe's spent energy to put 5 more pounds on the other tribe. You can spend a max of 15 energy in this way every day.
The energy required to hold weight is a function of the weight borne. Hint: It's not linear
Any questions, feel free to ask. I know this is one of the more complex challenges, so ask away.
Finally, this challenge costs no additional energy besides the energy those holding weight decide to spend. You have 48 hours to decide who is going to hold weight for your tribe.
