Survivor is a long and complex game, and there's no telling what the future will hold. No telling, that is, unless you consult the Oracle. I asked her which players had the best chance of advancing, and she told me that two of the tribes will be going to Tribal Council tonight. This pretty much matches what I was thinking, but it's nice to have divine confirmation.

Of course, a lot of scientists nowadays think that the Oracle wasn't divine at all, but was simply high on fumes that came from the ground underneath the temple. That's nonsense, of course; I've spent two paragraphs talking to you all and I don't sense anything wrong at all.

Anyhoo, for this challenge you are going to be playing this Flash game. When you achieve a score you are happy with, take a screenshot of your score, upload to Imgur, and post it in your confessional. A TAB CONTAINING THE SURVIVOR CIV FORUMS MUST BE VISIBLE IN YOUR SCREENSHOT! The two tribes with the highest collective scores will win immunity, and will attend Tribal Council as participants as the other two tribes vote out two more players.

If you have any questions, ask them here. Good luck, and try not to get too high off of those fumes!

Europe and The Americas have elected to sit out Boudica and Justinian, respectively.

Not sure. Are they exactly the same game?

And now that I think about it, I'm not sure how one would get a screenshot that also includes the Survivor tab.

I'm gonna say no unless I hear a really good argument to convince me otherwise.

Have both tabs on one window, command + shift + 4 at the same time, let go, then click and drag what you want to screen shot. That's for apple though. Not sure if it's the same for Microsoft.

edit: Ohhhhh didn't read that close enough...yeah not sure for a phone...

Screen shot of the app and the website in the fancy app tabs? I'm not really sure how to explain it so I hope you know what I mean

Well, it looks like the free app is actually for the game's sequel. But fine, if people want to spend $.99 I guess go for it.

HOW TO POST A SCREENSHOT

After you are happy with your score, press the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard.

Open up MSPaint or a similar program. Press Ctrl + V to paste the screenshot in. Now is an excellent time to crop the picture so it's not huge.

Anyhoo, save the picture to your computer.

Open up your browser and go to imgur.com and click the "Computer" button under "Upload Images". Select the file you saved earlier.

You will be given a bunch of links. Find the one that mentions BBCode for forums and copy it. It should be bookended with "[IMG]" tags.

Copy that, and paste it into a new post in your confessional.
