Fuuuuuuuuck, Tribe Switch

is the fourth episode of Survivor: Atlas Mountains.
==Story==
==Day Nine==
===The Swap===
All three tribes are brought in to the challenge area with a nice little challenge set up. A few people look disappointed as Nifty addresses the crowd.
* Nifty: Before we go on, Mitch, Ryo, please hand me back the immunity idols. Immunity is back up for grabs! Except...you won’t be competing for it today.
Everyone looks around, mouths wide open in shock. There are some faces of shock, others of excitement. Killer specifically looks heavily relieved and quickly throws his Maghreb buff onto the ground.
On the New Amizmiz Tribe is Brady, FatFam, JoeyK, Killer, and Ryo.
On the New Toubkal Tribe is Billy, Dim, Jermu, Miko, and Zoe.
And on the New Maghreb Tribe is Blue, Bocetuda, Dark, Gabe, and Mitch.
The new tribes, primarily pessimistic about how things may play out, all went back to their new camps to get reacquainted.
===Amizmiz===
* Ryo: Hey there guys! New tribe, let’s kill it out there.
* Killer: hello I’m finally off that stupid tribe
* JoeyK: Interesting tribe swap, 3 tribes. Which means either merge at 13 or another swap
* Killer: 1 Maghreb, 1 Toubkal and 3 from Amizmiz not scary at all
* JoeyK: We’re not that scary. Trust us lol
* Killer: so what is the felling of winning like?
* JoeyK: Boring, u r safe but there’s nothing to do
After a little more small talk at the beach, Ryo pulls Killer aside and tells everyone else they’re going to explore the campsite a bit. Once away from the rest of the tribe, Killer and Ryo both agree that they are likely on the outs of this new tribe and need to stick together, as well as work to find a crack within the present Amizmiz.
JoeyK sees the two of them go off and quickly realizes what the two of them are thinking. Not wanting to get turned on, he takes the initiative to go over and talk to them himself. JoeyK tells them that Brady was on the outs of original Amizmiz for laziness and lack of participation, and that they could be safe if they paired up with him and FatFam to vote out Brady.
Ryo and Killer agree, and they get FatFam over to shake hands on the deal. Afterwards, JoeyK pulls FatFam aside and they both agree that if either of them seems especially threatening, then they should vote one of them out and stick with Brady.
Brady, meanwhile, is sitting alone by the campfire. He’s up and awake for once, and he’s nervous that everyone else is out talking to each other while nobody’s talking to him. Killer returns to camp, notices him, then does some quick thinking. He walks up to Brady and tells him about the group of four made against him, but that Ryo could flip over with them to vote out one of JoeyK and FatFam if they went to tribal. Brady starts worrying, but calmly agrees with Killer’s plan. 
Brady then goes up to JoeyK and tries to feel out their bond, as Brady trusted JoeyK enough to tell him about The Hiker’s Trail in private. Brady asks if there is a plan to turn against him, and JoeyK calmly assures Brady that he isn’t on the outs and that the three Amizmiz will stay tight for sure. All of this confuses Brady, who doesn’t know who’s telling the truth and who’s lying.
Killer finally brings Ryo into the fold on the plan to side with Brady instead, and Ryo hesitantly agrees to it. He doesn’t like the idea, but there isn’t much he can do against it as Killer already put the plan in motion. Besides, the idea interests him.
Ryo, Killer, and Brady meet together near the water hole to clear things up between each other.
* Brady: im at this point where , im gonna need a screenshot for proof and risk a strike.. for any proof i can have on whos lying or not
* Killer: this is the only alliance chat I have
* Brady: i thought there was another one
* Killer: I ain't in it
* Ryo: I’m in the other chat, but I’m still weighing my options here :p All of this is really sudden and I’m in class rn haha
* Killer: I feel like if you go with that other alliance you would be on the bottom
* Ryo: Brady, how come you want to turn on Amizmiz?
* Brady: uh bc they are against me
* Ryo: I’m just wondering, im trying to consider my options haha
* Brady: from what im hearing , u guys 4 are supposed to be against me and im saying this: i got no one rm, but killer is nice enough to look out for me. if im gone , ik we are gonna face a big loss in challenges. they got bily , and hes good. but atm, for ur game u need to strengthen ur numbers bc when im out its either you or killer and when the other is gone , we know whos gone next. they are a pair , no one on our tribe has an alliance like that. so if we take them out , it greater all of our odds to making it to merge , having a big move , and ensures that we have the numbers.
* Ryo: that sounds assuring, but i dont know, i feel like i dont have enough info. what were fam and joey like on old amizmiz?
* Brady: idk have any info too except the words of killer thats the point. they were always making decisions together , like who to send to the hiker trail.. and who to sit out every decision they werer 100% together on
* Ryo: who were you with in old amizmiz?
* Brady: no one lol. jeremeu kind of. i never really had to make alliances bc i never lost
The group breaks up and the tribe all hang out with one another for the rest of the day, but from then on a constant tension lingers throughout the thin mountain air around them.
===Toubkal===
The new tribe gathers around and gets to know each other a little.
* Billy: Hey there guys
* Miko: toubkal ftw
* Dim: heyy
* Jermu: Let’s go guys!
* Billy: So how’s life?
* Miko: ouch idk is expect the maghreb tribe to keep losing xp
* Dim: Blue never competed in any of the challenges so like he’s probably gonna be a liability for them
* Billy: Sounds rough.
* Zoe: Heyyy it is so different being here. Especially not being on a tribe that is probably cursed.
As Zoe talks, the other four perk up and look around. They quickly realize they naturally stood by their tribe divisions--Miko and Dim standing on one side, Billy and Jermu on the other with Zoe standing between the two groups.
While Dim is a little more open towards working with Zoe, Miko sees Zoe as more of a Maghreb tribe member who lost challenges constantly than a potential ally, and one that is more likely to target the two former Amizmiz than him and Dim.
Billy and Jermu, however, both see the potential in aligning with Zoe. Once the camp splits up a bit more, they make sure to bring Zoe aside to talk with them first to secure an alliance with her quickly.
* Billy: Jermu, meet Zoe, Zoe meet Jermu. Jermu's like the one person I actually know outside of the game.
* Jermu: I honestly am so happy to be in a same tribe with you 2
* Zoe: Same, it is so awesome
* Billy: So do we want to come up with an alliance name 
* Zoe: #CoolKidsClub
* Billy: And there we go
* Zoe: Yesss maybe I can finally win a challenge
* Jermu: I was lowkey rooting for you all the time
* Billy: I felt bad for your old tribe ngl. Like, what was going on over there? You guys almost had the Trivia one
* Zoe: Yeah I am happy with myself though. I was the only girl and I have made it far.
Zoe goes into detail about the previous tribal, how it was tied 2-2 then had a 2-0 revote where Duke left. Jermu and Billy are amazed at how much division occurred on such a small tribe.
* Zoe: Any of you went in the hiking trail? I did.
* Billy: I didn't get the Hiking Trail no. I didn't even hear anyone talk about it in my Tribe. Although I had my suspicions that Brady or Fatfam might have gone.
* Zoe: Which tribe were you in?
* Billy: Amizmiz, pretty sure you guys picked us for one of them
* Zoe: Oh we chose Joey
* Jermu: Okay
* Billy: Really
* Zoe: Yeah
* Billy: Wow, Joey's been lying to me then
Zoe goes on to describe, in detail, her trip on the trail. Everything she did and found, as well as all the places she figured out JoeyK went. When she mentions the old man and the riddle, Billy becomes intrigued.
* Billy: Can you show me the riddle? I might be able to help.
* Zoe: “Aynas, Asinas, Akras. Aska?” I have no clue what it was about
* Billy: No idea either. Maybe there's something on the trail that gives a clue to it?
* Zoe: yeah I just thought it would be helpful
===Maghreb===
At the new Maghreb tribe, everyone provides basic greetings...and then just kind of...goes quiet. Everyone is disappointed to be swapped onto the cursed tribe, and it seems whatever curse lingers over the air is affecting their sociability.
Gabe, the only one from Maghreb to stay on the tribe, still realizes that the game is still rolling and that he needs to act if he’s going to survive--both to secure his spot on the new tribe, and also to motivate people so that Maghreb can finally win an immunity. Gabe goes up to Mitch, the other non-Toubkal on the tribe, and strikes up a plan.
Gabe then gets Bocetuda’s attention and they meet up with Mitch at a nearby waterfall.
* Gabe: hey guys I think we can form a great majority are you guys down?
* Mitch: I am
* Gabe: Bocetuda???
* Bocetuda: I am
* Mitch: Great :D
==Day Ten==
===Amizmiz===
The next day, things are eerily quiet in comparison to the chaotic day before. Ryo sits by the campfire, worried about the silence and how they’ll perform at the immunity challenge later that day.
He decides to get up and walk around camp to see what everyone’s doing. He sees JoeyK messing around with a map of some sort, FatFam climbing up rock walls for fun, Brady sleeping in the shelter, and Killer doing various exercises near a cliffside. Ryo goes up to Killer and asks what he’s doing, and Killer responds that he’s making sure he’s strong and ready for the next challenge as he wants to avoid tribal for once. Ryo joins him for the rest of the day.
===Immunity Challenge===
All the tribes gather around for their first immunity challenge as swapped tribes.
* Nifty: With your newly swapped tribe, you are taking one big and possibly rough step in your journey up the mountain that is Survivor. Both this swap and climbing have a lot in common. You have to adjust to the new environments as you travel further, you have to be ready for unexpected events as you go along, and you’re always at the mercy of the elements around you. However, just like climbing up a mountain, Survivor is a game that anyone can conquer with enough effort and dedication.
Nifty steps aside to and gestures to the large, steep rock wall behind him.
* Nifty: Today, your challenge will be GIRP. It is a game very similar to QWOP, the main difference being that you are ascending a mountain instead of trying to run on a track. The total climb in this game is 72 meters.
JoeyK looks a little confused at the mention of meters, but doesn’t say anything.
* Nifty: The two tribes with the highest combined climbing distance will win immunity and be safe from tribal council. Losing tribe will join me at tribal council, where one of you will become the fourth person to leave this game.
The tribes all take their positions and, as soon as the challenge begins, all start climbing as high as they can. Dark, Brady, Killer, and Zoe all struggle to find solid grips early on, so they all abstain from the challenge. Bocetuda makes it 8.2 meters before missing a grip and falling. FatFam looks steady, but falls at 10.6 meters after gripping onto a darker rock caused him to fall. Blue also drops early at 11.2, and Gabe a little later at 17.2.
The challenge continues and more people fall off the rock wall, but two people manage to make the entire climb all the way up: Ryo and Miko. The two former Toubkal members, now separated by the swap, smile and high-five each other at their accomplishment. After that, everyone climbs back down and Nifty reveals the results. In first place is Toubkal with a combined 195 meters climbed, and in second is Amizmiz with 147.3 meters.
This meant that Maghreb, with only 57.2 total meters climbed, were heading to tribal council once again. Everyone from Maghreb looks worried, except for Gabe despite this being his fourth tribal in a row. Everyone picks up their stuff and heads back to their camps.
Challenge 6: GIRP 	Challenge 6: GIRP
TribePlacement 	Tribe Members
1st: Toubkal(195 Meters) 	Billy, Dim, Jermu, Miko, Zoe

==Day Eleven==
===Toubkal===
The Toubkal tribe return to camp and everyone is excited to have won. However, with a swapped tribe going to tribal, many people have a vested interest and speculations about this tribal’s outcome.
===Maghreb===
Gabe, not scared by the prospect of Tribal Council anymore, gets straight into business and meets up with his alliance with Mitch and Bocetuda almost immediately.
* Gabe: We are voting Blue or Dark, who do you two think is the bigger threat?
* Mitch: Bocetuda what do you know about them? Or just go for Dark because he sat out?
* Bocetuda: I think Dark is the biggest threat. He was very influent in Toubkal. Lets cut him off.
* Mitch: Tbh... I can tell you that Billy who plays in a lot of ORGs told us we needed to get rid of Dark ASAP. Apparently he gets to the end... alot
* Bocetuda: Let´s get some bitches out of the game.
* Gabe: Bocetuda, also make sure you´re making them think you´re with them
* Bocetuda: Okay
Afterwards, Dark approaches Mitch and the two talk. Quite a lot, actually. So much so that Dark actually feels like he’s bonding heavily with Mitch. Dark decides to propose an alliance to Mitch.
* Dark: Would you mind if I told you what I'd feel happiest with in an alliance?
* Mitch: Sure
* Dark: Okay. So obv this is survivor, but I'll admit I'm an emotionally driven person. Really what I want in an alliance is honesty (as far as that can really go in survivor xD) however, if your game isn't that, I don't encourage you to change that, I just want a realistic set of expectations for the future. Does that sound silly xD Idk, that's just what I'm thinking.
* Mitch: Yeah no of course. This is actually my first ever Survivor ORG haha, I would love to play with honesty. Is there anything specifically you want to know?
* Dark: Well, the easy stuff is already there in my opinion. I guess the most difficult question I can offer is this. If it comes to it, would you be willing to tell me if I was on the chopping block?
* Mitch: Yes. And to prove it to you, I can tell you Gabe wants to target you. Now I hope you can repay that trust by keeping that our secret I told you.
* Dark: Well duh xD I'll be a kind sir to you as well. Piesarereally cool (I think aka blue) wants to vote you, keep that a secreto as well?
* Mitch: Yeah I will don't worry
* Dark: yeet :3 Is there a specific reason why gabe wants to target me?
* Mitch: Only because you didn't submit
* Dark: ah, yeh. My fault I guess.
Mitch, worried about being targeted by Blue, approaches Blue to talk about this more.
* Mitch: Hey who you voting?
* Blue: Im voting dark. Who are u voting?
* Mitch: I can vote Dark
* Blue: cool
A little later, Blue goes to Dark and Gabe and tries to make an alliance between the three of them. Dark relays this info back to Mitch, who gets even more confused by what all is going on.
==Tribal Council==
The new Maghreb tribe walks into tribal council with their torches.
* Nifty: Blue, Bocetuda, Dark, Mitch, please take your torches and dip them in the fire. As you all know, in this game fire represents your life. Once your flame is gone, so are you.
The four all dip their torches in the fire as Gabe sits down and watches.
* Nifty: Before we vote, a few questions. Blue, this is your first tribal council ever. Are you nervous about being here for the first time in this game?
* Blue: ugh im so worry
* Nifty: Gabe, this is your fourth time at tribal council in a row. Does going to tribal council so many times make things worse for you, or are you more comfortable coming to tribal council after having been here so many times already?
* Gabe: Dear Nifty, going to Tribal is now part of my routine, so I´m kinda getting used to it ;)
* Nifty: Dark, do you think the Maghreb tribe is cursed or just unlucky?
* Dark: Nah, I don't think the magreb tribe is cursed. Gabe is good at challenges from what we've seen from him, and I really feel like his team members weren't putting in their all. However, everyone here definitely put in their all, and I owe them thanks for covering my ass, even if they only covered the crack xD
* Nifty: Mitch, you are the only person from the Amizmiz tribe on this newly-swapped Maghreb tribe. Do you think that's a good thing, or a bad thing, or something in between, and why?
* Mitch: I think its a good thing because I had no allegiance to anyone on my other tribe, and I knew I was on the bottom despite my challenge performance. I'm happy I'm here because I can speak to new people.
With that, it is time to vote. Bocetuda, you’re up first.
Bocetuda walks up to the urn. His vote remains hidden.
Gabe walks up, writes his vote, and quietly puts it in the urn.
Blue goes up and writes down Mitch’s name on the parchment.
Dark is up next, and he writes down Bocetuda’s name.
Dark sits back down and Mitch is the final person up. He looks behind him nervously, writes down his vote, folds it up, then places it into the urn and sits back down.
* Nifty: I’ll tally the votes.
Nifty goes over to the urn and brings it over.
* Nifty: If anyone has a hidden immunity idol and would like to play it, now would be the time to do so.
No one stands.
* Nifty: Very well. I’ll read the votes, then.
First vote...Mitch.
Second vote...Dark.
Third vote, Bocetuda. That’s one vote each for Mitch, Dark, and Bocetuda.
Fourth vote…
Dark. Two votes Dark, one Mitch and one Bocetuda. One vote left.
Final vote…
...and the fourth person voted out of Survivor: Atlas Mountains, Dark. 
* Nifty: Please bring me your torch.
Blue looks confused and looks around at his tribemates. Dark looks shocked, then heavily saddened as he glances at Mitch. Mitch apologizes, and Dark doesn’t say much else as he gets up and places down the torch.
* Nifty: Dark, the tribe has spoken.
Nifty snuffs Dark’s torch.
* Nifty: Time for you to go.
Dark walks away, hands in pockets and head looking down.
* Nifty: Well! It looks like this vote went through a bit of chaos to get to a majority result, but even then, it seems like not everyone on this tribe was on the same page. Hopefully you can unify yourselves by the time the next immunity rolls around, or I might be seeing you here again next time. Head on out for now. G’night.
