S1: New Beginnings

S1 Logo

**Cumulative Immunity: New Beginnings**, known as **S1**, was the first season of Cumulative Immunity. New Beginnings was the first season of its kind, so it had no major twist. However, it did involve a few minor twists. Otter won the season, becoming the first winner in CI history.

## Episodes

### Ep. 1 - Anybody want to target someone?

```
Title Author - Lotion

```

In the very first Round of Cumulative Immunity, the CI challenge was Taking Risks. The challenge was won by Colin, using the strategy of picking 10 for all rounds. He scored 100 points, winning by 30.

During the round, the infamous Atlantis Alliance was created by phi and Heavan. It consisted of players of the ORG Survivor: Atlantis that had occurred on the server the month before. The only Atlantis veteran not added to the alliance was Mello.

Mello found the first ever Temperary Immunity, causing him to be safe for the round along with Colin.

Haleigh failed to submit for the challenge and was the only player to do so. This caused her to be the main target in that round's vote. She was eliminated by a tally of 15-2-1.

```
Eliminated - Haleigh

```

### Ep. 2 - I need to start some drama fast.

```
Title Author - Colin

```

In Round 2, the CI challenge was a slide puzzle. phi won by 3 seconds with a time of 135, Europe finished in 2nd.

Europe found Temperary Immunity in the round, making himself immune along with Colin and phi.

Pahee had hardly spoken in-game, but was targeted by the Atlantis Alliance for being a challenge threat. He was eliminated in a 12-2-1-1-1 vote.

```
Eliminated - Pahee

```

### Ep. 3 - I am my own best friend.

```
Title Author - Otter

```

Round 3's challenge was the Murder Mystery. Colin won by blind guessing himself as the murderer. Being already immune, Colin could either give away the immunity or discard it.

After the challenge ended, Otter asked Colin to give him immunity. Colin eventually did gift the immunity to Otter. His reasoning was - "*He was the only person who asked for it.*"

Jonny found Temperary Immunity in the round, meaning he was immune for the round along with Colin, phi and Otter.

The vote in Round 3 was a toss up. 7 of the 12 not immune players received votes, with Fact ultimately losing by a count of 5-4-2-2-1-1-1.

```
Eliminated - Fact

```

### Ep. 4 - Honestly, I don't know if you trust me anymore.

```
Title Author - Mello

```

Round 4's challenge was Sailing. Meter won the challenge because German accidentally gave away the winning strategy.

Jonny once again found Temperary Immunity, making Colin, phi, Otter, Meter and Jonny immune.

This vote marked the beginning of the end for the Atlantis Alliance. Otter and Mercury flipped on the alliance, eliminating Heavan in a 10-4-1 vote.

```
Eliminated - Heavan

```

### Ep. 5 - I took a bullet last round for you!

```
Title Author - Colin

```

The challenge for Round 5 was the infamous social challenge, 3 Lives. The winner of this challenge was Star.

Meter found Temperary Immunity and gave it to Mercury. This meant that Colin, phi, Otter, Meter, Star, and Mercury were immune.

This round saw another atlantian going home. Toad was eliminated in a 7-5-1-1 vote.

```
Eliminated - Toad

```

### Ep. 6 - Its annihilation was inevitable.

```
Title Author - Colin

```

Round 6's challenge was Bidding War. Colin won this third immunity in this challenge and gave it to Lotion.

Meter found Temperary Immunity and gave it to myworld, the least active contestant. This meant that Colin, phi, Otter, Meter, Star, Lotion and myworld were immune.

Koopa, the last member loyal to the Atlantis Alliance who was vulnerable, was eliminated in a 7-5-1 vote.

```
Eliminated - Koopa

```

### Ep. 7 - I am just flying right by everyone!

```
Title Author - Otter

```

Territory was the challenge for Round 7. phi won the challenge and gifted the immunity to myworld, much like Meter in Round 6.

Mercury found Temperary Immunity, making Colin, phi, Otter, Meter, Star, Lotion, myworld, and Mercury immune.

Ray, who was only being kept alive by his friend Koopa, was eliminated in a 7-3-1-1 vote.

```
Eliminated - Ray

```

### Ep. 8 - I have a pretty solid idea who the rat is.

```
Title Author - phi

```

Round 8's challenge was Deflect, Shield, Attack (DSA). Europe won the challenge, earning himself the final immunity of the cycle.

No Temperary Immunity was hidden as this was the last round of the immunity cycle.

For the vote, Colin, phi, Otter, Meter, Star, Lotion, myworld, and Europe were immune. This meant that the vote was only between 3 people: Jonny, Mercury, and Mello.

Out of the 3, Mello was eliminated in a 7-3-1 vote.

```
Eliminated - Mello

```

### Ep. 9 - We can have someone do our dirty work.

```
Title Author - Lotion

```

All immunity from the previous round was revoked in Round 9 as it was the start of a new immunity cycle. Additionally, the contestants were split into two groups this round.

Otter, Mercury, phi, myworld, and Lotion were on the black group with Europe, Meter, Jonny, Star, and Colin on the white group. Contestants on different groups could not contact each other.

The CI: Auction was the "challenge" for Round 9. Contestants were able to bid on various items in the auction, with immunity being very important. phi found Cumulative Immunity while Otter and Mercury bought Temperary Immunity.

This meant that phi, Otter, and Mercury were immune.

Round 9 was a historic round for the game. It was the first round to feature a tie vote. In this case, the tie was between Lotion and Colin. The vote was 3-3-2-1-1.

```
Eliminated - TBD

```

### Ep. 10 - He's playing both sides, and I don't like that.

```
Title Author - Colin

```

Round 10's challenge was Picture Perfect which Mercury steamrolled en route to immunity. This challenge was also used to break the tie between Lotion and Colin. Out of the two of them, whoever got the lowest score in the challenge would be eliminated. This procedure would be followed in the future for other tie votes.

Lotion did worse in the challenge and was eliminated. Despite playing during some of Round 10, Lotion was technically eliminated in the Round 9 vote, with the tie being broken in Round 10.

Temperary Immunity was not found, meaning that phi and Mercury were the only contestants immune.

Despite saving himself from the Round 9 elimination spot, Colin was eliminated in Round 10 in a 5-2-1-1 vote.

```
Eliminated - Lotion / Colin

```

### Ep. 11 - There's gonna be lots of arguments.

```
Title Author - Meter

```

Round 11's challenge was The Evolution of Trust. phi won the final round against Meter, but ended up giving Meter immunity anyway.

Europe found the Temperary Immunity, making phi, Mercury, Meter, and Europe immune.

Star was eliminated this round in a 5-3 vote.

```
Eliminated - Star

```

### Ep. 12 - My vote belong to you guys, anyway.

```
Title Author - phi

```

 Round 12's challenge was Touchy Subjects. Otter won the challenge and the final immunity of the cycle.

No Temperary Immunity was hidden this round or any round for the remainder of the game, meaning Europe, Jonny, and myworld were the only contestants up for elimination.

Meter used a vote vandal which he won at the auction to steal phi's vote and cast it against Jonny. This did not matter however, as Jonny was eliminated in a 4-2-1 vote.

```
Eliminated - Jonny

```

### Ep. 13 - Should we regroup the remains of the alliance?

```
Title Author - Meter

```

 Round 13 marked the beginning of the third cycle of the game. The groups were dissolved, all previous immunity was revoked, and the challenge was Minority Rules.

Meter and Europe were unable to compete in the challenge due to being in the minority group. phi won the challenge, making him the only person immune for the round.

With the remaining members of the black group having majority over the remaining members of the white group, and Europe being and ally of both Otter and Mercury, Meter was voted out in a simple 5-1 vote.

```
Eliminated - Meter

```

### Ep. 14 - You're just a goat being led to the slaughter.

```
Title Author - phi

```

 Round 14's challenge was CI:TWOW, where the players would have to roast one of their fellow remaining contestants.

phi won immunity by roasting myworld, the easy target at the time. He chose to give his immunity to Mercury in an attempt to sway him against Otter.

phi tried to get both Mercury and myworld to vote Otter, but Mercury voted myworld and myworld voted Europe, causing myworld himself to be eliminated in a 3-1-1 vote.

```
Eliminated - myworld

```

### Ep. 15 - I think being a floater is beneficial in this game.

```
Title Author - phi

```

 Round 15's challenge was Synonyms. It was the start of cycle four, and immunity was once again revoked.

As nobody was able to find the correct synonyms, Mercury won immunity in a tiebreak based on who was closest.

phi was vulnerable for the first time in 13 rounds, and was unsurprisingly unable to convince any of the other 3 not to vote him out, leading to his elimination in a 4-0 vote.

```
Eliminated - phi

```

### Ep. 16 - If one of us gets out, the other is gonna win.

```
Title Author - Mercury

```

 Round 16 was a very unique round as no challenge was held and none of the contestants were immune. Instead, the eliminated contestants would vote one of the remaining contestants out of the game, with the two surviving contestants moving on to the finale.

Despite Europe not doing much during the game and many of the eliminated contestants being angry with Otter, phi was exceptionally bitter towards Mercury. He convinced some of the other eliminated contestants to vote with him, leading to Mercury being eliminated in a close 6-5-3 vote.

```
Eliminated - Mercury

```

### Ep. 17 - Did we win yet?

```
Title Author - phi

```

 For the finale, Otter and Europe were both given the option to choose an eliminated contestant who they trusted to help them win the final challenge: Trivia.

Europe chose Mercury to assist him, and Otter chose phi.

In the end, phi's screenshots helped give Otter the information necessary to beat Europe.

Due to his victory in the finale, Otter was crowned the winner of Cumulative Immunity Season 1: New Beginnings, becoming the first ever winner of Cumulative Immunity.

```
Eliminated - Europe

```

## Twists

With New Beginnings being the first season of "CI", it didn't come with many large twists. However, it wasn't void of them either. Many of these "twists" that were tested in S1 have made their way into its successors.

**Group Split** - Created a few days before the debut of Cumulative Immunity, the Group Split was designed to cut off communication.

**F3 Eliminated Players Vote** - During the Round of the Final 3, all Eliminated players would cast a vote against a current player. The player receiving the most votes would be eliminated and the other 2 went onto the finale.

**Group Cumulative Immunity** - After the groups were disbanded, only the group with the most remaining members was allowed to compete in the next challenge.

## Items

**Vote Vandal** - Vote Vandal was sold at the auction. It allowed the winning bidder to steal the vote of the player who voted directly before them.

**Cross-Group Communication** - This item was sold at the auction. The winning bidder was allowed to create 1 alliance chat with a player from the opposite group.

## Season Summary

1- Colin won immunity, but gave it to this contestant.
