Extinction Island Ep. 5

***Extinction Island Ep. 5*** is the fourth episode of *Survivor: Extinction Island*.

On day 13 it was announced that there would be a tribe swap. Ryan Teddy went live and spun a wheel with each of the castaways names and alternating what tribe they would be placed on. Watch the live tribe swap below.

Each of your match-ups will consist of 10 moves. The moves are **Attack, Defend, Balance**. Depending on yours and your opponents move you will either gain or lose a point.

The person who earns the most points after 10 moves will earn a point for their tribe. The tribe with the most points will earn Reward!

***Designing Dinosaurs*** - Together you are going to Design Your Own Survivor ORG!

This challenge will be broken down into five different judging classes. Each of these will be judged by a group of Tumblr Survivor hosts, players, and legends we believe are trust-worthy and who share an unbiased opinion. Judges will rank each category on a scale of 1-5. We will not disclose which tribe made which ORG to any of the judges to ensure fairness.

Long story short, there are 5 categories you’ll be judged on. I’ll give them the in-depth explanation later on in this post.

Theme
Twist
Logo
Blog Design
Challenge
Theme:
For the theme we aren’t looking for something as simple as “Survivor: Redemption Island” or “Scooby Doo’s Mystery Manor” - been there done that! We’re looking for a fully realized location + theme that will tie your entire game together into something truly unique and unlike anything else on the ol’ world wide web.

You will create a “marooning” post on your board which will properly explain and outline your theme as though it were a pitch. Show us your theme through your wording and explanations, include whatever you see fit to properly portray

**Twist:**

No game is complete without a twist. Does your twist ultimately have to shift the entire gameplay of the season? No! Of course not! But it should be something fully actualized and interesting that would pique a super duper fan’s attention. You can make more than one twist if you think it will be helpful, but ultimately you will be judged on the overall quality, not quantity of what you produce in this section.

You will create a twist post on your blog that will explain the entire twist, it’s dynamics. Anything that may or may not be shown to the players. You may present it in any way. If there are details that won’t be told to the players initially.

**Logo:**

No game is complete without a logo. It’s what ties the season together and ultimately what you use to advertise your game. You can do whatever you want for your logo. Of course, we’re looking for creativity, a new design, something that represents your board, your theme, and your season. We, of course, will also be reverse searching for your logo to ultimately ensure you didn’t just take it off some survivor fan site.

**Blog Design:**

Each tribe also needs to design their own Tumblr blog. Give us a design and layout that helps tell the story of your season and twist. Does your colour palette work with your graphics? Is everything different sizes? Does your logo not match your graphics, match your blog, match your twist, match your theme? Is everything not connected at all? Does your outfit clash? You all may work on different parts of this challenge, but we want it all to work under one collection, one game. Think project runway group challenge, we should be made to think this was all by one team of designers, and not a bunch of individuals.

Photoshop mastery will be less important than the ideas and intention behind the work - good graphics design helps but a great idea implemented only okay will beat a bad idea done well any day.

**Challenge:**

You will create a challenge.You must create a new ORG challenge. You may adapt a challenge you’ve seen on a reality show to the org platform, but it must be a new challenge.

You will post all of the instructions to the challenge, including the banner, a write-up, and any elements of the challenge that must be explained. If there is a write-up for a host to read to the player, including any graphics or aspects given to the players during the challenge, you will include these in a post so we gather the entirety of the production of said challenge.

We recommend having a solid write up presenting everything you intend to show us. Make sure we see all the detailed work you put in. It’s up to you to present to us your ideas and your thoughts in any way you see fit. We shouldn’t have to go looking, and I assume most judges won’t look at what’s not highlighted to them. Sell us on your new platform.
