Okay, maybe that's SOMEWHAT true. Here, you will be competing in TWO teams - one against the other. One team will win immunity and spend the night at Deception Valley. The other team will lose immunity and spend the night with me at Tribal Council.
Your teams are here, designated by RED TEAM: 1-7 and YELLOW TEAM: 8-14:
RED TEAM
Anthony
Angie
Brenda
Kenny
Penner
Shawna
Yau-Man
YELLOW TEAM
Ace
Alicia
Brianna
Chelsea
Courtney
Jen
Richard

I will be giving you your member groups shortly and giving y'all access to a secret board for planning.
Of course, what would be better than playing around a little with one of our series' most beloved and most beloathed challenges ever? Stealing the Jewels!
This one is, however, a bit different. Instead of waiting for X number of minutes, you have to make X number of posts as quickly as possible. You will need ten posts to get to the enemy's jewel cache, one post to grab the jewel, and 12 posts to get back. If at ANY time you're interrupted by someone on the other team, you will be caught. If you are interrupted by someone on your OWN team, you both will trip and fall and must get up. This makes it easier for the other team to tag you.
Of course, posting the items in question is very specific. The order goes like so:
[NAME] runs toward other team's jewels
[NAME] runs toward other team's jewels
[NAME] runs toward other team's jewels
[NAME] runs toward other team's jewels
[NAME] runs toward other team's jewels
[NAME] runs toward other team's jewels
[NAME] runs toward other team's jewels
[NAME] runs toward other team's jewels
[NAME] runs toward other team's jewels
[NAME] runs toward other team's jewels
[NAME] grabs a jewel
[NAME] runs back to base
[NAME] runs back to base
[NAME] runs back to base
[NAME] runs back to base
[NAME] runs back to base
[NAME] runs back to base
[NAME] runs back to base
[NAME] runs back to base
[NAME] runs back to base
[NAME] runs back to base
[NAME] arrives back at base
~~~
[NAME] places jewel [#] for [RED/YELLOW] team in bucket
You may NOT be interrupted after the ~~~ by the other team. Remember - only one person can go at a time. If ANY posts skip, then that can be bad news for you - they must be in this EXACT order. If they are not, then your jewel won't count.
If someone on your own team trips you, you BOTH can return to camp and start over by posting this chain:
[NAME] gets up
[NAME] gets up
[NAME] gets up
[NAME] gets up
[NAME] gets up
[NAME] gets up
[NAME] runs back to base*
*You will need to post this the number of times you have already run out there. So if you've posted "runs toward other team's jewels" five times, you'd post that you run back to base five times. You may NOT steal a jewel if you are tripped.
If someone on the OTHER team trips you, you'll be taken to jail. Unlike in "Stealing the Jewels," there is NO rescuing here. If you're in jail, you will stay there for FOUR HOURS. Meaning you're free to steal again four hours after the minute you were tripped. For example, if you were nabbed at 8:17, you'd be able to start stealing again at 12:17. If you are in jail, you may NOT try to steal anything OR catch someone on the other team. You're free to yell at people, but it won't interrupt anyone's chains.
One additional note: You may NOT use Chrome's Java-disable trick here. If I suspect you used it (aka you have 30+ "runs towards other team's jewels"), I will disqualify you from this challenge immediately and will award you with a nice self-vote at your next Tribal Council. That trick is NOT fair for this challenge and will make it IMPOSSIBLE for me to tally since it breaks the thread. I'm warning you right now. There's a reason why the posts are like this.
Obviously, since this is a different take on the challenge, the usual camouflaged text tricks aren't going to matter. Feel free to use them to taunt though!
Also - no deleting posts. Meaning if your order messes up or you do too many, oh well. Doing an extra run post won't hurt you except for the time it takes. If you delete a post, you will forfeit two jewels from your team and that will give them more reasons to vote your ass out.
The best player (most jewels stolen) on each team gets a free HII shard. The team that steals the most jewels in a day wins the challenge and ALL SEVEN will go to Deception and be immune for this round (this immunity is non-transferable). The losing team goes to Tribal Council and one of the seven will be voted out. HIGH stakes here, people!
EDIT: Due to Proboards difficulties, this challenge ends at 10 PM Eastern on Monday!
Another FYI - I will "Like" any jewel-stealing post I tally as legit and "Dislike" any that aren't counted. It's not bias or anything, only a way for me to keep track of what I have tallied.
All stealing is to be done in HERE! This rumble begins NOW and lasts for 24 hours! If you have questions, let me know! Survivors ready? GO!
