survivor: djibouti
my friend sahar is starting a new online survivor. read below & join if interested.
I am looking for 16 brave contestants to rough it out here in Djibouti and compete to outwit, outplay, and outlast the other players. The 16 contestants will be split up into 2 different tribes and will have to work together each week to ensure safety for themselves and their tribemates.
Although I don't expect you to be online ALL the time, you will need to devote a considerable amount of time to this game. To succeed you must be able to communicate to your tribe mates through e-mail and or instant messenger. Each week I will be sending an email challenge. I will give both tribes between 24 and 48 hours (depending on the challenge) to complete the challenge. Whoever wins the challenge that week, wins immunity. Every other week I will hold reward challenges, the winners of those challenges gets special treats that i cannot disclose at this point.
Expect this to be a light hearted game. You will meet new people, make new friends, create alliances, and hopefully have a lot of fun. But you may also make enemies, get into verbal fights, get stabbed in the back. One word of advice before you do join, do not take this game personally. I hope everybody is serious enough that they want to play and win, but I hope not too serious that they can't enjoy it.
To apply for the game, please e-mail [email protected] and I will send you an application and further instructions.
