Welcome to Day 9 Spies! Henchy has left us. It is official, this game is a sausage-fest. I hope you're all happy! You losers drove her away! Shame on all of you! :argh:

The Rules:

Twenty four spies. Two tribes. One Survivor.

Each 'day' is marked by a new challenge. Days in this game can last anywhere from ten minutes to one week. Each tribe will receive team challenges (instructions for challenges will be explained for each challenge). Challenges can be anything from basic trivia, to various games, to photo editing competitions. Judgment and scoring of challenges will vary depending on the challenge and will be explained in the challenge PM. The tribe who wins the challenge will receive immunity. The tribe who loses the challenge will go to tribal council.

Tribal council is simple. Each player receives on vote, you vote out the person you want to remove from the game. Majority vote wins. Once you are voted out, you no longer play the game and for all intents and purposes lose. Ties at tribal council will be broken by special challenges.

At some point the tribes will be merged into one tribe. Only the hosts will know about this day until the time it actually comes. Once tribes merge, challenges will be played for individual immunity at tribal council. In other words, you’re on your own.

Hype! Survivor is a game of both strategy and deception. Alliances are both permitted, and encouraged. Masterminding and forethought are the keys to success. On a side note: alliances can be with any of the 26 players... doesn't matter who they are... doesn't matter what tribes they're on... just make sure it's someone you trust... or not. As the old saying goes: keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.

The final Jury will be composed of 7 people: everyone voted off from the remaining nine players who didn't make the finals. The Jury and only the Jury will vote FOR WHO THEY THINK SHOULD WIN of the final two remaining players to find the winner of the Hype! Survivor.

A note on cheating: It's very easy to cheat in this game. Very, very easy. Some of the rounds will be much more difficult to cheat at than others (some will be downright impossible to cheat on). Regardless, hosts have ways of catching you, and sometimes will even set up traps for you. If you feel you have to cheat in an internet game, by all means, go ahead... but if you're caught, you WILL be penalized. Again, specific rules of what's legal or not will be in each challenge PM.

This game will bring a couple new elements into the game. Firstly are reward challenges. Most challenges will include a built on side challenge that is entirely optional but winning it will give you or your tribe a reward of various types and sizes. These are separate from immunity challenges and are not required, but could be very useful.

This game will also feature the return of the hidden immunity idol. There is an immunity idol is hidden somewhere on the Hype. If you find it, it can be used in any tribal council prior to the revelation of votes. If you use it, you are safe from being voted out at that tribal council and all votes against you will be discarded. Once it is used, the user loses it and it will be hidden somewhere else on the Hype. It can be used any time until the final five tribal council. Once you’re in the final four, it is dead. Clues to the location will be the reward in alternating reward challenges. They will be given to your tribe captain and it is their choice as to whether or not they’d like to share them.

Starting with Day 2, Tribe Captains are to be announced in your tribe forum prior to the start of every challenge. They, and only they can submit your tribe’s official challenge submission. The same player cannot be captain twice in a row.

Once a submission is made in your tribe's forum or by PM, it is final. No editting of the submission or resubmission will be accepted, regardless of how much time remains until the deadline.


Finally, each tribe has a mole within it. This player is a double agent for the other tribe and will secretly vote in their tribe’s tribal council. For example, there is a member of the Black Tribe in the White Tribe. Despite being a member of the White Tribe and being able to be voted out of the White Tribe, they can secretly vote in the Black Tribe’s and only the Black Tribe’s tribal council. Likewise, there is a member of the White Tribe in Black and they have the same voting privileges. Now your job as a tribe is to root out this traitor and vote them out. If the spies make it to the merge, they will receive a HUGE clue as to the location of the hidden immunity idol as well as all other clues given up until that point.

These rules are subject to change at any time with absolutely no warning. They are more of guidelines for the game. Specific rules for each challenge will be issued via Challenge PM.

Assume everything is Eastern Time Zone.

So, we've got a fun challenge prepared for you today. Pretty difficult too by my measure, anyhow. This is what you guys get for *****ing. :cmad:

PMs will be sent shortly.
 
PMs are sent. You have until 2:30 PM est time on Monday.
 
Alright time is up, lets get some results!

Here were the clues:

1) To find General Fury, find his friend. How? Widen your gaze, but not two much.

2) Solid Snake is checking out the new kid on the block.

3) First they burn Michael Westen, now they're trying to send him somewhere hotter, all the way to hell.

4) Find the best of them all near his latest scandal.

5) Sam Fisher is getting too old for this ****.

6) Jason is being reBourne so he can rise again.

7) We all know John Casey has anger problems. He really doesn't seem to like anyone

8) Nina may be dead, but that doesn't mean she can't be found.

9) Ethan Hunt is doing the impossible and defying gravity

10) I hear MacGyver is in the city for which his organization is named. He better not be playing around!

And here are the answers and explanations:

1) Sherlock Holmes 2
http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=18254019&postcount=92

"Widen your gaze," was a reference to Blackwood's quote in Sherlock Holmes. The title character is played by Robert Downey Jr. Who of course played Tony Stark, Nick Fury's friend. The "two," was not a typo but a reference to Sherlock Holmes 2, where the Fury picture was hidden.

2) Alpha Protocol
http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=17188728&postcount=22

Alpha Protocol is a spy based video game. Solid Snake checking out the new kid on the block is a reference to our newest spy in the video game world.

3) Hellboy 3 - Roger & Lobster
http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=18268684&postcount=7

Michael Westen going to Hell, in the Hellboy thread.

4) Re: Daniel Craig aka '007' caught in bi-sexual scandal...
http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=18393224&postcount=182

Self explanitory, I think. Bond is the king of spies, thus the best of them all. Daniel Craig is James Bond. Scandal.

5) Lethal Weapon 5 Thread
http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=15718358&postcount=62

Again, self explanitory. "Fisher's getting too old for this ****." A play on Murtaugh's famous line, of course.

6) Should Jean Grey Return in X-Men 4?
http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=15784256&postcount=17

The phoenix is a creature that represents rebirth and rising again from ashes. Jean is the phoenix. Thus, Bourne was hidden in the thread about the Phoenix returning in X4.

7) Do you like Adam Sandler?
http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=12221865&postcount=52

Anger problems, a reference to the movie Anger Management being discussed in the post. Not liking anyone is a reference to the thread title, "do you like Adam Sandler?"

8) "The Walking Dead" developed by Frank Darabont and AMC
http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=17320237&postcount=11

Nina is dead but can still be found. Meaning she's is undead. Walking Dead thread.

9) Glee thread
http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=17815236&postcount=641

The post that announces Idina Menzel as Rachel's mom on Glee. Said actress sang Defying Gravity in Wicked.

10) 2009-2010 NBA Thread: Where Playoffs Happen
http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=18324409&postcount=6902

Post about the Phoenix Suns. Obviously the post about MacGyver's organization leads to Phoenix and "Not playing around," points to the play-offs part of the title.


Reward Clue:

11)My Name Is Bruce...direct to theaters!!!!!YES!
http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=10334105&postcount=11

Bruce Campbell played Jack Stiles, a Revolutionary War-era spy in Jack of All Trades. If you know his name, you can find the My Name is Bruce thread where a picture of Jack is waiting.
 
Alright, here are our results:

Black Tribe:

The Black Tribe gave a pathetic showing and only managed to find one picture, and that is 007.

No one on the Black Tribe found our reward spy.
 
The White Spies on the other hand...

WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY! BLACK SPIES WIN IMMUNITY!

Tribal Council PMs will be sent shortly.
 
The first american spy was Nathan Hale. This had me searching through Resistance threads. :csad:
 
Oh! Very clever! Still, Nathan Hale has nothing on The Daring Dragoon!
 
Well Squirrel, if you can't even bother to vote, there's only one thing to say after your unanimous vote out:

Next day will start when Hunter is ready.
 
Well Squirrel, if you can't even bother to vote, there's only one thing to say after your unanimous vote out:

Well maybe you can bother to host a more exciting game. :o

I haven't even been home all day, so whatever. This game was dull. :down
