Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Survivor: Marzal

After pm-ing a couple teammates, I've submitted my answers.

So, maybe now I can look around this island a bit....

Hey, wait up for me Sketch! I wanna see you sketching pictures if you're doing that as well...

I found some sticks and I figured I'd draw in the sand. I'm not sure if many people remember that my LMBP superpower is that my sketches come to life for a short time. I've just never tried it with sand before. I wonder if the graininess will affect the stability of whatever I create?

I was just thinking I might need to draw a helicopter in the sand --- just in case... The thing is, I wonder if it would crumble, out over the middle of the ocean?

Well... one by one, the Survivors are emerging from the dense underbrush of the Spaceopoly forest, confident that their solution is the correct one.

At this time, 8 of our 12 contestants have checked in, with only Gamara, Floating Foxlike Creature, Fat Cramer, and Lance still on the hunt.

They have until 5PM tonight to make it out and submit their response via PM, at which point we'll see who wins reward... and who goes back to camp empty-handed.

** chitter chitter **

Less than six hours left, and three contestants are still "lost in the woods".

Gamara, Lance, and Fat Cramer opted not to bring a compass among their luxury items... and that might prove to be a serious strategic error...

With just about 200 minutes left, some contestants are beginning to second guess their answers, and in a mad scramble, start rearranging their clues...

I stand behind my wrong answers.

The first thing we have to do Sketchy is find a potable source of Soder Cola... er, I mean water.

And, then, I think I'm going to collect more wood. We'll need to keep this fire going just in case Gamara never finds it's way out of the forest.

Lance makes his way out of the forrest, pale as a ghost, and collapses, whispering, "The horror... the horror."

Yes, yes, Lance... but your answer?

"Oh, that?" he replies, "Yeah, that was the easy part." He gives his answer to Jeff Proty.


That leaves just Gamara and Cramer outstanding. Perhaps they were each flying over the forest and couldn't see it for all those trees.

I know FC was working on it. She might not have realized the time constraint.

Hmmm...this looks like a nice spot.



Ahhh! Time to work on the ol' tan!

Now there is one contestant that knows the meaning of the phrase, "Luxury Items"!

Yes, the key item here is my Magic Wand.

Fat Cramer in under the wire! About another 10 minutes for Gamara... then the tally!

Ahh, the hot springs. So nice to relax after completing the 1st challenge. Looks like nobody else has found this place. Fortunately, my implanted GPS chip has proven quite useful. Perhaps I'll invite my team mates to join me....

...3...2...1!

All right, Survivors, time's up! Let's see how you did...


This was a multi-part challenge, consisting first of finding the clues, then assembling them in the right order. Teamwork was an essential piece of this challenge, because though the task itself was rather mammoth, shared information would really shave off the amount of time needed to accomplish it.


First off: the location and ID of the clues:

- Assuming a 15 post per page layout, page 69 of the "Name Three" thread would have given you image 1 (from the cover of Legion of Super-Heroes v.2 #264 - 6/80) and a page later, on page 70, image 7 (from Valor #22 - 8/94)

- Page 39 of "the Amalgame" held image 2 (Legion of Super-Heroes v. 5 #15 - 4/06)

- "Song Titles - In Other Words" page 7 had image 3 (from the backup feature in Limited Collectors' Edition c-55 - 1978)

- "Triad" page 93 had both images 4 (Tyroc's entry in Who's Who in the DC Universe #24 - 2/87) and 8 (from the cover of All-New Collectors' Edition c-49 10-11/76)

- "The Parody Super-Hero Names Game" page 36 had images 5 (Legion of Super-Heroes v. 4 #16 - 3/91) and 9 (from the cover of Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes #218 - 7/76)

- Image 6 was on page 9 of "Legion World Clue!" (Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes #222 (12/76)

- and page 3 of "Legion by the Numbers" had image 10 (from Tyroc's first appearance in Superboy 216 - 4/76)





From there it was just a matter of putting them in order. To wit: 10, 9, 8, 6, 3, 1, 4, 5, 7, 2.


Lone Wolf Legionnaire was the first in with 10, 9, 8, 6, 3, 1, 4, 5, 7, 2. A perfect score!

Next was Lard Lad with 10, 9, 8, 6, 3, 1, 4, 5, 7, 2. Another ace!

Next Davey FairPlay (Language Arts Lad) said 10, 9, 8, 6, 3, 1, 4, 5, 7, 2. Do we have a sweep on our hands?

Well, no, because Quislet said 10, 3, 9, 8, 1, 6, 4, 7, 2, 5, only earning 5 points.

Next was Sketch Lad with 10, 9, 6, 8, 3, 1, 4, 5, 7, 2, earning 8 points... but wait... he looked again and rearranged it to 10, 9, 8, 6, 3, 4, 1, 5, 7, 2, correcting two answers but making two others incorrect... 8 it is!

Hot on his tail was Novelty saying, 10, 9, 6, 8, 3, 1, 4, 5, 7, 2. Another 8. Novelty had a great idea, and saved himself the entire front end of the challenge by backwards engineering my image naming convention and just pulling the images instead of seeking them out. Hey, all's fair in Survivor!

Then dedman with 9, 3, 6, 1, 8, 4, 10, 5, 7, 2. A possible random 3!

kenuastin nails a perfect score with 10, 9, 8, 6, 3, 1, 4, 5, 7, 2.

Floating Fox... like... Creature also gets a 10 with 10, 9, 8, 6, 3, 1, 4, 5, 7, 2.

Lance said 6, 1, 3, 10, 9, 8, 4, 2, 5, 7 and comes away with 1 lucky point

and Fat Cramer said 3, 10, 9, 8, 6, 7, 4, 5, 2, 7 but quickly realized she found 7 twice and replaced it with a 1, earning a 5.

Gamara held his own council and did not ring in.




So what does that mean? Well with two 8's, three 10's, and one abstaining, St'balla earns 46 points...

...and with two 10's, two 5's, a 3, and 1, N'hura earned 34 points.


<span style="font-size: 30px;">St'balla wins Reward!</span>


Congratulations, St'balla tribe! These flight rings are really going to help you out with the upcoming Immunity Challenge.

If I had to observe one thing about the results of this challenge, I'd say St'balla was certainly stronger on sharing info and are really getting closer to becoming a team.

N'hura, you've got some work to do, I've got nothing for you.


OK, Survivors, head on back to camp, get some rest, and watch out for Tree-mail announcing the Immunity Challenge.


Jeff Proty... out (oops, wrong show!)

Yay, Team!

<span style="font-size: 25px;">St'balla Rawks!!!</span>

Okay, I'll just put it out there in front of everyone..... what's a St'balla?

@Lone Wolf Legionnaire & Quislet, Esq
Sorry I didn't get back at you both. It was about 3:30am when I got around to doing the challenge.

Don't worry, N'hura mates, we'll get them next time, flight rings or not!!

I'm out...OYUUU!!

Hm - I can fly on my own - bartering opportunity opening up...

** foxlike noise of exultation **

Time to celebrate -- flame-broiled squirrels, all around!

Thats right kenaustin lets keep positive,this is after all the first of many challenges yet to come.

Go team N'hura!

Partial Transcript:


Harmonica Dadaesque: So, Jeff, in all your years of hosting Survivor, with all those different cultures coming together, have you ever had a language barrier to overcome?


Jeff Proty: Well... actually, yes! I remember the very first season, we were filming in Marzal... you know, before it disappeared, and there was one contestant, Gamara, who was actually a giant Japanese turtle-monster, freshly arrived at Legion World.

Now, turtle monsters, you have to remember, don't really have PM'ing in their society. It's all "Roar Across the Land" and such. Anyway, the very first challenge we staged, it came time for the tally... and no Gamara!

Anyway, to make a long story short, I get back to the hotel, and who's waiting for me with an e-mail? Waaa, waaa, waaaaaaa... you guessed it! The big guy.

Got 8 out of 10, too. He was totally in time, he was just waiting in the wrong spot! Anyway, it wouldn't have affected the final result. I made sure I squared Gamara away, and he got right on board with the the PM concept.

True Story!


Harmonica Dadaesque: That's funny, Jeff. Now... on another topic, what do you say to the allegations that in Season 2, you and Jailbait Lass...


Jeff Proty: ...No more questions!


Harmonica Dadaesque: But, Jeff!


Jeff Proty: We agreed, no Jailbait Lass questions! Enough! Shut that camera off, you son of a bi.....
