We're flying over a breathtaking section of the South Pacific, heading to a remote destination in the mystical island nation of Tokelau, thousand of miles from the nearest continent. Centuries ago, these islands were a place to be feared, as the world's great explorers told terrifying tales of sorcery, human sacrifice, brutal battles and ferocious cannibals. Today, this unique landscape features stunning beaches, untapped rugged terain and is home to an array of exotic and deadly wildlife.
This will be the home for eighteen Americans from different walks of life for the next thirty-nine days. They'll have to fend for themselves using the resources of the land and their own survival skills. It is the ultimate challenge. Eighteen strangers, forced to work together to create a new society, while battling the elements and each other. They must learn to adapt or they'll be voted out of the tribe. In the end, only one will remain to claim the title of Sole Survivor.
39 DAYS, 18 PEOPLE, 1 SURVIVOR!

WELCOME TO SURVIVOR TOKELAU!
Come on in, guys! Welcome to the very first challenge of Survivor: Tokelau! I'd like to thank all of you for joining this game. I'm preparing a very good season and I hope you guys have a lot of fun in the next 39 days of this game.
Before we start this challenge, I have some things to say: This is the first season that we will be introducing a form of Exile Island. After each challenge, at least one contestant will be banished there, separated from the rest of the players. They'll have no idea what's going on back at camp and they'll be forced to live on their own until they return to the game. But there is a silver lining to this twist, the player who goes there will be given a chance to locate one of the most important powers you can have in the whole game, the Hidden Immunity Idol, which could change the game forever and help one of the Survivors win the title of Sole Survivor.
Also, confessionals are very important for this game and we really want to know what's going on. How can a host enjoy their game without anything to read about? We will often post brain pickers in your confessionals to keep your mind going, but do note that we do read and we do care. So, please make at least a simple confessional every round. It's not hard to write at least three lines about what's happening in this game. If you don't write a confessional, you'll get a self-vote. On the plus side, it will help us decide the cast for the All-Star season. Prove to us you have what it takes to be a star of the season.
So, wanna know what you're playing for tonight? While immunity is not on the line, this challenge is very important and could completely determine your fate in this game, because, tonight, you will be playing for the opportunity to become tribe captains.
As you can see, there's 18 players and 3 tribes, so three of you will become tribe captains and have the right to choose your whole entire tribe. And, to win that title and position, you must win this competition. Alright, are you guys ready to get to your first challenge?
All of the eighteen players will start in this challenge stuck in the middle of a huge maze. Your ultimate goal is to walk thought the entire maze and get to other side of the beach, where only 3 of you will be able to earn the title of team captains. It sounds very simple, right? So, let's take a look at the maze:
To finish this challenge, you must solve the maze above, create a thread in your confessional and post it there. The first three players to complete this will be the team captains of Atafu, Olohega and Fakaofo, while the rest of you will have your faith in their hands. And the first and fastest player will be the first person of the season to win a trip to Exile Island, where he or she will have a chance to look for the Hidden Immunity Idol.
Also, the team captain of the losing team in the first Immunity Challenge will go to Tribal Council with individual immunity, so he or she won't be able to be the first person voted out and sent to the Pre-Jury Hut. So, worth playing for?
If you have any kind of questions, please ask me by sending a PM or a message on AIM.
SURVIVORS READY?! GO!
