Trail of Points
The first immunity challenges involves establish strong Mac Guild membership of all
the castaways. The theme of this round is to establish a sense of membership spirit
and to test the endurance and will of the contestants.
The qualifying phase of this round was to ensure that all members have filled out
Mac Guild polls, and that gift points were allocated to elevate all members to a
minimum of the Silver level.
Once membership was enhanced, the castaways were tasked to write freeware reviews
to earn immunity points for their team.
Scoring:
Each team starts off with the gift point surplus of the team with the most gift points
(this is the balance of total gift points left after allocating to members in need).
This turned out to be 98 points.
Because the MacLions won the last award challenge, they also have a reserve of 10
bonus points that will be added to their score at the end of the round.
Each review that is published earns the reviewer's tribe an additional 10 points
(11 points for some titles). Each castaway may only have one review title in progress
at a time. Bonus points are made available during the course of the round. The team
with the most points at the end of the review wins immunity.
Additionally, each castaway that turns in at least one review earns a prize from
the treasure chest, and two votes at tribal council (if they are on the losing team).
Likewise, the member who earns the most points for their tribe also earns the Immunity
Crown (which can be kept or given to another tribe member).
