Hello and Welcome to Weird Al Survivor -- SEASON 3 !!!
Once again, we have several players who come from all walks of life, from all ages, from all different parts of the country. All of whom are now willing to be stranded in a barren desolate WOWAY thread for ... well ... I dunno ... however many days it takes to end this stupid thing, I guess. Each will endure brutal mental challenges, have friendships and relationships tested, and develop serious cases of butt rot sitting at their computers for hours on end. And this they do all for the fun of playing, for the chance to win exciting Weird Al related prizes, and for the opportunity to claim bragging rights ... as The SOLE SURVIVOR of Weird Al Survivor 3!!!
12 Players! Some interminable amount of Days! 1 Big Headache ... I mean, 1 Survivor!!
I am your host for this season, Doc Probst.
And now, here are our players and their tribes.
First, on the PETROLEUM JOE TRIBE:

The games will begin TODAY, THURSDAY, JUNE 24TH, at 8:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time [that's 7:00 PM Central and 5:00 PM Pacific]!!
Tree Mail [a poorly rhymed and metered message giving you veiled clues about your next challenge] has been posted already just below!!
A schedule of all challenges and tribal councils has been posted here and regularly updated throughout the game!!
Also, a list of the tribe members with their avatars follows this post and is found here; this will be linked to during challenges so that Survivors can switch back and forth easily from their Tribal Avatars and Immunity Avatars and can keep track of who is reamining in their tribe.
PLEASE, PLEASE REMEMBER TO KEEP ALL COMMENTS ABOUT THE GAME IN THE SURVIVOR 3 CHIT CHAT THREAD!!! THIS THREAD SHOULD ONLY CONTAIN THE GAME ANNOUNCEMENTS, THE GAME PLAY, AND QUESTIONS ABOUT SPECIFIC CHALLENGES!! Thanks for understanding!!

This post will change soon. I am in the process of typing up rules for Survivor in general and making a sort of reference thread for this andfuture Survivor series, so that current and future players can have their questions answered by clicking on a reference topic here. Please bear with me as this post nears completion of its construction. Thanks!!
Welcome all to your island retreat.
You do need shelter, and you need to eat.
But communication is needed too;
If you lack that, then you'll be through!!
BTW, Jim. PsychoWardJester27, was curious if he could sign up. If he's able to get one more person then we'd have 14 contestants! Or is it too late for him to sign up?
This will be a round designed to get your tribe talking. By the time you read this, each tribe already has been sent via WOWAY PM the same six clues, one different clue for each of your six tribe members. Each clue is a scrambled title of an Al song. Note that ALL of the titles are of Al songs ONLY from his eleven studio albums, so that should help limit your choices. Each person needs to unscramble their own clue, and then somehow find out the other five clue answers. Once all six answers are known, take the first letter of each of the six unscrambled song clues, unscramble THOSE letters, and spell yet another song title of Al's -- this one being the "Final Song Title". First tribe to post the correct final song title in the GamePlay thread wins immunity. Easy enough, right?
"How do I find out everyone else's clues?" That's up to you. You could use the WOWAY PM system, or find out everyone's e-mail addresses, or set up a Yahoo Group, or use an instant messaging program for everyone, or post the clues in the Chit Chat thread [rather STUPID ... yet unquestionably effective], or send it through carrier pigeon ... *I* sure don't care. This challenge is meant to get your tribe to think and act as a unit. Figure out what works best for your group of individuals. But don't wait too long -- or YOUR tribe will be the one in Tribal Council!!
"But what if I don't even know what my OWN clue is supposed to be??" Again, teamwork is the key. The sooner you get everyone in your tribe together, the more minds will be working on the harder scrambled titles.
"Will we be able to figure out the 'Final Song Title' without all six clues?" Perhaps. So it's not mandatory that EVERYONE in your tribe participate. But consider this -- if you're on the losing tribe this round, the most likely survivor to be voted at this first Tribal Council will be the one who DIDN'T share their clue with the rest of the tribe. So it's in everybody's best interest to participate.
Enough said? Well, then, let's get this season off to a good start!
At the 30 minute mark from the original posting of the challenge, so far just 3 of the Petroleum Joes and 5 of the Squid Hats have reviewed their clues in their WOWAY PM boxes.
And yet -- AMAZINGLY -- despite this -- the Joes have gotten the RIGHT ANSWER!!
ATTENTION!! The immunity challenge is now officially OVER!!
