10 more reasons to join Survivor anyone?
1. People will like you because you're getting the game started faster. Perhaps they won't vote you off right away.
2. Go out and buy a bag of potato chips. There. Now you can be in a Survivor EXACTLY like the real one, only you can eat potato chips instead of bugs. Pretty sweet, huh?
3. Although Well, Well, Well will probably snicker at this if he ever sees this, I will be flexible. If some people absolutely can't make it, I can change the type of challenge to be more forgiving. I only hope this gets started while it's still summer - but the new high school I'll be going to has college-type classes so I may be able to host challenges early in the school day anyway.
4. Awesome avatars. Colorful, nutritious, and low-kilobyte!
5. Suspense. There will be this.
6. You get to strut around the rest of the forum scowling at newbies who didn't join and proclaiming yourself to be a Cool Person.
7. If you're a newbie and you think that nobody on the forum likes you, you can meet people and form grudges in Survivor!
8. 8's an awesome number. Nuff said.
9. What? The other team cheated? In certain challenges, cheating (short of plagiarism or blackmailing someone who knows) is a good thing and if one team cheats, then the other team should have been smart enough to cheat too.
10. Take a walk on the wild side with inter-tribal alliances. They can get very interesting.

First (kinda) Challenge: All the fun, none of the tribal councils!
We may not get a sticky until IdAL ends, but we can surely start a little friendly competition right now. This is ENTIRELY OPTIONAL and does not afford those who participate in it or even win it any unfair advantage in the game itself. The prize is not physical.
In fact, this challenge might be a monumental waste of time. However, the prize is extremely worthwhile to have and will definitely increase your chances of staying on the island. If used improperly, it could also cause total chaos at worst, or at best spice things up a bit.
You will not know who won unless you are the winner, nor will you know what the prize is. The winner may choose to tell you all about his or her winning and what the prize is like, but that is not my responsibility and I will not know if he did or not. If the winner gets voted off, the prize will pass to the runner-up.
There will be no elimination after this challenge, so if you choose not to participate at all that's fine.
Now, you ask, what is this perplexing challenge?
It is this:
Find all the newsgroups, message boards, forums, private chat sites, anything at all as long as it requires registration, but they must be directly linked to Al in some obvious way. Sign up for them. Your information can be nonsense, but you have to use the email address I provided for you. If it doesn't go through because of an odd character in it, then use your own email address (or one that you create) to register, then forward the registration email to the address I gave you from that address. You might have to do that a lot. Some sites I tried it on accepted strange characters and some didn't.
If I cannot see how the forum you registered for relates to Al, I will not accept it. References to any of his albums, videos, TV appearances and shows, or any well-known fact about him are acceptable and I will get them.
At the end of two weeks, that is, midnight of August 10, I will tally up the various registration emails and the user with the most valid ones will be awarded the secret prize!
Survivors, GO!
