DAY 5: THE PYRAMID PIECES
We now have eight official endurance teams, and things are heating up! Please be sure to get to know your partners, and of course, get talking with the other teams to form those all-important alliances.
Now, it is time to introduce the TEN pyramid pieces of Endurance! These ten pieces were the original pieces from the TV show's first season. Each one represents a different quality that is necessary to succeed in this game. Take a look at the pictures and descriptions!
Commitment: As a team, you must be committed to each other to make it all the way and prove you have the most Endurance.
Courage: The ability to reach deep inside yourself and find the will to persevere despite your fears.
Discipline: Concentrating on the task at hand is key to winning, and those who have the discipline to maintain focus will prevail.
Heart: Brute strength and intelligence are needed to win, but without some heart and determination from within they won't get you far.
Knowledge: More than just intelligence, knowledge is the power to combine experiences with information to benefit you and others. Who will you share your knowledge with, and whose knowledge will you use?
Leadership: The skill to guide others through both good and bad times is an important quality. The one who displays the greatest leadership skills will gain trust and power with their teammate and the other players in the game.
Luck: Even if you are strong and smart and have perfected the game strategy, sometimes you need that little extra boost that comes to you out of the blue. They say luck comes to those who prepare. Will that be true on the island?
Perseverance: Even if you didn't win the first couple missions, it takes perseverance to continue to push yourself to succeed. Success comes to those who persevere, never give up.
Strength: Physical power along with mental mastery can help you succeed. Strength is the foundation for success in this competition.
Trust: Do you trust your partner to do what it takes? Do you even trust yourself? Believing in your team is an essential part of this competition, and deciding whether or not to confide in friends can determine your fate.
Each team will start the game with one piece. Grey Team will start with two pieces, as a reward for being brave and choosing the cursed color! The selection of pieces will go in reverse order of team formation. So, the teams will get to choose their initial piece in this order:
1. Brown
2. Purple
3. Red
4. Green
5. Orange
6. Grey -- choose two
7. Yellow
8. Blue
There will be one piece left over following this selection. That piece will be up for grabs in the first Endurance Mission, which will be posted on Monday or Tuesday.
In order to choose your team's piece, all that is necessary is for one of the team members to post their desired piece in the thread. The teams must go in order, so Truth Teller/Remmy can not choose until either Regina George or Nnmmo choose one. The piece you select is not necessarily important, but it is kind of nice to have an official quality that your duo represents.
Finally, please remember that these pieces are critical to your long-run prospects of winning the game. The team that collects all 10 pieces during the finale will become the winning team! So, you want to accumulate as many as possible before then. When a team is eliminated, their pyramid piece(s) will be up for grabs in the following day's Endurance Mission, alongside the samadhi.
Which piece will you choose?
