Introduction
Welcome back to the fifth season of ATRL's Holy Trinity! You will not play any other game like this on ATRL. Holy Trinity combines strategy and social play with the fun creativity needed for your entries.
After the feedback poll from Holy Trinity 5, it seemed that many people felt like the challenges were getting redundant season to season. People were getting tired of challenges I used every time, like the Emoji Trinity, and felt they just needed to be let go. This season, my main goal was to put a new and fresh spin on the challenges! Only 3 of the 10 challenges are from seasons I've hosted (one is from a collin season) and no challenge has been used more than once before! Prepare for the unexpected!
Also I got rid of that tacky "Rebirth"-"Resurgence"-"Renewal" **** hiuhiuhiu
How To Play
Every round, I'll post a challenge. They are built upon a general theme for the contestant to follow. Based on these challenges, each contestant must create a trinity – three songs that work together to represent the challenge. These interpretations should be creative, but not over our heads. All entries will be posted in the thread (not in quotes if it matters for your formatting).
The judges will listen to and read your entries, give short comments and then rank your entries from best to worst. The three contestants with the highest rankings make up the Golden Trinity, and the three contestants with the lowest rankings make up the Flop Trinity. The Golden Trinity then decides which contestants in the Flop Trinity to eliminate permanently from the game. A contestant can go from being in the Golden Trinity one round to being in the Flop Trinity immediately afterwards; consistently staying out of the Flop Trinity is vital.

Working to the end of the game, the final 5 players will participate in a massive finale to decide their final ranks, and the top 3 contestants overall will combine and join forces in ATRL's Holy Trinity. The road to success, however, isn't always that simple. Do you have what it takes to be a part of ATRL's Holy Trinity?
New Additions
New additions this season are fairly lowkey. Last time, it seemed type restrictions were more annoying than they were fun and I didn't want to do something similar. However, these twists will change how you play the game strategically and socially.
The first new addition, and the biggest one, is that every round, the Golden Trinity must give a non-Golden Trinity member immunity for the next round. They must do this in addition to eliminating a Flop Trinity member and it is not optional. A member with immunity can place in the Flop Trinity, but cannot be eliminated. However, there's another layer to this: unless the player with immunity places in the Flop Trinity, they don't find out they have immunity. It's up to the Golden Trinity if they want to say which member they gave immunity to or not.
The second new addition is contestants' save. If an elimination is particularly upsetting for the contestants, then they can bring the eliminated contestant back. To do so, more than half of the contestants must post in the thread, agreeing that they want the contestant to return. This save can only be used once per season.
If you have any questions about these new additions or how the game works, feel free to ask!
I know this is all a lot of information to take in at once. Trust that you'll learn the ropes as you go own! Use this advice to help you make important decisions in the game.

Try not to use the immediately-expected songs. Interpret challenges in unique ways. Surprise us, in a good way! Be unique like the special snowflake you are(?).
T H I N K S T R A T E G I C A L L Y
When you're in the Golden Trinity, you can eliminate anyone you want in the Flop Trinity, and in some cases beyond just that. Develop stratagem and create allies. Remember your fellow contestants are the ones ultimately deciding who gets eliminated every round.

You might love an idea, but is it going to work out? Is it a risk that won't pay off? Are you just choosing a song because you love it and not because it's the best fit? Keep your best wits with you as you proceed.
