Hello everyone and welcome to the first Immunity Challenge of Conquest: Faroe Islands. The first of what I'm sure will be some very exciting competitive showings to come.
This is what you will be fighting for in today's challenge.
Immunity is up for grabs!
This challenge is called "Turf War" and that's because over the course of the 24 hour challenge period, you will be competing against the other tribe to cover as much space on the following grid as possible.
Your goal is to fill the grid as much as possible with your tribe colour. Each blank square is worth one point. Each square with a white point value is up for grabs for whatever tribe owns it at the end of the challenge. Each square with an orange/purple point value can only be earned if that tribe is on that square.
How will you fill the grid though? Well you will have the option of using any of the following three weapons: The Brush, The Roller or The Bomb.
___________________________________________________________
THE BRUSH
The Brush is a simple tool, it colours one square at a time. It's pretty basic.
After using The Brush, you must wait 10 minutes before using another weapon.
THE ROLLER
You can get a bit more done with the roller. It allows you the colour three spots in a line. This could be going left, right, up or down. The roller does not work diagonally.
After using The Roller, you must wait 45 minutes before using another weapon.
THE BOMB
Now the bomb is a fun one. You toss this sucker and its explosion covers a whopping nine spots forming a square.
After using The Bomb, you must wait 120 minutes (2 hours) before using another weapon.

Those are the weapons, now here are some more rules that you need to know about this challenge:
Each tribe will begin on their respective corners with one square already coloured in. In order to paint a blank square on the grid, you have to be touching a square that was previously your colour. For example, you can't just use The Bomb to cover the middle of the grid if it was already empty.
If the other tribe has covered a square with paint you are allowed to cover over their colour. No space is finalized until after the challenge deadline.
To properly use a weapon you must post the phrase "PLAYER uses WEAPON" along with the image of the grid and the area you are covering painted. Posts without both the phrase and grid will not count. You are allowed to modify and delete your posts during this challenge.
Here is an example of what a proper post will look like:
"JOHN USES THE BOMB"
If you do not have photo editing software we recommend using Pixlr Photo Editor (https://pixlr.com/editor/) to modify the grid images. We recommend you use Imgur (imgur.com) to upload your grids as you colour them.
You do not necessarily have to be the person who created the grid image, someone from your tribe can create one for you to post.

This challenge will begin at 8:00 PM EST.
If you have any questions please reach out to the hosts before the challenge begins, we'll be glad to answer anything you would want to know.
See you then!
