The votes are in! It's been super fun to watch how this tribal council council went down; it genuinely felt like I was watching the actual show. Well, minus a few parts... such as the fact this isn't the show. But anyway.
First off... sparktrain has played a hidden immunity idol on himself. All votes cast for him will not count.
First vote is for... sparktrain, does not count.
Second vote is for... sparktrain, does not count.
Third vote is for... cbrevan.
Fourth vote is for... cbrevan.
Fifth vote is for... cbrevan.
Sixth vote is for... snorly.
Seventh vote is for... snorly.
Eighth vote is for... snorly.
So we're tied, 3 for cbrevan and 3 for snorly.
Ninth vote and the second person joining the jury...
Snorlax in the way. You may say one sentence in farewell/anger to the tribe in this thread before moving to the jury.
Poor lil idol. Wasted away. Seems like the tribe is fairly well divided. We'll see if this division occurs into the next challenge.
------
Challenge 9 will be a three round, 8 person, single elimination tour playing with bo3 SuMo CAP. Both players who make it to the final round will win immunity for the next tribal council. However, immediately after the next tribal council there will be another one without an additional challenge. Instead, the final winner of the tour will win immunity for both the next tribal council and the one that will take immediately afterwards. Essentially, the runner up wins immunity for one tribal council (tribal council #9), the winner wins immunity for both of the upcoming tribal councils (tribal council #9 and tribal council #10). The next two tribal councils will happen back to back. As soon as the votes are in for the first, the person voted out will go to the jury and the second tribal council will start.
Here's the bracket for the tour in case you guys finish matches before I have a chance to formally announce the next match ups; this means the people who make it to r2 or r3 can play their next opponent as soon as possible and don't have to wait for me to declare it. You kids know how to use a bracket, so use it and schedule ASAP.

But wait... There's more... there's always more right? There is a list of Pokemon that are banned in the tour. However, you can unlock them for your own personal use if you buy them in the CAP Survivor Auction.
Every player will receive 500 CAP dollars, except
LucarioOfLegends who won the bet last challenge and thus has 600. Over the next 24 hours, players may bid in increments of 20 on the Pokemon listed below with a min bid of 20 and a max bid of 500 (this means LucarioOfLegends cannot spend all of his 600 on a single mon). At the end of the 24 hours, the highest bidder on a particular mon will be able to use that mon in any of their matches in this tournament challenge and no one else will be allowed to use that mon. If the highest bid for a particular mon is a tie, then only one of thep layers in the tie will unlock the mon; this will be decided with !Pick. This means that if 3 people bid 500 on Tomohawk, they are all essentially only buy a 1/3 chance to use Tomohawk. In such an instance, even the two people who do NOT unlock Tomohawk still end up spending (wasting) their 500. Any mon not on the auction list may be used for free by anyone on their teams for this challenge; for example, Raikou is not up for auction and thus anyone may use Raikou.
Post auction bets directly in this thread. Keep track of your funds in all of your posts/bets by listing your bid amount of X mon, your current funds considered spent / your current highest bids, and your remaining funds assuming your current bid wins. If you have bid 100 on a mon and no one else has bid higher yet, then that 100 is considered spent and may not be used elsewhere. However, if someone else bids 120 on that mon, suddenly the 100 goes back into your pocket and you can decide whether or not you want to use it +40 extra to upbid or if you want to spend it elsewhere.
Example of how to post a bid:
I bid 140 on Tomohawk and 40 on Cyclohm
Current Money Spent: 240 (140 Tomohawk, 40 Cyclohm, 60 Dugtrio from previous post)
Remaining Funds: 260

The auction ends in 24 hours or until everyone has spent their bid money. The deadline to complete the entire tournament, r1 through r3, will be 60 hours (2.5 days) after the end of the auction. If in the first 24 hours after the auction, you have not contacted your r1 opp then you will automatically lose for activity.
