@Asyulus @DAJK @The Dark Alfred @elcaballero @Fancyarcher @Goldenhour36 @Rorschach
After quietly deliberating on whether or not I should keep it a secret, I have decided to reveal to you that I am appointing the current BOT Survivor Champion @ZeeSoh as my guest host for the week. ZeeSoh will tabulate and write a Tribal Council skit for the Tuesday immunity challenge, and he might also write a skit for the Top Ten Prediction immunity opportunity. I’ve asked for both skits to be posted in this thread (along with the players’ predictions) to keep the game consistent.
I cannot remind you to predict without access to the internet. Therefore, you must remind yourselves to predict. Your fate in the game may rest in your ability to remember to predict!
I think this week will turn out all right if everyone follows the instructions. So please: follow the instructions. You must follow the instructions. God watches all. 👁️
My plane is about to depart, and I will soon leave the US. Good luck this week!

@Asyulus @DAJK @The Dark Alfred @elcaballero @Fancyarcher @Goldenhour36 @Rorschach
Production apologizes for the long delay.
****
Penguin King: Can you believe ice doesn't count as an element? Such rubbish! Earth, Air, Fire, and Water get to count, but not ice! As the kids say: S-M-H! Anyhoo, please stand on this iceberg and have a snowball fight! The last person standing on the iceberg wins. Ready? GO!
A snowball fight begins.
The Dark Alfred: (eats Red Mushroom) Peace and love, man! (throws a snowball at elcaballero)
elcaballero: Dang, was that a snowball or a brick?!
Asyulus: If I can use a pencil... Then I can use a snowball.
elcaballero: Let's snowball them together!
(Asyulus and elcaballero team up, barraging Alfred and Goldenhour36 with snowballs until they're off the iceberg.)
The Dark Alfred: 🥶
Goldenhour36: 🥶
(Please imagine them bobbing in the water inside rectangular ice cubes.)
Rorschach: Hey, DAJK, can you get Asyulus out for me, cuz he used those mushrooms against me?
DAJK: For sure! Time to avenge my friends!
(DAJK sprints across the ice, tackles Asyulus, and they both fall into the water.)
Asyulus: 🥶
DAJK: 🥶
Rorschach: Thanks, bud. 😉
(Suddenly, Goldenhour36 returns to the iceberg.)
elcaballero: Huh? Didn't you fall in?!
Goldenhour36: Yes—but with my one-up mushroom, it's far from over!
elcaballero: Uhhh... This looks tough. I better use a red mushroom!
(They throw snowballs at each other, but Rorschach is in the way and gets pelted!)
Rorschach: Guys, I—ooh—hey—ouch—
(Rorschach runs off to escape the pelting.)
Rorschach: 🥶
(elcaballero and Goldenhour36 continue throwing.)
elcaballero: Your snowballs are pushing me back!
Goldenhour36: Same here, dude! I'm gonna fall!
(They both fall in.)
elcaballero: 🥶
Goldenhour36: 🥶
SLAM!: It's official! The results are in...

(All scores include mushroom upgrades.)
Fancyarcher wins immunity!
Fancyarcher: Oh, I'm real good.
DAJK: You didn't even do anything! 😭
SLAM!: This means everyone other than [the immunity winner] is in danger of being eliminated. Now, normally you'd be going to tribal council tonight, but for one week only, there won't be any tribal council this week. But Fancyarcher will still be immune from what's about to happen. And to help explain further, we're bringing out a special guest whose lamp was rubbed...
The iceberg cracks, then bursts, revealing:
Spoiler
THE MUSHROOM GENIE
Mushroom Genie: Good afternoon. Fancyarcher received the Genie Lamp from Klevar, and he has already made a wish. For one tribal council session only...
NO VOTES FOR A WEEK/
"SUDDEN DEATH CHALLENGE"
That's right. Instead of voting, the player with the lowest Tuesday immunity score will be automatically eliminated from the game in seventh place.
But "be careful what you wish for." After discussing game ethics with production, the producers and I have mutually agreed to add another element to next week's tribal:
NO ITEMS
For next week's tribal council only, you will not be allowed to use or purchase any items. And by any items, I mean any item you could potentially use. That means that through the "Sudden Death Challenge" twist, one of the super powerful items received last week will be brushed out of the game along with whoever loses the challenge! So it's pivotal that you predict for the next Tuesday immunity, so that you have a chance to avoid getting eliminated through this twist.
If one player forgets to predict next Tuesday, that one player is automatically eliminated. If two or more players forget to predict next Tuesday, then the June 30th weekend becomes a sudden death round (for them specifically) in addition to being a weekend challenge for everyone.
In the important information dossier, there will be special instructions on how you'll predict next week, as well as information on how to secure immunity from the Tuesday Sudden Death Challenge.
With this twist, and with my temporary absence (to another country), comes a trusting that you as players will self-regulate the next week of the game in a way that's fair and honest. I might appoint a guest host to do some calculations and write a skit for the next Tribal Council, and if you have any suggestions on who that could be, I'm open to it. Let me know if you have questions about this twist, and good luck!
Here's the
IMPORTANT INFORMATION DOSSIER
(Wario's Warehouse | Tribal Council | Weekend Challenge)
SpoilerTwist Info
Different-than-usual information will appear below the coin totals. Please read carefully.
Wario's Warehouse
The Warehouse is closed until after Tribal Council #12.
Ways to Earn Coins:
Now that we're in the merge...

IMMUNITY OPPORTUNITY *important*
You have an optional opportunity to score immunity from danger at the next tribal. To play for it, you will predict next weekend's Top Ten (06/23–06/25). So which film is #1, which film is #2, etc. all the way to #10. I'm away for a mission trip until Thursday 06/29, so you have special instructions on how to submit your Top Ten prediction. This time, you will submit the prediction by posting in this thread. This opportunity has a hard deadline, which is Thursday the 22nd at 11:59 PM EST. If you post it before but want to edit it, you must edit the list to your liking by 9:00 AM EST on the 23rd. These are hard deadlines because I want to see on my screen that you posted these "on Thursday" instead of "on Friday." Also, more than two players are not allowed to match their Top Tens together. I'll accept a two-way tie, but no more than that. Top Tens are surprisingly hard to predict anyways, especially during Summer, so there is no reason not to predict the Top Ten fairly/genuinely. Keep in mind that new or expanding releases include Asteroid City, God is a Bullet, No Hard Feelings, and Past Lives. Where will they land on the Top Ten, if they land on it at all? Only you can predict that!
TRIBAL COUNCIL #12
FOR THE SUDDEN DEATH CHALLENGE, YOU WILL PREDICT THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY GROSSES OF...
Asteroid City
The Flash
No Hard Feelings
The Super Mario Bros. Movie
Predictions are due via posting in this thread by Tuesday, June 27th at 11:59 PM EST. If you wish to make edits, all edits must be made by 7:59 AM EST, but you must make an initial post before Tuesday's midnight.
Again: last place player leaves the game.
And again: No items allowed.
Good luck to all of the Bloopers!
WEEKEND CHALLENGE #13
Here's the films you'll predict three-day weekend grosses for on the weekend of the 30th:
Asteroid City
Every Body
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
No Hard Feelings
Past Lives
Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken
The Super Mario Bros. Movie
Predictions are due by Thursday, June 29th around 11:59 PM PST. [The normal "sending through PM or Telegram," and the normal soft-deadline ruling, will both return for this challenge.] Good luck!

Eldstar: Me and my star buddies will be giving out more items on Friday through a one-time event called
STAR-GAZE
During the star-gaze event, you will pick one of seven stars. Each star will give a player an item. Every item has the power to change the game. It will be first come first serve and announcing your pick in the thread just like last time. But be warned: the item that the star gives you matches the personality of the star who's giving it (at least a little bit)—so be discerning! Good luck!

Also not in the Variety article, the next Alien movie is set for August 16. Went from streaming to theatrical I guess. So that's cool. There's also a Rami Malek movie called The Amateur coming November 8.
A little surprised The Marvels didn't move, since I believe Dune 2 will make it impossible for that film to get any IMAX screens. Would also think that would help in terms of less competition. But whatever, not my studio.
In my head, of course it happened because of the writer's strike. If production delays cause less films intended for theatrical to make it out in 2024, then it makes a lot of sense that films intended for streaming would fill that vacant space in 2024.

@CayomMagazine
In a surprising development, Studio Groundswell is looking to vacate its IMAX slot for The Needles of Haystack County. Groundswell invites other studios to take or trade the date. If Groundswell ends up keeping the date then it will replace Haystack County with another IMAX release. Reasons include creative conflict between the storylines and themes of Pinched and Haystack County, as well as the planned release of Endless Animation's animated western Rust—with these complications, Haystack County is currently sandwiched between two films that it's similar to, which could harm the box office of all three films. Groundswell remains committed to maintaining a cooperative relationship with other studios and believes they will find a creative solution to the predicament. Developing...

Who's up for another "I've become inhuman and must be human again" story? Xolo Maridueña (Blue Beetle, Cleopatra in Space) will star in an original animated film for Studio Groundswell titled Pinched, where the timid college-aged Hector goes on a beach trip, gets a sunburn, goes swimming to cool off, finds himself turned into a crab, and goes on an underwater adventure to defend a crab community from predators and discover how to live confidently and freely. Joel Crawford (Puss in Boots: The Last Wish) will direct. The film will be fast-tracked for a Summer Y10 release.

Plot Summary
SpoilerEstablishing shots of a city with vegetables as its citizens before a troublesome gourd named Gourdon rushes out of the store with a stolen bagel. A pair of french-pea policemen run after the thief. When it's clear he can't outrun them, Gourdon tosses the bagel to a homeless scallion named Charlie Pincher. The peas arrest Charlie, as they've mistaken him for the thief.
Fade to the prison interrogation room, where Petunia Rhubarb walks in to have a meeting with Charlie, since she's his public defense attorney. Charlie insists that he didn't steal the bagel, and Petunia believes him, reassuring him that he'll be found not guilty. But as we discover after the meeting, Petunia isn't so sure—the case that the prosecutor's building against Charlie is pretty iron tight. Petunia prays to God, so that he helps Charlie get the "not guilty" verdict.
We get a montage where vegetables all across the city get letters informing them that they've been selected for jury duty. This includes Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber, a Lead Engineer and Hard-Hat construction worker respectively. Bob gets the letter at the site where they're building something, and sees Larry get a similar letter, and he's like "I might have to go to jury duty with Larry?!"
Dad Asparagus gets a jury summons at his house, and Junior Asparagus innocently asks his parents, "what's jury duty?" Mom Asparagus explains jury duty to Junior in a way where it's easy for a movie audience of children to understand. "This won't ruin our plans to go to the zoo, will it?" asks Dad Asparagus. They talk it, saying that hopefully the jury deliberation will be quick and they'll have time for the zoo afterward. "Why don't you come watch the trial, it'll be quite the learning experience," Dad says. The family makes a plan to attend the trial together.
We get a fun montage of the jury-pool-to-jury-box process before we get to the trial. The prosecutor is the Peach from the "Where's My Hairbrush" song (the one who tells Larry, "thanks for the hairbrush"), and the Peach has quite the argument for Charlie's guilt, suggesting that it's likely him who stole the bagel because his homeless encampment is in the alleyway just around the block. "Who knows if this is the first time he's stolen bagels from the bakery!" suggests the Peach. Murmurs among the crowd reveal the stigma against poor men like Charlie. Petunia expresses her fear to her assistant in a whisper, stating that because the bakery hasn't installed a security video system yet, there's no evidence to suggest Charlie isn't guilty—that, and whoever did steal the bagel did so in a way where no one saw who actually did it.
The judge (played by Mr. Nezzer) calls for jury deliberation, and the jury enters a cramped room. Dad Asparagus handles the proceeding as Juror #1, with the other jury members consisting of the following: Archibald Asparagus, Madame Blueberry, Pa Grape, Jimmy and Jerry Gourd, Scooter the Carrot, Mr. Lunt, two French peas (not the policemen), and of course Bob and Larry. There's a "let's get this over with vibe" in the air, and everyone goes down the line saying "guilty." Bob and Larry argue about how fast the deliberation's going, and when it's their turn, Larry blurts "NOT GUILTY," startling everyone. Bob and Larry have a private chat, where Larry convinces Bob that they can't say guilty now because they haven't considered the whole trial yet. Bob agrees with Larry's reasoning. "I hope you're right about this," says Bob. They return to the room, where Bob also says "not guilty," thus kickstarting a longer deliberation.
In the court, Junior whispers to Mom Asparagus that he has to use the bathroom. "Go ahead, but make it quick," says mom. Junior goes to the hallway and passes by Laura Carrot, who's stopped at George's Tailoring Stand where George (the older green onion with the mustache) is busy stitching together Laura's hair-bow. Laura was watching the same court case because it's her dream to be a lawyer one day. "That's pretty neat, well, catch ya later," says Junior.
We follow Junior into the men's bathroom, where he finds Gourdon (who's about Junior's age) spilling soap on the floor and snickering about it. When someone else starts to enter, Gourdon ducks into a stall. The two French-pea policemen burst in and accuse Junior of spilling the soap. Junior struggles to stand up for himself, and the policemen take him away.
Gourdon bounces past Laura and brags about passing off the blame to Junior. Laura rushes further into the hallway and relays this to the French-peas, effectively saving Junior from any further trouble. Junior thanks Laura and she's like "don't mention it, I only did what Jesus would do." When Junior asks curiously what she means, Laura gives him an explanation.
The policemen catch up and corner Gourdon, and after a conversation, they find out that it was Gourdon who stole the bagel. "You may have gotten off easily with a similar shoplifting charge, Gourdon," says Gourdon, "but you won't get off easily this time!" Gourdon leads them on a chase through the hallway, and Junior and Laura get in on trying to chase Gourdon down.
We get a long-ish conversation with the jury where Bob improvises in order to tell the jurors why they shouldn't judge Charlie off of appearances. He shares the gospel: all men have fallen from God due to their sin, so God sent Jesus to die on the cross to pay for the sins of humanity. Then when Jesus rose from the grave, it meant death was defeated, so that anyone who believes in and trusts Jesus as their Lord and savior will rise with him into everlasting life. So why, Bob argues, do we judge on appearances when God judges on hearts? Are we better at judgement than God? Or if there's not enough evidence to convict, should we offer them grace through benefit of the doubt instead? In an inspiring moment, Dad Asparagus calls for a revote, and one by one, the jurors say "not guilty, not guilty, not guilty."
The jury comes back to the court, and it's declared that Charlie is found to be Not Guilty due to lack of evidence. Petunia's happy, the Peach is brushing his hair in frustration, and Charlie is genuinely grateful. Then the pea police enter with Gourdon apprehended, and Charlie's like, "that's the guy who gave me the bagel," so Gourdon gets arrested. Dad, Mom, and Junior Asparagus head off to the zoo, while Petunia thanks Bob and Larry because it turns out jury members who knew not to make judgements on appearances was the answered prayer she needed. Bob gives Larry a raise, and they decide to become friends. The end.

9/11
NEVER FORGET
Studio Groundswell
in association with Minnow Mountain
Director: Keith Maitland
Genre: Documentary
Release Date: September 11th, Y10
Theater Count: 2,506
MPAA Rating: PG-13 for Violence, Peril, and Thematic Content
Budget: $10 Million
Runtime: 1 hr 36 mins
Plot Summary
In this film commissioned by Studio Groundswell, Tower director Keith Maitland uses rotoscope animation to create a comprehensive portrait of 9/11. The film consists scenes and moments from personal interview accounts of the September 11th attacks on the Twin Towers and World Trade Center. The film also includes archival footage, news reel footage, and other footage of 9/11. We get rotoscoped scenes of the planes crashing into the towers, people escaping the towers, firefighters rushing in, and people being stuck under rubble for long periods of time. The film offers a new way of experiencing 9/11 as it places audiences in the midst of the tragedy, as they experience the first-hand accounts of survivors in a way we've never seen it before. The film discusses what it means to be an American, dodging any political discussion or "leaning left or right" and instead functioning as a time capsule, so that audiences all across America will, truly, never forget 9/11.

I’ve realized that’s a big hump, and once I get a major film posted, the rest of my writing and posting becomes easier because I’ve gotten back in the groove. I’ve been very busy with jobs and internships but I’m confident I can post some more films in Y10 without having to cancel too many.
Boodeloodeloop:I’ve made a decision. I’m going to attempt to finish and/or post Providence within the “teens” of June before I go on a mission trip for a week. Doing this will get one of my tentpoles out of the way, and it will energize me to post more films going forward. I’m adapting a book so while the effort maintains the inherent monotony of writing, it shouldn’t be *too* difficult. I’m glad to have set a micro-goal for myself and I’m looking forward to completing the goal in due time.

Hello!
I’m in Guatemala and it’s been great so far. I must confess that I do have access to the internet, but only when we’re at our lodging area. That being said, I am sure that I don’t have time to write the episodes myself, so I think I made the right decision to find a guest host in ZeeSoh, plus it keeps the game fresh and interesting. So I will be around if there’s any questions, that and I’m genuinely curious to see how the week plays out. Good luck!
