The Power of Athena

[Sandros]

The first castaway to successfully follow the instructions and present whatever is asked in their confessional will win the Power of Athena. From the Goddess of wisdom and strategy, they will gain her aid at a future tribal council. They will be granted the opportunity to vote twice at a future tribal council. The Power of Athena will be owned by one person, and can be used only one time - up until the final four.



The Power of Athena is not like the other powers where you follow instructions and find this, then find that. This task is a bit more straightforward, but will require a steady hand.

What needs to be done in order to obtain this power is:
· Head over to www.stringavoider.com/
· Wait for the game to load
· Read the instructions
· Play the game
· You will have 24 hours to play for this power
· Power of Athena ends at 8PM EST Sunday evening.

The game is simple. You have to direct the string through the mazes without having the string touch ANY of the edges. It’s annoying, irritating, fun, and addicting. I personally love it and want see you each of you who are powerless take a crack at it.

If you make it through a maze without having the string touch the edges, you will move onto the next level. The further you make it through the levels, the more total points you accumulate. You want to try to get as far as possible, accumulating the most points possible. Beware because you will lose a life each time you touch a wall. Eventually if you are really bad at this, you will run out of lives and have to start over. If you have a high score and you are on your last life BE SURE to press PRINT SCREEN because if you die, your score will not be saved.

When you feel you have made it far enough, and have a decently high score…press the Print Screen button to save that image. Open up a word document or a paint document and press paste. With your photo bucket account upload the image and post the image in your confessional under a post-entitled “Power of Athena.” Use the 3rd code given when you’ve uploaded the image on Photo bucket, the IMG code.

It should look something like this…













Tachelle, and the holder of The Power of Pan (you know who you are) will not be allowed to compete in this event.

so one of us will definitely win this (the person with the highest score)? or there's a certain minimum score?

[Sandros]

the person with the highest score at the furthest level will win the Power of Athena.

so i don't get it because doesn't the score keep going up the longer you take to do a maze? so if someone just moved the string and sat at the computer they could get a high score on level 1?

[Sandros]

I've beaten the game and have all the different mazes in a list. I want to see who can get the highest score, and get the furthest. I know the scores goes up if you just sit there soo If your screen shot high total, but you're only on the 2nd maze , obviously I know what you did.

If you have a really high score, you MUST be at a maze deep within the game, not at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th maze. I can tell by the screen shots. If I see that lots of people have High scores and are only on the 1st or 2nd maze, then that is really stupid, lol.

Winner will be declared as who got the furthest in the game.

Yeah if that's how the scoring works in the game, it should just go by level as higher score means you took longer (and aren't as good). If two people had the same level and different scores, wouldn't the one with a lower score be better since they did them faster?

[Sandros]

mhmmm

[holly]

good! lol i feel better thanks
