You have noticed that we didn't have a comp picture for this season.

That's because we let the contestants make them for this ritual.

The contestants had to make a comp picture related to Glitch's Temple somehow. It doesn't have to include all of the contestants in it. The team we think made the best comp picture will win immunity and gets to choose which team will be the losing team. Additionally, we'll use the winning comp picture for this book as well as make it the official picture of Glitch's Temple.

Unlike the previous season, this one was a bit more. . . uninteresting.

Here is the first challenge summarized by one sentence: Sky and Ry basically carried their teams.

In Team One's chat, almost everyone was active. They talked about how and who would make the team pictures, but Sky actually was the only one who did the work whereas no one else suggested ideas that were used.

Sky sent his first draft to the team in the first several hours of the challenge, which was basically not a comp pic but rather a team pic. I clarified on the main chat that they should make a COMP pic, not a TEAM pic. Sky ended up doing it all over again and sent his second output.

After Sky sent his second output, Abdallah sent his output on the team chat, asking whether or not it should be the size of a Wattpad book cover (216 × 400). I clarified that it could be at any size as I can just crop the image to fit the desired resolutions. He ended up not using it.

They ended up with Sky's second output.

Team Two was even worse lmao

Right after I announced the challenge, Ry kept asking her team for ideas. However, no one really answered. Poke said he couldn't help as drawing isn't his "strong suit", and Blue is doing nothing as usual. Pencil and Dodo were inactive. I even made a couple sarcastic remarks regarding how helpful her teammates are.

Talk about a cooperative team.

Since her teammates are too cooperative, she announced that she'd make the comp pic herself without using others' ideas (which is none lmao).

Ry sent her comp pic later on, a couple hours before the deadline.

If you thought Team Two was the greatest example of cooperation, try asking Team Three.

Team Three's chat was the definition of "dead".

Xavier did suggest some ideas in the team chat. But other than that, the chat was. . . gg

Anyways, here are the comp pictures sent by the teams:

Sky's first output ^

Abdallah's output ^

And here were the final outputs:

Team One ^

Team Two ^

All of these sucked tbh. Just ask us hosts and spectators (Leo and Naomi were added as spectators btw)

As a result, Leo had to make one, though I'm not gonna use it anyway.

Leo's ^

Team Three didn't pass on time.

As a result, they had to sacrifice one of their members.

We asked the god of chance (Roll) who will be sacrificed.

Roll chose Trash.

Trash has been smitten.

Trash's Stats:

Thanks for participating, Trash!

Additionally, Team Three had to do an Oracle Challenge, since they didn't do the main challenge. Chess began to work on the challenge, eventually leaving it halfway there. Xavier continued the work.

In the challenge, Chess was the only one who could submit their output for the said challenge since she was team captain. However, since her tablet was having some issues and wasn't going to be too active, I decided to let Xavier pass it to me. No one ended up getting eliminated because of the Oracle Challenge.

But before they did the Oracle Challenge, we have decided to give immunity to Team One.

Therefore, they get to choose which team will be sending someone home.

A few hours before the voting ceremony begins, Team One had talked about which team will be sending someone home.

They ended up with Team Three.

After already suffering a loss, Team Three also had to send someone home.

This also means that Team One also gets to vote who will be eliminated in Team Three. That makes it 9 votes.

In Team One during voting, Sky asked whether or not they should vote off the threats or the inactives. Nathan suggested voting off Thomas, saying along the lines of "he's an okay guy. He might be a threat later on."

He's basically not allowing him to float.

In Team Three when Chess was doing the Oracle Challenge, she told her teammates to vote her off instead.

Since the contestants hate me, only three of them actually voted.

Even though Chess asked her teammates to vote her off instead, the votes were narrowed down to Tamer and Thomas.

One of them had two, and the other had one.

Tamer had one vote.

Thomas had two.

Thomas has been smitten.

Thomas's Stats:

Team: The Temple Totems
Confessionals: 0
Votes received: 2
Missed challenges: 0
Challenge eliminated in: Comp Pic Challenge
Place: 14th

Thanks for participating, Thomas!

His last words will be posted in the next chapter.

After the elimination ceremony, I announced something.

It's merge time.

Technically.

Since Team Three had only three members left, it kinda got us concerned because the next time Team Three loses, we're worried that it might end up being an overkill, which will make it unfair for Team Three members.

Plus, Team Two would also probably like some new members, since they're so cooperative.

So, we have decided to disband Team Three and absorb it into the remaining two teams.

Here are the new teams:

Emblem Excavators (Team One):
Sky (captain), Abdallah, Chess, Collin, Nathan, Tech, Tamer

The Demi-Gods (Team Two):
Ry (captain), Blue, Dodo, Pencil, Poke, Xavier

yes we're aware that they're unbalanced but we can't do anything about that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also during the course of the challenge, Leo tried to create some drama by asking to vote off the team captains, and that he'll give points to whoever made drama.

That didn't work rip

* * * * *

Confessionals:
[2] Ry: 2
[3] Xavier: 1

What will happen next? Will there be any drama? Will Team Two continue to be cooperative? Will Sky and Ry keep on doing the team challenges by themselves? Will Leo succeed in creating drama? Find out next time on Glitch's Temple!

That's it from me, everyone!
