In Islamic culture, the jinn are like humans--neither believers nor nonbelievers from birth. Unlike humans, they have incredible powers and are equally as likely to be generous and benevolent as to be capricious and self-serving. Regardless, their offers are incredibly tantalizing, even when they can have a heavy cost. In this challenge, you will enter the Cave Of Wonders alone, and be presented with a challenge by the jinn inside. You will have no more than one hour to complete the challenge, and further details will be given to you once you enter the cave. You may not use outside resources for any part of this challenge. You are not allowed to discuss this challenge with anyone on your tribe. The exact way this challenge will be scored will be told to you in the cave, but otherwise, it's up to you, and the jinn, to determine your fate. Best of luck, players. Cave of Wonders |

If anything about Jinn is more well known than their power to grant wishes, it is to be careful for what you wish for. The jinn has judged your actions and re-sorted you accordingly. You are now either part of the Taotie Tribe and the White Tiger Tribe.   |  |  | Athena | Eloritu | Hermes |  |  |  | Jael | Jesus | Kronos |  |  |  | Loki | Persephone | Viy |
  |  |  | Bilious | Cerberus | Fili & Kili |  |  |  | Hades | Maat & Hathor | Odysseus |  |  |  | Papatuanuku | Phobos & Deimos | The Radiance |
The Taotie Tribe will be attending tribal council tonight, they will have 72 hours to decide their votes. You will receive your idol clues shortly, and remember in the event of a tie, the jinn favours those who can make up their minds quicker. |

So in follow up to what I suggested in call, this is how I'd suggest we reword the cave stuff:
You have started the Cave of Wonders challenge. The jinn stands before you, eyes gleaming. You see 100 rubies in front of the jinn. The jinn is holding a piece of parchment. Perhaps he could give it to you.
Your challenge is quite simple. You may take as many rubies as you wish.
To take the ruby, simply type a number between 1-100 in the finishing form.
The tribe who take the fewest rubies will win immunity, in the event of a tie the jinn favours those who can make up their minds quicker and thus the quickest time will win.
The jinn promises that they will only reveal which tribe is safe and which will go to tribal council.
The jinn is willing to sell the piece of parchment to those with the most rubies.
The 9 players who take the most rubies will get a clue to a hidden immunity idol after the challenge ends. (Again in the event of a tie, the jinn favours those who can make up their minds quicker)

i like the above idea of eliminating the random element and just giving the clue to the top x.
the jinn promised he would only reveal which tribe is safe, so perhaps we shouldn't comment on the margin. it's theoretically possible for it to be small.
the twist is rude, but i'm amused by it.

Yeah, we should edit the form so it is like that. Makes everything cleaner. Edited the other post cause you are right.
