• a description of your tribe
• a list of tribe members
• a group tribe picture (as approved from previous challenge)
• footnote providing credit to products used to design page
• links to a minimum of the Mac Guild home page, and the MacSurvivor web page

Futher information is required, either on the main page or subsequent pages, as follows:

• detailed information about each tribe member
• individual "head & shoulder" pictures of each tribe member
• credits for each tribe members contribution to the web site (minimum of title, may include other credits)

The web site will be judged on the following criteria:

• flow of information
• attention grabbing
• ease of loading (consider dial-up users)
• how well it provides a sense of the tribe and MacSurvivor game
• Mac themed
• technology usage
• creativity and originality

Options that are allowed (but not mandatory):

• links to other sites
• flash movies
• javascript
• CGI interaction
• member profile pictures and other graphics
• animated GIFs
• sounds, music, and/or video
• multiple pages (aka, details about the tribe, tribal stories, etc.)
• style sheets (CSS)

There will be 3 submissions of the web site:

• an outline of the initial web design (actual graphics, text and special features may use placeholders)
• a rough draft of the web page
• final submission of your web site

In addition to the submissions, there will be individual tasks handed out to each member. Failing to complete these tasks by a proposed deadline will result in a meeting at the "Clay Hut" board room on the island with none-other than Donald Trump where they run the risk of getting "fired".

Feedback will be provided on the rough draft. Final submissions will not be approved for voting until all requirements are met. Once approved, the site will be placed up for vote by a panel of non-tribal Mac Guild members. The judges will vote based upon the criteria given above. The tribe with the most votes wins immunity, and the losing tribe will meet at tribal council to vote a member of their tribe. Members that were "fired" during challenge will be forced to cast a vote against themselves at tribal council.
