Residence: Chicago!

Why I think I should play Awful Survivor: It seems neat, I can show off my chops as a master manipulator and so on.

Why I think I am going to win the game: I like me. I like my chances. I am a happening guy who makes things happen.

The SA forum I'm mostly found posting in other than here is: The Mod Forum, defending your right to post these games from a cruel admin structure that only loves evil.

What can you expect from me in this game as a player: I make a lot of poor life choices sometimes. I bet some of those could be entertaining.

My best buddy on these forums is: Oh man, if I pick someone then I not only mark them for death at the hands of my many enemies, but I slight all the others. You are all my buddies, my beloved fellow goons, and I am honored to shepherd you through these trying times.

What I am going to do with the life changing $75 Amazon.com Giftcard Prize: I had a bunch of goofy answers here, but probably buy crap for my kid. She needs crap!

If I could have dinner with the ghost of one past historical figure who is totally dead right now, it'd be with _______ talking about : Herman Melville, so we could talk about whaling.

Off the top of my head, I remember:
1. a REALLY long game of battleship
2. a cooperation game where members of a tribe had to post one word of a paragraph at a time, quoting the previous person. If the tribe got crossed up and had two people post the same word they had to start over
3. Getting high scores on a couple of flash games
4. Creative efforts like making a better tribe banner

I remember most if not all of the challenges were kind of suited to the forum theme, so god only knows what a BYOB challenge looks like.

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.

Hey guys, I've gotten this question a number of times, so I'll clarify it here.


In this game, you can ONLY communicate with fellow tribemates outside of the thread, and inside the thread, you cannot strategize or send messages or anything with people not in your tribe. Cross tribe strategization is EXTREMELY against the rules. You are absolutely free to PM/IM/Write a letter to anyone on the same tribe as you, however! And of course, when the tribes do merge, you can speak to anyone you want anyway you want, as long as they're still in the game.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
Is this challenge for reward? I could really use a tarp.

OKAY YOU GUYS, IT'S TIME FOR THE FIRST TRIBAL IMMUNITY CHALLENGE!


Immunity is important. It's the only thing that ensures you don't get voted out at Tribal Council. In this part of the game, we're playing for TRIBAL Immunity. If you hold Tribal Immunity, you avoid Tribal Council. Normally, with three tribes, the first two to win are safe, and the tribe that comes in third would lose. However, today, that is not the case. Only the first place winner will come off with Immunity. The TWO losing tribes will attend Tribal Council, and vote somebody out.

This is a game that really leaves things to chance. You're basically playing Rock, Paper, and Scissors. The way this works, we will play it in six heats. Based on a predetermined order, you will PM me either Rock, Paper, or Scissors. If your choice beats a player's choice, you get a point. If it beats both players choices, you get two points. If all three of you cancel out, nobody gets a point. If you lose, you get no points. Tribe with the most points at the end of this challenge will win. And just to make sure everyone knows how Rock/Paper/Scissors works, Rock beats Scissors, Scissors beats Paper, Paper beats Rock.

Here are the heats:

Round 1: Dhaes vs Windshipper vs Majuju
Round 2: Sandwolf vs Your Personal Muse vs Winson_Paine
Round 3: Bowmore vs Disco Spider vs Bysers2142
Round 4: Fast Luck vs Wolery vs Propaganda Machine
Round 5: Chili vs Skinty McEdgar vs IcePhoenix
Round 6: Mr. Maltose vs The Goog vs CapnAndy

I'll post when the round starts. To speed things up, just input your choice in the subject line. Don't submit before your round.


ROUND ONE: START
