16 Players! However many days! THIS is Something Awful Survivor!

Welcome to a new forum reality experience: Survivor Wandering Woods. This is my first time running one of these, and I’m fully aware of the scale of the shoes I intend to fill. For old and new survivors alike, there will be much to experience for the very first time this season. Unlike seasons past, the theme this season is not tied to any one SA community but rather a convention of my creation: The Wandering Woods. Please read the OP carefully, as there are some crucial differences in how this season will function compared to seasons past. Whether you’re a player, a fellow moderator, or a popcorn-munching viewer, we’re happy to have you here!

Come and join the discord! (UNLESS YOU'RE PLAYING IN WHICH CASE WAIT UNTIL THE GAME STARTS)


The schedule for this game is as follows:

ALL TIMES ARE LISTED IN EASTERN STANDARD TIME.

Monday and Wednesday at 9PM there will be a challenge. I intend to keep these challenges to an hour.

Tuesday and Thursday at 9PM there will be a tribal council. I intend to keep these pretty snappy as well. If you are on the losing tribe or have made it to the merge, it is imperative that you at least submit a vote for Tribal Council. Ideally, you will be present for it. Failure to submit a vote will lead to an automatic self-vote.

Tribal Council Proceedings

Tribal Council is going to function a bit differently this season. If you are scheduled to attend tribal council, here is your day.

Sometime in the morning, you will receive a prewritten tribal council question. Do your best to respond to the prompt in your confessional channel. Your response may be written, an audio file, or even a video file if you feel inclined.

When tribal council starts, two different things will happen:

I will be going onto twitch at https://twitch.tv/honkerwatch and will be conducting tribal live, where I will be reading everyone’s responses.

Simultaneously, I will post everyone’s responses in the thread.

After all the answers have been presented, I will open the thread to a general discussion. Producers may interject here. If there’s activity and lively conversation, I will allow that to commence for up to 15 minutes or so.

Once discussion, if any, has died down or reached a natural stopping point, we will vote.

Voting is the same, in principle. Presentationally, all votes must be submitted in a manner that is suitable for black and white printing as the votes will physically be read for each tribal. You may draw your votes, type them, or whatever you like, but know that I will print them out for display.

Also, if you have any advantages you wish to play, you are to let me know that you intend to play them as you cast your vote. If you have an advantage and don’t choose to play it, but somebody else plays theirs, I will let you know, and you will have another chance to play before the votes are revealed.

Additionally, I will sometimes take to twitch, when appropriate, for challenges.

More twists to follow, but for now, that’s what’s new!


Rules:

  • The player who stands at the end of this season will be crowned Sole Survivor and receive a prize of 100 dollars. Cashapp, Venmo, whatever works for you.
  • Unless otherwise specified, when you are alive in this game, you may only talk to members of your tribe. If you wish to make a secret alliance chat, please inform a producer. Also, you may communicate in any manner you wish with your tribemates. Consider starting an alliance room with just one person so the viewers can follow along with what you feel comfortable showing them.
  • There is to be no colluding to split the prize money or anything like that. Play your game.
  • Posts in the thread may not be edited, and though it’s much harder to enforce, you may also not delete communication in discord chats.
  • Failure to attend tribal council, or challenges, will result in penalties potentially including loss of or a self vote. In extreme circumstances, removal from the game. When attending tribal council, there is to be no communication allowed outside of participating in the thread.
  • Should a tie occur at tribal council, there will be a revote. The players who received the tying votes will not revote, will be the only players eligible to receive a vote. If there is another tie following this revote, the players who were eligible now become immune and all other vulnerable players will enter into a random rock draw to determine who is sent home that evening.
  • If you are caught cheating, I will get lovely about it.
  • Producers can do what we need to, whenever we need to. We are invested in game integrity. This will be fair. If mistakes or goofs happen, we will be transparent in fixing what needs fixing, but we feel prepared to run a good and honest game.
