STING 64: Oct 20, 2006

>>GAME IS LIVE!<< Click for the link to the main thread. I will be PMing players links to their tribes, anyone who didn't make the cut, super sorry, but we encourage you to try again next time, there will also be no restrictions on casting. If interested, shoot me a PM for a link to the Vista~!
:siren:

It's back! You thought it was gone, never to be seen again, but the curse continues! Once again, the battle for $100 is renewed! We go to the beginning for this return to form. This new season is open to everyone to sign up! Former players, winners, newbies alike, all are welcome! There are no co-mods, only I, ~~John Cena~~ Minoru Suzuki, the poster with the worst personality in the world. Sixteen of you will play, but only one will win. Do you have what it takes?

Awful Survivor is first and foremost a game of Social Strategy. You're expected to make and break bonds to further your position. Every Tuesday and Thursday, there will be a vote, ridding the game of a player. This process continues until the end, when a jury of voted out players will vote for a winner. Of course, every Monday and Wednesday, there will be battles for Immunity, but that is far less of an important detail. No game events will take place on Friday or weekends unless otherwise stated, at least a few days in advance. Most game events will run until 11pm EST, and start no earlier than 6pm EST. If this is tricky or in conflict with your schedule, don't sign up. It'll negatively impact the game to make everyone needlessly wait. Unless you're Murmur Twin, then it'll probably win you the whole game, but you'll wind up being a giant butt by doing that.

Weekly Schedule
_{Monday: Challenge

Tuesday: Tribal Council

Wednesday: Challenge

Thursday: Tribal Council}

Rules for the game
The following rules all apply to the game. However, just to make sure that the game isn't thrown into disarray, signing up for this game, you are effectively :toxx:

ing yourself for any rule with a :siren:

in it. Violating these big-time rules will result in a ban. It's not that hard to not cheat.
_{There will be 16 players. Every single player is a survivor. The goal is to make it to the end of the game � standing alone above all other competitors.

Players will be split into different tribes that will initially compete with each other. You must work together, or against each other, in order to be the sole survivor. There will only be one winner.

If you don't have platinum, you're not getting cast. PMs are a required functionality for the game to work.

You are playing for a grand prize! The winner of Survivor will win a $75 Amazon.com Giftcard., with the Runner-Up/Runners Up winning $25. Sharing of this prize/Conspiracy of sharing/splitting/buying another player something with it is strictly forbidden.

Tribal Councils (in which one player is removed from the game) will be held every Tuesday and Thursday. Votes will be taken privately by me (Minoru Suzuki) and later published, anonymously. The player with the highest number of votes will be removed from the game. This will be announced in the thread. During Tribal Council, you may only vote for your fellow tribemates, and you MUST vote. Failure to vote will result in a penalty vote against yourself.

While alive, you may communicate out of thread with anyone that is in your own tribe. You are expected to plot against each other and make alliances and fake alliances. It is not essential to do this though... unless you want to win. If you ignore everyone out of thread, you have a death wish.

If you are voted out, you are not allowed to communicate with anyone alive/on the jury in the game. You may only contact fellow jurors in the Ponderosa page, and only if you yourself are a juror.

You are not permitted to speak with any potential players about the game before it begins. This is mostly to effectively discourage pre-game alliances, and any long-term tainting of the game itself. Please play with SOME semblance of honor to keep things somewhat fair. Don't be a butt.

No bribing other players. You cannot use money or currency equivalent to coerce players to do something. The fact that I actually have to write this rule out is stupid as hell.

When voted out, you are allowed to make only one post as a goodbye message, with a maximum of 100 words. No workarounds/linking to a bigger message or anything cute like that.

There will be individual challenges and team challenges. These will be posted at a time that best suits all people in-thread (usually 5:00-7:00PM EST). Some of these will be timed so you might be disadvantaged if you cannot be around. Some challenges which can have ties will be won by the first person to submit their result.

For the individual challenges, the winner will be rewarded with immunity from being voted out at Tribal Council. For groups challenges the tribes will be competing against each other. The losing tribe will be forced to go to Tribal Council, where they will have to vote out one of their own.

NO EDITING YOUR POSTS EVER!!!! Evidence of editing can result in punishment ranging from a challenge disqualification to a forced removal from the game depending on the severity and frequency. Ninja edits may be ignored but abuse will be punished.

Do not post/send chatlogs in this thread/via PM/note inside a bottle drifted through the ocean/etc. Please do not be a shitbag!!!!!

Mods need to be given access to any communication between more than two castaways. A link to a doc, IRC room, whatever. PM one of the mods (to be picked after cast is finalized) with how to access whatever you're using to talk. You don't need to do this if you are just communicating with a single other person, only if you are at least 3 people talking outside of your tribe doc.}

If you wanna sign up, fill out this >>APPLICATION<< and then post in the thread your interest in playing. The game will be launching August 23. The first challenge will be the 24th. Don't sign up if the above listed schedules look risky in terms of compatibility. Any further questions, do not be afraid to ask in the thread. If you want to co-mod, please shoot me a PM. I'll be taking on 1-2 co-mods, and only offer if your schedule allows for it. Co-mods need to be free from 3pm EST onward, Monday through Friday. You will be rewarded in bagels or a copy of Axiom Verge on steam. Whichever you prefer.

Pander: Oct 9, 2007; 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.

If it weren't possible that work sent me out traveling in the next month (which killed me in AS: Pet Island) I'd totally sign up cause this is an amazing thing.

This is an amazing game you should all play. My combined two games is the best time I've had on the forums and I will remember it quite fondly. It's intense and you make a lot of friends. I would gladly recommend this to anybody.
