Forum Survivor Season 4: Blindside Island: Sheep VS Wolves
Introduction:
Spoiler: Forum Survivor is an online series inspired by various shows. More recent games are related more to the TV series Survivor, while the older games draw more inspiration from the Total Drama series. In the game, a group of players are split up into two or three teams. They compete in challenges against each other and the losing team must go to tribal council, where the loser is sent home through a majority vote. At a certain point, the teams will merge and everyone will be competing for individual immunity at tribal council. When only 3 survivors remain, a jury of eliminated contestants vote to decide who should ultimately win the game, receive the prize of $1,000,000, and be crowned The Sole Survivor.
Rules:
Spoiler: I'll keep this short and sweet. The rules are mostly common sense.
1. NO SALT. What I mean by this is stay behaved. Do not do anything you wouldn't normally do in front of a glomod or any other form of forum moderation. Don't spam, use excessive profanity, be racist/sexist/etc. Keep it civil. Do not take a joke or insult further if it's clear the other party is taking it harshly.
2. STAY ACTIVE! I cannot stress this rule enough. Activity is what keeps the game alive. I actually intend to carry out with prods and kicks this time around. If you are inactive for 24 hours, you will be prodded, and subsequently replaced after 18 hours. I understand timezones and irl issues are a thing, but please try to stay as active as possible. If you become aware that for some period of time you will not be able to stay active, let me know and we can work something out.. Inactivity nearly killed (and actually killed) some past games. While on this topic, I encourage you to post in the thread as much as possible. Don't spam it, but post in it with memes or jokes or puns or whatever you feel like saying in regards to the topic at hand.
3. NO OUTSIDE COMMUNICATION unless monitored by me. Secret alliances and all that are okay with me, but they must be in a group DM/PM with me and whatnot. You are totally allowed to form alliances in private and stuff but you must include me. Also, if you are eliminated, you may not communicate game-related information to any of the players. Likewise, players should not communicate game-related information to jurors, judges, spectators, or eliminated contestants.
4. DO NOT SCREENSHOT any conversations that are not entirely public. You cannot copy-paste conversations either, but quoting and referencing are allowed.
5. THE HOST'S WORD IS LAW under any and every circumstance.
Mechanics:
Phases:
Spoiler: The game will generally function in this order:
Announcements: N announces stuff about the game.
Immunity Challenge: A challenge occurs and the winner(s) receive immunity to the vote.
Elimination: Someone is voted off and eliminated from the competition.
The phases will not generally proceed in this order, however, as some things might flip around. E.g, a challenge may be skipped, or there will be a double elimination.
The Final Six and Beyond:
Spoiler: The Final 6 is the LAST opportunity to play an idol or any advantage.
The Final 5 will involve revisiting previous challenges, tribe dynamics, and possibly contestants, alliances, and idols...
The Final 4 Challenge will be some sort of quiz on the eliminated contestants and the game. The winner will receive immunity in the last normal tribal council.
The Final 3 will then appeal to the jury of eliminated contestants. The jury will vote on which member of The Final 3 will win the game.
Immunity Idols:
Spoiler: If someone finds an immunity idol and chooses to play it during elimination, all votes against them do not count.
How do you find an immunity idol? ...That's a good question.
When are idols added to the game? Whenever the host feels like it :3.
ECO:
Spoiler: If there is a tie-vote in an elimination, or if all votes are cancelled out by idols, there will be a re-vote. In a re-vote, you can only vote for the people with the highest votes and the contestants in jeopardy cannot vote. If a re-vote occurs because all votes are cancelled out by idols, you can vote for anyone that does not have immunity and does not have an idol played on them.
If the re-votes result in another tie-vote but the votes in the original tied vote are split between less people than in the re-vote, there will be a re-re-vote with a similar process, and so on. Idols can never be played on re-votes. Also the people tied in a revote cannot vote in a revote.
Once a re-vote yields the same results as the previous vote, the vote will be considered deadlocked. In the case of a deadlocked vote, the contestants in jeopardy will become immune. From there, all other contestants will have to draw rocks from a bag. If someone draws a rock that is a different color than all the other rocks, they will be the one eliminated.
If it is impossible for a re-vote to occur due to circumstances regarding the votes, the vote will immediately become deadlocked.
If at any point, everyone is immune except for one person, that one person will be eliminated. This is unlikely to occur, but it can happen.
Even more unlikely, if everyone is immune in a deadlocked vote, or everyone but one person is immune, (meaning less than one person will draw rocks), contestants tied for the most votes will become eligible for rock drawing and will draw rocks to determine who is eliminated. (Normally there would be a tiebreaker challenge but this will not happen in this case.)
However, if only two are eligible for rock drawings, there WILL be a tiebreaker challenge. This also applies if there are only two members in tribal council.
There should be no scenario in which everyone is immune in a normal first vote. If this situation somehow arises, tribal council will be skipped.
If there is a deadlocked vote in The Final 4, there will be a lightning round of the Final 4 Challenge ONLY between the two contestants in jeopardy.
If the final jury vote ties, the contestants that voted for the survivor with the least votes will have to choose between one of the Final Two to vote for.
If the vote is still tied, then the 3rd place contestant will become a juror and cast the deciding vote for the winner.
There will not be any replacements. If someone becomes inactive to the point where they are obstructing the game, they WILL be eliminated instantly. The only exception is if you know you are going to be away and you inform the host ahead of time regarding the reason and length.
The effects of totems only last on the original vote. If there is a revote any benefits from a totem is lost. Totems can only be played on an original vote.
Idols are lost if the holder of an idol is voted out. Idols, totems, and other items can be given to a player at any point in the game except for during tribal council when votes are being read.
Players are not publicly notified when totems are played, but are publicly notified when immunity idols are played.
In any case not listed here, whether regarding challenges OR voting, the HOST'S WORD IS LAW and THE HOST may determine how the situation will be resolved.
The game takes place entirely on THIS DISCORD SERVER, so if you want to catch the action, make sure you join it!
