The Syndicate

Role should be sent out!

This is a reminder that there is to be no unauthorized BTSC among players, including PMing.

Cool beans.

I'm waiting on an admin approval for optoutside to come in and join the game and then I'll probably send out role cards tonight.

Day 0 will start tomorrow around 6pm EST, and will probably end a bit later on Sunday.
Just a heads up- because of my hectic schedule and time travel through different time zones, I might be having phases end at around 11p-midnight most nights.

UP AND AT'EM!

1 more person and we can get this thing rolling before the new premiere on Wednesday.

JUST one!!

Which reminds me-

Ties in this game end in drawing rocks. Like it should be..

Though I'm sure Jessica would disagree.

While I appreciate the attitude to sub-in, there will be no replacements in this game. It's an either/or thing, I'm afraid.

That being said, GMan, the game would love to have your antics if you do choose to sign up!

2 more! And I still need to get my gf to sign up soon. She doesn't know shit about this game.

4 more!

I can't say that if you sign up you'll make the Final 4, but you will get a chance to at least make it to the beach!






Maybe.

Well I dunno about that, but I'm currently attempting to organize Scottyette to play. Though she's foreign to thread-based posting.

S~V~S wrote:How many still needed?

Ima say 5. Reserving my gf's spot until she gets an account.

Welcome Wilgyghost and speedchuck!

6 more!!

Is anyone else excited for Survivor: Game Changers?



Resident superfan Golden even did a sweet little preview on his take of the premiere. Check it out here!

It premieres March 8th. Surely we can get this game filled before then! If not, J'tia will dump out all your rice in the fire.

I've crafted these games for the most part to not wholly favor a particular skill set over another outside of the game of mafia, so if it's the games that are deterring you from joining, worry not! The only real requirement is the desire to play

Also looked that up a year ago, and it said I needed to be an approved member to read through it. But I hear from several people it was a blast.

It was. There were two tribes, and the baddies were split between them. I was first runner up (baddie) and tranq won it (civvie), we were from the same tribe. It was one of my top5 favorite games of all time. Super fun.

Except for the LC/BR Recruitment games, that Survivor game was the best game I ever played, even with Tranq yelling at me over those immunity challenges.

That was so much fun, I know I pissed the other baddies off but I was OK WITH tranq winning. I was just happy that I managed to fool him so completely. Those crazy challenges like which plant is most poisonous lol

I will never, ever forget that poisonous plant - does it cause death or sickness or nothing? lolol

I think this game has the potential to be just as much fun.

It will be far less fun for you if you don't sign up!

Thanks for signing up! Look forward to hosting ya!

In my research, I remember seeing a Survivor game you set up in sign-ups from years ago. Did that ever take off?

I don't remember ever making such a game.

Is this not you?

We're practically halfway to full! I expect to see some familiar faces join once Game of Champions gets further along~~

This game will be as laid back or frenetic as you want to make it! If you're nervous to join because you're unsure of the mechanics, just know that everyone is. Except for me. I know the mechanics well.

The question has been asked, and I'll go ahead and answer it here (and edited to original post):

There will be no unauthorized Behind-the-Scenes-chat in this game. You all can preplan however you want before the game starts, but after receiving role cards you may not private message people on topic. There are devised opportunities for BTSC, so fear not, schemers.

Lol oh yeah?
What's your excuse?

I really don't care for LMS games like these. They're not proper "Mafia" games (i.e., informed minority vs. an uninformed majority).

Fair enough

More like being a member of the town in a game with no mafia, but having to lynch people anyway.

The good side is that no-one should accuse you of being bad when you aren't, so you don't have to defend yourself in that way.

The bad side is you will have to vote friends out despite the fact you know they aren't 'mafia' in any traditional sense, but just opponents to winning the game.

I do feel like this style of game is very good for making friends and getting to know people.

Indeed. It's definitely a slight departure from what some might be used to here, but lynching people you must!


I might also mention that there is an element of survival in this game independent of tribal council: Players have a hunger, thirst and energy level that will fluctuate every cycle. If your hunger or thirst level reaches 0, you will be medevac'd from the game (aka ded)

Glorfindel wrote:So just to clarify, there can only be a single winner in this game?

Apparently so. Well, there is no world in which I would even have the remotest chance of winning with such an adversarial set-up. That and having to endure Sig's rabid pursuit of me from the get-go (irrespective of my alignment) makes this a kinda unattractive option for me so sorry, Scotty - I'll pass on this one

Don't be silly Glorf! The facet of this game that is so great is that there is no preconcept or obvious way to win it. Even the greatest characters in Survivor won by playing with integrity and honor to get where they got. Some didn't. But that's the nature of the game!

Think of it as being a member of the mafia in a game with no civilians. Sort of

Either way, no pressure! I don't wanna coerce you into doing something you don't think you'll enjoy

S~V~S wrote:I maybe'd. When you are down to needing 2-3 people, Scotty, let me know and I will revisit.

Thanks SVS!

Well I definitely need 2-3 people.

I also need a few more than that, but definitely 2-3

It's sure to be! You should totally sign up Glorf

This game might be a bit of a change of pace from some of the more recent games on this site.
Infodumping IS ALLOWED. Information is a very important part of Survivor. How you choose to use it is up to you.
Every character has abilities, and the roles will be revealed with each torch snuffed out, but in the meantime it is a CLOSED setup. This is strictly a Last Man Standing type of game, very much like the hit reality show that still rears its beautiful/ugly head 17 years later.

There will be no unauthorized Behind-the-Scenes-chat in this game. You all can preplan however you want before the game starts, but after receiving role cards you may not private message people on topic. There are devised opportunities for BTSC, so fear not, schemers.

I understand many of you have busy lives and can only pop in from time to time. Therefore, most challenges were designed with this in mind to take place over an entire day phase, but note that some may have a regimented start time- usually an hour or two before EoD (This will be made apparent at the start of that day).
You do not need to be an active participant in challenges to win this game, but it may be in your best interest.
