The Banhammer Family is proud to present Season 1 of Survivor: ForumWarz!

CONTEST OVER. EPISODES COMING (HOPEFULLY) SOON

Log in to see images!

Can you outwit, outpwn, and outlast your competitors to be awarded the title of Sole Survivor? And the Exclusive E-Peen™ that goes with it?

If you’re interested, please fill out the sign-up sheet below and TM it to me, your host. EIGHTEEN people will be selected to play, based on criteria known only to me. Only ONE alt per person may apply, and I will be having a mod check this. And don’t feel you have to apply with your highest-level alt to get in!

Some details:

To participate in this game, you must be willing to leave your current klan for another klan(s), potentially for the full run of the season.

The season will run until it’s over. Some challenges will be 24 hours, some will shorter, some will be longer, and I haven’t done the math yet. Plus player (and host) availability will change. Expect at LEAST a month from when we start until a winner is determined.

Depending on your progess, participation in this game will likely disrupt your normal Domination activities, your items and equipment, maybe even your build. In short: If you want to play, your character will most likely change. Don’t apply if you’re not willing to let that happen.

You’ll need to be able to receive tubmails. So if you don’t have Orange, and you’re at your Quota, you’ll have to make some changes.

You must have a public profile. There are things I want to see to help me finalize casting decisions and details on challenges.

This is a competition. You must be able to participate in “the competitive aspects of Forumwarz.” This means if you only have a cheater alt and want to play, you’ll have to uncheat. NO ONE is permitted to buy cheats during the course of the game. We will be checking.

You should probably be dom-enabled as well. You know, just in case. You don’t want to be the vegetarian if there’s a meat-eating challenge.

Many of the challenges will require the HONOR SYSTEM. Obviously I can’t police if you communicate with non-players, make deals to split the final BP reward, Photoshop a requested screenshot, etc. But those aren’t permitted in the real Survivor show, and I’d ask for you to please play this on the up-and-up. Pretend, for all game purposes, that you’re isolated from the rest of the community, except where you specifically need to interact with them (it’ll be clear when that happens), AND that you’re an honest person not using tools to simulate performing an actual task. Don’t talk to players on the other tribe, or voted-out players, either directly or via an alt, about the game. Etc. Anyone found violating this rule will be booted.

Anyone banned during the course of the contest will be removed from play. Think of it as being medically evacuated on the show: Once you’re out, you’re out. If you plan on being banned or pushing the rules to risk a ban, please don’t apply and screw up the fun for others.

For my sanity, I’m going to limit applications to the first 50 submitted. Application deadline is Wednesday 3/17 at 11am server time. Your application should come to me in a tubmail, filled out with the details below, and entitled “Forumwarz: Survivor Application”.

Don’t have the time, interest, or skill to actually play? For a couple of things I have planned, it would be good to have a panel of judges. If this describes you, let me know why you want to judge and what would make you a good, unbiased judge.

What is your normal timeframe for being on the ForumWarz site (use server time)?

Any upcoming vacations/known times off which might impact your ability to play?

What ForumWarz strengths do you bring to the game?

What are your ForumWarz weaknesses?

If you’d be better known to me by a different alt, who would that be, and can I reveal that information to everyone (this is primarily for people who want with an alt that isn’t their main)?

Are you familiar with the TV show Survivor?

Why do you want to participate in this game?

What else should I know about you that you think would help you get cast?

I can vouch that Crotch Zombie will provide an exclusive E-Peen™ to the rightful winner of this contest.

Thanks for hosting, Banhammers, and good luck to all the contestants! This should be fun.

LOL. Or, you’re disqualified because people think I’ll be partial to you.

Guess we’ll have to see how it goes.

————-

For those of you not familiar with Survivor, it’s a TV game show where a group of people are put in a remote spot (often an island) with no contact with the outside world, and minimal, if any, supplies. They’re split into two “tribes”. Each week, the tribes are pitted against each other in challenges. The winning side gets “immunity” which keeps them safe. The losing side goes to “tribal council” where they discuss things, and then vote off one of their own via private ballot.

Eventually the two tribes are merged into a new tribe, and the formula repeats except instead of klan challenges, the immunity challenges are between all the individuals. At the end you’re left with two (in some seasons, three) people left in the tribe.

At some point before that, the people voted off become part of a “jury”. These people get to return to listen to tribal councils. Once the tribe is down to its last players, the jury votes for who they want to win the game.

So the trick is to get to the final two (or three), and then convince people who you had a hand in removing from the game, that you should win it.

SOunds a lot like total drama island, that ****ty show nickelodeon made.

That happens at the moment the tribes merge. Log in to see images!

And only people eliminated from the game after the tribes had already merged will be ones judging at the end.

Welp I really didn’t watch the american versions of Survivor… we have a similar reality here (called “No Limite”, which translates into “On the Edge”Log in to see images! and it’s on it’s 5th season (while Survivor is at 20th and some crap). That was the ruleset there, maybe it’s different for Survivor.

BTW both Survivors in Brazil sucked major bum. They could blow up Tocantins and I wouldn’t care.
