Popular Post Couch Posted April 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) Thanks Floriiss for the Banner Hey Folks. This guy is at it again with a new and hopefully fun little event that will feature 16 players and will take 15 weeks from start to finish. 15 weeks is a lot yes, however, only 4 days a week will have you playing for points. The other three will be for discussions between you guys on and off of this thread. Have you ever watched the show Survivor? 16 contestants compete for rewards/immunity from elimination in a chance to be the sole survivor. This Event will be based off that show. Here’s how this event will work: 16 players will enter and be randomly divided into two teams. Those two teams will then have a “reward” round that will help them out in the immunity challenge round. The team that loses the immunity challenge round will go to “Tribal council” and someone from that team will be eliminated. Once we get to the bottom 9, those eliminated after that point will become members of the Jury. Jury members will select the winner out of the final 2. Things that will/may happen during the event: Teams will be split up to avoid a stronghold Secret Alliances will be formed – This is up to you guys. Will you team up with others to go farther? *****Keep in mind this is based off a television event where surprises and twists happen. Just like in the show, there are a couple things planned in this event that will happen to give the jaw drop or awe and shock affect. You've been warned *********** Hidden Immunity Idols - These suckers can be used at tribal council. You will play them after each person is voted if you feel like you will be eliminated. I will ask if you want to use it prior to reading the votes. If it is played the person with the next highest number of votes will be eliminated. In the event of a tie, the person who has had the most votes against them in previous tribal councils will be eliminated i.e. If one player has more prior votes than the other(s,) then they are eliminated. In the event of a second tie, if all tied players received the same number of prior votes, we move to their cumulative point totals across all events held so far in the competition. The player with the least points across all events is eliminated. In the event of a third tie, pray to RNGesus because it's coming down to a RNG. There will be two available from the beginning of the game.Once one is used, it will get hidden again and can be found and used again. They can be used until there are only 5 contestants left. In order to find one, you must do something that is not told to you. Sort of like a hidden trophy if you will. There are four or more un-lockable events to do this. Below are the hints as if you were playing hangman. I did this to show that they will not change during the entirety on the event. More may be added. If you figure out what the hangman is, do what it says and you'll unlock the idol. You can also unlock the idol by accidentally doing what one of these say as well as earning the hint as a reward from a reward challenge. If you have an idol, you don't have to share that info with people. It's totally up to your discretion who you tell. When it comes to using the idol in Tribal council, you can use it on yourself or another person. If you decide to use on another person and you are voted to leave, you will be eliminated. Hint #1 Earning the first platinum as part of the one of the reward/immunity challenges Hint # 2 ___ __ ____ __ ________ __ ___ ______ Hint # 3 Make a reference about Jeff Probst Hint # 4 Bring up Redemption/exile Island Hint # 5 The first person to earn 100 trophies towards an event Hint # 6 _ Mention a former two-time winner in the thread Hint # 7 give/gift a survivor immunity/reward Merging teams – Happens at a random time…once I believe Teams are no longer a good way to play. This will most likely happen halfway through the event. This is going to be a huge time sync and in order for it to be successful, it will require people to respond and sync in a timely matter. If you can’t do either of those don’t even bother signing up. I will look into you’re activity and if I feel you aren’t going to be able to do perform I will not accept you into the event. I want this to be successful and one person letting down the team is all it takes to screw up the flow. Time zone is based off GMT. Scores will be counted day 4 and day 6. Accounts need to be synced by end of day 3 and 5. Immediately following the reward challenge is when the admins will count the scores as day four will be a "break" day from trophy hunting. The reward will be added to the winning teams score at the end of the immunity round. Schedule/layout of a week: Day 1 will be announcements and prepping for reward and challenge round. I’ll tell you what I’m looking for in those two rounds in terms of what trophies will be worth points and whatnot. Day 2/3 – Reward challenge. This will be a two day event. Teams will hunt getting the trophies specific for that round. Accounts must be synched by end of day 3 and the winner will get a bonus towards the immunity challenge. Day 4 - "Break" day - put in for admins to count scores and for teams to "prep" for immunity round Day 5/6 – Immunity challenge. This will also be a two day event. Teams will hunt getting the trophies specific for that challenge and winning team will be safe. Losing team goes to tribal council where someone is eliminated. Day 7 – Tribal council. Teams vote to eliminate a member this day. Once votes are in, I’ll ask about hidden immunity Idol. If someone wants to play it, now is the time. In the event of a tie during a reward/immunity challenge, here are the tiebreaker rules: For team challenges: (tiebreaker 1) team with the most platinums wins -> (tiebreaker 2) team with the highest individual score wins ->(tiebreaker 3) random chance For solo challenges: (tiebreaker 1) player with the most platinums wins -> (tiebreaker 2) player who last earned a trophy wins -> (tiebreaker 3) random chance Note: Not all events will use this format. i.e, a reward challenge that is based on how many platinums are earned, in an event of a tie, the second tiebreaker(tiebreaker 2) rule would be used. Tribal council inactivity: When your team goes to tribal council, you need to alert the admins who you want to vote against at that time. This is a single day event. In the event that a member is inactive at this point, they will get a penalty point at next tribal council. If it happens again, they get two and so on. This means Week 1 if two people don't vote, and 6 do, the person with the most votes from the 6 who did vote will be eliminated. Come next time they go to tribal council, the two that were inactive will have a vote against them prior to the vote that is about to happen.

Alpsmile05 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Hi Couch, I really love your events, the reason I haven't signed up for one of them before is that I don't like to be forced to buy something, I have enough unplayed games already as it is. So if you'd accept me I'd like to participate in this one. I like the concept and want to be a part of this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I myself haven't seen you around here before but I checked out your posts, your rep and I'd be happy to have you. I'm not requiring anyone to buy any games for this event yes, however some of the challenges will require you to have a certain genre of a game. I forgot to mention this in the OP so those who have signed up, if this changes your mind, please let me know. Those genres are first and third person shooters, hack and slash, racing and sports. Again, you don't need to buy them, but if you don't earn trophies when that round comes around, may not be safe. 13 minutes ago, the_name_is_matt said: Seems like this will be interesting and alot of fun I would like to sign up I need to know for sure that you're going to post on this site when the time is needed.

I thoroughly enjoy all of those genres (except sports, but I'm sure I can find something). I can't wait for the event to get started. The banner looks awesome by the way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Like I mentioned in the C2 chat I will decide if I want to join this in late May after the Olympics. For now, a few questions: Can the hidden immunity idol be used on players other than the idol's owner? How involved will the final 2 be? Will the jury get to ask questions/finalists make speeches? As far as suggestions/feedback it might not be a bad idea to swap the tribes at least once prior to merging and doing individual immunity challenges. This is done to decrease the odds of the tribe with the most players at the merge from wanting to pick off the smaller tribe one by one until they are all gone, since they will have alliances and connections with both tribes. An idea for one of the individual immunity challenges: an endurance competition set over the span of the 48 hours. Competitors must earn at least one trophy every hour to stay in the competition. If you fail to earn a trophy in an hour period, you are eliminated. If more than one player makes it to the end earning a trophy all 48 hours, then the winner is the one who earned the most aggregate trophies. The reward challenge for that week could be a mercy period (4-6 hours) where the reward winner doesn't need to earn trophies (hour to be chosen by the reward winner, to help account for time zones or prior commitments.)

Spots are available until they aren't lol A person with an immunity idol can use it on someone else if they please. A great strategy that can backfire on you as well My favorite contestant of all time earned immunity and then played two idols to save his two mates to eliminate someone from a different alliance. Greatest survivor moment in history Imo. Once we get to the final two, that's exactly how it will work. The last week will be the jury asking questions to the final two, final two speeches and then the vote. I have plans in place incase one team is starting to pull ahead as well as at the merge to avoid strongholds. I'm digging your idea there for that round and may use that instead of one of my only games instead genre count weeks. I have all 15 weeks planned out in terms of what is done for reward/immunity rounds but please feel free to add more ideas as it makes it more exciting.

Yeah I know, but I'd rather not compete than be so burned out that I grab 16th place lol. I might feel differently when 14 people have signed up, who knows. I feel like this either happened with Malcolm or Russell Hantz but I don't know for sure Malcolm is one of my favs, Russell not so much. Good to hear, it adds a lot I think. I'll let you know if I come up with anything else, it could also be modified by making it an increasing amount (1 trophy hour 1, 2 trophies hour 2 so on) but I think either way it's sort of a callback to the survivor challenges that are like holding onto poles or balancing on beams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilmFanatic Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Sounds like an interesting event @Couch so I'll be keeping an eye on how it's going. Also just how much do you love counting trophies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MStalker58 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 This looks like it could be fun and I'd like to sign up if possible. I enjoyed the first few seasons of Survivor and I love trophies so this seems to be a perfect mix. I've observed some of your other events but either wasn't invited () or didn't own specific games that were required for the event. Have a decent sized backlog right now so hopefully I have games to choose from for each genre or challenge. Things could get very interesting with a Survivor style event. I'm already looking forward to it. With the likes of @HcG Clawz and @Lucas joining the event, we'll have to keep an eye on the Dutch Alliance. Watch your backs everybody. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AffectatiousDonk Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Who would have thought never having watched an episode of Survivor would come back to bite me. So sounds like a person who scores a lot of trophies, plays a wide array of games, is good at manipulating people into doing what he wants, happy to fling shit at others, can sacrifice anyone at anytime and has an over arching wicked savage sense of humour would fit in perfectly....... will let you know if I meet anyone like that ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My elimination chamber events are always open to anyone, you just had to be willing to put up some money each month for a game. C2 league, CJ and I sent out invitations to certain peeps. We went from 14-15 people first season to 21 this season. I'm assuming season 3 will be even larger. You may get the invite :)p 1 hour ago, xZoneHunter said: Well with this pleb signing up, i guess i have no choice but to sign up as well. Been waiting for an event to kick him off his high horse.
