Since people take the Survivor ELOs seriously for some reason, I decided to come up with a new system to honor a different type of Large Social Game that probably shouldn't be included with Survivor: challenge-based games. The criteria for a game to fit into this system are loosely as follows:

1. The game qualifies as a Large Social Game. Usually some social element is involved, whether that means voting people into elimination, choosing who is safe from elimination, or multiple challenges with social politicking as a primary skill.
   
2. The primary method of elimination is through challenges, rather than being voted out.
   
3. There are generally 2 or more challenges every round of play, but this doesn't necessarily need to be true.
   
4. The winner(s) at the end of the game is determined through a challenge.

At the moment, the games included in the player ranking are , , and . Players are given dollar amounts in each game based on how many rounds they lasted, with larger prize pools for larger games, and poker distributions of prizes, generally.

Challenge Circuit Rankings

If there are any games I left out, please let me know! I feel that challenge-based games are underrepresented in the queue, and I would love to see an increase in them.

I'm not last hooray

what about the first half of MLS

I was gonna say...

I can't wait for World Cup to join this!

I think Mario Endurance should also be on the list of games this fits

I was very back-and-forth about Mario Endurance, considering how the elimination "challenges" are all just rock paper scissors. I guess they don't have to be skill-based challenges though?

Each of the The List games too, maybe? I think that ends with a challenge.

EDIT: And RSX

Around half of the RSX rounds had people being voted out unfortunately, I wouldn't quite count it here

Does this mean cutthroat is coming soon

If Genius Games were ever run it would fit here.

I need to see if Lady L wants help with that...

The Genius would absolutely fit here!

Also I should probably go make an announcement about Cutthroat ty

Pokemon Arena 1 perhaps?

it's a very niche market

Yeah I momentarily forgot that had a FTC.

(Can we please get more games like this though?)

That's what I'm hoping for with this thread!

Klick being first is not surprising

I am not 7th place at this. Nope. Nope. Nope.

you're that high becauseyou're one of 2 people that played in all 3 games that have been listed there.
and the majority of players have also only done 1.

It was a long time ago, but wouldn't Gypsy technically count here? I remember the end was a challenge, but I don't remember how it worked. It was Ani's game so I'm sure he can explain better.

It was basically tweaked RAF where one side had an AI thaf did damage but was dumb.

That's a great call actually, xof! I'm adding it to the ranking.

It was Monty's first game while he was still Monty

I know, I entered him in as PrivateI anyways though

wouldn't the Endurance game i ran count as a challenge game

Yeah I think Endurance qualifies, my only gripe was the Temple of Fate being essentially rock-paper-scissors, but I think Endurance fits the rest of the criteria well enough to make up for that.
