Survivor Theme Interest-Gauging Thread

Post by CuddlyCaucasian »

So PrivateI and I were skyping last night, and decided to make this thread. Basically, we'll give three new potential themes for Survivor games a week, with details about each, and everyone can give their opinions on them. I have to warn you, these are quite possibly the best ideas to ever exist.

Week 1


Accounting Survivor:
Everyone plays as rather unknown but up-and-coming accountants. Tribes initially compete as debits versus credits, while challenges involve such tasks as filling out Statements of Cash Flow or figuring out a company's Days Sales in Inventory. Mod characters include Warren Buffet, Donald Trump, and Merna. Any time there is a twist in the game, the mod post must end with "Bet you didn't acCOUNT on that happening!"

Etiquette Survivor:
Many past villains of former Survivor games are recruited in an effort for them to change their ways. Imagine Dr. Phil meets Survivor! Players will be forced to talk politely, as everyone will be penalized for speaking improperly or with any malicious intent. For every infraction, there will be a public vote for how the player will be punished, with punishments ranging from immediate expulsion from the game to being banned from MafiaScum.

Survivor: The Walking Dead
This is by far the most complex and engaging of our ideas. Imagine Redemption Island, but like, 8 times, man. The game starts out with 2 tribes of 8. The first two rounds of the game play out normally, with an immunity challenge and a Tribal Council for each. But wait... the two eliminated players at that point survive on Zombie Island, and then have a duel, with the winner returning to the game as a zombie. After that, the process repeats after another two rounds. However, zombies cannot be killed as easily as human players; they must be shot with a gun, and only one gun exists in the game, with one bullet. This process repeats with two-round phases followed by Zombie Island duels. Eventually, all players will have been to Zombie Island, so with one zombie dead from the gun, 7 players now remain. At this point, it turns out that 7 of the dead DEAD zombies have decomposed into the ground, and their souls have emerged back to life in the form of plants. The game then runs normally with a tribe of plants and a tribe of zombies, with zombie island being no more. The zombies will all have normal people names, such as Merna, Edith, and Bernadette, to make us all realize that they were once just like us, and maybe we are the real monsters. From this point on, the game will finish as a normal Survivor game, except the plants still cannot find a way to kill zombies. And thus, the plants inevitably get plant-gonged at the merge by the zombies. The zombies then proceed to eat one another and the mods, making the game a moderate success.

I cannot tell if this thread is a hilarious joke or not?

Are you questioning whether it's hilarious, or whether it's a joke?

In either case, yes, yes it is.

Why didn't you just ask SC to move your last topic with the exact same purpose out of the archives? It seems that would have been cleaner than making a new one.
Never be sorry for your little time.

It's not when you get there, it's always the climb.

If the last thread is in the archives, do we care about a duplicate?

My other thread was for horrible twist ideas. This is for my amazing theme ideas!

Homestuck Survivor:

Each player is one of the characters in a 8rand new game of S8ur8. Mod characters could be Cail8orn, the White/8lack King/Queen, and Andrew Hussie. The key point is that each character has their own power. From 8eing a8le to hop tri8es at will (like how John does the windy thing) to controlling others (8est power, just so you know!) or even resetting the game to a previous st8, these are all gamechangers! Don't forget you can always 8e revived 8y using your dream-selves........ at least, until they die as well. 8ut w8! Everyone will 8e using their own typing quirk, and dropping it (even in PM's) will come with a stiff penalty. It'll be gr8! ::::)


Mini Survivor:

It's a completely normal survivor. Except it starts with nine players in the merge phase, and there is never a tribes phase to even begin with.

RAF Survivor:

After each challenge, the losing side plays a round of RAF, and anyone who dies is out of the game. (A redo will happen if nobody dies.) When merge happens, whoever wins the challenge is immune, and everyone else is at the whims of RAF. Last man standing wins.

Rock, Paper, Survivor:

Three tribe start, the rocks, the papers, and the scissors. The first phase of the game goes as normal, but when merge hits, things get interesting. See, a rock player's vote counts for double against a scissors player, but won't count at all against a paper player. (And of course, scissors beats paper but loses to rock, and paper beats rock but loses to scissors.) The merge will play out normally, but the jury vote will ONLY happen if both remaining players are from the same initial tribe, else it's decided by which tribe beats which. (So if it's a paper and a rock left, the paper player automatically wins the game.)

GAME OVER, PRESS R TO TRY AGAIN.

Gotta admit that the board game survivor would be super sweet even though it isn't a Survivor game.

Homestuck needs to happen.
Looking for love in Alderaan places.
