Left Out 3 - Getting to Know You/Auction 2!

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Wed Sep 09, 2015 8:14 am

Post by Jon Kelley »

11 players...

1 winner...

Together, they would normally forge alliances and friendships to guarantee their safety in the house. Each round, they will be saved from elimination by their peers, one-by-one, until one person is...

Left Out!


But this time, there's a twist - how can you forge alliances and friendships to guarantee their safety in the house when you're kept in isolation? How can you determine who to save from elimination amongst your peers, one by one, until one person is
Left Out!
when you don't even know who your peers are?

Welcome to my playground, friends. This is...

Left Out 3 - Left Alone!


Houseguests

1. Houseguest 1
2. Player A
3. Our Fourth Contestant
4. Our Third Contestant
5. Salamence
6. Melanie
7. Coolio
9. Simon who is from a factory and made from a special metal

Left Out

8. D3f3nd3r (Julie from Yorkshire)

The Rules

1a. At the beginning of the first round, there will be a vote - the person who wins the vote will hold the first key to the house during the elimination ceremony.
1b. For all subsequent rounds, the person who was the last saved during the elimination ceremony will hold the first key during the next ceremony.
2. This game will be fast-paced; deadlines will be 24-48 hours for all decisions, so get them in quickly.
3. At the elimination ceremony, the person who holds the first key will select another player to recieve the second key. That person will select the player who will recieve the third key, and so on until one player is Left Out.
3b. The player who is Left Out will have to leave the house immediately, and will become a member of the Council of 9 whom will decide the winner of the game.
4. The process for determining the winner from the final 2 will be kept secret until the finale.
5. Throughout the game, various twists and turns will be implemented. I make no guarantee that these were determined ahead of time because quite frankly this game is as much a madhouse for my own amusement as it is for actual gameplay.
6. If something comes across as unfair, please shoot me a PM explaining why you think it was unfair. I will then compare it to why I intended it to be unfair and determined if you were wrong based off of that.


In order to play, please send me a PM. All communication will be done through me, and you will be assigned a name after the sign-ups have completed.

Welcome, boys and girls, children of all ages, and even the old and decrepit to this, the third season of
Left Out
! Yes, this time 'round we've got a new look, a new twist, and a new host, but the same complete lack of real tangible prize and feeling of pointlessness that you've come to know and love from us.

Without further ado, let's introduce our contestants! Here's the catch - they've all been isolated off from each other, and don't know who the other contestants are - in fact, they don't know who they themselves are because we'll be referring to them as pseudonyms for quite a while. Here's our first contestant now,
Houseguest 1
!

Our second contestant,
Player A
!

Our third contestant,
Our Fourth Contestant
, our fourth contestant,
Our Third Contestant
!

Keeping solid in the MS.net tradition of true anonymity, here's our fifth contestant.
Salamence
!

Contestant number six,
Melanie
!

Our seventh guest needs no introduction and is our special celebrity contestant this year. You may remember him from one of the most important and well-known songs of the 90s, the theme song to Kenan and Kel, it's
Coolio
!

And finally, let's meet our two contestants.
Julie from Yorkshire
, and
Simon who is from a factory and made from a special metal
!

With our contestants firmly in isolation and ready to begin, let's start with
Round 0
! Yes,
Round 0
, because calling it Round 1 would be against the rules. This round has two parts: the first will be called
Introductions
and is very simple.
Our houseguests will each send me a PM containing as elaborate of an introduction as they like
without revealing their identity
. All introductions will be retyped and paraphrased by me for the purposes of genericism. This is your first chance to make a good impression on your fellow players, so please, make it a good one.

The second part is going to be a recurring element, and is known as
The Auction
. Each houseguest has been given 1000 points to spend.
In the PM containing their introduction, they may spend these points in 1 of 3 categories.
The categories this time are:

Communication
Identity
Disruption


These PMs are due by Tuesday night at 10 PM Eastern. Following this round, you will learn your own identities for the first time.

Remember that all redacted information has been replaced by the notes in parentheses. Remember that I told you to not reveal your identity - I will not be removing this information, but be very, very aware that it could be used against you quite severely.

Introductions:

Houseguest 1


Hello. I look forward to playing a wonderful and fair game with you lot. If you wouldn't mind helping me along this journey, I would appreciate it and reciprocate any good intentions. My favorite hobbies are walking around the block in the rain, watching tornadoes hit every house but mine, and enjoying a good (breakfast item). So I wish all of my competitors the best of luck, and when working together I do wish our adventures to be fruitful for the both of us. Thank you all, and have a wonderful day.


Player A


(academic bullshit) If so, what is it? a. Are they trying to describe a phenomenon or provide a mechanistic explanation? b. Are there hypotheses relating to this question?


Our Fourth Contestant


The world began, and I was right in. With advanced sciences and knowledge proceeding with randomized bits of facts or fact-like substances, I arrived at a part of the universe that happened to have had an opposite day happening. I joined the wrong trend, but it all worked out with opposite day actually being opposite of itself. Anyway, I'm here today in hopes of not being (currently ongoing reality show title), but what comes may or may not exist.


Our Third Contestant


No, for my introduction, just say "I'm Salamence. Give me keys."


Salamence


You are all a bunch of (lawn/garden care or fire suppression equipment), and (pet) will have his revenge! Get wrecked.


Melanie


Hi, everyone! I'm a little (gender) from somewhere you know in the galaxy. I like fried eggs!


Coolio


Hello there, sports fans!

I am a big fat sad sack of a human being whose only joy in life is winning this stupid game. Please, let me win this. I'm desperate. I haven't been on a date in years and I can smell the overwhelming odor wafting upwards from the underside of my (genitalia of non-descript gender). If you give me a key and save me, I will absolutely pay you back, because I literally have nothing else to live for. Please don't be responsible for my brains ending up on the wall. Thanks.


Julie from Yorkshire


I am a human being. I enjoy sports, this forum, whatever the hell this show is, and actually being able to talk to people as opposed to being stuck in isolation. I am hoping not to get left out, even though chances are I will be.


Simon who is from a factory and made from a special metal


What is up mate. Here is me.I'll be your loyal mate and (I have no clue what this even is) just get with me and let's ride or die. :cool:


Auction results are also in and I will be messaging the winners of the respective categories with instructions. Once their choices are in, we will enter one last communication phase before our first elimination ceremony.

My apologies, due to a mod error of "I forgot to hit submit", we did not enter the next phase as intended.

During this phase you will have the freedom to send a single message to each other contestant should you choose, which will be delivered upon the end of the round. Submissions should clearly state who the message is going to.

You have until Monday at 10 PM eastern.

It is now time to begin the first
Elimination Ceremony
. The first key, instead of being decided upon by a group vote, will be handed to the person whose spent in any one category in the auction the closest number of points to a randomly-generated number. Our lucky winner is
Player A
, who spent 150 points in a category while the number was 132.

Player A
, please select the recipient of the second key. Remember, there will be special events ongoing during this round that may change the outcome of the game, so choose wisely.

We're down a man and, as you all already know, you have been paired off into 4 separate pods, instead of the complete isolation you were in before. That means it's time for...

Getting To Know You 2 + Auction 2!


Today's prompt for Getting To Know You is
Why you deserve to win the game
. Please submit your answers via PM, they will then be distributed to all other houseguests.

For auction #2, the same rules apply - 1000 fresh points to spend across all categories. The twist is simple - you will be competing in this auction as pods, but there is a benefit to spending
less
than your podmate. Here are your three categories in which to spend your points:

Disruption
Identity
Decisions

Deadline is Friday at 10 PM Eastern. Gogogo!
