Aronis, mv_gimmick, and Haschel Cedricson present...

It's time to dust off your consoles and smash your bros! It won't take 64 days to see if you have what it takes to survive the melee and brawl your way to the top!

Also, Smash 4.

But seriously, this game is set up to be a 16-player no-holds-barred low-twist game of Survivor! We encourage both new players and veterans to apply. To apply for a shot at being cast, please follow THIS LINK!

Spoiler: rules
{ GENERAL RULES }



{01} This is a game. The main objective is to have fun; so no excessive flaming, spamming, or otherwise being a jerk.

{02} This is a game. The secondary objective is to win.

{03} We are not infallible, so if we make a moderating mistake, please point it out and we will correct it if needed.

{04} We have worked extensively to produce a game that is enjoyed by all involved. As such, we promise to offer each player respect but expect to be shown the same in return.

{05} Super Survivor Bros. is ANONYMOUS. All participants are strictly prohibited from so much as hinting to their own identities or implying another player's identity. If you are talking with other people outside of this forum, you must not state or imply that you are playing in this game. If you are talking with other players on this forum, try not to say anything that would allow people to easily ID you. Communication outside the private message system is also forbidden until otherwise stated. Failure to follow this rule can result in a variety of consequences ranging from a terse warning to one's elimination from the game. We reserve the right to determine the severity of possible infractions.

{06} Exercise common sense. If you are unsure as to whether an action conflicts with the rules, ask. Yes, this is a competition, but do not attempt to undermine challenges or game mechanics for your own gain. This violates both the spirit of the game and common respect mentioned above.

{07} Private communication with players outside of your tribe or eliminated players is strictly prohibited. Any player found in violation of this rule will be penalized.

{08} Any and all posting about this game outside the provided forums unless SPECIFICALLY STATED is illegal.

{09} The posting of Private Messages (whether via text (paraphrasing is fine) or via image) in a public forum is explicitly disallowed. You may, however, post them in your confessional. You are also prohibited from taking a screenshot of private messages and showing them to other players. Forwarding is not allowed.

{10} The moderators may discipline any player that breaks the rules however we see fit, depending on the specific situation. We also reserve the right to implement new rules if needed.

{GAME MECHANICS}



{01} PM's are only to be used for communication within your tribe. All out-of-tribe contact is to be confined to challenge threads.

Immunity Challenges:


{02} Every round will possess an Immunity Challenge. Winners of the Immunity Challenge will be safe from elimination that round and cannot be voted out at the Tribal Council.

{03} The outcomes of all Challenges are final. That said, however, be sure to keep Rule 03 of General Rules in mind.

{04} We appreciate the fact that prospective contestants will enter this game with a range of skills. With this in mind, understand that we as mods can't cater to all players' needs and time constraints in challenges.

Tribal Council:


{05} Tribal Council is where players are eliminated. Before the merge, only the losing tribe or tribes will visit TC, and will vote one player off. After the merge, all remaining players will go to TC, including immunity challenge winners.

{06} Tribal Councils will last 24 hours from the end of the challenge. If a player fails to submit a vote within the given time frame, they will receive a selfvote. In the event that a player knows he or she will be unable to vote by deadline, that player may notify the moderators and cast a conditional vote to avoid penalization.

{07} The results of Tribal Councils may be posted before deadline if and only if all persons involved have submitted a vote.

{08} The modification of votes after they have been submitted is allowed. Players are able to change their votes as many times as they want until the Tribal Council is posted. However, keep in mind that the Tribal Council may be posted early if all players have voted.

{09} If a player has failed to vote three times, the mods may choose to eliminate him or her at their discretion.

{10} The outcomes of Tribal Councils are final.

{11} Questions concerning ties in the Tribal Council may be found below:

Breaking Ties


I. In the event of an initial tie, a revote shall take place. Contestants may only vote for one of the tied players, and all tied individuals may not vote. Reward items may not be used in this revote, but any reward items that have already been played will remain in play.

II. If a majority is not met in the revote, all tied players and immune players become instantly immune and the remaining players will draw rocks for elimination. In a Final 4 TC, rocks will not be drawn, and the tied players will participate in a tiebreaker challenge.

Twists:


{12} Twists will be implemented without warning or provocation throughout the game. The time and setting of each twist has already been determined, so as to neither give an unfair advantage or disadvantage to a player or group of players.

This game will be a 1-stock match, but the sign-up process is a Time Battle that goes until Friday. Then we will make our casting decisions, finalize the avatars and forums, and start the game on the 16th.

We have received a phenomenal amount of applications! We received so many, in fact, we could probably run two versions of the game at once with different casts.

Unfortunately, the listmods will not allow us to do that, and even if they did that would be too much of a workload for the moderation team. So if you do not get cast in this game, please do not take it personally; there simply is not enough room for us to take everyone.

We will get to work casting and making avatars now. Tomorrow we will start sending out PMs notifying players that have been cast, and then another round of PMs containing login info will go out next Friday. Thank you all for showing interest, and we will make our casting decisions as soon as we can.

If you wish to be a spectator, you may still sign up using the application form.

The start of the game will actually be Saturday March 17th. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Right, PMs going out now.

EDIT: That Saturday is the 17th, not the 20th. I know math!

The game has started!

Also, gimmick was kind enough to buy prizes for the top three players and spectators, so be on the lookout for those!

Alright, I wanted to thank everybody for being a part of this game. I had an amazing time running it, and I'm glad that the players had a good time too. This cast was phenomenal. Many of you played arguably your best games ever, and even though the early round was not particularly kind to new players every one of you showed potential to be excellent players. Please play again, all of you.

Kirby rocked this game. Prior to the game starting Klick told me that he was extra motivated, not just by love of the theme but by a desire to show that he could still be the great player he was in the past. He showed that and then some. I am super proud of his performance; his ascension to the pantheon of anon winner is well-deserved.

My moderators both did a fantastic job. Both Aronis and Gimmick modded their first game with me and it was a wonderful, smooth experience. Many of the challenges were designed by one of those two. Aronis gets a special mention for the Loved Ones challenge; that was 100% his idea and the reactions from players, specs, and Loved Ones alike was exactly what we wanted to see. Gimmick also gets a shoutout for the insane amount of work he did in the Spectator subforum. He asked me before the game if it would be okay for him to "run a few things". I said yes, expecting maybe a few fun threads. He turned it into a work of art. I had no idea SP was going to be a thing but I'm glad it was; thanks largely to his efforts the spectators were engaged to a level I have never seen. Gimmick has told me that SSB is to be his swan song, but Aronis, join another modteam right away; you're too good to sit out of the modding game for too long.

This was, with the exception of the Loved Ones visit, designed to be a nice simple game with few swaps. I am very happy with how it turned out. Post-Civ we all talked about how people don't factor in challenge strength in the tribal phase because there are always swaps and twists. This game showed that we can have a low-swap game without a Season Finale pagong; our F4 had an even split of not only Red/Blue, but also NewRed/NewBlue.

Anyway, I could ramble on all night, but the gist of it boils down to I think all of you helped make this into my favorite game I've modded ever. Thank you all.

It has been brought to my attention that the gift cards Gimmick bought can only be redeemed on the US Amazon site, which is a problem since only two of our winners are in the US.

I will see what I can do.
