Sim Survivor 3! Fans vs Favorites!

"Welcome to Sim Survivor 3! Do you like Survivor? Do you hate playing challenges, the tedium of building relationships, the stress of having to lie, cheat, or betray? Then Sim Survivor is for you! Create your bot, and then watch him/her/them play it out. I'm T-Probst, let's get started."

Please copy this form and paste it as a reply. This is a game for 20 players. I'm going to give the first 24 hours of sign-ups to players who did not get to have a bot in Sim Survivor 2.1. After that, everyone can feel free to sign up, first come, first served. (you may egopost with an application before 24 hours even if you played last time, I'm just going to populate the game with players who didn't play last time first). Cheery Dog gets an automatic spot should Cheery choose to take it.

DA FORME

Pronoun(s):

(You have 17 skill points to allocate between 7 skills. Each skill must have a minimum of one point and no skill can have more than 5. .You must use all 17 points (can't believe I have to say this).)

Social:
Strategy:

Daily Activities (Split up 100% between these four activities, whole numbers, minimum 0, max 100)

Strategizing:

END FORM


Nuts and Bolts
More details on how certain things work

- There are seven skills, general, physical, endurance, will, mental, social, and strategy.
-
General
is a minor challenge and major camp life skill. Players with high general skills can do shit around camp and do miscellaneous challenge things such as throw a ball or swing an axe.
-
Physical
is a major challenge and minor camp life skill. Players high in physical will have the ability to be useful around camp. Challenges that involve lifting or physical shows of force will benefit from this skill.
-
Endurance
is a major challenge skill. Players high in endurance can go longer in challenges that rely on it but also be able to act more frequently in other physical style challenges.
-
Will
is a minor challenge, minor social, and moral skill. Players with high Will will be able to perform in challenges even when suffering hardships (such as low morale or losing a lot). It also helps in challenges that require deep focus.
-
Mental
is a major challenge skill and minor choices skill. Players high in mental will be good at puzzles, and make better decisions when it comes to voting.
-
Social
is a major camp life and major choices skill. Players with a high social skill will make good decisions regarding alliances and voting, and will be able to make themselves useful around camp even if they have other limitations.
-
Strategy
is a challenge and choices skill. Players high in this skill will be able to navigate some challenges effectively. They will also do well in alliances and might be more aware of proper idol play.

There are also two static statistics that are controlled by the events in the game; threat and morale. There is an addition Camp Rating stat for each tribe.

-
Threat
is the stat that governs how likely the rest of the tribe is to vote you out. The higher your threat the more likely you will receive votes at tribal council. Threat can be gained by performing well in challenges, having a stat that is high (4 or 5), having a stat that is useless (1 or sometimes 2), voting against players, and generating negative results on the camp life or tribal council rolls. Threat can go down by generating positive results or voting out enemies. This stat starts at 1 for everyone and cannot go below 0. As the game progresses threat is easier to generate and more difficult to lose.
-
Morale
is a simple positive, neutral, or negative stat. Challenge wins will help morale, repeatedly losing will tank it. Getting votes at tribal council will tank the morale of low will characters or improve the morale of high will characters.
-
Camp Rating
is a stat rating the effectiveness of camp to keep bots motivated. Bots must build their camps to survive. Initational camp ratings are set by the tribe's general, physical, and social scores. A camp must maintain a standard of living between challenges. Camps with low ratings will have a chance to lower the morale of bots, adding a stat penalty to bots.

Daily Activities

Your bot will have a chance each day to participate in daily activities, based on the percentages assigned to them. The bots will perform these duties before the camp life stage. Each activity has pros and cons.

Build Camp
- Each camp will have a rating that must be maintained by the tribe. A bot building camp spends the day maintaining that rating. A poor camp will result in morale hits for the bots as well as a stat penalty.

Resting
- A bot will spend the day resting. A bot benefits by increasing their morale by one step.

Searching
- A bot will spend the day searching for advantages. Bots increase their chances of finding advantages the more they perform this action.

Strategizing
- Your bot will spend the day strategizing, getting an additional roll during the Camp Life check.

Camp Life

Camp life is randomly generated events between castaways. A roll is made for each castaway detailing whether they have a positive, or a negative, or no result, and if they have a result a roll is made to see with whom that is.
Social and strategy stats minorly influence whether a result is more likely to be positive or negative.
Alliances are also formed this way, alliances will be generated with players each person likes with some exceptions.
One-sided relationships (both positive and negative) are possible.


Challenges

Reward challenges will be static and just randomly generated based on a single skill; whichever team/player has the highest wins.
One of the winners will randomly find a clue to an advantage. This will increase a bots chance of finding one. If a bot finds and advantage, a separate roll will be made on the table to see what advantage a bot finds or if they find an additional clue.
Immunity challenges will have a description, and two or more skills will be the basis for the challenge. Sometimes the highest skill total wins, sometimes there is a knockout format, sometimes there is a race format, each weighted differently.

Tribal Council

There will be limited dice rolls that can have one final positive or negative effects on threat levels.
Players will vote for the player with the highest threat level to them.
Threat level is altered on an individual basis based on relationships and alliances, and tiebreakers will be resolved in the same way.

Things Bone Has Learned

- I've done this game several times (right here!) so I've learned some things. A lot of people's instincts after reading the nuts and bolts is to evenly distribute their bot's skills. Winning bots have had uneven distribution of skills, and even distributions of skills. This is a simulation, stuff is random, and you can't control it. Best to distribute your skills in a fun way. Perhaps in the way you think you'd fair in real life? Or some other crazy thing. Or do it evenly across the board. Whatever.
- All the skills are important. I mean it.
- The rules for good and solid idol play basically doesn't exist. I have come up with a new formula this season, but I haven't tested it. We'll see how it goes. Sometimes players will do good things with idols. Sometimes they won't. Again, whatever.
- I will write flavor for the camp life to simulate relationships. I may or may not incorporate daily activity choices in those descriptions. Your bot may say or do things that you wouldn't do yourself. I'd appreciate it if you would be willing to divorce yourself from your bots' personality for the sake of the game. Otherwise I could just post dice roll results but that probably wouldn't be fun.
- I won't have a consistent updating schedule. Episodes take me about an hour to write, so my free time dictates how often an episode comes out. I'm planning for 1 to 2 episodes a week.
- I'll also provide commentary in this thread and maybe on Discord through out the game. No reason for me to have a ton of Mod secrets (although I won't divulge exact alliance/threat values). I also don't have plans to share my sim at this point.

Please note that I've made some changes to the game (so read up!). A bit more time consuming for me, but I also hope it provides a slightly more satisfying experience.

I will sort of pretend the game is taking place in Finland and will put like Viking flavor on challenges.

I will probably start it towards the end of the week, assuming 20 bots are signed on.

That would give us 20, but I still will give 6 more hours for new players to take spots instead.

So funny story about that, I rolled dice to determine tribes, and the first 7 players (the people who didn't have bots from last season) ended up on the same tribe...so I decided to pivot and just intentionally make that choice.

Third up...

Micc! A victim of ROCKS after a tribe swap, yet another player taken before his time.

Fourth up...

Menalque! An absolute stud in physical challenges, his fellow castmates were too afraid of his prowess and sent him out 5th!

Fifth up...

Aronis! Another victim of tribe swaps, swapped away from allies and sent out as the biggest threat.

Sixth up...

Vash! A member of the historically strong Rochini alliance, was sacrificed when his alliance found themselves in the minority.

Cephrir! Ceph made it to the Final 5 but failed to anticipate the vote and was eliminated.

Ninth up....

Ircher! Considered to be underhanded, Ircher could not win the final immunity to get to FTC.

Tenth up...

Felissan! Felissan made the bold moves to get to the end of the game, but a bitter jury did not reward her with the win.

Eleventh up...

CaptMeme! Despite being a huge presense, CaptMeme took on the role of underdog and maneuvered his way to the FTC, but could not close the deal with the jury.

22 Bots are dropped on a fictional island in the very real Viking Archipelago to compete for another fictional prize! 39ish days, 22 Bots.....1 Survivor!



Rosala Camp Life 1

The tribe comes together to start building camp. Some tribe members put their general camp building skills to good use. Everyone but dsjstr, Datisi, and The Worst contribute to the initial camp build.
dsjstr makes a good impression on Haschel early.
Jumble and Datisi share some light hearted banter by the well.
D3f tries to see if dsjstr will help him collect some wood but dsjstr refuses.
Kanna offers to help GeorgeBailey tie up some thatch for the shelter.
D3f walks by and thanks Kanna for helping with the shelter.
Pabilto gets annoyed when he bumps into Datisi, who is just wandering around camp.
Jumble and Pablito talk while they work on the shelter.
Midway thinks its a little weird that pabilto is doing more talking than working on camp.
Haschel is working on the fire and gets annoyed when Kanna kicks up some sand near him.
GeorgeBailey walks away with Kanna to reassure her about not getting upset right now.
The Worst listens to pabilto vent about the day's activities.
The tribe successfully finishes building camp, but does not achieve fire.

Hitis Camp Life 1

The tribe comes together to start building camp, although Ircher, Aronis, Vash, CaptMeme, and Menalque decide to do other things.
Ircher hangs out with Silverclaw early to bond over the game.
Aronis eyes Ceph as a target after he catches Ceph rolling his eyes at the people not doing work.
Silverclaw realizes Ircher was just being friendly with him to avoid doing work. He goes to ask Ircher to help him with some tasks but Ircher ghosts him.
Aronis feels Xofelf's effort to help build camp are very suspicious and fake.
Vash finds Ircher's behavior in upsetting a fellow tribemate very strange.
Silverclaw finds Cephrir willing to help dig out a firepit.
Micc has a strong disagreement with Reck over constructing the shelter's roof.
Cephrir finds himself agreeing with Reck's plan and offers to help.
Felissan notes that all Aronis seems to be doing is going around upsetting people, and she lets him know.
The tribe builds a low quality camp on the first day and does not have fire.

Reward Challenge Duel

Each tribe will select one player for a duel in a challenge based in part on physical attributes.

dsjstr easily finishes the challenge first and wins reward for his tribe, improving the quality of his tribe's camp.
They select Felissan to be exiled from Hitis.

Rosala Camp Life 2

The tribe's camp quality improves with the reward plus six members of the tribe choose to maintain it.

D3f sees GeorgeBailey walking through the woods and strikes up a friendly conversation.
Datisi thinks that dsjstr is actually a huge threat after that challenge win.
Jumble congrats dsjstr very loudly in camp, and dsjstr thinks they are trying to put a target on his back.
Kanna too feels like the attention dsjstr is getting is a little threatening to her game.
Kanna talks with The Worst about it, but The Worst accuses her of gossiping.
Haschel and D3f compare stories from their childhood.
Datisi strikes up conversation with dsjstr, reassures him that the tribe wants him around.
Pabilto and GeorgeBailey spend some time hanging out on the beach.
Midway advises Jumble that he needs to step back so the tribe doesn't view him as a threat.
Haschel and D3f go off into the woods together and agree to watch each other's backs on this tribe.
GeorgeBailey finds Midway to be a little sneaky around camp.

The tribes' camp quality is bad. Today six tribemates pull together to finish the shelter and improve the camp a bit.
Xofelf and Reck bond over a shared viewing of the sunrise.
Aronis thinks Menalque failed the tribe in the challenge today.
Micc finds Silverclaw to be loud in the morning and is annoyed.
Xofelf and Reck start strategizing together, recognizing they are the best in the tribe at this.

Immunity Challenge #1 - Crate Escape

Four members of the tribe will untangle ropes from a may pole to release keys from the top of the pole. The keys will unlock a large and heavy puzzle piece that the tribe must carry through some obstacles to place onto an empty space on a slide puzzle. Four members will then push around the heavy pieces to solve a slide puzzle to win Immunity.

Felissan rejoins her tribe.
Jumble, dsjstr, Midway, and Kanna hook themselves to the maypole for Rosala.
CaptMeme, Menalque, Felissan, and Reck hook themselves up for Hitis.
The two tribes race to untangle themselves from the maypole.
Rosala takes a small lead unde dsjstr's direction and are the first to free their keys.
Rosala unlocks the puzzle piece just as Hitis gets their keys.
Rosala starts moving the puzzle piece through the course, just as Hitis unlocks their puzzle.
Both tribes move at a steady pace as they move the puzzle piece through the course.
Rosala gets through first and places the block on the slide puzzle. Datisi, Haschel, D3f, and Cheery work on the puzzle.
Hitis comes up and gets their piece onto the puzzle. Ircher, Aronis, Vash, and Micc start working on it.
Rosala has an easier time moving the puzzle pieces around.
Both tribes start to get closer to the solution. Ircher jumps up and down shouting instructions to solve it.
Rosala stays steady as they continue to move puzzle pieces at a faster pace.
Rosala starts jumping up and down...they have solved the puzzle!
Rosala wins immunity! Hitis will face tribal council tonight!

Rosala Events

Rosala is feeling great about the challenge as dsjstr shined, although The Worst wasn't good.
Jumble and Datisi feel relief over not having to go to tribal tonight.
Jumble says they may have misjudged dsjstr.
D3f tells Datisi he thought he did great in the challenge.
Datisi and Midway sit by the fire going over what they learned at the challenge.
Pablito and Jumble start talking about potential alliances together.
Haschel shares a personal story with Datisi while they hang around camp.
The Worst catches Cheery gossiping about The Worst's poor challenge performance.
The tribe settles in for an uneventful evening.

Hitis Events

Hitis is upset at losing again, blaming Cephrir for his poor effort, although Ircher had a respectable performance.
Xofelf reassures Ircher that the tribe appreciated his challenge peformance.
Silverclaw and Vash talk about the vote, said there are bigger targets than one another.
Aronis tries to talk to Vash about the vote, but Vash seems to think Aronis is shady.

Tribal Council #1

T-Probst asks why this tribe of returnees can't build a camp and can't win challenges.
Felissan points out that she thinks certain people are more concerned with game talk than playing Survivor, annoying the tribe.
Silverclaw reminds the group that this game is hard, you win some you lose some.
T-Probst asks who feels vulnerable tonight. Only Silverclaw doesn't raise his hand.

Voting

"You're strong and that's threatening. Sorry." - Aronis
"Hey man, you played too hard and we're just to experienced for that." - Menalque

"If anyone has the hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so."

...

"Alright. The person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes."

The Tribe Has Spoken.

Spoiler: Reason
Really unfortunate for Aronis. He had a higher threat because of his stat distribution, but despite his best efforts he had a ton of bad luck. Over the course of the season I think he really would have benefitted from being the only one with a Social of 5 but just some bad luck on dice rolls put him on the radar for nearly half the tribe. Silverclaw was both friends with Aronis and against Menalque, and Micc was also against him. Menalque was a big threat but didn't have the bad luck Aronis did.

The Tribe Has Spoken.

Spoiler: Reason
Unanimous decision this time. CaptMeme couldn't make inroads with anyone, only had a small relationship with Menalque, and was sent home as the highest threat player. Menalque did a little bit of work to save himself this episode and so his fellow beef boy hit the hay instead. CaptMeme and Felissan had anatagonistic rolls right before tribal and that's why CaptMeme ended up voting Felissan over Menalque. Really unfortunate for Hitis though as CaptMeme would have been the top preformer at the next immunity challenge. But the bots can't know that! So far the vet bots are struggling, can they turn it around?

The Tribe Has Spoken.

Spoiler: Reason
As with real Survivor, if two people have a conflict, they are natural targets for an early boot. Thanks to Midway's and Haschel's hatred of one another, they had the highest threat levels in the tribe. It was even in terms of people who liked them and didn't...but the tipping point was Haschel's close alliance with D3f, who has one of the strongest social games in Simvivor right now. Off the back of that, there was enough to form a majority. Kanna and Datisi dissented, because both liked Midway and did not like Haschel. It was an interesting first boot for this tribe, as unlike Hitis, Haschel and Midway only entered with a threat of 4. Because everyone is so close together, it may not even hurt Kanna and Datisi all that much since both have strong social games. If they get blown out of another challenge though, who knows. Camp penalties are hitting them hard right now, and the last challenge was just a bad draw for them.

Immunity Challenge #4 - Muddy Waters

One at a time the tribe will race through an obstacle course, under a cargo net, across a balance beam, and up a steep slope, and slide down into a mud pit to dig for balls. Once someone finds a ball the next person goes until all tribemates dig up a ball. After all the balls are retrieved the tribe takes turns shooting balls into a basket with the tribe scoring all their balls first wins immunity.

Vash rejoins his tribe from exile.
Rosala must sit someone out, The Worst sits out.
Dsjstr races out against Menalque to start the challenge. Both keep pace as they move under the cargo net, over the beam, up the slope, and into the pit of mud.
Menalque digs up a ball and starts running back to his tribe. dsjstr finds a few balls and tosses them to the side before heading back.
Felissan races out onto the course and Jumble comes out next. Both make their way through the course and to the mud pit. Both take balls that dsjstr dug up and Jumble runs about even with Felissan when they get to the mat.
The rest of the two tribes go out and retrieve balls with Rosala taking a slight lead.
The tribes shoot the balls with Jumble sinking the final shot to give Rosala the win.

Haschel and dsjstr talk about strategy should they face tribal council again.
The Worst notes that Jumble keeps preforming well in challenges and is gonna be a threat.
Kanna and The Worst compare notes about what they think the rest of the tribe is doing.
D3f goes up to The Worst after he finishes with Kanna and they feel things are good.
Datisi watches dsjstr whisper to a couple of people and wonders what he's up to.
Haschel sees GeorgeBailey put something in his pocket and wonders if GeorgeBailey is hiding an advantage.
Haschel takes a peak into GeorgeBailey's bag and The Worst calls him on it so he stops.
The tribe settles in for an uneventful evening.

Hitis Events

The tribe returns and thinks Silverclaw blew the challenge, although Reck was a standout.
Micc, Reck, and Felissan work together to try and improve camp.

Tribal Council #4

The tribe comes in frustrated at losing to the newbies again.
Micc calls out the tribe for being two-faced as he tries to appeals for votes.
Cephrir counters and tells Micc he tried extending the olive branch, which makes the rest of the tribe wonder.
T-Probst asks who feels safe tonight, and Reck nods to T-Probst.

Voting

"I tried and you did me dirty. Oh well." - Cephrir
"I'm more valuable to the tribe than you are, sorry." - Micc

Reveal

"If anyone has the hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so."

...

"Alright. The person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes."

The Tribe Has Spoken.

Spoiler: Reason
Micc just didn't have any friends on this tribe and it caught up with him. He developed a couple more negative relationships this episode and failed the tribal council roll to try and save himself. Just some poor luck for Micc, who had been steadily building threat as a secondary target for awhile, getting a negative relationship an episode. Micc voted for Vash as the 2nd highest threat player on the tribe.

I know I said this before the last episode but get your picks in, I've already finished the immunity challenge, and since we have tribes of 6 currently, it's a little faster to sim camp events.

Also, double elimination episode. You are warned.

Tribal Council #5 - Vano Tribe

The tribe enters in nervous for the vote.
Haschel puts his foot in his mouth when he calls the obvious tribe division.
Reck makes his case for staying in the game.

Voting

"This is my tribe, sorry." - Haschel
"You're a bully and I hope they see that too." - Reck

Reveal

"If anyone has the hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so."

...

"Alright. The person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes."

Spoiler: Reason
Unfortunately Reck and Ceph came down in numbers after the swap. While there was a chance for them, Haschel/Cheery/dsjstr solidified an alliance which was enough to keep the former Rosala in line for the vote. Reck ended up being a higher threat than Ceph thanks to Ceph making a few inroads with the former Rosalas.

Tribal Council #6 Part 2- Norsto

The tribe nods to each other as the votes are revealed. They are given the chance for unanimous consent, but they refuse.
Xofelf grabs the urn to start the re-vote.

Voting

Each voter casts their vote silently.

The tribe has spoken.

Spoiler: Reason
Datisi was the highest threat person coming into tribal, and while the old tribe lines were good for an initial vote, without someone else being as high as him, not every bot had the incentive to go to rocks to save him. GeorgeBailey flipped on a revote since he now has a neutral relationship with both Datisi and The Worst, he doesn't have the incentive to risk rocks unfotunately. Otherwise everyone else voted on old tribal lines.

also curious how ceph was able to make inroads so well iirc i maxed social
It was more the other bots getting positive interactions with Ceph.

Reck bot didn't have any negative relationships, Cephbot just had more positive ones.

Tribal Council #7 - Norsto

The tribe is exhausted when they enter the council area.
Vash says that he thinks this tribe will get stronger after this vote, says he has a good relationship with everyone.
GeorgeBailey counters and says he feels a bit like he's odd and out on the tribe.
GeorgeBailey stands up and walks to T-Probst and hands him his Safety Without Power advantage. GeorgeBailey will immediately return to camp and will not participate in the rest of tribal council.
The rest of the tribe is stunned as they scramble to figure out what to do now.



Voting

"GeorgeBailey you just screwed me over." - Xofelf
"Sorry, GeorgeBailey would have gone tonight, and he screwed you." - Ircher
"I'm voting for you cause I have no choice." - The Worst
"GeorgeBailey just screwed you over." - Vash

Reveal

"If anyone has the hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so."

...

"Alright. The person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes."

Spoiler: First Vote
The Worst


Spoiler: Second Vote
Ircher


Spoiler: Third Vote
Ircher


Spoiler: Fourth Vote
Ircher


The Seventh Person Voted Out of Sim Survivor 3...

Spoiler: Torch Snuff
Ircher


The tribe has spoken.

Spoiler: Reason
As the commentary suggests, GeorgeBailey was about to be sent out 4 to 1...but he knew he was the highest threat and had no choice but to play his advantage. That made it easy for Worstbot and Vashbot, both had better relations with eachother and Xofelf then they did Ircher, who also had the next highest threat in the tribe. Xofelfbot was truly screwed as they were forced to vote out their closest ally because of how the other votes resolved and their good relationship with both The Worst and Vash.

Tribal Council #8 - Vano

The tribe enters in, feeling better now that camp is livable again.
Jumble thanks their tribemates for helping him out getting camp up to standards again.
dsjstr puts his foot in his mouth suggesting that the last vote made this one harder.
T-Probsts asks if anyone feels safe, and Jumble nods when no one else is looking.

Voting

"I hope I'm making the right decision tonight." - dsjstr
"Sorry but you're too huge of a threat and we can't take a chance on you." - Jumble

Reveal

"If anyone has the hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so."

...

"Alright. The person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes."

Spoiler: First Vote
Cephrir


Spoiler: Second Vote
Haschel


Spoiler: Third Vote
Cephrir


Spoiler: Fourth Vote
Haschel


Spoiler: Fifth Vote
Cephrir


The Eighth Person Voted Out of Sim Survivor 3...

Spoiler: Torch Snuff
Cephrir


The tribe has spoken.

Spoiler: Reason
This was actually a closer vote than the results suggest. On the surface we know from the previous episode that Haschel, dsjstr, and Cheery formed an alliance. Still, Haschel has done nothing since but make himself the biggest threat on the tribe. Even with alliances and relationships, Haschel was still the same threat to dsjstrbot and Cheerybot as Cephrirbot was. We went deep into voting logic for dsjstr to realize that voting out Haschel increased his threat more than voting out Cephrir and that's what tilted the scale. Haschel got through this vote on the skin of his teeth. Jumble also dissented because they don't like Haschel and aren't in the alliance.

Hey, next episode is done. If you were on Discord you saw the tribe swap, and I've simmed the rest of the episode.

Pablito wonders why Kanna hasn't checked in with him since she has been talking to other members of the tribe.

The tribe settles in for an uneventful evening.

Vash tries to defend his poor challenge performance but it falls on deaf ears.
Menalque raises the specter of hidden advantages and the tribe sideeyes him.

Voting

"Well, hopefully two times is the charm." - Dsjstr fishes out his extra vote
"Hey man you're shady, sorry about that." - Vash

Reveal

"If anyone has the hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so."

Spoiler: Reason
That was a big blindside. Felissan was behind one threat point from both Jumble and dsjstr but unfortunately a poor relationship with D3f and the way that Jumble had something with dsjstr did her in. Dsjstr had to use his extra vote because he knew was in trouble. Vash and Menalque preferred the high threat Jumble to dsjstr, and Felissan preferred Jumble not knowing she was getting blindsided.

I know that you mean the plural they, but reading this as if GeorgeBailey is telling me personally to get over it is making me cackle.

Tribal Council #10 - Hitis

The tribe is in feeling nervous and expecting a merge after this.
Xofelf tries to make the case that relationships with the other tribe will be important come merge but the tribe does not like this.
Kanna says she distrusts any of her tribemates looking forward to the merge and rekindling old elationships, getting some of her tribemates to roll their eyes.

Voting

"Forget you, go home, bye." - Silverclaw
"I feel like this is obvious." - Xofelf

Reveal

"If anyone has the hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so."

The tribe has spoken.

Spoiler: Reason
Unfortunately Silverclaw had the highest threat and a bunch of bad relationships and that was that. It didn't help that everyone else was doing a lot to make friends with one another. He had no chance once Xofelf found the idol. The tribe got very active right before tribal but it was as if the bots were solidifying their relationships for the merge with one another rather than worrying about the vote tonight. Hella weird. Congrats to everyone who built bots that made the merge and jury!

Immunity Challenge #9 - Uncomfortably Numb

Each castaway will stand on a narrow angled perch while holding onto a handle above and behind their head. Last castaway standing wins immunity.

Vash pulls out his
Immunity Challenge Advantage
and hands it to T-Probst. Vash gets a wider perch to stand on.

GeorgeBailey and Vash duel it out. GeorgeBailey trembles but he keeps his eyes shut and focused. Vash continues to shift uncomfortably from her perch.
Finally GeorgeBailey steps down and drops to his knees. Vash jumps off and pumps a fist.

Unfortunately this is not a shock as tribal immunity saved Jumble last time out. They were just the biggest threat and no one was even close...although eventually Vash inched closer but he won immunity. A lot of tough negative positioning was done for future episodes so we'll see how it shakes out.

Immunity Challenge #10 - Pull Your Luck

Each castaway will be attached to a rope course in shallow water. They must maneuver themselves and several bags of puzzle pieces attached to the rope through the course. Once they get to the end they use the puzzle pieces to build a statue puzzle. First person to finish wins immunity.

Vash rejoins the tribe from exile.
The tribe races out and starts moving through the course with dsjstr and Menalque taking an early lead.
GeorgeBailey absolutely flops going head first into the water while trying to maneuver.
Menalque and dsjstr increase their lead with Cheery moving at a steady pace behind them.
Xofelf slows down and changes their strategy to create more slack in the rope to move around the course. Vash and Haschel are quick to copy them.
The Worst and Kanna fall behind and both are tired and moving slow.
Menalque is the first to get through the course. He unclips and starts untying puzzle bags.
Dsjstr gets right behind him and starts doing the same. He makes quick work of his first bag taking the lead.
Cheery makes it through and starts untying bags.
Dsjstr gets his last bag untied just as Xofelf and Vash make it through the course.
Dsjstr runs to his table and dumps out the puzzle pieces and begins trying to assemble the statue.
Menalque joins him as Haschel and D3f exit the ropes course.
Cheery gets his pieces and starts on the puzzle.
Pablito and Kanna are next to exit the course. Back at the puzzle tables Xofelf and Vash have joined.
Menalque takes down the work on his statue, starting over. Dsjstr tries to make the pieces fit and makes some steady progress.
Xofelf peaks over as Dsjstr and catches up. Haschel and D3f join the puzzle tables.
The Worst and GeorgeBailey get through the ropes course and start untying their bags.
Vash is frantically trying to assemble his puzzle, looking over at his tribe mates and moving through pieces fast.
Haschel has organized his puzzle pieces and starts to assemble the puzzle, making quick progress.
Vash, Cheery, Xofelf, Haschel, and Dsjstr are all there making progress. With the last few pieces it looks like Haschel has a slight lead, but he fumbles with the last two pieces and dsjstr locks it in and shouts out.
His puzzle is correct! Dsjstr wins Individual Immunity! He is safe at tribal tonight!

Norstorano Events

Dsjstr feels good about the win.
Kanna, Cheery, and D3f try to make camp better.
Vash, dsjstr, and GeorgeBailey go out searching for advantages.

GeorgeBailey thinks Menalque keeps doing well in challenges and it is only a matter of time before he goes on a run.
D3f doesn't like how chummy Haschel is with some of the tribe and he could be a threat.
The tribe heads to tribal council.

Spoiler: Torch Snuff
Menalque


The Tribe Has Spoken.

Spoiler: Reason
Bit of a blindside in the sense that Vash started out the episode high and away the biggest threat, then got exiled and had no chance before the immunity challenge to socialize. Luckily for him he avoided any further bad rolls, Menalque had a few bad rolls, and Vash had a clutch good tribal council roll to basically save him from going out 10-1. Vash and Menalque were the only high threat players with Dsjstr immune so they were forced to vote one another. Dsjstr and pabilto dissented because Dsjstr dislikes Vash way more, and Menalque was Pablito's closest ally. A big voting block of 4 decided this one as Kanna, Haschel, Xofelf, and Cheery had no ties to either player or their allies, but ultimately broke for Menalque because it was bad for Pablito, who Haschel does not like.

Also the episode featured a new tweak for the first time, jury management rolls. Randomly jury members can have changes of opinions about the players remaining in the game. You'll see comments like that during Tribal from time to time. Right now for this season this is just a random roll similar to regular camp life rolls. It isn't affected by anyone's stats.

Kanna whispers to Xofelf and asks them what they want to do.
Pablito quizes his tribemates asking who voted for him.

Voting

"Wow. Just, okay." - Xofelf
"Can't believe it, Worsty just pulled a huge blindside!" - D3f


Reveal

"Alright. The person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes."

The Tribe Has Spoken.

Spoiler: Reason
Wow. Sort of a split vote play gone wrong, sort of a shot taken. In terms of the bots themselves, some complicated voting relationships allowed for this split vote. Vash is still the highest threat player in the game, but he is in an alliance with the worst and is the worst's closest ally. Worst is at zero threat, Vash going home would be very damaging to him at this point, it would almost rocket The Worst to the top of the threat list. In character, I'd like to think The Worst was trying to take a shot at Haschel and Xofelf when he learned of the split vote play, but their alliance is too strong and collateral damage happened instead. Vash goes home if his key ally doesn't have an idol for sure. I'm not gonna break down the votes because that'll take too long, but this tribe suddenly got very messy, and we'll see how long obvious boot Vash can weather the storm.

Reveal

"If anyone has the hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so."

The Tribe Has Spoken.

Spoiler: Reason
Wow, big tribal council, lots of moves happening. First, GeorgeBailey 1000% had to win, and luckily this was his challenge. If not, he goes 8-1. Let's get to the meat of the issue, why the split vote? Well Kanna has an alliance with Cheery and is close to D3f, two possibilities on the chopping block. Both outcomes were bad, so she needed a third, Haschel, which a few people, notably her also close ally The Worst, also preferred. Vash will vote with The Worst, and GeorgeBailey is happy to try it. Still, because of this, Haschel along with Cheery and D3f are still high threat. Cheery and D3f played their advantages, and because they were voting for one another, played them on each other. Since Haschel was also up there, that outcome would be bad for Xofelf, so they had to play their idol. Unfortunately for Cheery, Xofelf was also the deciding vote and they liked D3f better (and if you think of it in terms of in-character gameplay, getting rid of Cheery brings Haschel closer to them). Sadly, Cheery was still very important to several players (having formal alliances with both Kanna and Haschel) and this is going to break the game wide open.

Spoiler: Reason
Vash gets an anticlimactic end after all. He was not helped by GeorgeBailey winning immunity again. He also didn't have a great episode while Haschel didn't either, he managed to come out neutral, and as a result Vash was so high a threat no other vote was possible. The Worst dissented because he was counting on Vash being his closest ally. This is not great for him, but as he built another alliance this episode he may be okay.

GeorgeBailey is fondly spoke of by the people he brought with him to reward.
Xofelf and Dsjstr reiterate their appreciation for the gesture and do agree stuff like that matters.

The Tribe Has Spoken.

Spoiler: Reason
GeorgeBailey did a good job at working himself back into the good graces of the tribe, to the point where he now after this vote is the lowest threat player in the game. A far cry to where he was even two episodes ago, but a timely immunity win streak gave him enough time to rebuild relationships. Unfortunately for Haschel he was the least connected of the tribe and it caught up with him as only #1 ally Xofelf voted with him. Dsjstr had to use the idol because The Worst was the highest threat player in the game and his most important ally, even though relationships meant Haschel was getting more votes. The rest of the tribe really likes one another for the most part, so votes are gonna get hard and relationships are gonna sour fast.

Immunity Challenge #15 - Drop A Log

Castaways hold onto a knotted rope keeping a heavy log upright while standing on a narrow balance beam. At regular intervals they must stand further from the log back on the balance beam. If a castaway steps off the beam or lets go of the log they are eliminated. Last player holding their log wins immunity.

The castaways take their positions and hold in place.
After a about half a minute Xofelf drops their log and steps off to be eliminated.
The rest of the castaways stand stoic and finish the first interval.
They are asked to carefully step back on the balance beam to increase the difficulty.
GeorgeBailey fidgets in his spot early but ultimately recovers.
The castaways look at one another as time passes for the second interval.
They are asked again to step back on the balance beam, and while stepping back The Worst loses his balance and is eliminated.
The remaining four watch The Worst take his seat. GeorgeBailey suddenly lets go of his rope, dropping the log as he flexes his hand.

Tribal Council #17

The jury are already seated when the tribe arrives.
Haschel thinks The Worst is the weakest player left in the game.
D3f says this is the hardest vote yet to which the remaining tribe agrees with him.
The tribe talks about the idol play from last time and The Worst plays dumb which does not impress his tribemates.

"Sorry, it's what the tribe wants." - Kanna

That's enough bring me your torch. The tribe has spoken.

Spoiler: Reason
Very down to the wire here. Xofelf was on the outs following Haschel's elimination, but Kanna's great social game this season fell apart as she really started alienating allies and it caused her threat to rise. The only person who cared who was eliminated was Dsjstr who preferred Xofelf. Everyone else liked both Kanna and Xofelf and it came down to personal relationships. The Worst preferred Kanna and D3f preferred Xofelf to stay. GeorgeBailey didn't have a preference and went with his closest ally D3f to force the tie. Unfortunately GeorgeBailey's lack of preference means he wasn't willing to go to rocks so he flipped his vote to send Xofelf to the jury.

The Final 5 is here. Finale Night is upon us.

NEXT TIME ON SURVIVOR

THE FINAL 5 HAVE THE SHOWDOWN OF A LIFE TIME

"I feel like I've been in control this entire game, yeah last night was scary, but if I make it to the end, the jury will see I played the best game." - Kanna

"I've watched many friends go home, but I'm still here fighting for them, and I know I can win this game if I get in front of them." - The Worst

"I am Survivor, I am everything this game requires. I'm making moves, winning challenges, I'll win my way to the end, and no one can stop me!" - Dsjstr

"Whenever I am in danger I find a way to save myself, with no one's help. That's what outwit, outplay, and most importantly, outlast is all about. I'm GeorgeBailey and I'm gonna win this game! - GeorgeBailey

"I have been on the right side of nearly every vote, controlled this game, and never been in danger of going home, and I've done it while never needing advantages or immunity necklaces. The title of Sole Survivor is waiting for me." - D3f

Night 35


The tribe returns to camp in the dead of night for tribal council. Kanna narrates from confessional.


"Not since the early game on Rosala and Stora have I felt so out of control. I was one vote from being sent home. I have "alliances" but it's clear I may not have friends. Not out here. Not when the title of Sole Survivor is on the line."

Kanna shakes her head. Scene shifts to Dsjstr and Kanna standing on the beach in the dead of night.


"That was too close. What happened?"

"I don't know why they voted for you, honest. Just, we have to take him out if he doesn't win immunity."

"Who?"

"GeorgeBailey."

"Yeah."

Dsjstr narrates.


"GeorgeBailey is the only player left I think that wouldn't go with me to the Final 3. So I need to start putting that thought into everyone's heads early."

Sun rises for the next day. The Worst narrates.


"Really weird that D3f went against Kanna. I just feel like D3f is playing for himself now and that worries me."

Shots of D3f stirring rice while The Worst looks on. Then Dsjstr walks up to him and asks to talk.


"Listen, if GeorgeBailey doesn't win today."

"I like him though."

"I do too, but do you want him to go to the end? He's got no enemies on the jury."

The Worst narrates.


"Dsjstr makes some good points, we'll see how it goes. I trust Dsjstr, but I have to play for me."

GeorgeBailey narrates.


"I get the feeling Dsjstr is going around telling people to get rid of me. I just have to put my head down and win though."

D3f pulls Kanna into the woods. D3f narrates.


"I voted wrong for the first time this game and that's on me. But now I need to reassure Kanna that it wasn't personal and shift blame a bit."

D3f whispers to Kanna.


"Xofelf was my closest ally I couldn't vote against them."

"Who told you to vote for me?"

"It was GeorgeBailey."

"Really?"

Kanna narrates.


"I don't know what to believe. I thought I was okay with GeorgeBailey, but now D3f is telling me is what his idea and not D3f's?"

Establishing shots of the island. Then zoom in on Dsjstr and Kanna by the water well.


"D3f told me it was GeorgeBailey's idea to vote me out."

"I think it was."

"Okay but if you knew why didn't you tell me? And if it was his idea, why was he the one to flip on the revote?"

"No I didn't know."

"Then why do you want him out?"

Dsjstr just shrugs. Dsjstr narrates.


"I thought Kanna and I were good, but she's interrogating me and what am I supposed to do?"

GeorgeBailey and Dsjstr are sitting in camp. GeorgeBailey leans over to whisper.


"I've been hearing my name thrown around camp."

"From who?"

"They've been saying its you."

"That doesn't make any sense."

"What do you mean?"

"You and I are the only two left who have won immunity. If you go then they target me. You're my shield."

"That makes sense."

GeorgeBailey narrates.


"I don't believe him. He admits it, I'm his biggest competition, and if I'm gone he thinks he can win to the end."

Kanna approaches D3f and they walk and talk.


"Do you think Dsjstr knew you and GeorgeBailey were going to vote for me? The truth."

"The truth is, yes I think so. I talked to him because that's what I thought they were doing. Honest, that's the truth."

D3f narrates.


"Operation blame anyone but me is working like a charm. Kanna seems like she's more annoyed that no one told her than annoyed that I voted for her."

Immunity Challenge #16 - A Bone to Pick

The Castaways must compete with one hand tied behind their back. First they must assemble a three piece fish hook hanging from a platform. They must then untie bags of puzzle pieces from three stations, and then use those puzzle pieces to assemble a delicate fish puzzle. First castaway to complete the puzzle wins immunity.

- The castaways start working on assembling the fish hook.
- D3f demonstrates the difficulty of this as he assembles the fish hook quickly and watches two pieces immediately fall off.
- Kanna thinks she has a good fish hook and runs over to untie her first bag of puzzle pieces.
- Dsjstr hits the course but is called back when one part of the fish hook falls off as the wind blows.
- The Worst has his hook assembled and runs out.
- GeorgeBailey is taking his time to assemble the fish hook. Kanna unties her first bag and runs back to start putting it together.
- D3f, Dsjstr, and GeorgeBailey run out to go get their first bag of puzzle pieces.
- The Worst comes back with his bag, and knocks the fish hook apart when trying to apply the first pieces.
- Kanna slowly begins adding puzzle pieces to her hook.
- D3f, Dsjstr, and GeorgeBailey start working on the first part of the puzzle.
- Dsjstr knocks his hook trying to add a piece.
- The Worst has some trouble placing his first piece, but just drops that.
- Kanna puts the first pieces on the hook and runs out for her second bag.
- GeorgeBailey has the first part together but is taking time to check the frame.
- GeorgeBailey and The Worst go out for their second bags.
- D3f is frustrated as he knocks down his puzzle pieces and has to start again.
- Dsjstr has a puzzle piece but has stopped as he can't figure out where it goes. He starts pulling pieces off to try again.
- Kanna comes back and works on the second part of her fish puzzle.
- The Worst and GeorgeBailey come in right behind her and start working.
- Kanna stays calm as she tries to work out the puzzle in her head.
- D3f finally gets that first part assembled and runs out.
- Dsjstr looks over to the neighboring puzzles and figures out what he was missing.
- The Worst puts together his second part of the puzzle but the wind causes a few pieces to fall.
- Kanna and GeorgeBailey finish and run out for their third bags.
- D3f looks over to Kanna's puzzle to start assembling his, though he has trouble keeping the pieces on the hook.
- GeorgeBailey unties his bag first with his teeth and comes running back. Kanna is now behind him as she runs back.
- The Worst goes to get his third, and Dsjstr has mostly assembled his second.
- D3f knocks down part of his puzzle again and is frustrated.
- Kanna and GeorgeBailey race to put the puzzle together. The wind picks up a bit and Kanna bodies the puzzle to try and keep it from falling apart.
- GeorgeBailey hangs last piece and steps back, holding his breath.
- Kanna finishes hers...but GeorgeBailey's puzzle stays together! GeorgeBailey wins individual immunity, guaranteed a spot in the Final 4!

Norstorano Camp Life

GeorgeBailey hangs up his immunity necklace on a tree while the rest of the tribe congratulates him. He narrates.


"I needed that. My third immunity win, and now Dsjstr can't get them to vote me out tonight. Now I get to decide who I don't want to compete against in the final immunity challenge."

Kanna and D3f are walking to refill canteens.


"I'm just frustrated D3f, that feels like the third challenge now where I was so close to winning only to have one of those guys beat me."

"You've been good, I haven't come close in many challenges."

"I just think I don't know. He's (Dsjstr) won, and he's been close."

"Yeah we'll think about it."

D3f narrates.


"I think I'm in an okay spot. No one sees me as a challenge threat. Now, I have a good relationship with Kanna and Dsjstr. Do I want to get rid of challenge threats, jury threats, or the guy who I'm not sure where he's at?"

Kanna and The Worst are in the woods talking.


"You okay? I know you wanted to win Kanna."

"I'm just really upset cause I feel like I'm a target."

"Don't feel that way, we're all targets at this point. Only 5 of us left."

"Yeah."

The Worst narrates.


"She's nervous, I'm nervous, we're all kinda nervous at this stage. Who knows what will happen tonight?"

Dsjstr and GeorgeBailey are talking.


"I swear to you dude, I need you here, I wasn't going to target you. The moment you don't win, they target you."

"You think so?"

"I know so. They wanted to do you and then me. We're too good at challenges. My only way to the end is with you."

Dsjstr narrates.


"Plan A is toast. Now I need to convince GeorgeBailey that I need him in this game. Whatever it takes, or I could be sent packing tonight."

D3f approaches The Worst.


"I wanted to see where your head is at. I feel like we're the swing votes tonight."

"I know, I like both of them. But he's a challenge threat still, but she's a jury threat."

"You think so?"

"I know I already have so many enemies on the jury, how am I going to make my case when she's got friends?"

"Yeah, but if he wins."

"I don't know. I'm just thinking about winning this game."

D3f narrates.


"Worst brings up a good point, do I want to sit next to someone with friends on the jury? But on the other hand, can I guarantee I get to face the jury if I don't win? I think I'm about to make a million dollar vote tonight, and I don't know what I want to do."

GeorgeBailey puts on his necklace and the tribe grabs their torches and heads out.

Tribal Council #18

The jury takes their seats opposites the castaways. T-Probst turns to address the castaways.


"GeorgeBailey, do you feel good about having that necklace tonight?"

"Yes, I think if I didn't, I would see four GeorgeBailey's tonight."

"Dsjstr is that a fair assessment?"

"No, I don't think so. There's a lot to consider with this vote. Yes, he wins challenges. But is challenge winning all the jury is taking into account? I think the jury also has friends left in the game. So even though we both have won challenges, that may not be enough to impress this jury."

"Is that a plea, because you're the only other person left in this game who has won immunity?"

"Yeah it's a plea. But I don't think I'm wrong."

"Kanna, does that resonate with you at all?"

"No, not really. I've been close on challenges but never won thanks to these two."

Kanna points at GeorgeBailey and Dsjstr.


"And the three of us haven't won either. So we're vulnerable."

Dsjstr sits up to address T-Probst.


"Right, they've been vulnerable and are still here. I think the jury looks at that and sees that as a plus."

"The Worst, what do you base your vote on?"

"Both of them make good points. I want to win an immunity challenge, but I also want to win in front of the jury."

D3f raises his hand to speak.


"I agree. And I have to think whether I get a chance or not depends in part on the next challenge. I don't know what the jury will respect. But I think you have to demonstrate that you got yourself to the end. Having immunity wins is one way to demonstrate that."

"With that, it is time to vote. If you have any advantages, tonight is the last night they can be played. GeorgeBailey has immunity, he's not giving it up. You cannot vote for GeorgeBailey. GeorgeBailey, you are up."

Voting

"You're a tough dude, and I think if I want to win, you need to go." - GeorgeBailey
"I'm sorry, I really like you, but the only way I can get to the end is by letting you go." Dsjstr
"You're a huge threat and hopefully the others see it." - Kanna
"Sorry." - The Worst
"With this vote, I hope I'm not costing myself the title of Sole Survivor." - D3f

D3f sits down. T-Probst goes and gets the urn.


"If anyone has a hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so."

The tribe looks at one another.


"The person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes."

Kanna
stands up and watches their torch get snuffed.


"Good luck guys."

Kanna
walks off as T-Probst addresses the remaining castaways.


"Well you've made your decision. The question is, did your decision cost you or secure your place in the finals? Grab your torches, head back to camp, good night."

Night 37


The tribe is walking back to camp in the dark, D3f narrates.


"It was a tough decision. I think I can get by this vote whether I win or not. Kanna has friends on the jury, she would have a good chance to win if I was sitting next to her. I just gotta get myself to the end now."

The sun rises and The Worst and D3f are laying in the shelter.


"I think if GeorgeBailey loses today we send him off."

"And if he wins?"

"I don't know, Dsjstr and I are close, he saved me with an idol, but there's a part of me that wonders if I can beat him in the end."

"I get you."

D3f narrates.


"Maybe I have to hand it to The Worst. He's thinking about the game, I thought for sure he wouldn't even consider voting on Dsjstr. Still, Dsjstr can't win or I could be in trouble."

Dsjstr approaches The Worst and they talk a walk down the beach.


"So I'm thinking you and me are guaranteed to sit together. We can take D3f with us unless GeorgeBailey wins, but I think I can beat him."

"So we just vote one of them two?"

"Yeah, why would we do anything else?"

The Worst shrugs. Dsjstr narrates.


"No, no, we've been together for a long time. Why is he doubting this plan? What other vote could The Worst consider?"

GeorgeBailey approaches The Worst.


"Hey, what do you think we're gonna do tonight?"

"I don't know, I want to wait for after the immunity challenge before I make a decision."

"Why, are you considering me?"

"No. I mean I'm considering all options."

"I had your back man when they tried to vote you out."

"Yeah but so did they. This is hard, okay?"

D3f and Dsjstr are sitting by the fire.


"Hey D3f, is The Worst acting weird to you?"

"What do you mean?"

"He wasn't sure what he'd do if GeorgeBailey won immunity."

"That's weird?"

"Yeah. Like we're voting him out right?"

"Right."

D3f narrates.


"Whoa, what does he mean he's concerned about what The Worst would do if GeorgeBailey won immunity? Does that mean he'd vote for me?"

GeorgeBailey narrates.


"I need to get D3f on my side, just in case I don't win immunity today."

"Listen, I don't know what the other guys have told you today. But flat out, I won't vote for you no matter what. We can control the votes D3f."

"Interesting proposition. Can I think about it?"

"You can. I'm not going to hold it over you. Zero chance I vote for you tonight, you decide what you want to do with that."

GeorgeBailey pats D3f on the shoulder.


D3f approaches The Worst and pulls him aside.


"Hey, Dsjstr told me something weird today. Were you two talking about voting for me if GeorgeBailey wins?"

"I mean, he said that to me. But I said I wasn't sure. He just thinks it's a given I'm going to vote with him."

"Are you?"

"I'm going to make the decision by myself. He played an idol for me, and won challenges, are the jury going to respect me?"

"Okay, that makes sense. Thanks."

Final Immunity Challenge - Gimmie Three Steps

"Come on in guys. For today's challenge, you must race through a course to unlock three stages of a giant tower. To unlock the first stage you must swim out to your colored buoy and dive down to retrieve a key. You will use that key to release a stair puzzle that must be assembled. Once you get the stairs assembled you can retrieve a key on the first level of the tower. That key unlocks a small chest that is buried in the sand, which contains a ball. The ball must be guided through a mechanism to drop a ladder to the second part of the tower. On top of the ladder is a key for a chest out on a floating platform. Swim out and unlock that chest to get a bag of puzzle pieces. Bring the puzzle pieces to the top of the tower and assemble a three tiered tower puzzle. First castaway to assemble the puzzle correctly wins immunity and is guaranteed a spot in the Final Tribal Council. I know this is worth playing for. Let's draw for spots and get started."

- The challenge starts with Dsjstr racing out ahead into the water and swimming out well ahead of his tribe mates.
- Dsjstr reaches the first buoy and dives down while his tribe mates continue to swim out to the buoys.
- Dsjstr unties his key in one go and starts swimming back.
- D3f reaches his buoy and dives down to untie his key.
- The Worst and GeorgeBailey arrive and start working on the key.
- Dsjstr runs up the beach and unlocks his stair puzzle.
- D3f goes down a second time but does release his key. He starts swimming back.
- Dsjstr flips the pieces around trying to find out which steps they go on.
- The Worst is unable to get his key on the first attempt and dives down again.
- D3f arrives at the steps while Dsjstr makes progress on the puzzle.
- The Worst starts swimming back with the key while GeorgeBailey continues to struggle in the water.
- Dsjstr gets the last step in and climbs the stairs to untie the key.
- D3f looks over and quickly finishes his stair puzzle. Dsjstr leaps down the stairs and runs to the sand pit.
- The Worst walks up the beach and starts working on the stair puzzle.
- Dsjstr hits the sand hard and starts moving mounds of sand, and quickly finds his chest.
- Dsjstr is running back up to the tower while D3f starts digging for the chest in the sand.
- GeorgeBailey has the key and starts swimming back.
- Dsjstr runs up the tower and starts guiding his ball through the mechanism.
- The Worst completes his puzzle and starts heading down to the sand.
- GeorgeBailey walks up the beach and we see D3f has finally dug up his chest.
- D3f unlocks it and grabs the ball just as The Worst hits the sand.
- Dsjstr gets the ball through the mechanism and releases the ladder. He climbs the ladder and grabs the key, and then carefully climbs down the tower.
- The Worst digs up his chest, and D3f starts guiding the ball through the mechanism.
- Dsjstr swims out to the floating platform.
- The Worst starts guiding his ball through th mechanism.
- GeorgeBailey completes his stair puzzle and starts walking down to the sand pit.
- Dsjstr retrieves the puzzle pieces and starts swimming back.
- D3f releases the ladder and gets the key. He starts heading out for the puzzle pieces.
- Dsjstr and D3f pass each other on the beach.
- The Worst releases his ladder and gets his key.
- GeorgeBailey starts slowly digging through the sand.
- Dsjstr starts working on the tower puzzle.
- D3f has his puzzle pieces, and he passes The Worst in the water.
- The Worst arrives at the floating platform.
- Dsjstr is struggling with the puzzle unable to figure it out. He starts systematically trying out puzzle pieces.
- D3f climbs the tower and unties his puzzle bag.
- The Worst swims back and walks up the beach with GeorgeBailey, who had just found his ball.
- D3f and Dsjstr are working on the puzzle together.

Norstorano Camp Life

The tribe congratulates Dsjstr when they return to camp. Dsjstr narrates.


"Yes! Yes! I'm never taking this necklace off! I just won my way into the Final 3, and I think I won this season! Three immunity wins, finding an idol, I have the biggest resume for sure! Now, I have to decide what move is best for my game!"

The Worst narrates.


"I'm really disappointed that Dsjstr won. I think I will have a harder time getting the jury to respect my game when they see that Dsjstr played an idol on me. But, he's been my closest ally this game so I gotta make sure we're cool."

The Worst and Dsjstr are talking.


"Great job man. Final 3, how do you feel?"

"I am still in shock. It's been a long game."

"Yeah. So...I just wanted to ask...D3f told me about the conversation you had with him this morning. Are we good?"

"Yeah, why would he tell you?"

"I don't know. You know I'm voting with you."

Scene shifts to Dsjstr coming up to D3f.


"Hey, did you tell The Worst about our conversation this morning?"

"No, did he said I did?"

"Yeah."

"I didn't."

Dsjstr narrates.


"I don't know who I believe. Makes me wonder who I should trust tonight."

GeorgeBailey comes up to D3f.


"Hey, just wanted to let you know, I'm keeping my promise. I wanted Dsjstr, but I can't. But I'm not voting for you."

"I appreciate it."

D3f narrates.


"Looks like I am still the swing vote here. I could force fire-making, or I could vote him out. I'm just not sure what is best for my game."

The tribe grabs their torches and heads to Tribal Council.

Tribal Council #19

The jury watches as the castaways take their seats. T-Probst addresses them.


"Dsjstr congrats on making it to Final Tribal Council. You'll get to make your case to them tomorrow night. How do you feel?"

"I feel amazing. I felt like I've had a big target on me all season because of my physical prowess, and it's such a relief having this around my neck and being certain I am getting a chance to win."

"So now that you're in the Final Tribal Council, what decides your vote tonight?"

"I have to figure out who I have the best shot against. I think these three have played great games to get here. I'm looking over at the jury and trying to decide who is their favorite, so I vote them out."

"D3f, do you think you are the jury's favorite?"

The castaways chuckle.


"Don't put that on me, heh. No, I don't think I am. I haven't won anything, and I've pretty much voted for every one of them to put them there. I think someone who has won or has friends on the jury is a bigger threat than me."

"Are you then referring to The Worst and GeorgeBailey?"

"Yeah, like Dsjstr, I am trying to figure out who I want to sit next to."

"The Worst, does that sit well with you? It sounds like D3f doesn't think he's in trouble."

"I think he thinks he's in trouble, we all are. But we also have to make a vote to try and win this game."

"GeorgeBailey you've won three immunities, concerned that you have a large resume and will be voted out?"

"I am concerned. But I would say to my tribe mates is that I can't win a challenge to win final tribal council. So you shouldn't take my abilities to win challenges as a threat anymore."

"With that it is time to vote. Dsjstr has immunity, not giving it up, you cannot vote for Dsjstr tonight. It's time to vote."

Voting

"You played a great game but I need to sit against people I can beat now." - Dsjstr
"Don't sell yourself short, you have a great chance to win this game which is why I have to vote you now." - The Worst
"I think you're too well liked by the jury, great game." - GeorgeBailey
"I think you're my biggest threat left to get jury votes." - D3f

"I will go tally the votes. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes."

"

Everyone laughs while they waves and exits tribal council.


"Congratulations, you've made it to Day 39. Tomorrow night, that jury, nine people you had a hand in voting out, will decide who wins the title of Sole Survivor. Grab your torches, good night."

Day 39

The sun rises. D3f comes back from tree mail with a basket full of food.


"Day 39 feast!!!"

D3f narrates.


"We voted out GeorgeBailey last night. He won challenges, and he didn't have a lot of enemies on the jury. I think it was the right decision. Now I need to convince them I played the best game."

Dsjstr cracks open some eggs and starts frying them. He narrates.


"I think I won this game. I just have to make my case to the jury. I won challenges, found advantages, made alliances, I've played a really good game.

The Worst raises a mimosa to toast to his tribemates. He narrates.


"It's going to be a fight tonight. I think I'm up for the challenge. I didn't get to the Final 3 because I played a bad game, I played a good one. I've been thinking about it since last night, what do I say to convince the jury."

The tribe burns the camp in a giant bond fire. They grab their torches and head for Tribal Council.




Final Tribal Council

The final three arrive and take their seats. Then the jury enters and takes seats opposite them. Moments later, T-Probst comes in with the voting urn.


"Worst, Dsjstr, and D3f, congratulations on making it to final tribal council. You have gone as far as you can go in this game. But we're not done. Now the power shifts to the jury, nine people you all had a hand in eliminating from this game. Here's how this will work. In a moment I will give each of you an opening statement to make your case as to why you should win this game. After that I will give the jury a chance to ask you questions to help determine their vote. Tonight, you want to have your name written down. I will give you a moment to gather your thoughts."

The three castaways look over at the jury in silence.


"The Worst, let's start with you."

The Worst stands up and addresses the jury.


"Thank you. Jury, you should cast your votes for me to win the title of Sole Survivor tonight. I played the game the right way to make it to this point. I made alliances, I never turned my back on any of my friends. If you're not as fond of me, I get it. I voted you out because we weren't working together. In that I never lied to you. I played an honest game, I played a game in which I voted out my threats, and that's why I'm sitting here. I love you all and hope you understand that if I voted you out it was to advance my game and it was nothing personal. Thank you."

No one on the jury reacts to his speech. The Worst sits down and T-Probst points to Dsjstr who stands up.


"Jury, I believe you should crown me Sole Survivor tonight. I have done everything you can do in this game. I won individual challenges. I found hidden advantages. I voted correctly more times than both of my remaining tribemates. And I did those things while being a huge threat. Every time I needed to win, I did. Every time I needed someone voted out, they were voted out. I feel like I've played the most complete game tonight and have earned your vote to win. Thank you."

Kanna shakes her head while listening to the speech. Vash and Cheery both seem intrigued. Dsjstr sits down and D3f stands up.


"Thank you. Tonight I think you should name me Sole Survivor. I played a game in which I was never in danger. At no point has anyone ever cast a vote against me, nor was I ever in danger. I didn't need to win challenges to keep myself safe, I didn't need someone to play an idol for me to keep me safe, I was never in danger, and always in the know. At every point in this game you all came to me for my vote, because you knew I was in control of this game. I am sorry if anyone felt betrayed when they were voted out. But I think I played the best game of Survivor and I look forward to earning your votes. Thank you."

Haschel appears to be intrigued by this speech. D3f sits down and T-Probst addresses the jury.


"Jury, you've heard their opening statements. Now it is your turn to address them. Kanna, start us off."

"Thanks. Congrats you guys on making the jury. I have no hard feelings and my vote can be won. Can you each tell me the best move you made this game?"

She points to The Worst.


"When I flipped the vote to eliminate Haschel. I know Dsjstr used his idol on me. But I didn't need it. I already did the work of securing the notes, and Dsjstr didn't know so he played the idol. In that sense I also flushed an idol."

She then looks at Dsjstr.


"I think saving you to take out Xofelf was the best move I made. They had a lot of friends on the jury so we couldn't risk them getting any further."

Kanna nods and smiles and then looks over to D3f.


"I don't think it would be fair of my game to name one move. I was the swing vote quite a bit all game, especially once we got down to the end, because I made myself the most important person left in the game."

Kanna smiles and thanks the jurors.


"Vash, please address the jury."

"Worst, can you tell the jury who was the strategist in your partnership with Dsjstr?"

"It was me. Dsjstr was good at challenges, but his poor social game required him to win those challenges to get here. I had a great social game and I think more often than not he was following my lead."

Cheery furrows his brow.


"Thank you."

"Haschel, please address the jury."

"D3f, why did you blindside me?"

"I'm sorry. I was really close to Xofelf after the merge, but I knew how close you were to them too, and I wanted them to view me as their number 1 ally."

"Thank you, no more questions."

"Alright, Jumble, go ahead."

"Hi guys. I've watched every tribal council since my boot. Dsjstr, can you give me a reason why I should respect your game over the others?"

"D3f didn't really do anything. D3f says he was never in danger because he was in control, but I think he was never in danger because he wasn't a threat. The Worst was really my ally and did what I wanted."

"Okay...thanks."

Jumble sits down and T-Probst points to Menalque.


"Hey guys. D3f, I guess I'll give you the same chance to answer Jumble's question. Why should we respect your game over the others?"

"I think Dsjstr is wrong, because plenty of people in this game weren't threats but ultimately went home. I didn't go home because of how essential I was to everyone's game. That's why no one wanted to vote me out because most everyone felt they needed my vote."

Haschel nods his head and Menalque sits down.


"Pablito you're next."

"Thank you. Worst, I think it's only fair that you get to tell the jury why we should respect your game the most."

"I don't think I was ever in danger either. I had a few solo votes cast against me this game. But I think I received those votes not because I was playing a bad game, but because I was playing a great game, making moves, and really driving the action of the game. That's why when I received votes this game it was usually from the person being voted out."

The camera pans to Xofelf who scratches their chin. Pablito nods his head and sits down.


"Xofelf, you're up."

"Thanks guys. Worst, you voted me out and D3f didn't. Why should I vote for you to win anyway? And then D3f, when I got voted out you were on the wrong side of it. Why should I believe you were in control?"

Xofelf points to The Worst.


"I'm sorry I had to vote you out. I had to vote most people out."

D3f clears his throat.


"I think we tied the vote on your elimination, and at the time you were so important to my game I was willing to go to rocks for you."

"Thank you both, I have a lot to think about still."

"GeorgeBailey you are up."

"Hey congrats guys. I just want to know from each of you whether I could beat you if I was sitting next to you."

He points to The Worst.


"Yes, that's why I voted you out."

Dsjstr turns to him.


"I think I played the strongest game and would have beaten you easily."

GeorgeBailey turns to D3f.


"I have to say you were a threat to my jury votes, I don't know whether you would have won but I think you're sitting there because I felt I had a worse shot against you."

"Thank you."

"Cheery, close us out."

"Dsjstr, can you elaborate for the jury what you mean when you say you've played the most complete game?"

"Yeah. So we know I've won challenges, I'm the only one left who has. I'm also the only one of us to find any advantage. That was a big part of my strategy this game. I didn't just look for advantages so that I could have them, but if I had them, then I knew where they were, and that helped my social game. My strong challenge game and advantage finding game allowed me to play more aggressive. I wasn't cautious and I didn't play this game passive. I think both of them played passive honestly."

"Thanks, that's all for me."

T-Probst stands up.


"Jury, thank your for your questions. Everyone, thank you for a great season. Jury, now is time to vote. You are voting for a winner tonight.

I have lots of thoughts and such that I will reveal about the game in time, hopefully tomorrow. Plus I can try to look back and answer why things happen the way they did or why things were written the way they were.

First off, if you were a finalist and I didn't capture your real voice, I'm sorry. Please don't read too much into it.

Second off, this shouldn't have taken me 10 months and I apologize. There were times that I let the game slip away. I need to be better and will be in future editions.

Finally. In addition to all this Finale writing....

I have finalized the mechanics to adapt this as an LSG. I'll be looking for A) players who actually want to play a social game where bots do all the non-social stuff and B) A co-mod who is experienced with doing the production side of things. The game is ready to go minus production stuff that I need help with. If there is real interest in this game as an LSG, and interest in helping me, then it'll be coming to an LSG Queue near you in the near future.

That's it for now.

Ah I see.

Then I would say that the game would be similar in philosophy but different in execution. It would adhere relatively closely to what is seen in Simvivor bot wise.
