Marathon Survivor (Postponed; Discuss ITT)

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Fri Sep 02, 2011 2:49 pm

Post by Xalxe »

ITT we discuss Marathon Survivor/Big Brother/Mole/Amazing Race/etc.

Spoiler: Original Post
I've gotten some positive responses to my original post, so let's see if this can work.


Image


This game will be a
Marathon Survivor
. Much like a marathon Mafia Game, players will be online for the entirety of the game*. In order to avoid forum breakage, it'll be run on another forum.

Challenges will obviously be live; heck, everything will be. It'll be a fast-paced game that will test your ability to work together quickly and think by the seat of your pants.

I honestly have no idea how long the game will last; it's a brand new format. A sample round schedule would go something like this:

00:00
: Announcement of Challenge; Tribes determine who will sit out.
00:05
: Challenge begins.
00:15-20
: Challenge ends.
00:30-35
: Tribal Council is posted (15 minutes later)

Obviously, times will be fluid and adjusted regularly throughout the game based upon player feedback.

So, if you wish to join,
post the following in-thread
:

/in
When you would like it to start: 12 pm EST, 1 pm EST, 2 pm EST, 3 pm EST** Additionally, let me know any times that DON'T work.
Which of these twists you would like to see added (you may choose multiple): Redemption Island, Hidden Immunity Idols
Which role you would like to be from MBF's Flash Guide to Mafia***

*Please note that some portion of the eliminated players will need to stick around as well to serve as the Jury. Most likely, everyone will be called on as alternates.
**You may conditionally /in; e.g. /in as long as it starts after 1pm, etc.
***You do not get cool powers; this isn't Survivor: Mafia. I just need avatar material for the other forum, and this works well.

/in/

Would like it start around 12 PM EST. Don't want it around 6 PM or later, since my parent might be irritating at those times.
Don't know what exactly is Redemption Island, but I'll go along with it.

I blame you for this.
For I have been awaiting for another heart pounding segment of

You've put it on a tuesday for most of the world so if you're trying to get non-us participation then you suck at it

I definitely did NOT just lose the game. :)

Mist, if he puts it on a Sunday for us, it would be a work day for no one.

Maybe he just didn't want many signups since this is the first running of the game.

No, I...well, I'd explain why it's not on Sunday but it wouldn't make much sense.

Since a majority of people who already signed up seem to be okay with that, I'll move it to tomorrow. PMing people now to let them know...

Also, I'm thinking 12pm EST unless there are major issues with that.
