I figured someone would try to use that data point but you have to remember I did so by winning immunity six times

in a row

[Cephrir]

I'm not saying we shouldn't do that again though it was definitely fun

I just don't think we should take that to mean newbies have a really realistic chance of winning

There's also Snakes and MattP who are worth bringing up as people who have made standout performances in their first games.

[Flameaxe]

I almost think a fvf that isn't announced as such could be fine. Otherwise I agree wholeheartedly with ceph. (Whoa)

[Flameaxe]

I also don't think looking at standout performances in various games means a lot, if any, to the potential performance of newbies as a whole in a fvf setup.

Pre-ins for #2016 will close tomorrow!

NOT ONLY WILL THEY CLOSE TOMORROW but acceptance rates

will be higher for pre-ins

, at current rates.

PM me and xRECKONERx to apply for a pre-in slot!

[Xalxe]

In all honesty, most games are non-anom for players that are experienced enough.

I've been playing off and on for like 5 years now? And I have ever successfully pegged (or tried to peg) exactly one person, and finding my brother is easy mode anyway.

I don't know what y'all are on, if you're looking for people or what, but I can't tell none of you apart once you put on masks.

[xRECKONERx]

I'm really bad at IDing people who aren't Drench or xof

[MattP]

I feel like Xof, Xalxe, Betch, and maybe Cheery would all be pretty easy over time but Idk

[xRECKONERx]

xof is very easy to ID

[Xalxe]

I'm really bad at IDing people who aren't Drench or xof

okay I forgot Drench/PEG but that's also easy mode

[PrivateI]

I would disagree that most people can anon everyone, really only a few people can tell who a few people are (mainly because xof is obvious)

As someone whose first game was fans vs favorites, I definitely disagree that it's a bad format, I think it actually works better on MS than on the real show. That was Ceph's first game too and he did win

It's worth noting that while, on the show, favourites will have played (to date) a maximum of one time previously, the same is not true of almost any player who would be considered a "favourite" on MS. There is definitely more of an established community, more rife with friends (and rivals), and Summertime was a great example of that.

[xofelf]

I try really hard not to be obvious guys..

[Flameaxe]

Could have fooled us

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Could have fooled us

So mean~

[xofelf]

Could have fooled us

Yeah, that's the intention.

It worked better that one time.. It was only 2 people instead of the whole game. That's good, right? Right...?

[Flameaxe]

Could have fooled us

So mean~

[Points to last two pages of thread as supporting evidence]

[Cheery Dog]

I'm pretty sure I've become obvious to some people, to a point where I believe I've been identified in every anon I've played. (EtU may have been an exception with my early boot there)
I did have some people guess my name on others in live reveals for games I spectated though, seeing that was enjoyable

Go tribe underdogs!

[Shadoweh]

Courtney Dog.

Newbies vs Underdogs vs Finalists, with newbies being anyone who's played less then 2 games and anyone who's been to FTC instead of just winners to increase the pool. What would an Underdog be though? Anyone who hasn't made it to merge? Anyone in between Newble and Finalist?

[Cheery Dog]

Depends on whether or not we want to exclude anybody.
Most players with multiple games under their belt will have made merge at least once. (Other than myself I have no idea how valid this comment actually is)

>winners tribe is suggested
>is not a winner
>replaces winners with finalists

i see u shadow

[Shadoweh]

:p Not every game can attract enough winners to make a tribe out of, I'm just saying.
I'm sure someone has statistics for who's been to FTC without winning and those names probably don't all scream "underdog"

[KuroiXHF]

I'd like to be /in for Survivor, although I have little idea how to play.

[CuddlyCaucasian]

I feel like if we did 6-person tribes it wouldn't be hard to fill at all!

Here's a list of finalists:
Betch
xofelf
Bellaphant
Shadoweh
Flameaxe
Reck
Snakes
Drench
Shiidaji
TheBreeze
DeasVail
CuddlyCaucasian

Brian Skies
Save The Dragons
TS
Nich
Cephrir
Klick
Mist7676
Jal
Nyalite
Chevre
Trevor
Rhinox
Cybele
Xalxe
kloud
Blackberry

Honestly that's way too many people

[Shadoweh]

If you take out the winners aren't you only adding 13 people? It's not that many when you consider how likely 6-8 people on the Winner list are to join a game together, especially after just finishing one. I guess since you'd be soliciting them it's more likely but still. What's wrong with having enough variety to make it an 8-person tribe easy?
