me. kmd. drench. betch. kloud. xalxe. snakes. shii. jal. ceph. xof. klick. cc. bpc. bbm. bella. zito. shadow. jess. bella. hippy. std.

that's 22 winners. we could totally do an all-winners legends style season for MS at this point.
I know of at least one person on this list that would not play another game of survivor. I really don't think we should limit a All-Stars game to just winners, because there are also a lot of players who haven't won a survivor that are just as good if not better than some of the previous winners.

I like this idea quite a bit. Then again... I came close way too many times for my tastes

can you really call any non-themed game an "all-stars" season when most of the same people play in at least every other game already?

Basically this. This isn't like IRL survivor where returning is a reasonably uncommon thing.

I think the way to do those sorts of themes is as a non-anon where people play as their past characters (i.e., I could play as like Varner or Tien or Penny or J4 or R.E.M. or DILFY)

I think the idea of an all-winners season where the cast list is known but the characters aren't is pretty interesting.

- ID hunting, which already happens, would be a natural part of the game
- Mechanics could be implemented to slowly reveal IDs over time (either flipping eliminated players or allowing people to reveal if they choose or giving out clues)
- It would alleviate the early-game problem of the biggest threats going down immediately but also ease the game towards a satisfying conclusion where people know who they are voting for

I think a better solution to the whole id hunting is just to run it Non-Anon. It worked in the first All Stars, except no one knew who nich was at the time

but if it's non-anon then we're all automatically voting out hiplop first

ehhh i think ID hunting is fun

and also it seems weird to not run it at least somewhat hidden. these are all the big winners of anon games, seems weird to not at least give them cover of anonymity to start

Counterpoint:
As a winner, are you winning because of a certain character that you fake or because you know how to play the game?

Also, wouldn't everyone on the winners list be considered a good player? How do you target one good player over another?

i would say that batwoman and hermione are wildly different games, it's not any one particular playstyle, so the ability to hide behind a character, at least partially, is important for a lot of winning games

also i think multiple time winners will probably have a larger target on their backs: Snakes, Drench, me, Shiidaji, Ceph, hiplop, CC, Betch, Bella.

you could actually probably divide the starting tribes between multiple time winners and one time winners actually given how many repeats there have been

I think you just aren't giving yourself enough credit. You both just said you are not great players but do you honestly believe what the other wrote? I think both of you are good enough to win games and if I knew you were playing, I would actively want to be your friend or find a way to eliminate you... or both.

There isn't a person on that list of winners that I would be surprised to see win an All-Star game.

In fact, there is only one issue that I would be worried about in games like that being non-anon and thats that some people have obvious closer relations then other. People would be pointing out Shadow/Bella quite often or maybe BBM/CC.
