2017 in Review--Discord: Congratulations RECK!

Post Post #0 (isolation #0) » Tue Dec 26, 2017 1:27 pm

Post by PrivateI »

Five hundred miles west of the coast of Samoa sits an island untouched by civilization. For millennia, this mystical place has sat undisturbed--until now. As our group of castaways venture into the jungle, hacking away at vines and creating a trail for people to follow in their wake, they quickly tire in the stifling heat. After an hour-long trek, they stumble upon a cave. The opening is only wide enough for one person to squeeze through, so the group quickly elects a representative. That person squirms through the gap, then opens their mouth to scream but there is only silence.

In the cave sits a stone obelisk, smooth to the touch, and glistening as though it was freshly polished. Mists swirl through the cave and a bright light shines from just beyond the obelisk. A calm voice speaks, seemingly from everywhere and simultaneously nowhere: "Welcome to Ghost Island. Recorded here are millions of years of records. And which year is it for you now?"

Julie Chen looks up at the obelisk. "What is this? Who are you?"

"Which year is it for you now?" The voice is more insistent this time.

"It's...it's 2017." Julie's face falls as she remembers the past year. The high hopes for the BB19 cast, and then the crushing disappointment that many of them turned out to be. The antics of Raven Walton, a southern hypochondriac, and the pot-banging shenanigans of Josh Martinez, the eventual winner. But everything in that year seemed overshadowed by the "veteran" who returned to the game, Paul Abrahamian, a former fan favorite player. Julie shuddered as she remembered his downfall at the very end.

"2017? Fascinating. What a very...intriguing year in your human history. The beginning of the end, some would say." The voice softly chuckled. "You're in luck. We've planned something quite exciting for you. Go out and rejoin your group now. And enjoy your time on Ghost Island!"

"Wait, what is this place? What do you mean, 'beginning of the end'? How will I--"

The voice interrupted: "Julie, enough. Leave this place. And remember...expect the unexpected..."

_____________________________________________

Friends, it is my pleasure to invite you to an adventure like no other--The 2017 Year in Review Discord Extravaganza! This game will feature elements from Survivor: Game Changers, Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers, Big Brother Season 19, Big Brother Canada Season 5, and The Amazing Race Season 29. Additionally, it has the potential to feature game mechanics, twists, or other design elements from every single Large Social Game run on Mafiascum this year, including the following: Survivor: Nexus, Big Brother: Summer of Spookz, School Survivor, Survivor: MLS, Skype-vivor: Names Are Memes, Survivor: One World, Anonymous Survivor Survivor, The Challenge: Cutthroat, Survivor: Civilization, Tontine, Allocate/Execute II, and The Genius.

This Year in Review Game is open to anyone with Internet, and with Discord. While you CAN play exclusively on your phone, I would strongly encourage having a desktop connection of some sort if you wish to play.

Please feel free to sign up below, and do so quickly! I'm going to have to put a hard cap at 24 players to allow me to plan a little better, and I'd like to have at least 16 play in order to fit as much fun and joy and excitement in as possible. Additionally, once you sign up, please message me on Discord (my Discord handle is MontyWhittaker#6697) to "lock in" your spot, so I don't have to worry about finding everyone last minute.

As always, feel free to direct any questions or concerns my way. And if you have any particular twists or mechanics from 2017 that you want to be remembered in this Year in Review game, send those suggestions my way, either via pm here, or by messaging me on Discord!

Unless like a lot of people get free schedules in the next few hours, we're probably going to reschedule this for a different time.

All right. Let's bring this back.

A 2017 Discord Extravaganza is coming your way soon, and YOU get a say in when it is! I am wiping the sign-up list and we are starting over.

This game WILL be played entirely on Discord, which I am STOKED for. Get excited, sign up, and vote in the poll that will hopefully be at the top of this page soon!

With that, there are enough /ins and /maybes to keep us stocked with a full game! However, there is still PLENTY of time to sign up. The exact date is still TBD, but based on preliminary polling, will either be in April or May!

As far as I know, no dates will conflict with that date. For now, I'll tentatively plan to run TWO games, one on April 13-14, and one on May 25-26, each with the same "theme" of 2017, and people can feel free to play in both!

I'm ok if it's a little vague, as long as we can get roughly 16 people there each game. We'll start at 8 PM EDT each night, per the poll, and go for several hours, but no more than five, each night.

If you can confirm to me, either privately or in this thread, whether you'll be available for one or both games, I'd REALLY appreciate it! It'll help in planning challenges and such.

2017 Year in Review--A Discord Extravaganza is changing dates.

Because Rick and Morty Big Brother will be starting on April 13, it will be imprudent to hold a live game that night, because so many of the potential players/spectators of that game are the target demographic of this game. After conferring with one of the moderators of that game, and trying to work things out with my own schedule, I've decided to cancel the first game.

No game will take place on April 13-14, however, a consolidated game will happen May 25-26 on Discord! I encourage you to sign up, and to have a blast with us on that Memorial Day weekend!!

I'm pretty sure there will be no elements which require a call, though as always with these live games, fast Internet can sometimes be an advantage! But only in challenges and stuff, basically.

Sounds great!

Just as a sidenote, if you're not sure if I would know who you are on Discord, be sure to hit me up so I don't miss you on game day! It's clunky, but my handle is MontyWhittaker#6697. I'll try to find a link for it eventually.

I'll be setting up spec access, yes. One of the many advantages of doing this on Discord rather than Skype.

Also, we are less than a month out! 30 days from now, roughly half the game will have played out, and part two will be about to commence. If you want to be in for this, there's still time to join!!

With just two weeks to go, I'm very excited to tell you that my planning document outlining both challenges and twists for up to 24 people is finally completed. You missed out on a chance to see a sneak peek! Check back in next time!

I forgot to emphasize this earlier, but if you can only be available for one of the two nights, just let me know, because it's likely that someone will be in a mirrored situation, and can replace you/you can replace them.

Today is FRIDAY and one week from today, you will start the adventure of a lifetime!

I'd like to invite you to check out the sign-up list in the first post. If you don't see your name there and it should be there, please let me know! I lost some people when we did the conversion of the dates several weeks ago.

NOW here's some BIG NEWS! Since it's Friday, and it's double the excitement of most days, I'm going to DOUBLE the GIVEAWAYS! I have two pictures of the planning document ready to give out to you, I can still only give away one per person! These offers, however, have expired.

In addition, I have EVEN BIGGER news! At some point this weekend, I will be hosting a small-scale practice game on the unofficial Mish-Mash Discord, located here. This game will feature some ACTUAL challenges from the Year In Review game next week! This surprise game could happen at any time, so join the server now!

The surprise game is over, and we have a winner. The game was full of excitement, with Redemption Island coming into play 2.5 times, and rocks being drawn each of the last three rounds, at the Final Four, the Final Four, and the Final Three. But ultimately, by a vote of 4-3, McMenno became the pop-up game winner! McMenno's record includes being voted out second and coming back into the game at Final Three, I guess.

Indeed. They strongly recommended I not share it, since it's such a Game Changer (TM). Here's what I'll do, as a compromise. I'll set a firm time limit on this--ten hours. If I get ten messages from at least ten different people with the message "ShowMeThe$", I'll share this superb sneak peek, otherwise, I'll follow my lawyers' advice. Good luck!
