Well this certainly happened

[xRECKONERx]

You seem to say that a lot

[Cephrir]

I could've just said "egopost", but that seemed inappropriate.

[xRECKONERx]

I've played 7 Survivors!?!?

[SleepyKrew]

hahaha I'm literally the worst survivor player
And also very offensive ^_^

[Cephrir]

I'm glad to see some very good newbies join our ranks. I hope they stay around. Zelda was robbed.

[xRECKONERx]

I have to say the newbies impressed me. I hope you're doing okay, TheBreeze! You kicked ass this game.

^ ^ Seconding both of those posts so much

"egopost"

But seriously, great game. One of the most enjoyable ones I've played, especially recently. Love you xof. <3

[ForWhomTheJellyRolls]

Well played Shiidaji and TheBreeze. I really want to play with Princess Toady because for like I week into the merge no one could stop talking about how awesome Zelda was.

[Marquis]

Zelda was robbed.

Zelda screwed up.

[scotmany12]

I've played five survivor games what?

[xRECKONERx]

What was it that spelled out Zelda's death, exactly? I was unclear on that.

Mod Thoughts

This was quite an undertaking and I'm sorry if my short fuse and stress ruined the experience for anyone. I didn't expect to be so overloaded. Huge thanks to Drench & BPC for stepping up big time to help out (as well as the other spectators who popped in from time to time).

I still really liked the tribe splits. If I was doing it again, I would've chosen the opposite way to select tribe leaders (so: the people on each tribe who were MOST liked/wanted to keep around would go to Exile to form tribes). I was slightly disappointed that the new tribes ended up just being basically split versions of the previous two tribes. It's weird that it worked out so neatly where both tribes had eliminated two people at the first swap. I was hoping for more creative choices. I don't think any of the four people sent to exile realized that they were on the bottom of their tribes, so that hurt the tribe selection there.

Challenge design was partially my fault. I wrote everything out up until basically the Final 4-5 challenges, and I guess I didn't review some of the challenge writeups hard enough. Xalxe was responsible for the last bunch of challenges but never wrote them, so most of the challenges were reworked or designed on the spot by me, Drench, and BPC. I understand some people were frustrated by the level of "luck" in some challenges. I still contest that for most of them, there was a level of tactical play / social play there to make up for it, but I understand if some people were frustrated. My philosophy on challenges, being a first-time mod, was way different than most people, so it's something I'll keep in mind in the future (if I ever run another game, which is... highly unlikely).

Klick played an outstanding game. The idol plays were all brilliantly timed and completely shifted game momentum. Eldin's bluff with the Master Sword was fucking legendary (no pun intended), but come on, did people

really

believe I was THAT dumb to make that an item in the game?

Shiidaji's confessionals were a complete joy to read. We had some great characters this game who always made their confessionals and posts fun for the spectators and mods to read. Zito, Shiidaji, Cybele, DeathNote, and Zelda, in particular, stand out in my mind. I'm sure there are others, too.

This was basically taking on a second job for two months. I'm glad I did it just to say I did it, but hoooo boy I did

not

expect it to be as demanding as it was. There were plenty of times I woke up at 3:45AM to messages on Facebook asking me to take care of something. I'm surprised I kept it together, but I'm glad I did, because the end of this game was just epic.

Thanks everyone <3

Zito, give me another appendix! Loved that first one!
