CivFanatics Survivor Version 2

Chieftess:

The first half of the game of Survivor is played in teams -- two teams compete against each other for "immunity" in a series of challenges. After each challenge, the losing team has to go to "tribal council" and evict one of it's members. Since this game has 20 players, there will be eight team immunity challenges before the tribes merge and immunity becomes an individual challenge.

In Civfanatics Survivor, team immunity is determined by playing a game (a modified version of Rocks-Scissors-Paper) called Sling-Spear-Shield. Every day at 3PM EST, Archer tallies up all entries and determines a winning tribe. Your primary responsibility in the first part of the game is to submit a weapon (or Weapon of Choice) before 3PM EST every day.

Archer tallies the daily vote seven hours later, at 10PM EST. If you tribe has lost the days immunity challenge, it is (generally) to your advantage to participate in the vote. The daily vote is truly the heart of Survivor... The game is all about forging and re-forging successful alliances. You can vote for anyone who does not have immunity (at this point in the game only the losing tribe in the days challenge can vote or be voted off.) The wise player plans his or her vote along with conspirators.

To play the game all you have to do is to pop in ONCE per day, after Archer has posted the day's immunity challenge results but before the vote. (Roughly, between 3PM and 10PM EST.)

1) See who lost.
2) If your team lost, vote for someone.
3) Regardless of who won or lost, at this time submit your Weapon of Choice for tomorrow's challenge.

If most players log on at that time, it's a great opportunity to conspire on who you'll vote for (via PM.)
 
The key to winning immunity challenges is participation. If your tribe fields more players than the other tribe, you have a significant mathematical advantage.

(However the game does not penalize a tribe for having fewer total members -- Archer should be throwing out Discovery Channel's WoC in excess of EIGHT today, because PBS can only field eight players maximum. The last entries rec'd by Archer are the ones that are thrown out.)
 
But the fact is that smaller tribes are penalized as everyone have to send weapons when in the large some players who don't won't hurt the tribe.

That's part of the game. Smaller tribes HAVE to be better organized than larger tribes to compete, but they are not at a functional disadvantage -- just a practical one.

It simulates the advantage a victorious team has in terms of morale and inertia.

In the last game, a core group of the weaker tribe was a lot more cohesive than the stonger tribe, and they were able to compensate for their smaller numbers. And going into the merger, the adversity they had faced gave them the edge early on. They actually evened the odds before a couple of mis-steps caused the balance of power to shift back in the other direction.
 
A bit wrong Mojo. This go-around, since I don't have as much time, the due time is 3PM EST, but the immmunity challenge is one day and vote is the next.

Now the vote results:
anarchywrksbest 3
Perfection 2
Plexus
Nivi

anarchywrksbest is evicted
 
Sorry about my confusion on that... I should just stay out of it, eh? :)

That makes it easier for the players -- they just need to check once per day, some time after 4PM EST...
