What is this, I don't even...
That's right. We're going there, All Other Games. Starting May 14, CFC Survivor takes on a reality twist.
That's never happened before! This game will coincide with the next season of "America's Got Talent". Two or more teams will compete for tacky talent dominance as they choose and manage the acts that appear on the program. Should your acts keep going, you secure immunities and special abilities. Should they fail, you expose yourself to potential elimination by your teammates. It's like fantasy football, only somehow weirder!
And you don't even have to watch the show. All results and acts from each week will be listed here alongside in-game results and vote tallies.
Game Proceedings
Players are randomly sorted into two tribes/teams. Each round the losing team of the immunity challenge must vote one of their own off. Players are encouraged to conspire through private communication.
Eventually the survivors join into one tribe/team, still voting one person off each round. When there are just two people left, the previous five or six players to be voted off get to vote for the winner.
This particular game, of course, is different with a concurrent TV show involved. Here's how it works:
Weeks 1-3 (approximate): Team Building and Act Recruiting
For the first few weeks, there will be no votes. This is to allow each team a chance to "recruit" acts that sound interesting/lame/for the lulz by spending an allocated number of points. Each act will also have a special ability attached to it that can impact other parts of the game. Only one special ability can be activated each week.
Weeks 4 onward: Elimination
Each player also has a certain number of
private points equal to the number of players in his team. If a player wants to avoid elimination, he can choose to put a certain number (or all) of those points into an act. If that act succeeds, the points he used will be
deducted from any votes against him/her. On the other hand, if that act fails, that same number of points will be
added to his/her vote total, even if no one voted for him.
Example: The Amazing Tongue Face has made it for six straight weeks. CivCube is toeing the line with his team and could be voted off next round. Since there are 9 players on his team (not including him), he has 9 private points. He decides to put 5 points in Tongue Face, who manages to squeek out for another week. When it's time to vote, the team votes 6-3 against CivCube. Because Tongue Face made it, however, CivCube's actual total is 1.
This is where those special abilities come in. At the beginning, act abilities will be fairly weak (e.g. "Adds half a vote against a random opponent", "Adds one point to available spending pool".) With each week, however, abilities will be made a little stronger (e.g. ("Two points against each player, regardless of team size"). Of course, if an act fails to pass to the next week, then that ability can no longer be used.
Rules will be revised as necessary. If you have any feedback, let me know.
Anyone else?
