Hey everyone play

Hi! It's basically an online version of Survivor.

The basic format for Survivor is like this:

The game starts out with people split into tribes, which then compete in challenges. The winning tribe (s) remain intact for the round, the losing tribe(s) are forced to vote someone from their tribe out of the game.

There are twists that effect the votes, like hidden immunity idols, which are played after all votes are cast but before they are revealed, and cancels votes for that person. There are also tribe swaps and other things that come into place.

After a certain point (usually around 12-9 players left) the tribe phase ends and the game goes individual, with one merged tribe, and everyone fighting for a single immunity necklace in the challenges. Everyone goes to tribal to vote someone out, and only the person with immunity is guarenteed safe.

People form alliances and voting blocks, and either betray each other or stick together. If you're unfamiliar with the show/game, there can be a surprising amount of strategy involved. People talk a lot over AIM to bond and talk strategy. You also get a confessional to post your thoughts in and vote in, ATTWS style.

The basic timeline is a round every 2/3 days:
1. Challenge (live or nonlive: live lasts a few hours and gives results that night, bumping tribal council start to day 1. Non-live lasts roughly 24 hours and isn't as time sensitive)
2. Tribal council begins. Lasts roughly 24 hours
3. Tribal council results posted, announcement of the time/type of challenge is posted

Basic jist though it's that it's a fun game about making bonds and breaking bonds, which ends up with a lot of interesting twists and emergent story. There are betrayals, power struggles, heroes and villains, underdogs, twists, and blindsides.

Here's a recap of one of our best seasons which should give you some idea of how things can play out.

Oh, and around the same point that the tribe merges, the people who get voted out start to become members of the jury. Once the game gets down to 2 or 3 players, the power shifts to the jury, and they get to decide who wins by each casting a vote. So if you're super strategic but a huge asshole, there's a good chance not enough people will vote for you to win. On the other hand, even if you were the nicest person possible, if you have no argument for why you were the best player, the jury might not respect you enough to vote for you.
