Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

Welcome to
Most of you will already be familiar with the concept of Survivor having participated in previous editions of the game here on Movie Forums, for those who haven’t, the structure is fairly consistent and straightforward: you must survive a series of knockout rounds, through a mixture of challenges and voting, and attempt to be the sole winner. Of course, with votes playing a key part, you’ll need to work together with others and make alliances in order to increase your chances of winning.

For this game the theme will be Election Year, in fitting with the current climates in both the USA and the UK, and the current attitude on the forum. The game will have a very political feel, I hope to see big characters, interesting team dynamics, surprising votes, and lots of other twists and turns.

Below is your first task, it’s a simple one, complete it and you’re officially in the game:

Task One – Create a character

You must submit a character name for yourself to use throughout the game. It is recommended that you incorporate a real life character involved in politics or the global stage, or someone you want to see transition into politics. I'll also accept fictional characters.

Once you’ve decided who you want your character to be, simply post the details in here, perhaps along with a photo and a small description if you want, and I’ll count that as your official sign up.

I am not all that up on politics. But yeah... I am going to have to take Donald Trump.

President TONGO Underwood

"Well here I am coming from my House Of Cards on NetFlix to a ratty forum on the backside of nowhere. If I fell any faster Id need a decompression chamber."

I dont know Rhys lol! Please dont take this the wrong way, but you may be too nice to be a proper Trump. ;) Oy, ask Norah if she'd like to play. She might dig this.

Sergeant Sean Mackey: A tough minded police SGT who can be bought for the right price, or can he.

P.S. If President Sexy wanted to recrop this pic into a better avatar, it would be the first survivor gesture that would mean something to me.

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

I think it's really lame that you people are picking fictitious political characters. I was hoping to see more real U.S. presidents.

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

There aren't many US Presidents that really appeal to me. Whitmore rules all.

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

Yours I understood. And you were the first to do it, so you're excused. The others are too much.

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

This is a very unethusiastic grand entrance for Trump. I am deeply disappointed.

Give Spacey some space! He's in space eating spicy paste! To his right is Kevin Bacon, eating bacon.

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

Swan, you should be Lincoln or somebody. We need more real presidents. I wanna see someone be Bill Clinton. Too bad we didn't plan this out -- someone could have been Bill Clinton, I could have been Monica Lewinsky and Swan could have been Linda Tripp.

What a trip.

Oh geez, I was afraid of this. Ill play Doctor Doom if you want! Im sure Dan can change the theme if this an overall downer. Btw, the role playing parts just for fun and not required.

Well, you need a different picture as a source. How about this:

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

Oh yes, Swan, do it! BE LINDA TRIPP!

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

Back in my day, we didn't need no role playin' in the Survivor games. We played as ourselves. Ya damn whippersnappers...

http://goodereader.s3.amazonaws.com/...ry-old-man.jpg

Don't change the theme on my account. There's always next time. :D

OMG - forget about him (or her - or it, since you just never know these days).

I don't even know who that is, really.

I'm a chair, you person. I feel very under valued right now.

I am not at all surprised that someone on this forum thinks they're a chair.

You only need to ask. I can't be the only one, but I can be the first to come out.

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

I'm expecting any minute that TONGO will come out of the closet and admit that he's gorilla poop.

You dont have to play a President MonnoM. Seans playing a crooked cop, hell you can play Goofy from Disney World as long as you want to play. Or play nothing at all. Fact is the past 3 winners did no role-playing whatsoever.

I'm playing the closest man to myself :cool:

I like the theme a lot Daniel!

Yeah, this is absolutely the best theme to come around possibly EVER.

The idea, at least. The execution with everyone playing bizarre (Britney Spears) and fictitious presidents is very disappointing, however.

I'm assuming you will quit anyways

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

Hes made it 4 hours and counting......

are you trying to tell me Britney will never be president?

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

Maybe I'll change to Hillary Clinton so I can use a private server for my messages, also I'll be a master at deleting them

http://www.movieforums.com/community...1&d=1469294837

President Nixon, what do you think about wearing a Nixon Mask for an avatar? I dunno, I like the goofiness of it.

Would have been funny if I was Trump and TheUsualSuspect was Hillary and I blasted him/her for that reason alone.

He could always be Al Gore.

I mean - Slutsville is always holding elections, so maybe there.

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

If TUS were to play he should just go ahead and play Heisenberg. Even when he was supposed to be The Riddler I was always picturing Heisenberg.

I like it better, what do you think? You're the avatar expert.

I wouldn't offer it if I didn't like it.

He should be J.F.K. just so we could go ahead and assassinate him already.

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

I'll try it out!

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

I'm getting an invalid file message

That's such a waste. People have to roleplay. And they need to be someone political.

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

Might need to save it first

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

I like it actually

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

I'll make you another one if you want. Just in case.

Upon request.

MOFO'S POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT - CICI STEIN

http://nvgreenparty.org/site/wp-cont...jill-stein.jpg

Hello y'all! It's the presidential candidate that none of y'all are voting for is the dark horse for the White House. In order to appear more real and down with the malicious meat eaters voters, MoFo Media hired me to commentate on this game that'll leave you friendless, sexless, and without a chance of ever gaining office again. Which is a good thing for me. :D

But tensions are already being riled up, with George Sexy issuing a statement against a candidate that may not even exist. With this level of animosity before the game has even commenced, I'm betting the funds of my presidential campaign (2 dollars and 75 cents) on several players announcing war with the likes of Switzerland and/or Andorra less than 24 hours in.

However, it is important to note that not all of the candidates have yet been announced. But since I showed up before these people, and I'm not even taking part, I'll be requesting my own private dressing room. I noticed that Hillary has a private one, just like with her e-mails, so I should as well!!

Moving on, I would go through each and every one of the contestants so far, but they're only paying me minimum wage so they can go **** themselves.

I'll be keeping y'all posted on the news when, and if, we receive it.

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

I like that you`ve matched your earring with your scarf and suit cici-so coordinated :lol:

I'm glad we came to an agreement on this matter, it was a grueling trial but I'm here now. You belong in politics, good sir.

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

in 2020 when im president,you`ll be the first one i fire ;)

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

Thank you Ms CiCi Stein ;)

Ok player character challenge count.....

MonnoM as MonnoM (Being we all chose someone that isnt completely popular with everyone, he'll probably win this challenge)

Topsy as President Topsy Spears

TONGO as President TONGO Underwood

Sexy Celebrity as President George W Sexy. I think Sexy Bush woulda sounded better.

Seanc as Sgt. Sean Mackie

Rhys as Rhys Trump. Though, Donald Rhys has a better ring to it.

donniedarko as President Donnie Nixon

rauldc14 as President Raul J. Whitmore

You can refer to me as that if you want, but officially, I am President George W. Sexy.

He was more known as Dubya, so I have to have the W.

And Bush and Sexy are both four letter words.

of course when i post something wrong,the whole site goes offline :lol:

Where's HILLARY CAMOTIN?

Yes, even better.

I knew a pro-wrestler named Bob Cook. He was what youd call a "jobber" in the business, worked back in the 80s early 90s and was in a few WWF, NWA, WCW shows. When a friend of mine started a small wrestling group here in Florida, Suncoast Pro-Wrestling now defunct, Bob doned the Masked Superstar gimmick, and was a bad guy. This seemingly shy quiet man that youd never see speaking to a crowd suddenly became the most outrageously hilarious heel out of nowhere. Once Bob put that mask on, he was On. The guy was a great worker, a super nice guy.

Maybe Rhys can find his inner Masked Superstar. :yup:

It's always the quiet ones who are secretly the biggest loudmouths. When I was in school growing up, I was always asked by people, "Why don't you ever talk?"

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

See. These would be so much better than those dumb fictitious presidents.

Even though I understand Raul picking the Independence Day president.

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

But wasn't Raul already the Independence Day president in ANOTHER Survivor game? I think he was.

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

George W. Sexy is the best.

I want to be George H.W. Sexy. His dad. I don't care that it doesn't have anything to do with my name, or that it will be confusing. If you must, you can call me George J.J. Bush.

Well Im 99% sure Tat and Hit Girl would play if theyll ever show up again to the site. Best to announce the start to these things on a Monday or Tuesday.

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

I want to be JJeb Bush now.

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

Actually, I want to be King Jiroffrey Barotheon

That was clever. I hate giving Camo credit though.

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread

Ok. I am King Jiroffrey. I don't have to be elected.

Yeah, but now you have to act like a little bi...you get the point.

Don't tell me what to do. I AM THE KING.

You going to get mommy to get me under control. Cersei and I have been banging out the details of your reign in the back of the castle.

Bro, unless you are my uncle, you can't bang my mom.

Yes me and the boy King have that in common, neither of us were elected. He seems such a soft choice though as this isnt a game for children. Maybe someone will play his mother. Queen Cersei would fit in here like a foot in a slipper'.

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

When does this whole shebang begin?

No idea. I know itd be ideal to get at least 13 players, I think were at around 10 now. Pretty sure Hit Girl and Tat would want in this. I havent PM blasted everyone like the other times, I did send HG a PM though.

Re: Survivor VI: Election Year - Official Thread
 

I can't believe we're doing another one already. I mean, I had been wanting another one, but now that it's here.... yikes.
