Survivor: Superheroes vs Supervillains gameplay and challenge thread
 
This thread will be for rules, challenges and tribal challenge results. It's also a good place to ask questions or to post something that is important. General noise and game chatter should go in the other thread.


Basic Game Play- - Everyone will be split into two tribes. Everyone must participate in the tribal challenge. Most of the time this will a scored challenge. Everyone's individual score will be added together and the tribe with the lowest combined score must face tribal council.

Tribal Council- Everyone on your tribe casts a secret vote through pm to either Swan or myself, depending who is running that particular tribal council. The survivor that receives the most votes is out of the game.

Alliances to stay in the game it is very helpful to build alliances. People that will not vote for you and will help you through the game. The more hidden and secret you can keep your alliance the better. Some people stick to one alliance. Some people try to build them everywhere and pretend they have no other ones. How honest you are in the game is entirely up to you. If you choose not to be very honest , try to keep that well hidden. If people do not trust you they will vote you out.

The Merge after several survivors are voted off and the tribes become smaller, both tribes will merge into one tribe. Game play remains the same except now all challenges are individual. The winner will be safe and can't be voted for. All other survivors can.

Hidden Immunity Idol Occasionally I will announce that an immunity idol has been hidden. Usually, I'll give you clues, but I may hide one well before the first clue is given. If you see this: http://i60.tinypic.com/347wgau.jpg

anywhere other than the Survivor threads pm Swan or I the location of it immediately. If you are the first to do so, you will have an immunity idol. An immunity idol will make it so that any votes cast against you will not be counted. If you have one and think you are in danger of being voted out, you must secretly tell Swan or I in a pm that you are using an idol. This must be done before votes are read. If you have one and didn't play it all votes cast against you will count and you are out of the game. If you feel as you are not in danger of going home you can choose not to use it and save it for later. It is a good idea not to tell anybody that you are in possession of an idol.

The Survivor Trading Card Challenge This one seems to be confusing people so I'll try to simplify as best as I can. At the beginning of the the game, everyone will receive a Survivor trading card randomly chosen for them. The cards will contain the Survivors player pts. The goal is to collect and have those cards with the highest amount of Survivor player pts when the challenge is called. Players will gain and lose points based on their performance in the game.

After the tribal challenges, player points will be announced and I will adjust them. Then the Survivors with the highest challenge scores may force a trade with any other survivor. They will take your card and you theirs.

When a survivor is eliminated whatever card they possessed will go into a discard pile. When that pile is enough for all remaining Survivors to have another card, another one will be randomly issued to them.

The second part of this challenge is to become the Survivor with the highest individual player pts. When the challenge is called either two things will happen. The Survivor with the highest player points will have been eliminated and is back in the game, or if they are still in the game they will call back any other previously eliminated Survivor of their choosing. In a game where numbers mean everything this is very powerful.

+ 5 highest challenge scorer each tribe
+ 5 each member of the winning tribe
+ 15 for playing an immunity idol
There may be mini- challenges and ways to earn points along the way.

- 3 each losing tribe member
-3 lowest scoring member of each tribe

What's a Super-themed Survivor without superpowers? So in this survivor you get two superpowers to be used one time each only. If picked and used wisely they can give you a big advantage in the game.

Each player must pick two superpowers from the list. You can't pick the same one twice. Unless something special happens you may use each power only once. Timing is everything in Survivor so really think about when you need to use them. If you use them too early, you may need them later on. If you hold on them too tightly you may find yourself out of the game with useless superpowers.

Superpowers:

Mind Suck adds + 5 to your challenge score and -5 to the opponent of your choice on the other tribe. After the challenge has been announced, you must announce that you are using this power.

Camouflage One other Survivor of your choice can't see you come time for tribal council and therefore can't vote for you and must cast a vote for someone else. Must be played right before tribal council.

Insight After one tribal council, you can see how the tribe voted. You may use this for your tribe or the other tribe or wait until the merge to use it. Use wisdom when using this power. It may be tempting and fun to blow up the game and tell everyone how the tribe voted, but it's rarely wise. Knowledge that others don't have is a valuable advantage and Superheroes or villains with blabber mouths will lose this advantage.

Freeze This will immobilize another Survivor from tribal challenge through tribal council. However, that Survivor can't be voted off in that council either, but it will cause their challenge score to be zero. This one is tricky to strategize with, but can be very beneficial to your game if used correctly. Cannot be used on yourself and you must announce that you are using it after tribal challenge is announced.

Persuasion You can persuade two Survivors to change alliance and therefore switch tribes. You can use this at any time including right before a tribal council and can be used on self. However, if you do not use it before the merge, it will become useless.

Psychic Ability You will be able to read my mind and receive one extra clue to a hidden idol that will be kept from all others.

I would wait to pick your two powers until after players have been put into tribes. That will happen on July 28th. There will also be an individual award challenge that day, so be around if you can.

This is the last part of the gameplay. Please ask questions (in this thread) the game starts soon and I want you to be prepared.

The ones in bold have played the game before. You are going to be placed in tribes of two. The placement of the tribe has more to do with balance than prior gameplay. Your challenge will be to place the group into two tribes, Supervillians and Superheroes. The person or persons that come closest to how the tribes have actually been placed wins +5 player points and a very special advantage. You'll want to win this.

You have until July 26 8:00 pm eastern time to complete this challenge.

Note: People can still sign up to play but for the purpose of this challenge this is what we are going with.

Re: Survivor: Superheroes vs Supervillains gameplay and challenge thr
 
Do we PM you which two powers we pick and our predictions for the groups?

Godoggo 07-20-14 11:28 AM

I'm just now doing a pm about that. :) You can wait until after the challenge is over to pick your superpowers. It may be wise to wait until you know which tribe your in to pick your power. Especially considering one of the powers. ;)

Godoggo 07-20-14 11:45 AM

I'm Grover. That's my favorite superhero. :) You must not be aware of my fondness for muppets yet. Last Survivor I hosted I was this guy: http://i58.tinypic.com/2r6zl9y.jpg

Re: Survivor: Superheroes vs Supervillains gameplay and challenge thr
 
I just want everyone to know (and yes I am OK with the repercussions) that I am a one person alliance. I will vote out whoever I want to based on whatever whim is tickling my voting funny bone. I am not a loose cannon though, more like a dyed in wool realist. If some mofo dumps my rice out and I go hungry , well then that mofo is gone like the little chaos causing bitch they are.

Just saying. ;)

Pregame play my ass!!!!

TheUsualSuspect 07-22-14 06:46 PM

Re: Survivor: Superheroes vs Supervillains gameplay and challenge thr
 
I want to know how many people put me in villains and how many put me in hero.

Re: Survivor: Superheroes vs Supervillains gameplay and challenge thr
 
I'm quite looking forward to this. I'm insanely busy (mainly with work, and then First weekend of August I'll finally be able to have fun) until this starts so this gives me something to really look forward to afterwards

Godoggo 07-22-14 07:34 PM

Just remember guys. There are two threads this time. One for important posts, like questions and announcements and one for general game chatter.

I think it will help with posts getting buried and make it easier for Swan and I to keep up on pms.

Godoggo 07-22-14 10:39 PM

There is still time, but I've only received 7 challenge answers.

These are the people who have sent in a guess.

Mr. Sparkle
Raul
TheUsualSuspect
Tongo
7thson
Donnie
Optimus

Don't forget and miss the deadline. You'll want every advantage you can get.

I had nothing to go on but I said villain on your forum handle and av alone. Come on, you got The Usual Suspects mixed with Heisenberg (Pretty sure Walt was in Heisenberg mode when making that face)

Re: Survivor: Superheroes vs Supervillains gameplay and challenge thr
 
Godoggo will other people know which superpowers we pick?

Godoggo 07-24-14 01:15 AM

Yep, they will be on your player cards and I will be making a list in here as soon as I have them all.

Oh! Well there goes the element of complete surprise. Maybe we shouldnt know and that way it would have more of an effect when it plays out. You would be the only one that knows everyones powers. I think this is the old pencil & paper RPG gamer coming out in me. :laugh:
