I am considering trying a Survivor type RPG (as in the reality tv show).
It is still just an idea and I am wondering if there would be enough interest to make it worth while.

As far as I can tell I would probably need 16 people, but as that seems a bit of a stretch I will probably cut it down.

Any interest or questions?

well my question is, how the heck would this work??

Well originally I had planned a system where each person chose certain skills and these skills would effect their survival and therefor their chances of winning but that is turning uot to be a lo of trouble.

So the game would probably be mostly about alliances (organised in PMs) and winning challenges (mental challenges, quizzes and luck) to see who is the victor.

It would follow the basic television pattern of starting out as team vs. team and sometime after the first few evictions there would be a merge and it would become individual challanges.

Any more Questions?

we could use the forum polls to "vote" people off, it'd be awesome [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I like the idea of using the polls as a way of voting but then there would be a chance of people not involved in the actual game having a vote [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Can I play? Can I play??

but then that would give it an American Idol-like quality!

What setting? DnD-like, or modern?

ok, sounds good, I'm in!

It Does sound intruiging I'll give you that [img]tongue.gif[/img] ;)

so are we gona go for Shadowhound?

SHADOWHOUND!! :D so, what is involved?

I'm game.

Sounds pretty good. Count me in.

You can count me in too [img]smile.gif[/img]

When does this start..... Im getting restless

Gee looks like there has been some interest in my absense.

/)eathKiller - Yes but this is a Survivor RPG not an American Idol RPG [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Sir Exxon - I will basically be making the rules up as I go along, the important parts of the game consist of 2 parts. The challenges (might not include rewards in this game) and alliances etc.

Alliances can be handled by pm. Challenges will be created and run by me.

I will probably start the game soon, depending on how many people end up playing, so far the people who have said they are willing to play are:

NewbietoRPGs
RoSs_bg2_rox
Mr_Krift
Dalamar Stormcrow
/)eathKiller

Five people is not really enough to run the game but hopefully we will have enough soon.

Ill join(If this ever gets up and running)

well Id say once we have about 10 people we're ready to roll. So thats 4 more to go

Where to find 4 people... *rubs chin*

post something in the GD?

Edit: Is there going to be 2 tribes of 5 then >?

2 tribes of 5 is the plan.

BUMPing this.

Do we really need 10?

Yes 10 is the minimum number of people that I can run the game with.

bump again! Caliusmus ( I think thats how u spell it!) You said you were interested in joining a roleplay, here!

we only need 4 more people come on...

Weel I guees I could join... [img]smile.gif[/img] ..

Excellent, now only 3 more to go...
It may be possable (with a bit of a stretch) to play with only 8 people...

i'd be willing, but i'm not going to be online for the next few weeks, over the holidays... can we plan to start up first week of jan?

that also might give people who see the survivor thread in the books/tv forum a chance to get in, as well

i guess i better turn pm on too...

We now have the minimum amount of players, as per request the game shall start in Jan 2004 (unless anyone has a major problem with that). If we do not have anyone else join between now and then it will start as 2 teams of 4, the Lurkers and the Spammers. Teams will be chosen by 2 people who I will pick at the start of the game.

Any questions?

sultan: Since most of the game will probably be run by pm (alliances, betrayal etc.) having the pm working would probably be an advantage [img]tongue.gif[/img]

just one. my grandmother is VERY ill and at some point i'll be looking to you all for sympathy, so... [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Oh this should end up being an interesting game [img]tongue.gif[/img]

the only survior series i didnt watch was the last one,
but my parents told me about that

I hvent see any of the "survivor" series, but he hole consept camef rom a swedish program from the begining :D

Well Ive seen all the series, so I suppose I could call myself a survivor expert!! :D

Turned my pm on. Ready when you all are!

look above, we have to wait till january.

Bumping

Ah my fricken head... so guess I had better start the game then. The game is beginning the the thread "Outspam, Outlurk & Outlast - IW survivor"

so are we almost ready? Come on shadowhound lets get this show on the road!
