"Survivor 2nd Chances III: Road to the Finals"
Posted by tribephyl on 01-05-12 at 05:20 AM
A continuation of the game within a game wherein past survivors get their 2nd Chance to win the title of sole survivor.
But only because YOU say so.
We've hit traditional Merge stage (perhaps a couple of steps beyond) and the current Final 10 are...


Aaron

Amy

Angie

Brady

Brian

Gina

Hunter

Michael

Russell

Tanya


Congrats, you 10, for making it this far!

You have all made it to the point where I can now offer a place to safely stay outside of the elements.
It will be a sleeping arrangement within the newly built Igloolik longhouse.
All of you will all stay here for the remainder of the game.
Some of you will stay here night after night, forging your way to the Final Vote.
Most of you will be staying here night after night as members of the Jury.
Yup! I've moved the jury and the contestants into the same longhouse!
Mwahahahaaa...
And to make it worse, there is a slowly accruing amount of 4-poster beds available for the survivors who are voted out.
Plush, for sure. And with these Juror Beds will come the ... right ... to make that Finale Vote, as a juror.
Now, for those survivors that remain in the game, still in contention for the title of "Survivor 2nd Chance Champion", I will award a fur-pad next to the fire.


The game for players also continues... but with new twists and even deeper strategies.

When you're ready to join in and decide for yourself who stays and who goes, look for my latest post and just do it! (With stamina, agility and know-how.)

Good luck all.

Okay, a little late and a little backstory. This is the third game planned for this episode. The first two, while trying to plan for multiple options have just boggled my brain and in order to get either one fully done, I'll have to tinker with them some more.
SO... For now we get temporarily saved by a diversion, an escapade... A Scratscapade!


For this challenge we have Scrat from IceAge fame standing by ready to grab some acorns.
Your job will simply be to grab an acorn before he does.
There are only 6 acorns left from a total of 15 Acorns...


One acorn per player.

Randomly attached to each of the acorns are a series of special prizes.
Given directly to those that grab the right acorn.

There are 7 "Sorry, try again" acorns.
There are 2 "Pick a Power Player" acorns.
There are 2 "Find an HI" acorns.
There are 2 "Pick an F10 Immunity Finalist" acorn.
There is 1 "Pick an F10 Challenge Winner" acorn.
There is 1 "Jury Vote" acorn.

Once 10 of you have made picks I will open the acorns and reveal who receives each of the special prizes.

First 10 Acorns grabbed by...

Okay. Bless your hearts.
Even the prehistoric squirrel/rat/thing feels for you.
Your choosing acorns for survivors was very nice.
However, the acorns are possible prizes for YOU. (Yes, technically, most of them will be for survivors but I want you to choose the survivor AFTER the prize is revealed.)

So, after removing all of your previous 'for survivor' notations and as claimed from above...

Corvis: 8
krismiss: 9

Yup. She'll bestow F10 Immunity to either Brian or Russell, then we'll head into Tribal Council.

With so many twists, I'm lost; we need a recap! Is Wanda still in the game?

A Full Recap is expected with the next thread (Say F7 ish) but to settle some nerves... No, Wanda is not still playing. She left the game and entered LoserLodge at F15 (6th Boot). I believe her and the rest of the later losers went on a spelunking expedition. In fact, we may never hear from her again.

I've also been editing the main challenge topic with the results of the picks and such. I will try to do a more comprehensive pre-tribal voting dialogue beforehand to help with some of the possible "I'm lost" feelings.
However, I can't help but feel a sense of pride that you didn't see some of these things coming though.

"RE: mini-recap"

Whew, glad that I am not the only one who is lost. I went to vote for an acorn...but all the people were taken. I didnt think I could pick a new number for someone???

Tribe, one of these networks needs to scoop you up for your creative game developing ability. You are fabulous at this.

"However, I can't help but feel a sense of pride that you didn't see some of these things coming though."


Oh! I saw these things coming all right. What I wouldn't have seen coming was anyone of those twists helping me.
Do I have a HII? Nooooo!
Do I have a jury vote? Nooooo!
Do I get to decide who wins immunity? Nooooo!
And, if Wanda is out of the game, why do I keep hearing "Survivors! We are all Survivors!"

"RE: mini-recap"
Posted by tribephyl on 01-08-12 at 05:59 AM
lol.
Okay. new special rule, michel wins and decides everything. Done. *wipes hands*
Have fun with the aftermath.

And that Wanda quote, I actually think that's coming from inside your own head. Or perhaps an ear-worm planted there secretively by EPMB himself. I know it ain't me.

All kidding aside, don't lose faith michel, while there isn't actually a new special rule wherein you are bestowed with 2nd-chance-omnipotence... I can promise there will still be plenty of opportunities to pick up a jury vote or to decide who wins immunity, perhaps even a making the sole TC vote. Who knows?

"RE: mini-recap"
Posted by michel on 01-08-12 at 05:13 PM
You'd think I'd like that twist but what do we do next for fun? Being the Supreme Power isn't as amusing as it appears to be. I mean, seeing Stephanie V, Rocky and Kathleen battling out in the F3 would make me laugh but I'd have too many calls from Tebow!
"RE: mini-recap"
Posted by tribephyl on 01-08-12 at 10:56 PM
Wow. Now that F3 is right out of... umm... an alternate universe?
Kathleen obviously being the goat but it sure would be fun to pontificate how Rocky and Steph V. end up fairing a 2nd time around.

"RE: mini-recap"
Posted by michel on 01-09-12 at 06:49 PM
Well, they were very entertaining players and not as bad as what we saw:

Rocky had the right idea, forming that Explorer alliance from the start. Unfortunately, he was outwitted by Dreamz who was an even more underestimated player.

Stephanie was liked by the rest of Zapatera, more than Krista and even Sarita but, since she was close to Russell, they couldn't risk bringing her to the merge. Had she been on Ometepe, maybe, just maybe, she wouldn't have been as docile as the other girls on that tribe.

Kathleen quit mostly because Jonathan left. Had he stayed, she could have been part of a coup with Jonathan, Eliza and Jason to boot Parvati. Put her in an F3 and she'd be a tough one to beat because she's extremely witty.

"RE: mini-recap"
Posted by Belle Book on 01-09-12 at 09:35 PM
You're right about Rocky having the right idea with the Explorer alliance, but you forgot two things: first, he was on a tribe that almost always lost and second, his bad attitude towards people like Anthony might have grated on the people who were switched from the other tribe onto his one:

Stephanie wouldn't have been as docile as the others on Ometepe but she would have been gone sooner as Boston Rob would have seen her as a threat.

As for Kathleen, you're right in saying that she quit mostly because Jonathan left but the only reason why she lasted as long as she did was because she had a "support system", first in Tracy and Chet and once they were on the other tribe, in Jonathan. She couldn't control her emotions well enough to function without those guys. She just wasn't cut out for the game -- and she was a Fan! Then again, Erik wasn't really cut out for Survivor either, especially when Amanda, Cirie, Natalie and Parvati all got to him and he wound up giving the Immunity necklace to Natalie! No wonder Eliza looked shocked, why Ozzy shook his head as he grinned, and why James couldn't contain his laughter. I'd have had a hard time keeping from laughing if I'd been there!

The "Have/Have-Not" twist was one of the most unfair twists they ever did. Despite that Ravu was very close in the first two challenges. There is nothing that helps team morale more than a victory so Rocky would not have had such a bad attitude if they had won a few rewards and immunities. Yet, he also tried to make his tribe laugh on many occasions.

We have absolutely no way of knowing what would have happened exactly.

The same happens to many players. Things mess with your mind out there. Holly and Dawn could have quit without support. Jenna almost quit but still wound up with a million.

Welcome, survivors, to Tribal Council.
You've all been here before so go ahead and place your torches behind you and take your stumps.

So, Scratscapade really had some heads twisting?

Brian: I had it all figured out. I don't know what those players were thinking.

Russell: I thought I had it all figured out. I'm not so sure anymore.

JPtribe: Really, Russell? You're a PowerPlayer now.

Russell: Okay, now we're getting somewhere. I forgot about that. Thanks, krismiss!

JPtribe: You got a PowerPlayer token too, Tanya. You feel good?

Tanya: I feel great. This arctic air does wonders for my nauseau and that token is just about the best thing ever. Finals here I come.

JPtribe: Seems to be a bit boastful. You realize 2 Hidden Idols were discovered as well, right?

Tanya: Uh-Oh. Are they valid now? When should I... um be worried. I should be very worried. Thanks JPtribe. Thanks for bursting my bubble.

JPtribe: Just breathe in that cold air girl. You'll be fine. I'd love to hear your thoughts too Gina. How are you fairing.

Gina: Good, I'm good.

JPtribe: ...and that's it? good? really?

Amy: She should be close-lipped. I think it has to do with the HiddenIdol. But that's just me. Maybe Hunter has it and she's just covering. Maybe I'm just being paranoid.

JPtribe: Ohhhkaaay... Hunter?

Hunter: She's definitely paranoid. As usual the favorites going in end up losing steam about this time and those that can't hack it start losing their marbles.

JPtribe: Sounds like you and Gina are still together, and that possibly Amy is not with you.

Gina: Yup.

Hunter: No. That's not what I meant. *elbows Gina*

JPtribe: Well, moving on... I guess I should ask Brian if he would like to pass off his immunity? (nods to Brian, Brian shakes head) No? Okay, time to vote...

Tanya: OMG I forgot to thank BelleBook for my PowerPlayer token. Thanks, Belle!

JPtribe: Okay, NOW we vote.

Please take a moment to visit the specially designed Private Voting Booth and make your vote for one of the following survivors... (keeping in mind you cannot vote for Brian)

Aaron
Amy
Angie
Brady
Brian *IMMUNE*
Gina
Hunter
Michael
Russell

When I read the votes the survivor with the most votes will need to bring me their torch, say their goodbyes and take a four-poster bed in the Igloolik longhouse.

Now, before I start, I'd love to ask if anyone has a hidden idol and would like to play it?

Brady: Um, JPtribe? I do. ... here.

JPtribe: Thank you, Brady. This is indeed a hidden immunity, therefore all votes cast against Brady will be voided.
(Hope you all had a back-up plan?)


First votes is for...

Brady (doesn't count)

Next votes is for...

Wow. Brady, you are a lucky guy. Still 1 vote Michael. None for anyone else.

Next vote is for ...

Brady

Wow. Okay. Peeps don't like Brady, it seems.

The next vote is for

Aaron.

We have a tie, with valid votes, 1 for Aaron and 1 for Michael.

Next vote is for...

Brady again, doesn't count. And 1 last vote here and it is for...

The 10th Bootee of Survivor 2nd Chances 3, Aaron.
That's 2 votes, that's enough. Bring me your torch.

Sorry, Aaron, the tribe has spoken

"F9 Challenge: Snowman Smash!"
Posted by tribephyl on 01-11-12 at 05:19 PM
LAST EDITED ON 01-13-12 AT 01:40 AM (EST)

Allrighty, it's become time to go ahead and hold our own 'coconut chop' typed challenge.
Be aware!

Each of you, players and survivors alike, have a specially designed Snowman in front of you.
Each of these snowmen are made up of 3 parts; Top, Middle and Bottom.


Now, the challenge itself will be made up of a series of questions. 1 per day.
Answer a daily question and you will be eligible to take a Smash at another's snowman.

SnowmenSmashes, will alternate from Survivors to Players dependent upon the day and question. But when in the actuality of making smash choices, I will let you know which snowmen are vulnerable.

After all questions have been asked (and answered)...
Any survivor whose snowman is completely busted, is out of the challenge.
Any survivor with their snowman completely intact, will be awarded 'Immunity' for the next tribal council.

Any player, whose snowman is completely busted, is out of the challenge.
Any player with their snowman completely intact, will be awarded with a 'Jury Vote' at FINAL Tribal Council.

Now, due to their PowerPlayer status both Tanya and Russell have been given an Inuit Shield, to protect their snowmen against the 1st Smash.

Survivors: Snowman (pieces)
Amy: (3)
Angie: (2)
Brady: (3)
Brian: (3)
Gina: (3)
Hunter: (3)
Michael: (3)
Russell: (4)
Tanya: (4)

As for players, you all have a mask on...

Players:
agman: (3)
Belle: (3)
Corvis: (3)
CT: (3)
D'Abby: (3)
Georj: (3)
krismiss: (3)
martini: (3)
michel: (3)
Spot: (3)
suzzee: (3)
taffnic: (3)


Now, before I just let you all loose, some rules.
Each day I will post a message entitled 'Question: Day 1', 'Question: Day 2', etc. Dependant on the actual day of question.
Upon lapsing of 24hour-ish deadline, I will post the results of the question in a message called 'Snowman Smash: Day 1', 'Snowman Smash: Day 2', etc. Dependent on the actual day of Smashing.
You may only answer the CURRENT days question.
You may only make smashes during the CURRENT days snowman smash.
You may NOT go back and answer previous questions, you may NOT go back and make-up for missed smashes.

If you answer the days question correctly, you will be awarded a chance to smash some snowmen.
If you don't make it back in time to make a smash, your smash will be forfeited.
Look below for the current days question.
Good Luck!
Good Smashing!

While I agree with Michel's statement that some may know you better, the prob with survivor questions is that they can be looked up online. He can always make other "personal" questions about each of us...kinda like what others think of everyone or some crap like that. I like this kind of question - it seems the most fair. And that's my nickel's worth

"RE: Question: Day 1"
Posted by CTgirl on 01-11-12 at 09:20 PM
From my experience, Tribe keeps his personal life and Survivor life pretty separate. He is known for his nefariousness after all so even those of us that have known him longer don't have much of an advantage.

See, now that I know you are in California, the number of shoes can be reduced slightly as you don't need winter boots. That tells me the number should be somewhere between 5 and 20!
Now, if I knew that you played golf or are a fisherman, I'd add a few pairs. I can imagine you in rubber thigh high boots...

A. 5.
In fact I had recently thrown out my sixth pair (boots) which kinda prompted this question.
The 5 that remain are Flip-flops, work shoes, tennies, slippers and dress shoes. That's it. 5 pairs. Yes, they are labeled and delicious in both look and feel.

Not me. I don't think that that would spare many hard feelings - the point of the whole exercise - at all.

Rather than that, I would choose to discourage throwing the Challenge by imposing a penalty - a smash against the reluctant players' own snowmen - that would give everyone a bit - small as it might be - of legitimate "it was either you or me" cover.

ETA: Besides, in view of the fact that we don't have a $1,000,000 prize at stake, being at the mercy of chance smashes (including your own) would be fun. Even ironically so ...

"Answer to previous Question "
Posted by tribephyl on 01-16-12 at 00:53 AM
Okay, as to what to do...
Traditionally the Coconut Chop/Snowman Smash challenge results rely upon participation. The penalty for not making a smash/chop is a smash/chop of your own snowman/coconut. It is a rule I've pretty much always used... but inexplicably overlooked this time.

Unfortunately, at this moment, nothing is in place for the current days smash NOR for any previous days smashes. And the rule as posted is...If you don't make it back in time to make a smash, your smash will be forfeited. will stand true.

But from now on I can guarantee, it will read...If you don't make it back in time to make a smash, your snowman will receive the smash instead.

Believe me, I do not suffer from the desire to NOT smash snowmen.

Never before have we had such a monsterous amount of immunity necklaces to give away...
Due to the very very tame Snowman Smash (moreso Snowman Slap) results; Amy, Brian, Gina, Hunter, Michael and Russell all have immunity and are safe from bootation.

This leaves our next bootee as either: Angie, Brady or Tanya.

Any last thoughts, you three?

Tanya: I'm not worried at all. Brady was the target last time, he'll be the target again this time. Only without a hidden idol to save him.

Angie: Yup. He's toast.

Brady: I don't want it to end! Isn't there anything you can do, tribe? Please, help me stay.

JPtribe: Brady. As much as I would like you to stay in the game, I have zero control over the voting. I would suggest perhaps making cookies for all the voters. Backrubs, maybe?

Brady: Okay, D'Abby is first, then CT, then krismiss and taffnic. Nothing sexual but I'll rub on Spot and Corvis too. Heck, I can even start with you, tribe. If you'd like?

JPtribe: Sure, go ahead and start massaging while I start the voting.

Brady: And remember, a free massage to anyone who doesn't vote for me!

Okay, for the 9th tribal Council, I will need for you players to head to the Private Voting Booth and vote for 1 survivor. From Angie, Brady or Tanya.
The survivor with the most votes will have their torch snuffed and will take a 4-poster bed in the Igloolik longhouse. Making sure to join in with Aaron, making fun of the survivors still sleeping on the ground.
