[i]Four Teams

Twenty-one Contestants
One Message Board

One Survivor[/i]

[size=5]Welcome to OtakuBoards Survivor 4[/size][/center]

Today, twenty members of OtakuBoards will begin a long adventure to overcome the challenges that their online-home has to offer. This game is all about teamwork, creativity, skills and survival.

The general rules for this contest are as follows:
[indent][b]1.[/b] The [b]twenty chosen players[/b] will work as [b]four teams[/b]. Each team has a separate [b]Team Thread[/b] where nobody else besides that team?s members and me can post. Those threads should include introductions from each player, planning of challenges and whatever discussion the team wants to hold in there. I?d like that those threads would be used more than private messages, so that anybody reading the contest would have a better clue of what is going on inside each team.
[b]2.[/b] [b]This thread[/b] here is meant for official discussion, announcements and challenges, as well as Team Councils where some people will get voted off from the game. Any questions concerning the game can be sent here or in the Auditions thread, or by private message directly to me.
[b]3.[/b] The four teams will face many [b]challenges[/b], most of which will take a week, but some can take longer. After each challenge, the winning team(s) will get to keep all of its members (as well as occasionally gain some other advantages), but the losing teams will go into the [b]Team Council[/b] to vote out one of their members. The voting happens by private messaging me the name of the one you want out.
[b]4.[/b] In case of a tie in voting, the [b]Team Captain[/b] will make the final decision. Captains are chosen by the team, and they will be in charge of the team?s effectiveness and communication. This is important: when one of the team members feels like it?s time to [b]change the captain[/b], he or she will send me a private message with the name of the member he or she would prefer to replace the captain. Then I?ll let the team vote whether or not the captain is changed. This can however be done [b]only in-between challenges[/b].
[b]5.[/b] After the amount of players has been dropped below a certain number, the four teams will [b]merge into two[/b], and the second phase of the game will commence. There will be another merge later, after which each remaining player plays as an [B]individual[/B] for the victory of this game.
[b]6.[/b] There can only be [b]one winner[/b], which will be decided by the vast public when there is only two players left. That winner will receive the honorary title of [b]Survivor of OtakuBoards[/b].[/indent]

Those are the main rules that depict the flow of this game. Below is the list of the final players and the Jury, as well as the eliminated players in the old teams (eliminated players are striked over):

What might come as a surprise to all of you is that your first challenge begins now.

[center][size=5]First Challenge: Teaming Up[/size][/center]

Each team has instructions on what to do to build up their team in their respective Team Threads, so head there to find out all about the challenge. I'm expecting the captains of each team to post whatever their team has come up to this thread by Saturday the 27th.

[font=Century gothic]The first challenge has now [B]ended[/B], sooner than expected, since all teams have posted their entries. I hope you have teamed up well, because from this point on, the four teams will be put on to a true trial that can only be surpassed with strong bonds to your teammates backing you up.

From my perspective, each team was strong in it's own way, and I especially have to applaud each of you for your choices of captains - they're all strong, determined and caring, just what is asked from a great captain.

But like in this whole contest, there is only one winner to this challenge. Let's review each of the team's efforts separately:

[B][COLOR=DarkOrange]Team Argo (formerly Team Adam)[/B]: You guys got of to a speedy start, and you quickly came up with a suitable captain as well as the name and the color. It was especially clever of you to start asking questions from each others, and all the other teams noticed this as well as they adopted it from you. The flag is beautiful in a classic way and certainly fits the name of the team. However, the reasons that you chose "Team Argo" as your name were quite dubious. I'm sure you could've come up with something more describing, if you had put your minds into it.[/COLOR]

[B][COLOR=Blue]The Titans (formerly Team Dagger):[/B] You were quite single-minded about everything, and you too came up with everything without that much stress. I liked the fact that some of you put photos of yourselves to your introductions. I have got to say, though, that the flag isn't very impressive - it's nice, but not much else - and I don't know what "Titans" have to do with you guys. The Nifty Titans would've been a more original choice in my opinion, but it was up to you to decide.[/COLOR]

[B][COLOR=DarkRed]The Mercenaries (formerly Team Desbreko):[/B] I have to say I would've liked to see more interaction in your Team Thread. You were also pondering between two choices for a team name/color for quite a while, but ultimately I think you made the right choice out of the two you had. I'm not quite sure how much of "mercenaries" you are, but "purple cobras" went way over my head. As for your flag, it is very stylish, but what are you going to do when somebody gets evicted, possibly very soon? Or when the captain changes or someone new comes to your team? It [I]is[/I] possible for you to change your flag everytime those things happen, but maybe you should've thought about it a bit further. [/COLOR]

[B][COLOR=Green]The Laugh Out Louds (formerly Team James):[/B] Your work was quite efficient, evidently, as you were the first to put an entry up. You seemed to have a bit of a power struggle as who's going to be the captain, and I think that affected to what you came up quite much. At first I kind of went "huh?" with your team name, but now I'm beginning to quite like it. It's fun, for one, and I think it really suits your team. The flag is cute in a Japanese-advertisement-kind-of-way, and of course with green being my favorite color, I have to say it pleases my eye. The one thing I'm worried is that how much teamwork was really put to this challenge? Some of you should take care that you give space to everybody's opinions, so that nobody will dominate the whole team.[/COLOR]

With that being said, it's time to announce the winning team of the first challenge. For efficient teamwork, spiffy flag and tons of creativity, the victory goes to...

[CENTER][IMG]http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c323/SamSandy/OB%20Survivor/4-flag-lols.png[/IMG][/CENTER]

Congratulations, Dragon Warrior & Co., you get to enjoy each others company in this competition at least for the next week. Unfortunately for the other three teams, they are all headed for the...

[CENTER][size=5]First Team Council[/size][/CENTER]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]Team Argo[/COLOR]... [COLOR=Blue]The Titans[/COLOR]... [COLOR=DarkRed]The Mercenaries[/COLOR]...

It's time for each of you to vote out one of your own members. To do that, each player must send me a [b]private message[/B] with the name of the teammate they want out. The one who gets the most votes from the team will be evicted from this game. In case of a tie, it's the captain's vote that matters.

In the past I have accepted [B]voting yourself out[/B], but now it's unacceptable. If you can't put yourself up to write down somebody else's name, then you don't really want to win this competition. Remember, all, that this is not a matter of life and death, just survival online.

The voting will go on until I have a clear result for each team, but I would prefer that everybody would send their private messages as soon as possible.

In case of any questions arise, this thread is open to them. Now, [B]it's time to vote.[/B][/font]

Okay, my only question: Are all three losing teams going to have to vote someone off every single time? Or is this just a one time thing? I was just wondering because it doesn't seem like this will last very long if that's the case. I'm sure you've got all kinds of twists and turns planned, but is there ever going to be a round where only the 4th place team loses a member?

[FONT=Century Gothic]There will be a different amount of losing teams depending on the challenge. Bear in mind that we also have a list of standby players all eager to replace those who are evicted.



The results of the first [B]Team Council[/B] are clear now.

[COLOR=DarkOrange][B]Team Argo[/B][/COLOR], you voted out [B]kalon[/B] with four votes against Shy's one.

[COLOR=Blue][B]The Titans[/B][/COLOR] gave Keyblade Wielder two votes but [B]JJ[/B] three votes, so he will be leaving them now.

[COLOR=DarkRed][B]The Mercenaries[/B][/COLOR] were the most diverse in their voting, as Anomaly got one vote and both Darren and Gavin got two votes. The captain's vote was decisive, and [B]Gavin[/B] is evicted.

[B]JJ[/B], [B]Gavin[/B] and [B]kalon[/B], thank you all for playing, although your time in this game was short. You are all entitled to one "goodbye"-post to [B]this thread[/B], but you aren't allowed post to your Team Threads anymore.

To the players still in the game, letting the first batch of teammates go must've been hard for you, but hopefully the [B]second challenge[/B] will take your minds back to the game, as it [B]launches tomorrow[/B].

Now is the time to send me a private message if you are unhappy with your captain's performance and wish to see somebody else leading your team.

We'll get back to business tomorrow, then![/FONT]

[font=Century Gothic]Alright, are you ready for your first big trial?

[center][size=5]Second Challenge: Seek the eSSence[/size][/center]

This challenge requires organizational skills, speed, accuracy and puzzle solving abilities. Please pay extra attention to the rules, as they are complicated this time.

[indent][b]1.[/b] Each team must seek out [b]S[/b]-symbols of their own team color from the threads in [b]Adventure Square[/b]. Basically, they look like these:
[center][color=DarkRed]S[/color]
[color=DarkOrange]S[/color]
[color=Green]S[/color]
[color=Blue]S[/color][/center]
The symbols are located at the top of the first post in each thread that has one. The catch is that there are [b]96 pages[/b] worth of threads in the Square, and the symbols are spread throughout those pages. You are going to need some serious teamwork to find them all fast.
[b]2.[/b] When you eventually find a symbol of the right color, you must write down the [b]title of the thread[/b] it was in. The [b]amount of symbols[/b] each team has to find is either 10, 11 or 12, making it even harder to know when to stop searching.
[b]3.[/b] The aim of this challenge is to form a "[b]spectacular name[/b]" using the [b]first letters[/b] of the thread titles you’ve collected. That means each team’s answer must be either 10, 11 or 12 letters long, not counting possible spaces. Furthermore, for the answer to be complete, aside from solving the word puzzle you must also [b]list all the thread titles[/b] you found an S-symbol of your own color from. That way I know you didn’t just guess the answer.
[b]4.[/b] Just to make it clear, each team has a different word puzzle to solve and different threads to find, so there’s no point in trying to spy on other teams. Please use the [b]Team Threads[/b] for any discussion related to this challenge, as opposed to PMs. I want to see how you progress with this.
[b]5.[/b] This challenge is a race against the other teams, and there are different “prizes” for each rank:
[indent][i]1st place[/i]: Team gets to choose one new player on [b]standby[/b] to join their team.
[i]2nd place[/i]: Team doesn’t gain or lose any members.
[i]3rd place[/i]: Team goes to the [b]Team Council[/b] to vote one of their members out.
[i]4th place[/i]: Team’s [b]captain[/b] gets automatically evicted.[/indent]
[b]6.[/b] The [b]winner[/b] is the team that posts the name they got out of the thread titles as well as the complete list of titles they found [b]to this thread first[/b]. The poster does [i]not[/i] have to be the captain of the team. The challenge will go on until all four teams have posted their answers.
[b]7.[/b] To anybody who it might bother, I will take out each and every one of the symbols edited to the threads after this challenge.[/indent]

There are very high stakes in this challenge, and it can seriously affect the future success of each team, so put everything you’ve got into it. This thread is open to all questions you might still have.

[COLOR=DarkRed]I have a question, if a team puts up their answer and they are missing one of the threads, so long as they have at least ten do they still win? Or do you tell them they are missing some? Or do they get penalized and automically lose if they put up an answer with 10 threads when you actually put the letter in 11 different threads? [/COLOR]

And the word I came up with is [B]OTAKU AWARDS[/B] I must have stared at those letters for over thirty minutes since in my vocabulary, Otaku is not a word. And it took looking at the site and seeing the words OtakuBoards for me to realize what the answer most likely was.

Now, I hate to do this Sandy, but I?m going to give you a complaint about this round. I realize you spent a lot of time thinking of this challenge and in setting it up. But it was horribly unfair to the other players who unlike myself have jobs and school and other commitments.

I am disabled and other than doctor?s appointments and occasionally getting out I am homebound due to my health. It was unfair towards everyone here, including my own daughter who is currently at school at this very moment.

I?m sorry to say that since I thought the whole concept was rather clever and fun to actually do.

[FONT=Century Gothic]Your answer is correct as well, Kathy, so your team came in the [B]second place[/B].

Now for your complaint. It is justifiable as such, but since there are contestants from across the globe with different life situations, it's impossible to go by [I]everybody[/I]'s time. I knew when I invented this that it would be a quick challenge, and not everybody could participate in it. In any case, there are a lot of things attributed to this game, but "fairness" isn't one of them, and I hope I have never given the allusion that it would be.

With that being said, it's unfortunate that [COLOR=Green]the Laugh Out Louds[/COLOR] and [COLOR=DarkRed]the Mercenaries[/COLOR] have to fight for the two losing spots. That's just the spirit of the game.

If it's any consolation, the future challenges won't be based on speed.[/FONT]

[QUOTE=Sandy][FONT=Century Gothic']If it's any consolation, the future challenges won't be based on speed.[/FONT][/quote]It is because truthfully, if all of the challenges were as ?[I]unfair?[/I] as this last one was, I would have no interest in being a part of it because at that point it becomes irritating and frustrating instead of fun.

[font=tahoma]Trust me A_M (if i may call you that), nobody knows the extent of how unfair it was then the two teams that had to battle for third place, lol. Me and Darren were going toe to toe a few hours ago to get those links, mumbling all the while that it was for a opportunity to just vote one of our members out, i'm sure (though I don't speak for Darren).

I too am glad that future events will not be based on similar stipulations, though the concept itself (hunting for letters to put together a certain word) I thought was a different idea for a challenge, albeit annoying =P.

I was starting to wonder when the reserved people were gonna start coming into play too. Adding them as event completion stips is a great idea, it's like the team has to win themselves another member rather then each team gets one just because they lost someone.[/font]

[FONT=Century Gothic]BKstyles and Darren, you are both correct, and have taken the [B]third[/B] and [B]fourth place[/B] for your team, respectively.

That's right, the "spectacular names" were names of OB's own spectaculars, also known as Community Events. Here's the final results:

[INDENT][I]1st place:[/I] [COLOR=Blue]The Titans[/COLOR]
[I]2nd place:[/I] [COLOR=DarkOrange]Team Argo[/COLOR]
[I]3rd place:[/I] [COLOR=Green]The Laugh Out Louds[/COLOR]
[I]4th place:[/I] [COLOR=DarkRed]The Mercenaries[/COLOR][/INDENT]

That means that [COLOR=Blue]the Titans[/COLOR] are allowed to choose one new player from the [B]standby[/B] to join their team. Here are your candidates:
[INDENT][SIZE=1]
[u]Crazy Kev[/u]
14 years old male from USA
Strengths: Videogames, RPGs
Weaknesses: Creative Writing, Movies

[u]Dario/Leon[/u]
15 years old male from USA
Strengths: Music, Videogames/Computers
Weaknesses: RPGs, Art/Graphics

[u]Doublehex/Matt[/u]
18 years old male from USA

Weaknesses: Art

[u]sakazaki/Theo[/u]

Weaknesses: Discussion/Debates, Music

18 years old male from USA
Strengths: RPGs, Music
Weaknesses: Graphics, Social Interaction[/SIZE][/INDENT]

[B]Beth[/B], I want you to announce your team's choice to this thread after you guys have discussed about it. I also have to check from the one you choose if they are still willing to participate, but after that, they will automatically move into your team.

[COLOR=DarkOrange]Team Argo[/COLOR], you guys can take a break for a while, as you will not gain any new members but won't lose any old ones either.

As for [COLOR=Green]the Laugh Out Louds[/COLOR] and [COLOR=DarkRed]the Mercenaries[/COLOR], you are going to vote, both teams for different reasons. This is...

[CENTER][SIZE=5]Second Team Council[/SIZE][/CENTER]

[COLOR=Green]The Laugh Out Louds[/COLOR], you came in third, so you will now have to [B]vote out one from your ranks[/B] for the first time. Please do it by sending me a PM with the name of the one you want evicted asap.

[COLOR=DarkRed]The Mercenaries[/COLOR], I'm sorry to say that you lose your Captain, [B]indifference[/B], as a result of this race. Crystia, you are entitled to one farewell-post into this thread, please don't post to your Team Thread anymore. It was great to have you!

Now, the rest of the Mercenaries should come up with a [B]new captain[/B] amongst them. Will it be [B]Aaryanna[/B], [B]Anomaly[/B] or perhaps [B]Darren[/B]? Take your pick and then the new captain should [B]report[/B] to me either by PM or by posting to this thread.

After this Council is over, we move onto the third challenge, which, to make up for the shortness of this one, will be a very long one, involving heavy planning, compromises and buckets of creativity. Now it's [B]time to vote[/B].[/FONT]

[COLOR=DarkRed]The team has decided and I have accepted the position of Captain. Also, here's the new flag for any edits or future use Sandy. :p

We may only have three, but we are far from giving up! [/COLOR]
