General overview of the game:

Everyone who signs up will be randomly divided into two teams. Each team will compete in several competitions during the course of the game. At each of these competitions, the winning team will have "immunity" which means they will not have to vote a member off their team. The losing team, unfortunately, has to go to "council", where every member will cast a vote to remove one of the players on their team. All members of the losing team must cast a vote. The person who has the most votes will be removed from the game and can no longer participate. Challenges may include anything from site-wide scavenger hunts and trivia about your team to online chess matches between each teams chosen representative.

Throughout the game, the teams can randomly be rearranged to make up for the lack of players on one particular team. You will not get any notice beforehand when the teams may be rearranged. Alliances may be present between the teams, but for the early stages of the game, it is suggested you only keep them between your team. Things will get interesting when the teams get switched around. The stronger your team, and the better you know each other means you will have more of a chance at winning.

Further on in the game, both of the teams will "merge" and all challenges will be on an individual basis. The sole winner of the challenge will receive immunity and they cannot be voted out. Your alliances are more important now than ever. You must work to keep the members of your alliances from being voted out. Eventually, when we get down to 3 remaining participants, the last 10 people who got voted out of the game will vote for the winner.

It is a good idea to form "alliances" with your team mates. This can be done via PM, in the thread, or however else you would like. Forming alliances and sticking together as a team is a must, throughout the entire game. Alliances can be deals with conditions, such as "if we go to council today, you will not vote me out" or "our goal is to make it to the final three".

One member will be randomly chosen at the start of the game to have a secret "idol". If declared before a vote, that member can not be voted out. The idol can be played at any time during the game, except for the final 3. Only the member who has the idol will be told about it. This member can either keep it secret, give it to somebody else, or tell everyone about it. If you wish to give the idol to somebody else, I must be notified via PM before the vote takes place.



Let the games begin

There are a total of 24 members participating in this event. Everybody will be divided up randomly into two teams. You each have been PMed a survey, I ask that you have that completed and PMed back to me by tomorrow, if possible. If there is anything you wouldn't want public, please refrain from answering that question. Team flags, names, and the first challenge will be tomorrow, Sunday March 1st.

Anyone who posts in the opposite teams thread will automatically receive a ban. No exceptions.

I didn't get a pm...
EDIT: I just did.

Some of the questions may seem kind of odd, but there is a purpose, I promise.

The teams have already been selected. They were completely random.

I already know all of your personal details. I took your DNA from a strand of your hair stuck to a piece of tape and used my connections with the CIA to find out every minute detail about your entire life.

Damn. Now I'm wondering what the real purpose of the rectal exam was.

This should be quite.. intriguing. I'm assuming these 'surveys' will go public some time in the competition?

One can only hope.

I never got a PM.

Unless I'm not in. Didn't send a PM.

Did you still want to participate? Zarathustra send in his PM after I ended the sign ups so he wasn't going to play. However, if you still want to, I suppose I can let you both play

Send me a PM titled "Halo Social Survivor" and message "I wish to participate" if you still want to play
