Survivor Simulator

Me? Sorry, but I still have a lot of HGS things to do, so I can't host either.

Ignore this.

TabbyGirl4, if you can't host right now, may I have a try?

Okay then. I'll send the save when I get home.

Greetings, Tropers, and welcome to a very belated first season of the Survivor Simulator! Our first season takes a vast amount of varied characters to Borneo, where they will compete for... well, mainly our amusement. Which of these survivors will win? Which will not? Which will we love, and which will we hate? These questions will surely answer themselves in time. But first, we shall introduce our competitors!

INTRODUCTIONS

Here they are; this season's survivors!

In the Stardust Tribe, we have:

• A Dissolaber - A heavily armoured mech. Kinda overkill for the environment.
• Kirby - A cute ball of power stealing via digestion. Seems really versatile.
• Moonlight Cookie - A magical cookie. I really hope that nobody gets any ideas.
• Neptune - A personified Sega console with great specs.
• Overhaul - A villanous Yakuza member... not the most friendly guy.
• Power Stroke - A unicorn with a great fashion sense.
• The Joker - A deranged villain and probably going to be voted at out the earliest convenience
• Uzo Aduba - A famous actress and Emmy award winner.

And in the Moonlight Tribe, we have:

• Axe - A fairly good fighter with dual blades.
• Azula - A princess and firebender.
• Detective Gamechanger - A high-tech detective, by the looks of it. I have no idea about some of the Troper OCs, please correct me if I'm wrong about anything regarding them.
• Eastwood - One of the least competent Mobian Inquisition members.
• Likulau - A clouded leopard spirit.
• Samwise Gamgee - A hobbit and member of the Fellowship of the Ring
• Silvia - A mighty blue horse-like alien.
• Zig - A fairly evil hyena.

ALLIANCES

So, those where the participants: And now for how they get along.

Stardust tribe has two aliances; The first one being one between the Dissolsaber, Kriby, and Moonlight Cookie. I'm sure Kirby was the one who brought this group together. The second Stardust alliance is between Neptune, Overhaul, and the Joker. I can understand Overhaul and the Joker getting along, but I'm pretty sure that Neptune is the only one convincing them not to slaugher each other.

Moving on to the Moonlight tribe, with their two alliances; Axe, Eastwood and Zig forming the first one. I'm not sure what they have in common, but I'm pretty sure that their thrill for battle brough them close. The second aliance is between Gamechanger, Likulau and Samwise. I... cannot think of a reason to have these brought together, but I'm sure that they'll turn out fine.

CHALLENGE

Now, we shall let the challenges begin! In this first episode, there will only be one; the immunity challenge, in which one tribe will be granted safety from getting rid of one of their members. This one involves the teams carrying a large raft through a dangerous course; through roaring currents and unstable land. At the end of the course, they will have to light a fire spirit, and that will win them immunity. While the Stardust tribe have a powerful mech to aid them in this task, Moonlight tribe has a powerful steed to aid them in the transport. They reach the fire spirit at the same time, only for Azula to light the spirit nearly instantly,granting the Moonlight tribe immunity.

EVENTS

The tribe members return to their camps to rest and socialise.

In the Stardust tribe, Joker, Overhaul and Neptune begin talking. While their initiall conversations were good enough to bond them in an aliance, this moment of socialisation allows them to deepen their bonds, strenghtening their alliance.

In the Moonlight tribe, Axe, Eastwood and Zig attempt to do the same. This group, however, was destined to fall into disaster. As they talk, Axe says something that deeply offends Eastwood, causing him to strike Axe in retaliation. Intense looks follow, only for Zig to step in and stop their conflict. This interaction will surely leave a wound on this team's integrity.

TRIBAL COUNCIL

Now is the time for the Stardust tribe to vote about who shall be removed. Uzo casts suspicious glances at everyone, and tries to pressure them into revealing their targets. This causes a mass consensus for everyone to vote against her. She is removed from the tribe at a vote of seven to one.

And in case you haven't figured out who voted for who, here is the breakdown.

Edited by TenOfSwords13 on Nov 16th 2019 at 6:26:00 PM

Why did I vote to yeet Bismuth and Novo's VA from my team?

Kind of a surprising alliance for Nep there...

The detective isn't a robot, just a man wearing some high tech.

So, how long until the Joker and Overhaul wind up backstabbing each other, I wonder. :p

Edited by IchigoMontoya on Nov 16th 2019 at 1:09:14 AM

Of course Azula lights the spirit instantly. Of course she does! That's my girl!

Calling it now, Joker and Overhaul are going to turn on each other if Neptune gets voted out.

Thrill of the hunt, maybe.

But yeah, this is off to a great start!

EPISODE TWO

Here is a recap of who is still in the Survivor Simulator.

The Stardust Tribe Alliances, unchanged from last time.

The Moonlight Tribe Alliances, unchanged from last time.

REWARD CHALLENGE

As part of the events, the tribes will use their skills not for safety, but to earn valuable rewards to enhance their lives in Borneo. Today, the tribes engage in a test of endurance and strength, in which they nominate one individual to hold a bar with water buckets on them. These buckets will be filled over time by their opponents. The first member to drop their bar will forfeit their tribe's reward. Stardust Tribe's representative is the Dissolaber, which will not tire as it is a mech, and Moonlight Tribe's representative is Likulau, being the most well-built out of the tribe. Both teams compete well, and fill their opponents' buckets rapidly. However, a tragedy occurs. The Dissolaber's systems fail after an extended amount of time holding the buckets! The bar falls to the ground, soaking most of Moonlight Tribe, Thus costing Stardust Tribe the reward, a tasty pizza with toppings of Moonlight Tribe's choice.

IMMUNITY CHALLENGE

A short time after the Reward Challenge, and after the Dissolaber was repaired, a second challenge was served up for lunch; a beetle larva known as a butok. Each tribe has to have each of their members eat a butok, or they will lose the challenge. Stardust Tribe completes the challenge with ease, as most of them are either mad, will eat anything, or just won't freak out at the gruesome dish. Moonlight Tribe, however, has one person hesitate; Eastwood. He tries to get the squirming thing into his mouth, but puts it down again and again. Eventually, he musters up his courage... only for the time allotment to run out. As Stardust Tribe waltzes off with Immunity, Moonlight Tribe scolds Eastwood's lack of courage.

EVENTS

In the Stardust Tribe, many tribe members converse with each other, and talk about leadership. They would like the tribe to have a strong figurehead who would accomplish any challenge ahead of them. Neptune and Power suggest holding a vote to determin their leader. After they vote, Moonlight Cookie announces that their leader is... Kirby. Kirby then wastes no time setting up heavy rules and regulations in order to boost his tribe's potential. Very few adore their new leader, but his alliance barely cares.

Meanwhile, in the Moonlight tribe, Axe, Eastwood, and Zig sit down and talk. They are all aware that their lack of cooperation has brought misery upon the Tribe. They eventually decide that they are better off weakening their bonds with each other, and cooperating with over tribe members more often.◊ Alongside that, and argument breaks out betwen Azula and Sylvia. This cannot be good, especially this close to the votes...

TRIBAL COUNCIL

The voting commences. The tribe understands that the fragile alliance would probably be better off with less members, but that point remains at the back of their minds as the recent argument remians a hot topic for choices. In the end, there is a tie; four votes to Sylvia, four to Azula. In light of this, a second vote is held amongst the remaining tribe members. The end vote, a sudden five votes to one vote, leaves one person to be removed. And that person is Azula.

And here is the vote breakdown.

I never knew Kirby of all people would turn out to be a dictator.

He may have helped his tribe win Immunity, but his eating habits just rubbed them off the wrong way.

EPISODE THREE

Here is a recap of who is still in the Survivor Simulator.

The Stardust Tribe Alliances, unchanged from last time.

The Moonlight Tribe Alliances, unchanged from last time.

REWARD CHALLENGE

During the first Challenge of today, the two tribes are informed of the location of a treasure chest located a great distance underwater. In order to win the challenge, they must simply bring the treasure onto the shore. Stardust Tribe reaches their chest first, but have a long quarrel as to how that chest should be pulled out of the water in the most efficient way. Moonlight Tribe, in their uncoordinated, improvised glory, all decide to just drag the chest in a straight line, no matter what obstacle is in their way. Their impulsiveness brought them just enough of a lead to arrive at the beach and claim their winnings just before Stardust Tribe can do so.

IMMUNITY CHALLENGE

Prior to the next Challenge, the tribes have been instructed to create a stretcher to carry their smallest teammate (Moonlight Cookie for the Stardust Tribe, Zig for the Moonlight Tribe), as well as to choose leaders (Kirby, the elected president of Stardust Tribe, was "chosen" to be the leader for that Tribe, and Moonlight Tribe chose a random name from a hat; it happened to be Gamechanger). When the Challenge rolls around, the Tribes have been told that their smallest member is hanging from a tree in a parachute, and that their leaders need to help their Tribes navigate the jungle to save them. Kirby's Tribe managed to locate their missing member with great ease, however they could not create a paln efficient enough for Kirby's approval. Meanwhile, Moonlight Tribe managed to eventually locate Zig with Gamechanger's detective skills, and managed to lower Zig to their stretcher in the time it took for Starlight Tribe to get a plan into motion. Eventually, Starlight Tribe brings Moonlight Cookie to the First Aid Tent, but by that point, Moonlight Tribe was already gone.

EVENTS

At the Stardust camp, another election is held to replace Kirby as their leader, due to his harsh rules and abrasive attitude. As it turns out, people wanted the Dissolsaber to be their leader now. This mech turns out to be an actually competent people-person, and manages to make sure that everyone in the camp is happy and satisfied, no matter who they are, who they're allied with, and however questionable their mental state is. Everyone truly admires their new leader.

At the Moonlight Tribe, the alliance between Gamechanger, Samwise and Likulau has come together for a discussion. Together, they acknowledge the sheer outlandishness of their union. The only common goals that they share are those of survival, of winning the challenges. They have varyingly different opinions of the other Tribe members, and unique ideas as to how the Tribe's resources should be split at the camp. This causes this alliance, not to disapear, but to weaken.

TRIBAL COUNCIL

The Voting times have come upon Stardust Tribe yet again. As the votes are anounced, one at a time, it becomes clear that this outcome is very divisive. One vote goes to Kirby, then one to The Joker, backwards and forwards until both have three votes. Then the final vote is drawn, and it is revealed that The Joker will be the one to leave.

Vote Breakdown.

Press F for Joker. Guess he, Neptune and Overhaul just couldn't persuade Pow-Pow Power to vote their way.

Edited by IchigoMontoya on Nov 17th 2019 at 1:50:51 AM

I heard that!

Anyway, Moonlight keeps winning these challenges despite its alliances breaking down...

Aww, I was really hoping Azula would make it farther than she did. Ah well.

EPISODE 4

Here is a recap of who is still in the Survivor Simulator.

The Stardust Tribe Alliances, with one less person in one of the alliances.

The Moonlight Tribe Alliances, unchanged from last time.

REWARD CHALLENGE

The two Tribes have been instructed to create an SOS signal to attract the attention of a plane flying over the jungle. Whoever attracts the plane's attention the best, with the best-looking signal, will have a reward given to them from the pilot. It seems to be that Moonlight Tribe's signal is.. lacking. It works, yes, but it has all sorts of different designs and aesthetics clashing. Stardust Tribe, under the guidence of the Dissolsaber, created a masterpiece, the most beautiful signal ever se- wait, Neptune, Overhaul, what are you doing to it? It seems that the duo is rebelling against the coalition that robbed them of a member by destroying the signal, handing the win and the precious commodities to Moonlight Tribe.

IMMUNITY CHALLENGE

Up next, the Tribes need to do some more treasure hunting; this time its location is unknown, so they need to find maps to get to it. Also there are a bunch of difficult terrains that need crossing. Everyone seems to find the trekking part very easy, as many of them have experience with such uneasy grounds. Map reading is also a skill shown by many of the Tribe members, although in Moonlight Tribe's case it was more of a case of "follow Samwise". Where this head-to-head battle ended was at the digging of the treasure, where Stardust used a coordinated approach to stop sand falling back in, whereas Moonlight just had everyone digging in the correct general area. By sheer luck, and by Stardust Tribe's hole mysteriously filling back up, Moonlight got their treasure first, and with it gained immunity, much to the confusion of Stardust Tribe.

EVENTS

In the Stardust Tribe, much discussion is had. They all try to discuss tactics, and how they could improve their chances at getting any form of reward. But the main alliance makes it clear as to who is to blame, and their intentions during the next vote, leaving those individuals very scared for their chances at winning.

Meanwhile, at the Moonlight Tribe, several Tribe members start to get to know each other a bit more. As they continue talking, Axe, Eastwood and Zig start to appreciate each other greatly, as well as the whole Tribe's chaotic approach to winning challenges, as pioneered by the combined efforts of that alliance. This consolidates that group's power and unity, making them a much more formidable team.

TRIBAL COUNCIL

Voting time has, again, reached Stardust Tribe. Due to the discussion earlier, they reach their conclusion very quickly indeed. In no time at all, the votes come in, two votes to Kirby, and four votes... to Overhaul.

Vote Breakdown, if anybody needs it.

Damn, they must really like Kirby despite him being a little pink dictator. I'd start looking for the immunity idol about now if I were you, Neptune.

Edited by IchigoMontoya on Nov 18th 2019 at 9:06:37 AM

They must be simply enamored by his cuteness...

EPISODE FIVE

Here is a recap of who is still in the Survivor Simulator.

The Stardust Tribe Alliance.

The Moonlight Tribe Alliances, unchanged from last time.

REWARD CHALLENGE

For the first Challenge of this episode, each Tribe must select three members. Stardust Tribe selects Kirby, the Dissolsaber, and Moonlight Cookie, and Moonlight Tribe selects Gamechanger, Eastwood, and Samwise. They are then told that this Challenge has three rounds, all of which will test the selected participants' accuracy. The first round involves knocking fruits off a wall with blowguns. Kirby is selected to do this challenge from Stardust Tribe, whereas Eastwood is selected to perform the task for Moonlight Tribe. While Eastwood is mostly accurate with this ranged weapon, Kirby just has enough breathing power to utilise the blowgun to its highest potentia. Next, a slingshot will be used to knock fruits out of trees. Moonlight Cookie is selected from Stardust Tribe, and Samwise is selected from Moonlight Tribe. Samwise clears this task with great ease, while Moonlight Cookie is still getting used to the non-magical sling. For the final part of the Challenge, Gamechanger and the Dissolsaber must try to hit a target with a spear; the one closest to the bullseye will win the Challenge. Due to the technology-aided accuracy granted by Gamechanger's gear and Dissolsaber's targeting systems, this takes a while. Each participant constantly hits the bullseye, until everyone gets bored and tosses a coin. The Dissolsaber calls heads, Gamechanger calls tails... the coin lands on tails, and to nobody's suprise, Moonlight Tribe wins... again.

IMMUNITY CHALLENGE

The Immunity Challenge consists of one Tribe member having to row a boat (The Dissolsaber and Axe for their respective tribes), and the others being in the ocean. Obviously, the rowers need to get the others onto the boat and rescue their tribes. It is already much more difficult for Moonlight Tribe to perform this task; after all, they have more Tribe members than Stardust Tribe. However, Moonlight Tribe overperforms, with Axe managing to save most of the Tribe before Stardust has only one member missing. As Stardust Tribe looks for Power, not noticing her as easily amongst the blue sea, Moonlight Tribe is on to their final members. When Stardust Tribe finally rescues Power... it is too late, Moonlight Tribe has rescued all of their members.◊

EVENTS

The Stardust Tribe is much quieter now. Barely any discussion is had, except amongst the Alliance, regarding who they should remove from the Tribe during the vote. They come to a conclusion, one that they will enforce...

Meanwhile, Moonlight Tribe holds a party! The entire Tribe has been doing spectacularly, and everyone is feeling much closer to each other. Even the opposing alliances seem to having friendly chatter. And nobody seems closer to each other now than Gamechanger, Likulau and Samwise, who restrenghten their long-buried alliance.

TRIBAL COUNCIL

A vote doesn't need to be held; the Alliance of Stardust Tribe could easily announce who will leave right now. But one will be held out of tradition.They chose based off of popularity; they knew that Neptune wasn't liked by many during their experience in Borneo. So, they chose to keep her around and, unfortunately, remove Power Stroke from the tribe. Much protest is had from Neptune, and she even asks to take Power's place. But the Alliance wasn't having any of it.

Vote Breakdown.

Oof, press F for Pow-Pow.

Not bad for a mook, Axe.
