Survivor

[Tempest]

Welcome to Survivor! The rules for the game can be found here (http://www.werewolf.com/vb/showthread.php?t=1114).

Here are the teams, which were created randomly:

Team 1
MorganaFang
west
MetaKittie
McKitty

Team 2
GoldenHowl
Wolfx
NightDeath
GoddessWolf

Your first task is to select a team leader, who will coordinate the team and will be responsible for submitting team entries. This isn't a challenge, so there won't be a winner or loser and no one will be eliminated. You have until June 23 at 11:00 pm EST. Post your vote for the team leader in this thread. Oh and please bold the name of the person you're voting for, just for my sake.

[GoddessWolf]

Wolfx

[MorganaFang]

west

[Wolfx]

GoddessWolf

[Golden Howl]

GoddessWolf

[McKitty]

West

[NightDeath]

GoddessWolf

[Tempest]

Results are in!

Team 1 leader: west
Team 2 leader: GoddessWolf

The first challenge is to come up with a team name and logo. When I say logo, I mean a simple image that represents your team, like sports team logos. I will judge the entries based on creativity. Bonus points if you can make me laugh (this isn't hard to do, by the way). Each team submits one entry, which is to be posted in this thread by the team leader.

Because this is the first challenge, and also will require a lot of teamwork, I'll give a little extra time to complete it. Entries are to be submitted by June 26 at 11:00 pm EST. If people are having trouble getting it done, I can extend it, but I think 3 days is plenty of time. I'd suggest either working with your team through PMs or chat. Have fun! :cool:

[Tempest]

How are the teams doing with this challenge? Should I extend the deadline?

[GoddessWolf]

Well I did my best to try to get the image of our logo a bit clearer through some editing, but it's still a bit blurry. I hope this is a good enough image though.

Damn, I'm kinda wishing I'd decided to use a poll rather than deciding myself who the winner is. Both are good and creative, and it's a hard choice. I have to go with AGNW though. Remembering that Nickelodeon show about Camp Anawanna made me grin.

So, Grunting Ogres, I'm afraid you'll have to vote someone off. Post your vote here. Feel free to plead your case or whatever, just don't get too insulting. I know weekends are a little slow on the site, so voting will close Monday at noon EST.

Thank you Tempest and I believe the show title you are looking for is "Salute Your Shorts". :)

[Tempest]

I'm keeping voting open until Tuesday at 11:00 am EST. Would it be easier if you the votes were just PMed to me? Are people afraid to cast the first stone? If there still aren't any votes by tomorrow at 11, I'm rolling a 4 sided die so we can move on--unless not everyone is participating? I'd like to get the next challenge up by tomorrow so the holiday weekend doesn't interfere.

[Golden Howl]

Unless not everyone is participating? I'd like to get the next challenge up by tomorrow so the holiday weekend doesn't interfere.

Well, from what I know, it was only GoddessWolf & myself who participated. The other two on my team didn't private message me, so I assume they didn't join in. I will be absent this 4th of July weekend. I'm going out of town, just thought I'd give you a heads up Tempest.

I was PMing GoddessWolf because she forwarded me the message you sent. I forgot that you wouldn't receive the message I sent to her.

[Tempest]

I'm not planning on having a challenge for the 4th of July weekend because the site will probably be dead and I also have plans. Honestly the site's been pretty dead in general. This might have been better to do in the fall or something, when people seem to be on more often.

[Golden Howl]

Ah, I understand. For the next challenge we'll have to keep this in mind. Forgive me for jumping to conclusions.

I'm usually the most active during the summer time. It's probably, because the site was recently hacked.

[Tempest]

Alright, MetaKittie has been voted off.

Here is the second challenge! PM me the answers to these riddles by July 2 at 11:00 pm.

Riddle 1:
An ebon spirit rises high
Child of air and fire
Born in death yet by wind borne
It flies but does not tire

It takes your life without a wound
Of that you can be sure
And though it claws into your eyes
It too may also cure.

Riddle 2:

I’m never orange,
Though yellow can be.
A bard’s good friend,
In his songs you find me.
In a child’s book kept,
And in ballads too,
I’ll be you’re surprised
Not to find me right here.

Riddle 3:

Without a mouth
Yet I can talk.
The mountains are my home,
Through the hills I walk.

Riddle 4:

A few have two, and many none,
A few have eight, but none have one,
The most have six, and lots have four,
A few have many, many more.

Riddle 5:

It is cold and it is hot
It is white and it is dark
It is stone and it is wax
But its true nature is meat
And it’s colour is red.

Riddle 6:

Relaxed I sit upon my perch
Till suddenly I give a lurch
And off I speed on wing-tips three
Before my prey can think to flee.
I make its flesh and tendons part
And claw my way into its heart.


I've also made a cryptogram, which can be found here (http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t45/Rashuninda/crypto.jpg). If you solve the cryptogram, you will see that it's another riddle which you should also solve. You don't have to do all of these riddles or the cryptogram, but the more you do, the more chances you have of winning. Good luck!

Edit - Also, none of these riddles can be found online, so don't waste your time. ;)

[Tempest]

Well, I only got answers from AGNW, so Grunting Ogres, you have until July 7 at noon EST to vote someone off. PM me your votes! After that the teams will be dissolved, so it will be each player for his/her own.

The answers to the riddles:
1) Smoke
2) Rhyme
3) Echo
4) Legs
5) Human Heart
6) An Arrow

The cryptogram:
Housed in crumbling temple, unseen by the eye,
Eternal and breathless, never to die.
It's said that I'm lost if your life's goal is greed,
Treasure's you've stored up that I'll never need.

The answer was Soul.

[Tempest]

Is everything okay over there, Grunting Ogres? I didn't receive any votes. Please get some votes to me by tomorrow or I'm just going to randomly pick someone.

[Tempest]

Oh my god, I'm quadruple posting! I rolled a die, and McKitty has been voted off. For the next challenge, remember that the teams have been disbanded and you are now playing on your own. So each player needs to participate in this next challenge. I'm putting my foot down: If you don't post something for this next challenge, you're automatically out of the game. If there's something going on and you can't get your entry in in time, just PM me. I'm pretty understanding when it comes to real life things.

The next challenge is to go here (http://onemorelevel.com/game/hamu). Play the game and try to get as high of a score as possible. Take a screenshot of your highest score and post it in this thread. To take a screenshot, push the "print screen" button, then open up MSPaint or a similar software and hit ctrl+v. The player with the highest score wins this challenge. It's a straightforward game; you don't need to be a gamer to do well at it. Please post your entry by July 10 at 11:00 pm EST. Good luck!

I've searched the website for that particular button...and I cannot locate it. Would it be okay if I just took a picture of it and then posted it in my album??

[NightDeath]

76heres my score and the url
its 42300 you cant see it so well sorry I am incompetent and don't know how to better utilize my resources provided for me.

[GoddessWolf]

My score, 57,100. :)

It's not on the website, it's on your keyboard. On a laptop it's above F10. Sorry, I should have been more specific.

Wolfx, can you attach your picture as a thumbnail? You can head over here (http://www.werewolf.com/vb/showthread.php?t=652) for a how to.

[MorganaFang]

You guys can also edit down the size of the image, the site sometimes does it for you but it doesn't hurt to be on that stuff your self.

Tempest I apologize for slacking, I'll be playing this game tonight. I has the summer fever!

[MorganaFang]

Double Post for score.

49400

[Wolfx]

Ok, here it is. I tried to get it as large as possible. The score is 60800 if you cant see it.

[Golden Howl]

81

The tiniest attachment to have ever existed on the planet earth...but it's the only thing I could manage to upload. I have no experience with attachments. My score was 63,500. I played the game numerous of times, I don't believe that's cheating, because there were no rules claiming you could only play once. :shrug: But if so, then I apologize in advance (And definitely lose by far in advance).

[Tempest]

I played the game numerous of times, I don't believe that's cheating, because there were no rules claiming you could only play once. :shrug:

That's a good point. Yes, you can play more than once; just post your best score. Did you read the attachment guide I linked? Your post is really tiny--not that I believe you would cheat, but for the sake of the rules.

Wolfx, I think your picture is okay. I have the PM one you sent me too, so you're good.

[Golden Howl]

That's a good point. Yes, you can play more than once; just post your best score. Did you read the attachment guide I linked? Your post is really tiny--not that I believe you would cheat, but for the sake of the rules.

Yes, I read the link you provided, it's somewhat complicated.... I'll spare you of the details, unless you need them. This picture is the best I can provide, if it doesn't work or measure up, then I understand.

You played Hamu, right? It looks different. :confused:

[west]

58000

[Tempest]

Sorry about the late post. The last day or so has been extremely busy for me and I didn't have time to log on.

The winner is GoldenHowl, with a score of 63,500. The remaining 5 will need to PM me their vote for who should be voted off. Remember that you can't vote for GoldenHowl since she has immunity. Please PM me your vote by July 13 at 11:00 pm.

[Tempest]

Okay, I have enough votes to end the round a little early. NightDeath has been voted off!

Next challenge! This is an acronym game. Take the following "acronyms" and use the letters to make a sentence:

Myth
Multiple
Edition
Barefooted
True
Secretly
Voltage
Irritated
Arrogant

As an example, maybe you would take the word true and make the sentence "Trustworthy Red-heads Undulate Erratically". Be creative, funny is a plus. Post your answers by June 15 at 11:00 pm.

[GoddessWolf]

MYTH: Memorizing yo-yo’s twirl haphazardly.

MULTIPLE: Many unclean lethal tazor’s incapacitate purple little elephants.

EDITION: Eating dirt is truly idiotic of Neanderthals.

BAREFOOTED: Behaviors are routinely explained for our own twisted eccentric discoveries.

TRUE: Trick rude uneducated eggheads.

SECRETLY: Simple explanations can really exempt tales like yours.

VOLTAGE: Very outrageous lightning takes ages gathering energy.

IRRITATED: Irresponsible rabbits rarely increase trouble acquiring tasty evergreen delicacies.

ARROGANT: A real remedy only gains attention near televising.

[Golden Howl]

Alright, with the limited time I had last night I whipped up some crazy ideas :D (Although I didn't come up with something for all words.)

Myth: Moronic Yo-yos Tell Hallucinations

Multiple: Mice Unravel Little Traps Inside, Patiently Luring Elders

Barefooted: Balding Assholes Rash Easily Facing Obvious Omens To Esteem Dwindling

Secretly: Shameful Erotic Celestial Relaxation Experiments Tossed Luxuriantly Yonder

Voltage: Victoria Observes Lumpy Tits As Grotesquely Exhibits

Arrogant: Ardently Raucous Rugrats Out Gaining Approval...Not Tenderly.

(Extra note: The Voltage one I created, I had no intentions of insulting or disrespecting those with breast cancer. I just realized that now. It was not directed towards them.)

[Tempest]

Okay, GoddessWolf wins this round. The other 4 need to PM me their vote by Friday at 11:00 pm. Remember, you can't vote for GW or yourself, and there are no abstains. I've been really lenient, but the rules I made up earlier say that anyone who isn't playing is going to be kicked out. I'm going to start enforcing that. If you have a problem and can't get an entry in on time, just PM me.

[Tempest]

Wolfx has been voted off.

Next challenge: Pick a song and draw a scene from the song, or just draw the imagery from it. You can use whatever song you want and whatever medium you want. SUMO paint (http://www.sumopaint.com/web/) is a good, free program if you want to use it. Just make sure to tell me what song you used. Post your entries by July 20th at 11:00 pm.

[Tempest]

I'm extending this until July 22 at 6:00 pm EST.

[Tempest]

The winner is Golden Howl. The remaining 3 need to vote someone off by July 24 at 11:00 pm. Those of you who didn't enter this round, make sure you vote this time or you're going to be out of the game.

[Tempest]

All the votes are in! GoddessWolf has been eliminated.

I'm thinking of doing west's chat trivia game Wednesday at around 7:10 pm EST. This would be the last challenge. Is this a good time for everyone?

[GoddessWolf]

Well it was fun while it lasted. :)

[Golden Howl]

Well it was fun while it lasted. :)
Well, I'm sure Tempest will have another Survivor game sometime in the future. This game is too good to only have once; it should be like the werewolf games except maybe a little less frequent.

If I do another one, it's going to be waaay in the future. I used all my creative powers to come up with these challenges, and I need to replenish them, lol. I'm happy people are enjoying it, though. If anyone else wants to run another one sometime after this, I'd be okay with that. :D

[Tempest]

Well, Golden Howl was the only one to show up to the chat trivia. Since I haven't heard from Morg or west at all, and it seems that there's been a pattern of inactivity, I'm declaring Golden Howl the winner. Congrats!
