PPT Survivor
Overview
The concept of this game is similar to that of the reality TV show
Survivor - that is, outwit, outplay, outlast, but with a few differences. Participants will be divided into 2 tribes and will compete against each other in reward challenges and immunity challenges. Tribes will have to vote out their tribemates on a regular basis.
The game will take place in 3-day-blocks (1 game cycle = three real days). Within this three days, there will be 3 main events: the Reward Challenge, Immunity Challenge, and Tribal Council.
(BTW, I do vaguely remember that a similar Survivor game was held here a few months back, but since it is no longer running I took the liberty to create one of my own)
Tribes
Players will be evenly and randomly split into two tribes. Each tribe will have their own thread to post in and players cannot post in the thread of the other tribe. Discussion about the game and challenges will take place in these threads.
Each tribe must also elect a tribe leader. The leader will represent his/her tribe to send in solutions for challenges and such. The tribe leader will also have other responsibilies which will be revealed at a later date. It is important that an active forumer be chosen as a tribe leader.
Should the tribe leader be voted out, a new one will be elected by the tribe.
Challenges
Challenges can take on any form, such as a puzzle/conundrum, graphics design, a quest to find something on Neopets, or even something to do with PPT. In the challenges, the two tribes compete against each other to see who completes it first. That is until, of course, the merger, where it is every man (and woman) for himself.
Reward Challenge
This challenge gives out points. The tribe which wins a reward challenge will gain some points (the amount depends on the challenge). Once a tribe accumulates enough points, they will get a special incentive. What incentive, you may ask? I won't reveal too much now, but suffice to say that the incentives are rather good.
Immunity Challenge
In the TV show, this challenge determines which tribe has to go to tribal council.
However! Here's a twist: Every two days, both tribes
must vote someone out from their tribe. This means that both tribes must go to tribal council. However, the tribe which loses the immunity challenge must vote out two people instead of one.
Voting and Tribal Council
Voting will take place via PM. Each player will send in his votes to me before the the time cutoff (to be decided at a later date, after hearing responses from players).
The person with the most votes will be voted out of the game. In the case of the losing tribe, the first two players with the most votes will be voted out.
Once a player is voted out, he is allowed one last post to say any final words he has, but after that cannot post in the game thread anymore or discuss the game with the other players in private.
In the case of a tie, I would usually choose the unfortunate person using a randomiser. There may be circumstances where a different way of tie-breaking is used, but that shall be revealed when the time comes.
IMPORTANT! If a player fails to vote, he or she will automatically be ousted from the tribe, instead of the person who was chosen by the other tribe members. In the case of more than one person not voting, my randomiser will make the decision. If you are actually reading this, when you sign up write "cheese" anywhere in your post. Don't worry though, there should be a full 24 hours for everyone to send in their votes, so as long as you come on daily this should not happen to you.
Merger
Once the numbers of both tribes are substantially decreased, there will be a merger. There will be no warning when the merger is going to come. After the merger, reward and immunity challenges will be conducted on an individual basis, ie the first player to complete the challenge will be the winner (for that challenge).
Surprises and twists
Occasionally, there may be a few surprises and twists in the game. But of course, since they are surprises, I can't reveal them so soon, right?
Winning and prizes
Now comes the part you've all been waiting for... prizes!
There will only be
one sole survivor in this game, who will walk away with the grand prize of
100,000 neopoints! (I'm still not rich enough to give out 1 million np just like that
)
Therefore, ultimately, it is each individual for himself, so do not place too much trust in alliances (of course they are still very important)... feel free to lie, backstab and use every dirty trick in the book to emerge as the sole SURVIVOR.
Last thing to note: The details here are subject to minor changes based on player feedback.

Signups and questions
I am looking for
24 players to join this game. Signups are on a first-come-first-served basis (please read through the game details before signing up though), and everyone is welcome to join.
To sign up, post:
1) What period of time you can be online usually (in NST). Please give me a period of time instead of just your time zone.
2) Why you should be the sole PPT survivor
Do note that regular activity is required in this game, so do not sign up if you cannot be on everyday, or at least once every two days.
Also, if you have any questions or see any problems in the game system, feel free to post them here.
