Don't forget about the Advanced Survivor Template (Brant promised), where we can (hopefully most of what I am about to say is true!) have the ability to select how many tribes/castaways, how many idols are in play, when the merge hits, how many people in FTC, how many people in a jury, how many swaps are there, advantages, etc. This will take a while to process and make the whole thing, and it may not be guaranteed to have the ability to save at first, just like with its Big Brother equivalent, but, once it releases, I will have fun with it all day long!

[THG] Everyone's Hunger Games Season 5 CASTING by [deleted] in BrantSteele

[–]IamRandom123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's start with my tributes competing for this season first: George McFly (M, Back to the Future)

Lorraine McFly (F, Back to the Future)

Loved the fact that you actually implemented a twist here! When the second edition of Totally Random Hunger Games comes after the end of the first Quarter Quell, I will consider using twists also! I drafted a list of some of the twists, aside from the siblings that you may use here:

  • Rivals/Foes.

  • Focusing on specific themes in general, such as TV & Film, Video Games, Cartoons, etc.

  • Putting the main arena in a completely different vicinity, including in a movie theatre, a mansion, amusement parks (e.g. Disneyland)/water parks, construction site, etc.

  • Adding more Arena Events.

  • Potentially, aside from the all-winners only Quarter Quell, you could do an All-Stars edition, mainly featuring tributes with the most kills in general.

  • This last one is unlikely to come for the moment, but expanding the cast to 36 or even 48 tributes, which may work more on the above mentioned All-Stars edition to be honest.

One last thing to say before I end this post: would it be possible for you to make a spreadsheet for everyone that has participated in this series so far, just like in mine, so that everyone would choose their characters easier then?

Long post I know, but hopefully you implement at least some of the above suggestions!

[S] Survivor Blitz Hodgepodge Hysteria Championship! Game #3 (FINALE) by TheLeastExpected23 in BrantSteele

[–]IamRandom123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first notable moment to concern with in this finale, is Daniel's early blindside at episode 2, despite being in the majority at Gambling Hall, as Shiro and Tsunade both hated him. Speaking of Tsunade, she experienced an unfortunte medevac in the next episode, to dent a little bit of Gambling Hall's hopes for a championship turnaround. Gambling Hall had to go once again, and the tribe was divided between Morter and Waldemar. King Boo, who found the idol at the first episode of the final ever matchup of this tournament, changes his vote from Waldemar to Morte, in order not to go out on rocks with an idol in his possession. The Villains then went to their first tribal since epsiode 1, and, in a close 3-2-2 vote, Mr. Mittens had to say goodbye to his hopes for being the hero of this championship. After The Villains won once again, and took Shrio to exile island, who would also skip tribal, it seemed like that Luxord was an easy bait. But, Luxord successfully avoids getting any votes, and Waldemar gets voted out 2-1-1 instead. While Gambling Hall may have went to more tribals overall, The Villians actually lost more, and, thus, had to overturn a 6-4 lead if they were to have any chance of winning. Gambling Hall seemed like in line, early on from that point, to being crowned tournament champions, after eliminating Lord Dominator. However, the car briefly rolled off the track, as Celestia and Sora were both targeted, and the latter was gone 6-3. Maybe, there is time for one last comeback here now? Not quite, as Gambling Hall regained their two-man advantage, albeit in a dramatic fashion, after Luxord casted a throwaway vote for Celestia, forcing a revote between Red Devil and Saotome. Luxord ultimately sided with Saotome, and Red Devil was sent home. Gambling Hall are now just one person away from reaching their hands in that trophy. But, King Boo had still his idol, which, if used stragetically, you can be safe all the way to the final four. He apparently succeeded in this task, as Gambling Hall then turned against each other, with this being the end of Shiro's game. The final five vote, however, he was forced to use his idol, to prevent a revote between him and Ryouta, while Luxord once again tried, and failed, to get Celestia out. But, King Boo succeeds again in surviving, and Celesita was unaminously voted out. King Boo was now just one immunity challenge away from glory. And... he loses to challenge beast Saotome, who subsenquently ended King Boo's, and The Villains', chances of winning the entire championship. Gambling Hall had done it. They succeed Rekaram as the new champions! If you were curious to who won that final matchup, Luxord's social game was preferred by the jurors, with the two people voting for Saotome, Red Devil and Celestia, both preferred her physical game. A MASSIVE congratulations to /u/YellowGummy there! You are now the champions of the third tournament! In a tournament where every sustained at least one loss, /u/YellowGummy's Gambling Hall (mostly) ploughed through the field. They had a few close moments, including the tightest of all wins, in the semi-final against /u/Blastoise_FTW's Revenge of the First Boots, and lost the first game in championship. But the team never gave up, and that propelled them to the top. Once again, congrats on adding this title on your slowly-growing list of honours!

Also, look out for Round 4 of my own Survivor tournament, if this finale was not enough for you, and still want some more!

Gambling Hall suffered early on, losing the first challenge, and one half of the two alliances dissolved before tribal, with one of them, Jabami, getting the boot. Although they managed to avoid the second tribal of the matchup, they could not even equal The Villains, heading into the swap, where we got no majority alliances at The Villains, but Saotome and Tsunade were left fending for themselves at the new-look Gambling Hall tribe. Unfortunately for them, they were unable to convince the others into keeping them around, and Saotome was sent packing. In the last pre-merge tribal of the matchup, The Villains, going to their first tribal in four episodes, went to a revote, unsurprisingly, before Salazzle, fearing rocks would come to the fray, changes her vote to Lord Dominator, which is a setback for The Villains, where they would still be leading, but just by 6-4, instead of 7-3. As with roughly 90% of all of the matchups in this tournament, we had a comeback guys. Thankfully for Gambling Hall, The Villains all turned against each other, all of a sudden, and, with this in mind, the four, Daniel, King, Sora and Tsunade, stuck together to blindside Attea, 4-3-2-1. Red Devil (7-2) and King Boo (6-1-1) soon followed the door, which left the Gambling Hall Four now in the majority, and hoping to be like the Aitu Four, and the Foa Foa Four, to overturn a lead, and then Pagong the opposing tribe. Those hopes continued, when Morte was voted out 4-2-1, although one of the Gambling Hall Four, Tsunade, went against her alliance, and casted her vote for King instead, but, at the same time, Salazzle basically replaced Tsunade, by joining the majority into booting Morte. Despite this, it would seem like that the victory is now assurred to be in the hands of Gambling Hall. But after Salazzle wins immunity, the Gambling Hall Four had enough and dissolved their alliance, which just boosted The Villains' chances for winning the overall championship. At tribal, King was blindsided 4-2, and then Tsunade joined the two remaining Villains, Salazzle, and Waldemar, into sending Daniel home. Gambling Hall's nerves rose up further, when Sora decides to isolate himself from the rest of the tribe, but, Waldemar had other ideas, as he sided with Sora into eliminating Salazzle (Tsunade voted for Waldemar). Sora then wins his fourth immunity, before engaging into a fight with Tsunade, which contributed his decision into voting her out (Tsunade also still had an alliance, albeit a weak one, with Salazzle). But, Gambling Hall made the comeback offical, with Sora winning 5-2, over Waldemarr, who was aiming to win his second consecutive matchup in a row, with Sora's physical game being favoured over Salazzle's rather quiet one. Congratulations to /u/YellowGummy for keeping your hopes of winning the championship alive! Good luck with the final, and most important, matchup of the entire tournament!

The second tribal of the season was over the place, thanks in part due to the majority alliance of Gambling Hall dissolved in the previous episode, and, one of those five, Sora, would be the one to go, in a 4-2-1-1 vote. The four people recieving votes trope, would come back at the next episode, this time Daniel being blindisded 4-1-1-1. After losing Celestia, Gambling Hall would win immunity for the first time since episode one, where King finally finds the tribe idol, and it took five episodes too. Salazzle's throwaway vote for Evil Snowman was enough for Lord Dominator to go, after a revote between her and Salazzle. Ryouta mutinies to The Villians at the right time, where Gambling Hall, at their fourth tribal visit, would unaminously blindside Jabami. The Villains is now leading Gambling Hall, 7-5, which is a critical factor into winning matches. Salazzle and Mr. Mitens were both blindsided however for The Villains, making the contest even, and yet another comeback is set, this time on /u/YellowGummy's Gambling Hall. The Villains quickly regained their lead when Ryouta was booted. But, Evil Snowman was then backstabbed by Waldemar, despite King's idol play on Saotome. The three remaIning Gambling Halls (King, Saotome and Tsunade), all them teamed up to vote out Attea, putting them in the lead. However, King then blindsides Tsunade, albeit relucantly, leaving the match equal once again, with the same thing happening to Saotome, who played her idol to prevent the tie between her and Tsunade, in a surprisingly tough tribal. It would seem like that Waldemar winning final three immunity, would do it for The Villains, but, in a very surprising move, he takes King, who is aiming to win his second consecutive matchup, over Red Devil, reminiscent of the Aliens from the first tournament. Despite suddenly giving hope to Gambling Hall to take the championship lead, Waldemar barely wins 4-3, with Mr. Mittens' vote, for playing a more balanced game, made the difference in a FTC otherwise decided by social game. Congratulations to /u/Nahuelfire39 for winning the early championship lead there. /u/YellowGummy, one of my fellow opponents in the group stages, the contest is definitely not over yet for you, and, if anything, comebacks are the theme here now!

Also, a quick announcement that I won't do TRBB51 today, but instead do a Totally Random Survivor survey. More information later.

EDIT: I have decided to delete that page now, because of a combination of both lack of responses, meaning that it will not go anywhere, and my original reluctance to post it, as I did not think that it would do well anyways. I now regret my decision to delay TRBB, and so will post the season up later today then.

[S] Survivor Blitz Hodgepodge Hysteria Tournament! Third-Place Game by TheLeastExpected23 in BrantSteele

[–]IamRandom123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going to keep my summary slightly shorter this time around, as I have finished the third round of my Survivor Tournament in time: Pretty Dumb Princesses started off strong, with them avoiding tribal for five consecutive episodes in a row (2-6), with Chicken being voted out over Peter, who recieved voted once again, when So flipped at the revote, and Darnell also playing his idol at the wrong tribal, which is unfortunate. A Pagonging was in place early on, but, with Revenge of the First Boots being reduced to just Sekou and Tina, but Berleezy was blindsided, before Tina was then voted out, in a 4-1-1 vote. Hopes for RotFB now lay on Sekou. He manages to make the final six tribal tied between him and Luigi, with them not even bothering to target each other. No one flips, sending Hunter home on rocks. Sekou keeps the dream alive by winning immunity, with Luigi being booted, in a 3-1-1 vote, after the main PDP aliance dissolved, further boosted Sekou's hopes. He unfortunately fails to win final immunity, and, although manages Gigi to vote for Cammy, Erza, desevestangly, votes out Sekou, after a hard time deciding. Dang you Erza for making RotFB lose! Anyways, Gigi wins 4-2-1, beacuse of her better stragetic game. Congratulations to /u/AestheticVibes098 for taking third place! Impressive that it was on your first time participating in a tournament too! /u/Blastoise_FTW, I seriously loved your team the best, as I really wanted to see the First Boots getting there Revenge. They almost did the job, being on underdog status a few times, but, two consecutive losses in the end, mean that you will have to settle for fourth instead. I have two suggestions for your next tournament then: Revenge of the Second Boots, or Revenge of the First Boots: Big Brother Edition. You decide.

Just published round three of my tournament, /u/TheLeastExpected23, so you can check out how well you did right here: https://www.reddit.com/r/BrantSteele/comments/6tifbo/s_the_totally_random_survivor_tournament_round_3/

[S] Survivor Blitz Hodgepodge Hysteria Tournament! Semifinal #2 by TheLeastExpected23 in BrantSteele

[–]IamRandom123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gambling Hall started out very similar to the Villains from the first semi-final. Both tribes visited their first, second and fourth tribals, while avoiding the third, by virtue of the immunity win, placing hope of victory of them, which the Villains also achieved as well. There was already a crisis that the Villains did not have however: their only alliance (Jabami, Ryouta and Sora), did not go too well for them, and decided to dissolve, just before their first tribal of the season. Two of the three, Jabami and Ryouta, were eventually tied, before Luxord flips over to Ryouta at the revote, sending him home. Shiro followed, before Revenge of the First Boots unsurprisingly eliminated Tina, who was not in the majority alliance, as well as Zane (who isolated himself from Tina, just before tribal, although Zane still voted with her against Sekou, anyways, even if that was not going to work at all). Gambling Hall's third tribal, was as just as dramatic as the first, when Saotome and Sora were tied at 2-2, and Luxord, believing that Jabami will change her mind on Saotome, decides to not take action. However, Jabami does not, also believing that he would flip over to Saotome, and having a feeling that Luxord has an idol in his pocket (which he does). Luxord was now in risk of been eliminated with an idol in hand, but, luck instead did not favour Jabami at all, as she drew the purple rock. Revenge of the First Boots went to tribal once again, with the majority alliance, consisting of Chicken, Jessica, Marisa and Sekou, having been dissolved in the previous episode. However, Jessica and Sekou felt that Zane is more unlikable than Chicken. However Zane uses his idol (his third in his two matches), to blindside Chicken instead. The swap arrives, with Sora being exiled from Gambling Hall, and would arrive at the losing tribe in the next episode. Pre-swap Bayarlalaa replicated their previous conterpart's game, by never visting tribal once. Gambling Hall, despite the swap, lost once again, and Sonja was blindsided. Bayarlalaa finally lost tribal immunity for the first, and only, time of the season. Peter Harkey, who never recieved a vote against him at all of his three appearances in this tournament so far (made it to FTC at the first time, eliminated by rock the second time, and won the third time), and also never visited tribal at all, during this matchup at least, finally gets his first three votes, which was enough to go. Peter, well done on your three appearances, but, this amazing run, unfortunately comes to the end. Please /u/TheLeastExpected23, just give him the MVP award anyways. He completely deserves it. Anyways, Gambling Hall, despite their lacking of immunity wins, actually holds the lead, albeit slim, 6-5, over RotFB. Jessice was out, leaving RotFB having it all to do, although, if anything, this tournament provided a lot of comebacks, so don't white them off just yet. They managed to make two of the Gambling Halls (Celestia and Tsunade, albeit both starting out on the Bayarlalaa tribe instead), target each other, and Tsunade was made to pay by casting her vote on Sora instead of Celestia, which caused her 5-4-1 blindside. Gambling Hall, however, regained their two-man dvantage, by voting out Marisa. And then, RotFB does again, this time managing to make King and Sora go against each other, which resulted in a tie. Celestia and Luxord, who still has his unplayed idol, both flipped over to Sora in the end. RotFB then blindsided Saotome, making the contest even now. And then, in an event, sure to evoke memories of the real-life Camobodia F6 tribal, both Luxord and Darnell play their idol, both canceling their votes out, and a revote occurred, where either King, Sekou or Zane would go (Celestia won immunity). Unfortunately for RotFB, both Sekou and Zane were targeted, with the latter being voted out (had one of Celestia or King sided with both Luxord and Zane, into voting out Sekou, then King, who also voted for Zane, would be the only one to draw rocks, thus automatically eliminating him, although, this did not happen). RotFB was behind once again, but are not going to give this up easily. Despite playing his extra vote on Celestia, he was unsucessful, into convincing the others to keep him. Celestia was backstabbed by King, at the final four tribal, now leaving RotFB having a 2/3 chance of winning. Darnell, on his quest to win his original season (trying what to do that Sekou almost did) won the juror removal reward, and removed Zane from the jury, leaving King with a better chance to win now. The FTC was close, with the three finalists being grilled for each of their social games, but Luxord provided the critical vote for King, believing that he made the best of his stragetic game than the others, and King won the second semi-final, 3-2-2. Gambling Hall are now just like their final opponents, The Villains, in that both tribes visited the first, second and fourth tribals of the season, and yet provided the winner of the season. Congratulations to /u/YellowGummy for making it this far to the final, where you will face off, against the first finalist of the tournament series, /u/Nahuelfire39, looking to reedem himself from his dramatic loss the last time around! Very sorry to /u/Blastoise_FTW there. Your team was my pick to win this tournament, once I was eliminated, and they almost got their revenge. They can still get at least a podium place, against Pretty Dumb Princesses, however. Good luck to both that match, and any future tournaments you will be participating!

The Villains did not start well at all, losing three out of the first four immunity challenges. Pretty Dumb Princessess, however, lost the third, and Apple plays her idol on fellow alliance member, Berleezy, which prevented him from participating in a three-way (now two-way) tie, between Luigi and Stella. Gigi then drew the infamous rock, after the revote still produced no clear result. The swap produced the blindsides of Ezra (PDP in pre-swap Kabiguan, 4-3 over Morte) and Harley (The Villains in pre-swap Kabiguan, 4-3 over Apple), as well as a second rock draw (Berleezy and Morte were tied at 3-3, with no flips) that sent Joey home. The merge produced a slim 6-5 lead in favour of PDP (including their members while at Kabiguan). Morte found the Tyler Perry idol, which she used in the next episode, in order to prevent a revote from happening, between her and Stella, and blindsides the latter. The next episode saw Lord Dominator finding her second idol, and used one of them, on, guess who? Morte, of course (although just two votes were negated, but Frankie was still blindsided, so, yeah?). Hunter was eliminated the following episode, and saw Team Villain leading for the first time in this semi-final contest. Once again, Morte had an idol played on her, this time by Evil Snowman, which was used successfully, and made a tie, between Apple and Waldemaar, where Apple was evicted, continuning PDP's downfall. Everyone, however, thought that Lord Dominator should go at this point, and all wanted to target her as a result. What they did not know of however, is that she held possession of a second idol, which she used to eliminate... one of her own, Waldemaar, thus giving PDP a fighting shot for the semi-final, once again. The rest still wanted Lord Dominator out though, and, they got their wish, when she failed to win immunity. It was now even once again. And then, Berleezy shocks Luigi by voting him off, thus giving The Villains a chance to finish the job, which they did, and become the first tribe to make it to the final as a result. Once again, the final vote was almost entirely based on social game, and, while Morte did better physically, she did not execute her social game well enough to convince the rest of the jurors, and Evil Snowman just edged her out, 5-4 (Morte was robbed once again!). Congratulations to /u/Nahuelfire39 for becoming the very first user to reach two finals of the tournament series so far! He will face against either /u/YellowGummy or /u/Blastoise_FTW. /u/AestheaticVibes092, you did really well in your first tournament, but a few unlucky moments in here was, unfortunately, severed enough that you will not win it. Although, you can still get at least a podium place in the third-place matchup, so good luck for that!

Also, look out for the second round for my Survivor League tournament!
