Season Four is Here!


Although it's a rival show on a rival network, in honor of The Amazing Race and The Apprentice starting up again, and because Survivor has a game named after it, and because TAR still has the emmy, I figured that TAR should have its own game.

Given how the object of Survivor is to vote off everyone until there's one person left, leading to voting people out of survival games, since the object of The Amazing Race is to race to the finish line (while teams get Philiminated in the process), there should be a game where the object is to go as high as possible.

As a result, rather than to taking away points from candidates as the main objective, in this game, the main objective is to give as many points as possible to every candidate. Of course, you can subtract points from the candidates, and I'll get into that real soon.


How to Play

In case you're new to the game: All of the very important rules are right here. Sorry I can't fit the rules as a whole here, there's nothing I can do about that. I'll demonstrate how to submit and make any necessary changes along the way if and when there's an error in taking or giving points. In addition, ignore the Non-Elimination Info; the new info is explained right here:


Non-Elimination Info

• Finally, in an attempt to "channel" the Non-Elimination bonus, during the TOG level-increase when candidates could end of being eliminated, someone can spare any candidate from being out of the game. Since I'm a believer of "once you're out, you stay out," I'm no longer having people come back into the game when they've been eliminated (and come to think of it, no one ever decided to bring them back, so no harm done). For example, when the TOG levels increase, and a candidate or candidates is or are in the hole or under the mandatory points necessary to move on, someone can decide to spare that candidate or those candidates.
• However, this can only happen 4 times throughtout the entire game, as in 4 times total (not 4 per participant), and it can only occur after the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Elimination Points, or upon a candidate reaching 100, 300, and 600 points respectively.
• Also, and this is pretty important, after the first TOG Increase/Elimination Point where the leading candidate reaches 100 points, for the first level, no may only spare up to two candidates (thus saving the other two or more for the 2nd and 3rd TOG Level Increase where the leading candidate would be at 300 and 600 respectively).

Here's the list of Participants. This first game features the Season Four Cast, starring:

Remember, you may choose to take or give points to up to five candidates, and in addition you may play the game up to twice a day. However, one set of TOG'S a day, and you can't double post.

I'll get things started, to show y'all the proper format for this game:

If you all have any questions, please ask. This new game is a change from the Suvival Games IMO, and hopefully it'll work out. I'll try to be around to guide everyone through this new game, so that it runs well. Good luck!

I think it would be good to try to set a new record low score for Melissa before she's eliminated.
