Survivor: Oh Craps (Application/Rules/Description)

This nature of this game is about 85% luck and 15% strategy. Like DerB's Clue game, this is a concept game that I am interested in testing out to see if it might be developed into a multi-season game like Werewolves/Mafia.

GAMEPLAY

Tribal/Group Stage
- The players will be split into tribes. Each member of each tribe will roll the dice (two 6 sided dice) once. The tribe with the highest combined score will be safe from elimination. The losing tribe will be up for elimination.
- I will then roll and tell the losing tribe what the stipulations for the round will be (see below).
- The losing tribe's members will then reroll two 6 sided dice. Depending upon the limitations/rules for the round, two or more people will be nominated for elimination from the losing tribe.
- Once all members from the losing tribe have rerolled and 2+ nominees have been named, the WINNING tribe's members will then vote for one of the nominees to be eliminated.

Individual Stage
- I will roll and tell the players what the stipulations for the round will be (see below).
- Depending upon the rules for the round, 2+ nominees will be up for elimination.
- The remaining players will then vote for one of the nominees to be eliminated.


DJ'S ROLLING RULES

If DJ rolls a...
1 : The two players who roll the highest number will be nominated for elimination.
2 : Players will be rolling for each other - the two lowest numbers rolled will be nominated for elimination.
3 : DJ will roll a number from 1 to 100. Players will roll one 100 sided die, and the two players who are furthest from the number I roll will be nominated for elimination.
4 : The play who rolls the highest number and the player who rolls the lowest number will be nominated for elimination.
5 : There will be no rolling this round, players will instead name two people they want to see nominated for elimination. The two people who receive the most nominations will be up for elimination.
6 : The two players who roll the lowest number will be nominated for elimination.


RULES

1. You MUST participate fully every round! If you do not roll the dice/forget to roll/refuse to roll because you are too nice of a person, you will be automatically up for elimination. If more than two people do not participate, than three or more people can be up for elimination.
2. Each round will last 48 hours or so.
3. Absolutely NO talking or strategizing outside of this forum! This is modeled after the Mafia blanket rule in order to keep roles secret. You may talk within the forum about the game, but no IMs, PMs, emails, etc. regarding strategy and alliances.

If you had any questions on how you would roll the dice:

1. Hit the Post Reply Button.
2. Type a message.
3. To roll two six sided die, set the menu to this:
'Dice1' , '2'
4. To roll one one-hundred sided die, set the menu to this:
'Dice100' , '1'

Hit the Send button, and Tim the Enchanter will do the rest for you (your dice roll will appear directly after your post in a separate post by Tim the Enchanter.

I may join but I'd like to wait and see before I do. I have been taking a break from games but this seems like it'll be a fun game. I'm not gonna be around at all this weekend though so I wanna wait.
When are you planning on closing applications or are you just waiting until you have enough people?

Pete - I don't have a set number of people that I'm looking to have sign up and there isn't really a deadline for sign ups yet (I figure maybe give it a week and start sometime late next week).

Like I said, the game is about 85% luck (with rolling) and 15% strategy (with voting off someone and the off-chance that you might nominate someone too). I tried to curb the strategizing/alliances by implementing the rule that no one is allowed to talk about the game outside of this forum.

I'd love it if you played! But if not, no worries as well. If this one works out I hope to make it a staple here at ORG Planet. Like I said there really isn't a deadline on the sign ups, but I'd say about a week.

are we going to each have an individual twist attached to each player?

like Person A, B, C

If person A is voted off, next tribal council will be double elimination
If person B is voted off, they can give a hidden immunity idol to someone
If person C is voted off, they can put negative numbers to dice roll on someone as a handicap?

Because this is the first go-around I'm going to keep it simple, just because there's already 6 or so different rules in effect depending upon the host rolling. However, I do like the idea Thian...maybe in the future?

Sure, no worries,

probably how it would work is, not allowing anyone to know if they get voted off what the twist attached to them would be, to prevent strategizing who to vote out based on what would be the better twist?.

^^^What he said.

I decided I would play and try this out. It seems simple enough. I will do my best to be as active as I can be, starting a new job next week, plus am spending time away from home a lot lately. Excited to see how this is gonna go
