Why not do a combination of two of these ideas, or perhaps of all three. Play the game with aliases and get the outside viewers in on the action in a side competition in the comments thread by discussing who they think is who. The users participating will try and mess up the guesses of those who are not playing while acting like they themselves are guessing. However, to keep the aliases in check, have each participant IM a moderator their alias name, just in case IPs coincide. RSF's ideas are implemented.

The players will be split up into teams and will compete for immunity, one players being voted off each week depending on the votes tallies of other players, a la HC Survivor. However, the competitions will be themed based on each of HC's different forums, featuring a different theme each week. This cycle can (and probably will) repeat if there are not enough forums to cover the time needed to declare a winner.

We could call it the HC Reality Show: Surviving the Olympics.

So, um, yeah...that's my vote.

the thought has gone through my mind but i think it will be bad for the survivor game.


I think the survivor will be much more fun to be a part of and view if you use your real aliases. That way the roleplay factor isnt as high and you will instead learn more about the participants as they are using the real names. If they want to that is. But you still have the option.

By adding a bunch of new characters i think the game will be less appealing for the non RPG'ers and i want this game to be for everyone


I already think as survivor is now that is has a great potential, i dont wanna compromise the game and make it less good because it combines two ideas. Id rather have the great quality the survivor thread can bring on its own.

Though standings now are 50/50, lets see what happens.. its interesting

So start voting if you havent already!

I don't think you understand what I mean Stiven. I want the HC Survivor thing, but I think it needs a roleplaying twist. And having the characters being really wacky but also anonymous would be funny and interesting.

I think HC Olympics wouldn't go over all that well. Competitions only have so much of a lifespan. A good example would be GoP. It might be fun for a couple rounds, but I don't forsee any good activity in a thread like that.

The game needs that tavern feel to it that there is in Temple of Worship, your WANTED game, MYT, Tossers Tavern, TUMs threads, etc.

Also I'm getting a little disappointed with everyone saying that after I lose interest with everything especially after I get a QP. Stuff like pulling an RSF I don't like to hear, so I'm gonna make sure that doesn't happen anymore.

So I'm going to postpone HC Reality Show for now to see what everyone really wants to do.

Also while IMing with Sir_Stiven I'm going to add something to my response since I'm still writing my post lol.

He wanted to know what we would do in our thread. Well that's part of what adding an RP twist does to a thread. You can pretty much change the plot at will. The only thing that remains constant are the "alter egos" we will be using.

So in other words we can decide what we want to do next by discussing it in the Comments thread. If we want to go to a fancy restaurant where they charge you for the water, then we will. If we want to be lost in the desert dying of dehydration then we can do that too. We could even go over to one of the local colleges and have a panty raid. There's complete creative freedom with what we can do in the thread.

Let's say one of the characters is a discruntled postman and he gets voted off. But he keeps coming back and tries to  sabotage the contests or tries to kill someone etc...

That's just an example of what might happen. Basically it will be whatever people put into it. It could be the most popular, funniest thread in Tavern or it could be the biggest flop of the century. Or maybe it will be somewhere in between.

Edit: I think that people should at least try out a humorous RP at least once. It's a lot more fun than people would think. When you are a part of it anyway. Even Wolfman enjoyed LHW in the beginning, but it later became too serious for him and he left.

Anyway the point is comedy/RPs are a lot of fun. Like Temple of Worship was at one point.

i understand what you mean, but as pointed out in my previous post i think the survivor thing will be better off without it as a ground. This to appeal to more members, then if you wanna make an alter ego character using your real username at HC survivor is off course ok. Thats your choice.

But i wanna keep it that way - with a choice. I dont want anyone to feel discouraged because they are who they are in the survivor game. Nor do i have anything against it if someone make himself more of a RPG character. But as stated - i want the choice.


As for running the olympics at the same time..no. The olympics are set to have one winner in each category. I thought you would know that as you voulenteered to pick up the thread earlier even though you backed off it


Im sure both games will get launched sooner or later but im interested too see what the members wanna see next now. Since they are the ones to participate and making the game they should be the ones that decides whats get going.

I just got a cool idea.

You said there were going to be two teams correct?

Well why not make one team be themselves as they are in Real Life and then the other team be the alter egos?

i think the olympics is a bad idea cause not everyone has Heroes.

I've decided to move my game into Glade since it's an RP anyway. Though it's not really a "game" I'd say but more of an RP kinda thing. But it's not really an RP either. I don't really know what I would call it to be honest. It's just its own thing, kinda like Temple of Worship. I guess that would be the best way to describe it.
