User blog:Takeshi kun21/3rd time's the charm, or so they say

So, after a while, I've decided to bring this up again with a few small changes.

An idea I had a few months ago was an RP that would happen as a reality gameshow (like Survivor, King of the Nerds, etc.) with a certain number of contestants who go through various challenges to win a grand prize of $500,000 (or its equivalent in Lien). The RP will happen over a series of several threads, mainly to move on to the next episode and to keep things organized.

If there are any questions, please feel free to ask.

Entrants
So for the show to set off, we'll need 20 contestants at least 16 years of age. Along those numbers will be 2 Hosts, counting up to a total of 22 parts to play. Sounds like a lot of people participating right? Well to cut the numbers down, everyone is elligible to use 2 characters each, except for the people who have a role as Host who can have up to 3 (being the mentioned role and 2 parts as contestants). Others will be able to have a 3rd, depending on how many people sign up (If you only have one Accepted character you can still enter).

I would also like to see some diversity among the cast in here. It would be good to get a few characters that give attitude and some with a back-stabby nature along with the nice guys; weird and crazy characters are encouraged as well. It's important to have some drama in the show.

How the RP will go
After the pilot episode characters will be put on teams with other members of the cast.

We'll start off each thread with simple pre-challenge chatter, breakfast and such. After a few rounds of posts, the contestants will be briefed on their challenge for the day. After that, they do the task pretty much, and the team who wins gains immunity, while the losing team has to vote out a member of their team. The character that gets voted out must pack their bags and leave the island, but will make an appearance in the audience at the final episode. After the voting, we get a few last words from the remaining cast, maybe a few shady dealings, then move onto the next episode.

Sooner or later when a certain point is met, the teams will merge and it'll be a free for all battle from here on out.

Challenges
Challenges will be as simple as baking a cake in comparisson to some sort of rigorous battle. Along with physical challenges, there will be intellectual-based ones just to mix things up. There will be moments where your OC cannot use their weapon during certain challenges meaning you'll most likely be using someone else's, something provided by the staff, or none at all.

There will be either one large challenge or a small series of events to decide which team will win for the day. Once the teams merge together, there will be points where invincibility can be gained by finding a specific item or winning a certain event in the day.

How it works for us:
Well if both of your characters are voted out, then you of course cannot participate in the RP for a while (unless your second character is the other Host). Though don't worry as you can still be a part of the discussion and such (might go the route of Total Drama and have an aftermath segment for eliminated characters).

By the way:
As my brain is uncreative at times, try to come up for future challenges to keep the game going.

A note to Add in

During challenges, make sure to take your time. Having an instantaneous victory leads to bad television. Getting lost, fixing the vote, or doing something wrong that screws up the challenge (either intentional or not) is highly encouraged at times, but not all the time. Feel free to have arguments, make enemies as well as friends, or even do something romantic (Nothing graphic!). Alliances are welcomed.

In short, be as human as possible.

Pilot
For the pilot episode, we'll start with everyone getting to the island, meeting each other, then forming teams. It'll go the route of the initiation from RWBY, being partnering up with someone to go looking for relics on the island and bringing them back intact. These relics are made of porcelain, and will have a number listed in them (being either a one or 2), which decides the team you're on.

If you're using 2 OCs, do not partner them with each other, interact with everyone else and partner up with someone else's character (talk it out over the discussion thread).

The Cast of Season One
