Survivor: MML <>

William Colwell 1 month ago
:BACKGROUND:

Ok...so another website I am a regular on is GameFaqs...I am llamasshouldfly. On GameFaqs I am go to the survivor board (Board 405). This is were people can make their own e-survivor and play it online. After a while the ideas started become really really abstract and we have some bizarre survivor games and other reality games online. But that is what this idea to my mind. I want to host Survivor: MML.

:BASICS:

There will be hopefully 16 players 8 per tribe. There will be two challenges per week, one reward and one immunity. This will start with the two tribes competing and then they will merge once we are down to 10 players.

:CHALLENGES:

The reward challenges will consist of probably trivia and other stuff to do with Marching band, DCI, and MML but will not consist of making shows. The winner(s) will be given help during the immunity challenges and such.

The immunity challenges will consist of making shows...Not as tribe but the tribe with the with the highest over all score will win. But the challenges can be, make your own interpretation of a this show, make a show with [blank] many marchers. The winner(s) will be given immunity and can stay in the competition longer.

:Welcomes:
Hello and welcome to the beginning of Survivor: MML. I have made the tribes and here they are

:The Mellophone Tribe:
1. Pedazos
2. Joe Lesko
3. Jamie Wilson
4. Test123
5. DocMcFluhry
6. Jason Schmidt
7. Rfielstra
8. Steven S

:The Tuba Tribe:
1. Yoyoyo
2. AgntMINOR
3. Nick
4. Jerry
5. Danderson
6. Tokyo512
7. Anthony Kendall
8. Manningfan18

:Challenge #1:

The first challenge will be a reward challenge. The reward will be a +10 bonus towards your teams final score in the immunity challenge. This will be a trivia challenge. I will be posting the quiz either today or tomorrow.

Joe Lesko captain1 month ago
If you guys can wait a couple days, I can set up something up where the two tribes can confer in private. (I promise not to spy on the other tribe ;)
Test123 1 month ago
Tough. Tough quiz.
William Colwell 1 month ago
That would amazing Joe!
Yoyoyo 1 month ago
Wouldn't #3 be since 1976 since 1975 doesn't count unless there is another corps your talking about which I don't think there is.
tokyo512 1 month ago
I think I have number 5 6 and 8.
but I can wait for Joe to make this private thingy
Jerry 1 month ago
Answered them :)
Keyo Wilson 1 month ago
Well I'm not in the game and I already know questions 1-3 (duh, haha), question 8...I did know question 10 before, as well as 11, 13, and 14...
DocMcFluhry 1 month ago
just sent mine.
Joe Lesko captain1 month ago
Is everyone supposed to send their answers separately, or does each team submit one set of answers?
Jerry 1 month ago
I have no idea...but I just answered all of them and sent them in.

So either way, my team has them.
DocMcFluhry 1 month ago
no idea..
William Colwell 1 month ago
Each member sends them separately and then I add all of the correct answers and get a total score out of 112 (8 people time 14 answers).
Nick 1 month ago
ya...i'm gonna pass.
Jerry 1 month ago
You're gonna pass?
Yoyoyo 1 month ago
Yeah not everyone has a wealth of dci history knowledge stored within them. Or enjoys it as much as others.
Jerry 1 month ago
It's called using your resources...

I used three sites for my answers.
tokyo512 1 month ago
Yeah...
The only reason I knew some of those things were because I look through DCI sites every now and then...
Kasey Warren 1 month ago
i wanna be in the next season!
Joe Lesko captain1 month ago
Cavies can take my spot. I should really use the extra time to work on the next update.
Kasey Warren 1 month ago
okay sounds good thanks
rfielstra 1 month ago
just sent my quiz, sorry for being a little late.
Danderson 1 month ago
I'll be sending my soon I just got back from vacation
Danderson 1 month ago
Do you want full sentences or are short answers fine? lol

I sent mine.
William Colwell 1 month ago
Quiz is due tonight at midnight!
tokyo512 1 month ago
I sent mine.
Danderson 1 month ago
Um, Nick, that would automatically 14 points down from our tribe. Do you think you could at least attempt the easy ones? We don't lose any points if we get them wrong. :-D

Yoyoyo, that's the corps I put down too. I'm assuming he means the last time they scored below a 90 was 1975
Test123 1 month ago
Wait! The tribe as a whole loses points if we pass?!

Aw man, I didn't know that...
Jerry 1 month ago
Well, II know who I'm voting off :D
Test123 1 month ago
ssssssshhhhhhhhhhh... I'm working on the quiz... lol
Test123 1 month ago
Oh wait, you're not in my tribe. lol
Jerry 1 month ago
Yeah, but someone in mine didn't do theirs.
Danderson 1 month ago
Haha I think now is the time we start to form alliances. Do we get to see how each person did?
Jerry 1 month ago
I hope so.
Danderson 1 month ago
I'm assuming by "midnight" you mean midnight Eastern Standard Time?
William Colwell 1 month ago
Yes EST
Neemo 1 month ago
oh my gosh. i'm sorry. i didn't know we lost points. i just said i'm passing because i knew i wouldn't have enough time to look for those answers because i've been soooo busy. i didn't mean that i'm not gonna attempt it at all and i wasn't speaking for everybody. again sorry.

btw: it says nothing about losing points if someone passes in this whole thread.
Neemo 1 month ago
btw..that's me, Nick. i'm just accidentally under my brothers name.
William Colwell 1 month ago
There is no such thing as passing...either you do the challenge or you don't...and if you don't you face the consequences.
manningfan18 1 month ago
I sent mine!
Jason Schmidt 1 month ago
Sent my answers :)
tokyo512 1 month ago
Ahh... Do we get to vote people off? cuz if we do... ahh! lol
DocMcFluhry 1 month ago
Is it just me, or is the mello tribe unnaturally stacked?
Test123 1 month ago
I don't understand...
Test123 1 month ago
Sent.
Danderson 1 month ago
It's not just you. But it's ok. In the real Survivor television show one tribe usually has an advantage over the other but it plays out very well. Test, I would explaint he whole concept of Survivor to you (if that's what you're confused about), but I'm not running this so I don't feel that it's my place.
tokyo512 1 month ago
Yeah, I believe the Mello tribe is stacked, but come on. It says it doesn't consist of making shoes.
Danderson 1 month ago
The reward challenge doesn't consist of making shows. Immunity does. I would like to see it switched up every once in a while, eh William? ;-)
Test123 1 month ago
Oh I just didn't get what he meant by the mello tribe being stacked...
Danderson 1 month ago
Oh lol I feel silly nevermind.
DocMcFluhry 1 month ago
well i'm not complaining or anything like that. I mean I am in that tribe. And Test look who is on our team again.
tokyo512 1 month ago
Stacked - overpowered. Does that clear things up a bit?
Test123 1 month ago
Like the order of people? If so, I find it pretty random (with the exception of Pedazos).

So we vote people out? [brutal]. But I like it! lol. So i'm guessing we email our votes eventually?
Test123 1 month ago
Oh oops I get it!
Test123 1 month ago
Well the Tuba Tribe has yoyoyo, and that amazing new guy... and everybody else...

No nevermind, you're right. lol
tokyo512 1 month ago
Yep, I think we all agree on the Mello tribe being a little over-powered...
Where does it say we can vote people out? I asked it a little while ago.
Jerry 1 month ago
Well in survivor, you vote people off the island...

"There will be hopefully 16 players 8 per tribe. There will be two challenges per week, one reward and one immunity. This will start with the two tribes competing and then they will merge once we are down to 10 players."

How else do we get to 10 players if we don't vote people off the MML island?

Haha @ MML island.
DocMcFluhry 1 month ago
well not overpowered. but overpowering.
tokyo512 1 month ago
O.o
Scary...
William Colwell 1 month ago
OK! Time for the owner and host of this show to Chime in.

The Mello tribe is not over powered...you can think that but look at both the tribes. I tried to match up people with equals and separate them. Obviously there will always be people who are better than each other. But that makes you fight more to make sure that you can beat them.

Also...

YES THERE IS VOTING. By email.

If you have any questions you can leave me a question on my profile.

Little over 2 hours left.
DocMcFluhry 1 month ago
I wasn't saying that my tribe was better, by any means, to clarify things.
pedazos captain1 month ago
vote me out. i know nothing about DCI trivia and don't have the time to look stuff up.
Jerry 1 month ago
They won't vote you out, they need your shows to win.
pedazos captain1 month ago
haha, that may be true. but once we merge...oh no.
DocMcFluhry 1 month ago
yeah, are you kidding? I'd rather give you the answers than vote you out.
tokyo512 1 month ago
hahah, vote pedazos out... thats hilarious. -.-
Jason Schmidt 1 month ago
I didn't know any of those answers (besides like 1 of them) before I looked them up. Maybe just look 1 of the questions up and send it? Haha, may sound silly, but you never know how close it will be in the end.
manningfan18 1 month ago
So when will we know the results of the quizzes? And also, will we know how each individual player performed, or will we just get an overall team score?
Jerry 1 month ago
I hope we get to see how each individual did.
DocMcFluhry 1 month ago
Me too. We can size each other up that way.
agntMINOR 1 month ago
i feel soo bad there was NO WAY I COUD'VE COMPLETED THIS QUIZZ! i left for san antonio on thursday and i just got back this morning. ugh...

Kasey Warren 1 month ago

Gah, seriously? That is like horrible timing, because I published a show on Sunday, for the MMCL deadline... and now with band camp in full swing it's so hard to get online at all... I'll try, but I can't guarantee a completed show yet. Maybe Saturday will be a good day, and Sunday... I have an idea, but just have to get it on the field.

That ten point bonus... how does that work? I don't know how exactly you're scoring this, but if you're just adding scores the tribe that has the most participation will win most likely.
