Absolute Dog Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Artwork for banner created by INSIGNIA Welcome to SURVIVOR Halo Style! Official sign Up Thread! Please thank fellow member imakequilts for coming up with this incredible idea! SURVIVOR Halo Style will be a new type of contest for our members. They will have to Out Wit, Out Play and Out Last their fellow players in order to reach the final pairing. They will then have to rely on the very players voted off or eliminated before them to decide which of them will take home the copy of Halo 4 and bragging rights to being the ultimate survivor. The basics of SURVIVOR Halo Style. This will be both a team and individual contest that will test your desire to win. Depending on the number of participants, teams, known as, will have a maximum of 6 players, initially, and these teams will compete against one another in a series of challenges that will test players skill, ability to communicate and ability to work together as a team. The loosing team will be sent to a ceremonial voting council where they will have to vote for one of their own to be banished from SURVIVOR Halo Style.The contest will continue as a team event until there are only 6 total players left in the game. At this point the challenges will become individual competitions and continue until only two survivors remain. The final two player will take voyage of remembrance that will pay homage to all of the contestants that participated in the contest. Following this remembrance a jury made up of the final four players knocked out during the individual challenge and the last seven players voted off in the team challenges will hear why each of the two remaining contestants feel they should receive the jurors votes. Once the jury has cast their votes a final ceremony will be held where the votes will be read aloud and the winner of SURVIVOR Halo Style is announced. The winner will then be presented with his prizes and immortalized in our very own 343 Hall of Fame. How the game be played in general. Once we have a complete list of willing players a 'Party Leader' will be randomly selected to choose players for their 'Party' until all contestants are selected. (There may be an uneven amount of contestants initially and the imbalance will be dealt with depending on the numbers.) Once the 'Parties' have been selected the will receive their parties names which will be based off of Halo lore. The 'party' challenges will take place on the weekends, Saturday and/or Sunday, and at a time that best allows for members of all countries to gather and compete. The ceremonial 'Party Council' will take place in a specially forged hall that will be used for all of the SURVIVOR votes, functions and final jury voting. Depending on availability of players for each competition, one player of a 'Party' may be allowed to sit out of a challenge if they are unable to be present to an challenge. A contestant may not sit out two challenges back to back. If a contestant is unavailable from one of the parties for a competition the opposing 'Party' will be required to have one of their members sit out of the challenge so the participating 'Party's' are equal in number. The challenges will have a variety of strategies required. Some will be skill based requiring all players to participate equally, some will require fellow party members to guide a single player through a blind maze and retrieve required objects, others will need your 'Party' to act as a team and control as many areas possible within a given time frame. Each challenge will be unique from the others and fun as can possibly be. The individual challenges will fit the range of contestants competing in them. How do you play as an individual in a team contest? Players may want to join together and make pacts, or coalitions, with one another and formulate strategies to advance your group or eliminate perceived threats to your moving ahead in the game. You may choose to play lone wolf and hope that your self determination and abilities will take you to the top. This style of play may even be used during the individual challenges to help gain votes should you be one of the two finalists. There will also be a single hidden 'Immunity Icon' that will allow one player to use after the vote has been counted and before being voted off is confirmed. The 'Immunity Icon' will be hidden on "The Island" and a private message containing a link to a map will be sent to all contestants prior to each challenge to allow the to search for it. This message will include some hints that will give each contestant a chance at immunity. There will only be one 'Immunity Icon' accepted and that will be determined by the player who first sends me a private message with the exact location and type of item used for the 'Icon'. What will you get for being a participant and get vote off? All contestants that participate and get voted off will receive a special award for being part of SURVIVOR Halo Style. Some of the 'banished' contestants will be used to assist in some of the challenges that require additional support from our members. The final seven members banished from the competition will sit in on each following 'Party Council' and listen in as the remaining contests vote off fellow players. This group of banished player will not be allowed to engage the contestants during the council session. Who can play? Any member of this forum who signs up by the end of the 'Sign Up' period ending on August 4th 2012 by 11:59 PM EST within this thread. Questions? This will be the Q and A thread for this contest.

Absolute Dog Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 My GT: Skiys I think a group of serious gamers need to come together on this one. I need biggles, gazzy mill mill, director, and drizzy maybe a few others! Just so you supposed top Halo players know, the game is not all about skill. A group of casuals could knock out a group ofMLG types with no problem, especially if there is little team spirit or cohesion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skys Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 The point being made across is..I'd rather have a few guys who can think outside the box then a few casuals who consider this.."Just a game" Its all good fun. But fun for me starts with being teamed up and eventually facing the most competitive. I only see this as "damn" good fun. And i salute you for creating such a game. or hosting it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
