Title: Hlp Survivor!
Post by: Setekh on March 13, 2002, 05:36:09 am
Okay, the idea's been suggested by some people, and so here's the deal: a Survivor contest. We'd make a new forum for it (like Node Wars). Everyone who wants to can participate, but you have to enter at the beginning. People are voted off, until you get the ultimate HLP SURVIVOR. There are challenges (still fleshing this bit out in my head), and public debates where people get to voice their opinions before the voting as to who they think should be voted off (and why others should agree). And of course, there will be offline scheming through the PM system. :D

We could combine a lot of elements from gameshows like the Weakest Link into this. :D

So, ideas? ;)

I thought of that too. But I thought of the poor children, scarred by seeing our sickly faces on the 'Net... so I thought I'd shy away from that. :D

Better edit that b33r option a little. ;)

* TV commercial starts, the screen is black. Words in white appear after strong flashes, and the narrator starts to speak *


The Hard Light Survivor

Witness as countless geeks struggle for dominance on a barren, deserted forum.

* The black screen with the words Hard Light Survivor changes to a view of the HLP forums, followed by shots of people in a dense jungle *

Watch them suffer, fighting against their own minds and bodies to accomplish impossible challenges, face each other in psychological matches, or trip over and fall on the cold hard floor as they try to get through inhuman tests of skill and prowess.

The challenge has begun. Only one will survive.

The Hard Light Survivor

* Images fade out, and the words "Only one will survive" remain on-screen, with a low menacing humming sound as background *

And you know what's even less fair? Keystroke loggers. ;7 :D



As they say, 0wnT.

Okay, okay, it's not true - I wouldn't be that mean...

Too bad the FTP software is hidden away.  ;)

You can't escape my grasp, Insect.

Anyway, I gave you admin powers at the machine - you'd have seen the keystroke logger if it was active, so don't worry. :nod:

The only way I'd join something like this is if when a person loses, they actually DIE!  Otherwise, I'll do something productive, like tracking down and excuting members of the board.

It's a great idea and I'm all for it. The only problem is that somebody's feelings could get hurt. We would have to take this very lightheartedly if we did it...:nod:

If we have a survivor game, I think you should be forewarned that I won't be happy. Quite unhappy, in fact, and Yahtzee's been giving me ideas these past few days. (http://yahtzee.keenspace.com/d/20020226.html):D

I suppose so, and that's not counting the b33r votes, either. :D

As for feelings getting hurt, well, people'd get voted out for funny reasons...

eg. Styxx gets voted off because he stopped giving us Styxx Myxxs™... :D

Talking about that, you should check the drink I found at the pub last night... It's called a Cobra: Vodka, Tequila, Gin, Rum (sp?) and just a hint of orange juice. Packs quite a punch... :D
