you're not supposed to eat more than a meal a day while the game is in progress

Capping at one more I think to stay reasonable

I have a feeling since a lot of people that have inned aren't PoG regulars we might have drop outs. Would people prefer to sub them out, get them bitten by poisonous snakes (AKA modkilled [this will be instead of a TC that week])?

I'd suggest doing a couple challenges that are relatively easy to complete in the beginning, and bottom x get knocked off before we even start the game (like nich did in his version of BB). It should be set up so it's pretty easy for anyone willing to put in the effort to get in.

That way you won't be stuck with a bunch of people who inned but won't participate. Having those people in the real game makes it a disaster since if you sub them that messes up the alliances but if you just modkill a ton of people that will determine the course of the numbers game in an unfair manner.

That's an interesting idea - I'll contemplate it tomorrow.

32 won't be too bad though I don't think, if we do something that me and Jim were thinking of.

Can I get a link to nich's challenge?

A bit different since there is no team element, but that just makes it that much more important to have active players in survivor, since one afk hurts a whole team of players.

Who will lose the most weight during the game.

One approach to dealing with a bloated sign-up list is to start with 3+ tribes, and then run the game as normal except that only one tribe wins each immunity and the others go to Tribal Council. The game would then take the same amount of time (e.g. in a 20-person game, if you merged at 10 it would take 10 rounds to get there, and it would take the same amount of time in a 30-person game using this method).

As for afk people, you could have the early challenges be ones where there's no need for everyone to be there e.g. everyone plays a game, highest score wins for their tribe. Here the tribe with an afk member is still at a disadvantage, but it doesn't stop the game from moving forward.

Yah, that was one of the options Tilt

Good to discuss in thread, but can't go to much into it to maintain element of surprise. That's what makes it exciting. If someone isn't going to play and wants to have a more in depth discussion i.e. Jim, thingy or someone else, PM me.

It was also briefly discussed in the ootv thread how a 3 team survivor adds an interesting element to the post merge game.

Hopefully, it won't matter either way but I'll be fairly available on average for the duration but it's possible I won't be able to put in a ton of time in the first couple days. Hope I run good on the timing of this easy challenge to weed out the slackers!

I just finished watching season 1 of Survivor. I'm thinking I might have to play naked!

And after that jail for 4 years for tax evasion.

Question: Will you still be naked?

Answer: Of course. What better way to make friends in jail than running around naked! (F Uncle Sam)

I will join the naked coalition

I promise to drape during skype convo's so that i can possibly form something resembling an alliance, despite being very new to POG...
