Challenge #1- ABC's of Survivor

[Alicia Calaway]

Welcome Thant, Waldheim, Annan, and Ki-Moon to your first challenge. I thought that it would be good to test how you worked together and so I developed a challenge that I thought could do that.

Throughout FNS’s history, ABC games have been quite popular. For this challenge, you are going to make an ABC list with a Survivor-theme. Here’s how it will work.

You are going to make a list of every letter:
A-
B-
C-
[Note: For X, you can do eX, but the rule I'll explain later will still apply, concerning whether a word is X or eX.]

And so on. Next to every letter, write a Survivor-related word. By the end, you will have 26 words. Phrases ARE ALLOWED, however, it will probably be harder to score with phrases, so you will most likely not want to use phrases. Once complete, one tribe member will PM me your list. Here’s the scoring rule.. for every word you have on your tribe list that another tribe has on their tribe list, your tribe scores one point!. I’ll show an example from a fruit theme...

La Mina
A – Apple
B - Banana
Casaya
A – Apple
B - Banana
Bayoneta
A – Apples
B - Banana
Viveros
A – Apricot
B - Bananas

For the A, La Mina and Casaya score one point. Bayoneta and Viveros do not. To score, it must be EXACTLY the same. Any phrases you use must also be identical, 100% identical. ‘Apples’ is not the exact same as ‘Apple’. Think carefully about what you choose to put; spelling errors will also affect whether or not you score, so be mindful. For B, La Mina, Casaya, and Bayoneta score TWO points, because two other tribes have the same answer. Viveros does not score.

The tribe that scores the LOWEST number of points is going to meet me at the Security Council, where the first All-Star will be voted out of the game. In the event of a time, time of submission will break the tie. Remember, there is no talking amongst tribes, so if you cheat on this challenge, there will be a severe punishment beyond the usual warning. However, I trust that you won’t, it’s simply to remind you. You have 48 hours.

C- Challenge
D- Deceive (different from original list)
E- Exile
F- Flint, Fish or Food
G- Guatemala
H- Hidden Immunity Idol
I- Immunity
J- Jury
K- Kidnap
L- Loyal, Loyalty, Lie or Liar
M- Merge
N- Necklace
O- Ocean
P- Probst
Q- Quit
R- Reward
S- Survivor
T- Tribe
U- Ulong
V- Vote
W- Water
X- eXile (take a chance that everyone else will do this same thing)
Y- Yasur
Z- Zohn or Zhan Hu

[kathy]

Hi Hunter! Alicia is putting in "bold" the ones we like best - I agree with a lot of yours.

question on why you think ocean and Probst will match best, and also using exile twice?

[Bobby Jon]

Wow amazing job guys those lists look amazing..

A- All-Stars

B- Buff

C- Challenge or Castaway

D- Decieve- good one i think

E- Exile

F- Flint or Final Words

G- Gameplay

H- Hidden Immunity Idol

I- Immunity or Immunity Necklace

J- Jury

K- Kucha or Kuror (A tribe name i think)

L- Loyalty

M- Merge

N- Numbers?

O- Ocean

P-Pre-Jury, Probst

Q- Quit

R- Reward Challenge

S- Survivor

T- Tribal Council

U- Under the Radar

V- Voted Off

W- Winner

X- Exile

Y- Yolanda haha

Z- Zhan Hu

Thats why i think will be the most popular
but lets all decide together

[kathy]

so, is ocean a better match because too hard to choose between outwit, outplay, outlast?

I like
l - loyalty and g - gameplay (different from first list)

I think D an K are tough choices

As for "O", I'm not real sure of which one to go with of the Outwit, Outlast or Outplay and I don't think that anyone will go for the phrase, so my thinking is that they might decide to just go with ocean thinking we will do the same. And for Probst, well I think that is pretty much the popular one since, well, he's "The Man" of survivor for every season.

[Hunter]

Maybe instead of gameplay, what about games?

[kathy]

I can agree to Probst :-) I love purple rock though.

gameplay I found in wiki - or game - survivor is a game. I wouldn't put games.

[Hunter]

Oh Kathy, the whole exile thing for "X" and using it twice, I think that it is a definate for "E" and I think everyone will use it for "X" because they won't be able to come up with something that they think everyone else will use other than eXile. Especially since the way it was explained in the challenge, it kinda hinted towards that direction, which I think everyone will go.

[kathy]

if it can be used twice. There is a tribe with the letter X. I won't argue, we'll see what Sundra thinks, too.


And I agree to trying to stay away from phrases.

Whether to add or not add suffixes or word endings is tricky, I think, ie vote, votes.

I can agree that the other tribes will put exile for e and x.
