And one of the ideas he's been bringing up is making a new game that could *possibly* replace fastings/rookies. There's a lot of different game ideas that exist, and I've noted a few, but i'd like to get a few more ideas in before posting a poll to #10DaysOfTengaged to have people vote upon it.
A few ideas I've seen/heard:
A spin-off of The Amazing Race
A spin-off of The Challenge
A Sole Survivor type game (Something closer to home to the Survivor we know)
Maybe something that's similar to "The Duel", but updated to be more exciting (?).
There's hundreds of other ideas for games, and personally I want to hear as many game ideas as I can before creating a poll to see what users respond to most. So please comment below some of your ideas for future games, and if I see any gaining a lot of traction i'll include it as an option in the newest poll being made.
Lachie227 Personally i'm not sure. If I can confess i've never actually seen the challenge. However, I know it's a popular subject on here and I know people have talked a lot about it and have dedicated a lot of group games to the show.
Obviously rules and formats will need to be worked out to see what would work and what wouldn't, but right now I'd like to just get a baseline and see what idea spars the most interest out of people.
I鈥檝e had a game idea for awhile now, I鈥檓 not sure if it鈥檚 easy to implement, but I call it Chaos.
Basically I鈥檓 Chaos, maybe 14/16 people join and once the game is filled you鈥檙e automatically put into a pair with someone random. The pairs compete in a tg challenge and the combined scores decide who is at the bottom. The remaining players vote to evict one of the two bottom players in the last place pair.
This repeats until 2 are left and a jury votes for the winner (maybe the final 10 can be jury).
The twist is pairs change every day, so it鈥檚 Chaos!
Do you evict a strong player bc you may not be able to beat them later in the game? Or do you keep a stronger player bc you might be paired with them later in the game and can stay safe.
nmh95 I like the game idea! It almost sounds like a twist of "Endurance", with pairs competing in challenges. I think it'd be an interesting idea to implement, and if enough other people are interested i'd definitely consider putting it in the poll and seeing how it does. Thanks for the input!
However I should revise it a little. The bottom two pairs go up for elimination, so 4 total players, but you still eliminate pairs. So two would be evicted every day
Could honestly update the duels format to make it like the challenge pretty easily, and if the code is already there he shouldn鈥檛 have to get rid of any games
I want "Circle" where everyone has like 3 minutes to vote out one person. Whoever has the most votes is out. Algo can decide ties.
At final 2, they do a split / steal
Start with 20 people? This can be a fast game.
Buy in - 15ts
If they both split - They both get 30 Karma and 25ts
If one steals and the other splits, the person who split gets nothing and the person who steals gets 60 karma and 50ts.
If they both steal, they both get nothing
There's a few different versions of this game but it's most commonly known as MAFIA or WEREWOLF. I'll explain the WEREWOLF version.
12 People
Everyone is randomly assigned a character e.g. (VILLAGER, WEREWOLF, SEER, WITCH, etc)
- There will be 3 werewolves in the game, it is their job to work together to KILL everyone but themselves so that they're the last ones standing. They do this by collectively voting for one person to kill per night.
- About 5 people will be villagers, they are innocent and have no power but it is their goal to kill all of the werewolves.
- There will be a seer. The seer is INNOCENT too and is trying to kill the werewolves also. However, they're able to view one player's identify per night.
- There will be a witch. The witch is INNOCENT too and is trying to kill the werewolves also. However, they're able to either HEAL one player throughout the duration of the game, saving someone the werewolves have killed, and POISON one player throughout the duration of the game, killing them.
This is the most simple form but there are many other characters that can be added to make it more fun and to ensure half the cast aren't powerless (villagers) some other characters include: Diseased, The Drunk, Troublemaker and Lovers.
Everyone's identify is kept secret and is it up to the player to decide what they want to share and what to hide.
The game alternates such as: DAY 1/NIGHT 1/DAY 2/NIGHT 2 etc...
DAY 1 - Everyone is assigned their roles
NIGHT 1 - The werewolves decide who to kill. Then the witch can decide to either heal this person or kill another person. Then the seer chooses which player's identify they'd like to know.
DAY 2 - The person killed is removed from the game (this could be either 0/1/2 people, depending on what the witch did). Everyone that is left in the game must now vote for who they think is a werewolf. Whoever receives the most votes is publicly executed and removed from the game.
NIGHT 2 - REPEAT (WEREWOLF/WITCH/SEER ACTIONS)
DAY 3- REPEAT (VOTE AND EXECUTE)
The game continues until either:
ALL 3 WEREWOLVES ARE DEAD, in which the remaining villagers/witch/seer win, or
IF A WEREWOLF/THE WEREWOLVES SURVIVE THE FINAL 3 EXECUTION VOTE, making it to FINAL 2, they win.
It sounds complicated but it is quite hard to explain. I'm sure there are videos explaining it more visually. All in all, it is a really exciting game lying and deception. I think it would be a great addition to the site.
Aside from this new game, I would love to see some twists added to current games, some examples:
- Idols added to Survivor (10 boxes, everyone opens one on day 1, it is randomly assigned)
- A golden arrow in Hunger (30 boxes, everyone opens on day 1, it is randomly assigned)
- Double eviction in Frookies
- Battle back in Frookies (not necessarily a challenge)
- Themes for Stars (I'd love there to be 'special stars' every now and again. Perhaps once a month?) Some examples include: 3 Nominees, 20 person cast, cliques, a player voted back into the game at Final 10, Christmas/Halloween/Easter specials, or maybe casting themes like All Winners or Old school vs New School where the cast is selected before the game starts.
I think it is important to have a mix of games for different types of players.
Challenge lovers have Survivor and Hunger. Sole Survivor and Amazing Race would be great additions to this calibre of player, I don't think the duel is needed. It's important to ensure these games aren't impossible for other players, so adding an element of luck (Idols, Golden arrow, etc) would create more opportunities for these type of players.
Social players have Rookies and Castings. These are good games, but I do feel they bring the least to the website. I would suggest removing rookies and instead just adding the betting element into castings games. This makes room for another new game whilst keeping the best features of rookies.
Lovers of strategy have Frookies. This must stay and I think the site needs a similar type of game. The werewolf game I spoke about is one idea, but Sole Survivor also fits this category if there were tribe swaps and idols. Another suggestion would be the Circle, an extremely simple fast game where 20 players vote someone off each dc until only one remains. Maybe another option could be a game similar to Sequester, where each round is completely different, perhaps round 1 is a challenge and the worst performing is eliminated, round 2 everyone must pick a pair and whoever isn't in a pair is eliminated, round 3 the person with the highest odd number of votes is eliminated, etc etc etc
Excitement around games has plummeted on the site but I believe the possibilities to revive this are endless, I appreciate all your hard work.
