In the 15th installment of Survivor Chronicles, the 24 contestants head to the land of Panem, a land tormented by civil wars, evil dictators, and the Hunger Games themselves. The contestants will be expected to complete the same goal that is expected of tributes in the Hunger Games: be the last one standing. To do so, the contestants will have to outwit, outplay, and outlast one another while balancing the demands of this season's unique twists and turns.

The Twist

At the beginning of the game, each contestant will be assigned a District. They will also be informed of which other contestant hails from their District. Their goal is to help their fellow District member survive for as long as possible.



For each round that a contestant's fellow District member survives, they will be allowed a chance to make a guess as to where a Hidden Immunity Idol is hidden within the Cornucopia. To make a guess as to where the idol is, contestants will simply submit a coordinate point to the host. The idol will be hidden in a coordinate point located somewhere predetermined by the host.


(This would include letters across the top and numbers running down the side for coordinate reference)

The 24 contestants will be divided into 3 tribes of 8, The Jabberjays, The Tracker Jackers, and The Muttations. The contestants who survive until the merge will be sent to the Ruins of District 12 to compete for the final prize. Contestants voted out pre-jury will be sent to an area known as "The Fallen" while jurors will be sent to District 13 where they will wait to make their final decision of who will be sent to Victor's Village as the winner of Survivor Chronicles: Panem.

The Mushroom Kingdom has become a wasteland ever since the Princess was captured and Bowser took over. Few have attempted to rescue her, but the best attempt was by two plumbers, clearly the wrong men for the job. Mario and Luigi were swiftly defeated, having only brought wrenches with them as weapons. Plumbers were no match for the tyrannical monster Bowser, they barely made a dent.

The citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom have been in disarray ever since the Princess has been gone. The Goombas have gone toxic, and have started being devoured by the Toads as a result of lack of resources. The Toads have started to hallucinate because due to the digestion effects of the toxic Goombas, and have grown hostile and have started attacking their own. The Koopas and Paratroopas were quick to realize their only way to survive under Bowser's reign was to join him. As a result they feast like kings and have taken over the castle duties formally held by the Toads.

The Mushroom Kingdom needs a true hero to rescue it from peril. The Princess is the only one who can restore peace and order to the Kingdom. A reward of one million coins will be given to the hero that is able to defeat Bowser and rescue the Princess. 20 individuals will attempt this mission, but only one will prove worthy enough to face off against Bowser. Will the Mushroom Kingdom find the Hero it needs, or will it remain a wasteland ruled by Bowser? Find out in SURVIVOR CHRONICLES: MUSHROOM KINGDOM.

Survivor Chronicles has tackled some of the most famous settings in pop culture, ranging from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, but this season, Survivor Chronicles travels to the most famous setting of all:



Starring: Host Tom "Aaron" Bombadil
(Disclaimer: I am not a graphic artist)
(Ha it says "Outlast Mordor". I didn't plan that I swear.)

Players will participate in a series of challenges inspired by the stories and world created by J.R.R. Tolkien. The existing conflicts and strife in Middle Earth take shape immediately as contestants are divided into two tribes of eight:



The hardy dwarves, who have been molded by hardship to be as tough as the very stone which they call home, and



The elves, an elegant race of unparalleled beauty and grace. (Note: If people of beauty and grace are not available, you may substitute regular fat slobs from the internet.)

The rivalry between the dwarves and the elves is well-known in Middle Earth and stretches further back than even the most ancient living elves can remember. Before the threat of Sauron is fully realized, these two proud races will compete against one another for control of Middle Earth.

When 12 Survivors remain, they will be asked to rank each other from most outgoing to least. The outgoing members of both tribes will be reorganized into, naturally, the most gregarious race in Middle Earth:



The shy members of both tribes will become:



As hobbits are introverted and do not prefer the company of other races, perhaps grouping them together will entice them to emerge from their Hobbit Holes to socialize with like-minded folk.

When nine contestants remain, the threat of Sauron can no longer be ignored. Those nine remaining citizens of Middle Earth, men, hobbits, elves, and dwarves alike, must band (merge) together to become ...



A Fellowship of Nine.

At this point, nobody is truly safe from Sauron's forces. The only respite they have is in the form of the One (Immunity) Ring, which allows them to remain invisible from being voted off ... but at what cost? (At no cost. It's the immunity idol, but ... y'know ... Lord of the Rings lore.)

From here on, the Fellowship will compete to decide who will be the final two to take the Ring into Mordor and up the fiery slopes of Mount Doom. The seven members of the Fellowship left behind them will then decide who will throw the Ring into the depths of the volcano, defeating Sauron and earning the glory of saving all of Middle Earth. (Final two, jury of seven. Did you catch that? I'm trying not to overdo the flavor here ...)

Sample Challenge: Battle for Helm's Deep
A simple twist on an old challenge finds the two tribes needing to protect Helm's Deep (specifically the Horn of Helm Hammerhand) from siege until reinforcements arrive. Each team will receive access to a special board where several of their members will hide the Horn of Helm Hammerhand, among any collection of distractions and enticements. After given time to do so, the remaining members of both teams will raid the Keep of the opposite tribe. When a tribe's horn is found by raiders, their Keep falls while their enemies call for reinforcements and drive the raiding party from their own Keep. (First one to post where the Horn is wins. Capice?)


With accessible lore and a hell of a lot of it (ever read the Silmarillion?), there's plenty more material and storylines to work with in Middle Earth. It'll be fun for players, hosts, watchers ... you name it.

Survivor Chronicles: Nintendo

There has been murmur in the lands of Nintendodia, the wide universe in which all of the Nintendo universes are within, murmurs of a conflict in the Mushroom Kingdom. You see, Mario has decided that he has had one too many run-ins with Bowser, and it's time that some order is finally brought to the land. Mario suggests that a king is appointed over all of Nintendodia.

But as you can already tell, choosing somebody to elect is a lot more difficult than just naming somebody. Fights started to break out, nobody could agree who should ascend the thrones. Donkey Kong was brought up quickly, but he couldn't rule without monkeying around. Kirby was brought up but everybody agreed he sucks. Even Mario himself was briefly considered, but that idea was soon tossed down the drain.

Finally, after much argument, Bowser launches a missile destroying half of Hyrule, declaring he was going to take over Nintendodia whether people liked it or not. Ganondorf and King K. Rool quickly joined his side, bringing a reign of terror among the people. Finally a rebellion was formed, under the command of Donkey Kong, Samus Aran, and Olimar . The goal of the rebellion is simple, defeat the Koopa Empire, and put a rightful king on the throne.

But who will this king be? Who can lead Nintendodia to an age of peace and prosperity?

We'll just have to find out, won't we?

The Twist
The three teams of the game are the 3 main armies. Based off of application and a possible pregame survey, the players are split originally by personality. The loud and funny people get assigned to the Kongs, the cutthroat players to Samus Aran, and then quieter players assigned to Olimar. These tribes only last 3 weeks, when there will be a challenge that places 3 players as company leaders, who will schoolyard pick their new tribe.

This is the point where the main twist starts. The next 6 players that are voted out are not out of the game yet, but instead become mercenaries who will compete in their own set of scored challenges. When the tribes merge at 9, the mercenary with the highest score will rejoin the main company for the final 10.

Example Challenge

Koopaling Attack!

The Koopalings are attacking your base camp, and breaking down your fuel supply! Over the next 24 hours, at 10 random times, with at least one hour in between, a Koopaling will break through your defences and start destroying your fuel supply. You have 1000 fuel tanks to begin with, and every minute a Koopaling is in your base, you will lose 1 fuel tank. You will be notified of a Koopaling entry in your tribe immunity challenge topic.

In addition to the randomly timed Koopalings, every tribe has two captive Koopalings that they may unleash at any time on the enemy tribes. The one hour between Koopaling rule does not apply here, and you may unleash both at the same time or each separately. They may be given to the same tribe, or one to each tribe.

The tribe with the least fuel at the end shames their commander, and as a result one member will be fired from the company.
