Possible Survivor 2 tourney...

Well there is plenty of room in the SE universe from more than one tournament. I would like to see someone do a team tournament. The Suvivor Tourney isn't a team event though.

Well you could always make it a team event for the first few rounds of the tourney till the numbers started to get thin

Just like in the real tv show where first they play the challenges for the team, then it switches to individual glory near the end game.

It could be done, depends if you want to do it

Well you are certainly free to make alliances or whatever you feel would get you deeper into the tournament. What I don't want to do is force these artifically on people. I want people to be free to make or break alliances whenever they feel it benefits them the most. This way you never know if your ally is going to turn on you. It's that little extra bit of the unknown that makes things really interesting.

I'd love to play but I know I could never keep up with 36hr turns. It is an effort for me to do 48hr turns as it is.

Consider this:

Start with two "tribes"; one game dedicated to each. Each tribe must eliminate it's weakest member.

At some point, the tribes must merge, and then there will be a free-for-all. However, as with the show- alliances will preserve within the tribes. You will see that cross-tribal alliances will be rare. After playing 10 or so rounds of "you get my back, I'll get yours," you will tend to trust that person when the two tribes merge into one game, rather than some fresh meat. Besides, you will be suspicious and paranoid (and rightly so) of the alliances formed by the other tribe.

Another thing to add as a feature to this game is "IMMUNITY." If you are the player who successfully eliminates the weak race, you get to sit out the next round. That will provide incentive for aggressors, rather than having everyone adopt long drawn-out defensive postures. That should help hurry along playing time.

The only problem with the tribes is one game will end beofre the other and they will be waiting around on the other game before they can start the next round. That happened a LOT in survivor 1. I will add tribes in, but only as a Last resort if we get more than 20 people to join.

The immunity thing sounds interesting, but there are problems with it. How do you determine who knocked off the other empire? What if it was more than one cooperating? Or worse what if you had been beating on this guy and had him down to one planet and another guy happens along at a critical moment and finishes him off? Who gets the immunity?

Sorry, there are just too many judgement calls that have to be made with that sort of arrangment. But it is an interesting idea.
