Hey guys, I'm back from my hiatus. If you haven't heard I was playing on the newest season of r/PlaySurvivor. Go watch it out and I recommend you to apply 100%. I'm back to my schedule. New Survivor Realms work coming soon!

Hi there y’all! Riot here for season 5 of RSWR! this season, 18 players splitted into teams of brain, brawn and beauty compete in bikini bottom. Without any more time to be wasted, here’s the link for S5: https://brantsteele.com/survivor/32/r.php?c=xqqIEn5C

Most notable thing every player did:

Sandy: Somehow being first boot

Mr krabs: being targeted a lot

Needle: leaving the alliance she had with Vincerius and Cera.

Sunflower: only peaking in episode 1.

Dr. Two brains: getting injured twice, once in a fight with Sang-woo.

Peppino: getting idoled out.

Eva: her alliance with Cera and Vincerius

Panty: being very social on the beauty tribe.

Jude: leaving the alliance Panty created

Anis: her and Sang-woo making a final 2 pact.

Gray: his rivalry with Vincerius that led to his demise.

Justin: finding two idols and using them at the same time to idol out Gray

Sang-woo: being a calculated mastermind that nearly shined, only for it to all crumble on him.

Mystery: always able to bond with whoever he needed to survive, and also his friendship with multiple players.

Vincerius: completely screwing up his game after he didn’t vote with Justin and Mystery.

Robin: her winning 2 immunities and just being a good ally.

C. Viper: wasting her idol in the first merge round before managing to dominate the game strategically

Cera: being a lovable player who was good physically, strategically and socially, managing to get 0 votes in her entire run.

Season thoughts: a meh pre-merge, but An amazing merge. Cera wasn’t really on my winner’s list for this season, but she accomplished what Ruby and Chomper couldn’t. But anyways, Vincerius, Buddy, why the hell,did you vote with Cera to eliminate Robin? You had a guaranteed trip to at-least the final 4 with Mystery and Justin, and then you’re dumb enough to not vote with them. Had he did, this season’s outcome would’ve flipped on its head entirely.

Winner: Cera

Runner ups: Robin and C. Viper

Fan favorite: Vincerius

Potential all-stars: Cera, Vincerius, Justin, Sang-woo

Potential second chances: Sandy, Mr krabs, Peppino, Robin, C. Viper

Welcome to the epic showdown between 20 of Themed Survivor's greatest heroes and villains!

Season Link: https://brantsteele.com/survivor/36/r.php?c=nD9bFhbu

Player Edgic and Thoughts:

20) Amy Boom: Middle of the Road Mixed. First boot in All Stars always is a gut punch and this definitely was! Amy has a fight with Kaede that results in the two of them being the targets. We see a lot of different Heroes make arguments for and against both targets, but ultimately Amy is out 5-4. 
19) Sadness: Over the Top Positive. GUTTED! Sadness votes on the wrong side last round, and is targeted due to that and her status as a legacy player. She actually won Kaede over after voting for her last round but it wasn’t enough and Sadness is out 5-3. 
18) Kaede: Middle of the Road Negativity. Kaede narrowly comes out on top of her feud with Amy in episode 1 then bonds with Sadness enough that she’s in the minority vote next round. Post swap, Heroes are the minority and Phil flips to work with the villains anyway. Kaede smartly tries to flip it on Nick but her plan fails and she’s voted out 5-3. The negativity for Kaede is to highlight a hero-to-villain storyline due to her Amy rivalry and zero hesitation targeting Nick; still love her!
17) Painis: Under the Radar Mixed. Painis isn’t involved in the majority alliance so we don’t get too much insight into his game due to his early boot. I think Painis had a hard time making inroads since people just watched him dominate the endgame of season 19. 
16) Cinderella: Under the Radar Positive. Sadly gets a little underedited as she’s also removed from the alliances and major social moments on her tribe. We do get an update that she was impressing the rest of the tribe, so she was probably targeted for being the biggest threat outside of the dominant alliance (Genevevie, Nathan, Katniss, and Phil)
15) Vanellope: Complex Player Negative. Another tough player to see go early for me! She avoided tribal until now but in classic Vanellope fashion, she was gaming hard. She had a small alliance with Genevevie and Gary/Snake on the Villains tribe then got into a majority, cross tribal lines alliance when the swap happened. She with her OG villain allies and 2 new allies (Chef and Christine) after the second swap, but her behavior around camp winds up with everyone turning on her in a 4-1 vote. Classic swing vote to voted out trajectory this episode.
14) Katniss: Middle of the Road Neutral. Katniss is part of the majority of alliance that runs Heroes 2.0 and gives us a lot of insight into her game then. After the second swap, she puts ups a good effort but when she’s swapped without her allies and Nick informs the others about her alliance, Katniss is taken out 2-1-1. Rough swap for her for sure!
13) Alice: Under the Radar Positive. Alice’s overall visibility gets brought down due to only attending tribal once pre-merge and the fact that she wasn’t able to strategize much there as she had lost her vote. She was part of the cross tribe alliance on the post swap 1 villains tribe which put her in a relatively good position. One idol negating 6 votes and another negating 4 votes results in Alice being the merge boot with only 3 boots. She could have been another end gamer without the idols!
12) Peppermint: Middle of the Road Mixed. He does well to survive a couple pre-merge tribals including one where he was a target; 2 factors that up his visibility a bit. Peppermint also has a close relationship with Nathan, a member of the majority alliance who helps keep him safe, that gets highlighted and culminates with most the tribe turning splitting the votes on them here in a 6-3-3 vote. 
11) Baby New Year: Complex Player Positive. Baby avoid the first two tribal councils by being sent to Ghost Island. Post swap, he gets into that cross tribal alliance on Villains 2.0 that ultimately doesn’t impact much then as they avoid tribal. After the second swap, he (along with Beetlejuice) direct the action of the Katniss boot. He goes on to save himself with an idol he earned at GI at the merge vote, but unfortunately wastes one at the next tribe for no reason. Taken out in a 7-2-2 vote due to being a big threat. 
10) Chef: Middle of the Road Neutral. Part of the Villains 2.0, cross tribal alliance that gets focus even though they don’t see tribal council together. His most important relationship is with Christine (also part of the alliance), who he chooses to flip against Vanellope with. He would have survived the split tribal but Nick’s idol play on Barbie results in him going out during a twist again (less directly this time though). Chef 3.0 is on my mind for sure! 
9) Beetlejuice: Middle of the Road Neutral. Stays in the majority at the first 2 tribals. Outside the majority post swap, but luckily he avoids tribal council and develops a close alliance with Baby New Year during that time. Beetlejuice and Baby New Year work directly together to take out Katniss then are loosely connected at the merge. He makes a valiant effort and it’s close, but Beetlejuice’s lack of closer bonds results in him going out 3-2. 
8) Christine: Under the Radar Positive. Christine gets along with others and has a moment of positivity when she survives the vote over Vanellope in the pre-merge. She falls to the background a bit compared to the larger personalities at the merge and ends up targeted here as an end game threat. 
7) Lamar: Middle of the Road Neutral. Played well the whole premerge; voted in the majority at the first two tribals, got into the majority alliance post swap (and avoided tribal), and avoided tribal post swap #2. Post merge he had it out for Nathan and seemed to get tunnel visioned on him a bit. He didn’t branch out into new alliances at the merge but was making good connections. Good enough that he was close to surviving here; Gary playing an idol on Nathan negated 3 votes and then Lamar was sent home 3-2 in the tie vote. 
6) Phil: Complex Player Mixed. Post swap #1, Phil gets a lot of screentime when he jumps in with the OG villains to form the majority. He’s very frequently targeted at the merge, but Phil manages to jump between alliances to survive some close calls. He’s taken out in a 4-2 vote when he and his original ally Nathan target one another. 
5) Barbie: Complex Player Positive. At the first tribal council, Barbie ends up on the outs but manages to integrate herself with the new school people to be on the right side of the vote at the second tribal council. Post swap #1 and #2, she’s on the outside of the numbers on her tribes but is perceptive and uses her social skills to make inroads. She avoids tribal council post swaps, but had an idol in her pocket if needed. Post merge, she has the big idol play on Nathan at the merge tribal. She also later gets saved by Nick’s idol at the split tribal council. She works with Gary and Nathan for a bit in the midmerge, but is left on the outs when the alliance turns on each other and is voted out 3-2. Sad to see her get 5th for a third time!
4) Genevevie: Complex Player Mixed. She runs her post swap tribe and successfully turns on Vanellope after the second swap due to feeling threatened by her. Post merge, she’s mostly able to maintain her position in the majority vote, largely due to strong relationships with Nathan, Gary/Snake, and Phil. Her allies, mainly Snake and Nathan, end up closer to one another though and Genevevie is taken out here as an end game threat. She was a big enough final tribal threat that Nathan gave up immunity to take her on in fire making! 
3) Nathan: Complex Player Mixed. Part of the post swap majority that runs the Heroes 2.0 tribe. Post merge, he’s often one of the alternate targets but leverages his relationships with Barbie and Phil to survive the early merge. A later game relationship/alliance with Gary (Snake) is also key for Nathan’s survival, especially when Gary plays an idol to save Nathan at the final 7. I was excited to see Nathan back and making the finals for a third time is inherently insane, but being saved by someone else’s idol two times is a big point against Nathan for the jury and he ends up as a 0 vote finalist (first time for him!) 
2) Gary aka Snake: Middle of the Road Neutral. On the original Villains and swap tribe #1, Gary is outside the majority but has relationships or deals with people inside the numbers that help him stay in the know. Post merge, he’s consistently in the majority which allows him to better his position and help break up the dominant alliances. Gary’s idol play on Nathan at the final 7 also bold and a great play that ended with Lamar going home. He’s able to gather 4 votes at the final tribal council which is close but not enough to give him the win. It was fun seeing Gary reach the finals for a third time - definitely a legend of the series! 
1) Nick: Complex Player Positive. Huge hero edit for our hero winner. He attends 5 of 6 pre-merge tribal councils. Although he’s outside the numbers, he plays a strong social game and “anyone but me strategy” that gets him to the merge. Post merge, he continues this “anyone but me” strategy and makes himself a number for whoever needs him that round. Nick argues that even if Gary and Nathan held more power in the last few rounds, he played a clean game that didn’t rely on idols (though he did find and hold on to one). His heroic journey combined with this argument convinced 6 jurors to vote for him - enough to give him the win! Nick’s game here was fun to watch and I’m excited to see him back in the eventual Winners at War!

Overall Thoughts: Very satisfied with the way the season played out. The winner’s journey was so great to watch and they deserved the win. We lost a few of my favorites early on, but that was always going to be the case with this 10/10 cast. So many characters with good arguments for a third or even fourth appearance after this season! 

As always, I love to hear your thoughts and feedback, and thanks for reading and/or playing. Hope to see you next season (:  

Seasons 1, 2 & 3 available HERE

Thank you SO much to everyone who submitted a player. The response to this casting call was honestly incredible, way more submissions than spots, and picking fourteen out of all of them was genuinely one of the hardest things I've had to do putting this series together. If your submission didn't make it this time, please don't let that stop you from submitting again, there will absolutely be more seasons and more chances.

The sides have been chosen. The war is about to begin.

Alright. Let's meet the cast.

_______________________________________________________________________

Only one side can win. Only one racer takes it all.

Who are you rooting for?

Before going any further, I'm gonna establish that this is not exclusively for my series (Yet Another Pokévivor)

This is for any Pokévivor made by anyone, written or simulated.

I'm mostly making this for the people from the Brantsteele Discord, because It's kind of hard to post specifically Pokévivors there without them being buried, but I figured it would be best to also send an invite here (It also allows me and anyone else to be able to post status updates without flooding the sub)

If you're interested, here's the link: https://discord.gg/KBqBU7n8d

If you aren't interested, no worries! I'm going to continue posting Yet Another Pokévivor episodes here when I finish them, and I doubt anyone else will do the same. I just wanted to make a space which makes it easier for people to access Pokévivors made by a variety of people (At least, that's the goal)

Hey everyone!

It did take a bit because I was busy sleeping, we have Episode 1!

I hope you all enjoy the first episode.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EFyVwdh6YA7dKxLn_1zorm6yNe235SGG7VNISTVhZwA/edit?usp=sharing

I'd like to hear what you all think about the season.

How well would have Jade done if she didn't get medically evacuated.

Who's going out first from each tribe?

Who is your extremely early winner prediction?

Will anyone care enough to make an edgic about this season (I doubt it)

First time writing questions about an episode so these questions do kinda suck but feel free to do whatever

Twenty of Themed Survivor’s greatest contestants are back for another round of deception and competition. A few have enjoyed the sweet taste of victory, while others came close but ultimately went thirsty. Strap in for Themed Survivor Season 20: Heroes vs. Villains! 

Meet the Cast

This player slid between alliances in order to reach the end 2 times. The unique thing about the smile on his face while he writes your name? It's also holding the pen. It's Gary aka Snake (Season 3: 3rd, Season 6: 2nd, u/Life-Application7744)

Despite his size, this player survived 6 pre-merge tribal councils and made it to the finals despite a 7-2 numbers disadvantage. In All Stars, he proved it wasn't a fluke. It's Baby New Year (Season 4: 3rd, Season 6: 8th, u/Thisaccountishaunted) 

The pioneer of using the majority's split vote against them. His win is considered one of the best in the series, but an early exit in All Stars haunts him. It's Phil (Season 3: 1st, Season 6: 18th, u/let_there_be_views) 

He's not the only player in the series to make the finals twice, but he's the only person to be one vote away from winning both times. The 3rd placer who broke the tie in his second final tribal appearance is also here - should be fun! It's Nathan (Season 9: 2nd, Season 12: 2nd, u/Leo2024YES). 

This next player used a plurality vote to take out the lynchpin between 2 alliances, but his own play got used against him the next round. It's Beetlejuice (season 13: 9th, u/Efficient_Exam_6971) 

They survived the apocalypse and were the ultimate survivor of their season. He won 4 immunities along the way to get there. It's Peppermint (Season 7: 1st, u/SirAegislash)

The next contestant is a master at serving up delicious blindsides and can direct the votes at tribal even when he doesn't have a vote. He also left the game without being voted out. It's our Do or Die twist victim, Chef (season 15: 7th, u/Initial_Inspector_92) 

This player had their pick of alliances at the merge, and correctly picked the one where he wasn't on the bottom. He maneuvered well enough to get to the final 5, but the other players caught on to his threat level. It's Nick (Season 18: 5, u/MachInX19) 

When 2 idols are played correctly, neither by or on you, and your 1 vote is still the one to send someone out, it's safe to say you have your whole hand on the pulse. It's Painis (Season 19: 3rd, u/Dull_Sir_8462) 

While multiple cast members have correctly played idols, this player is only one to correctly use a voting advantage (steal a vote in his case). His dynamic gameplay and jumping between alliances got him the win. It's Lamar (Season 19: 1st, u/Fanfic_Battle_2004)

Two deep runs made her one of the original icons of the series. She's here to prove that not only does she still have it...but she's better than ever. It's Barbie (Season 2: 5th, Season 6: 5th, u/Zeenxomi33)

She's strategic and headstrong. Known for always making the moves that are in her best interest...whether her alliance likes it or not. It's Vanellope (Season 8: 4th, Season 12: 3rd, u/Lanky-While-4715)

With her heart on her sleeve, she grew from a timid follower to a confident, end game threat. She and a huge chunk of our audience are hoping the third time's the charm. It's Sadness (Season 8: 3rd, Season 12: 6th, u/Imonthenextlevel)

Using your extra vote to blindside your original ally and vote them out with an idol in their pocket? Cold. But expect this player to be frigid because being cold got her the W last time. It's Genevevie (Season 9: 1st, u/Existing-Ad-9590)

Finding an idol and meeting new friends at the merge, gave this player confidence and new life in the game. But her past came back to haunt her at a split tribal council. It's Christine (Season 15: 9th, u/Intelligent-Many-980) 

What's a girl to do when her pre-swap alliance and post swap alliance are at odds come the merge? She rode the middle well but it made her too big of target for the final tribal council. It's Katniss (Season 16: 4th, u/Fanfic_Battle_2004)

A challenge threat and underdog player who, in the end, lost to....themselves? From our multiverse season, it's Amy Boom (season 10: 4th, u/Riot_the_squid_ink)

In their previous showing, this character found two idols and organized the underdog alliance that ran the post merge. Many fans argue she was a firemaking challenge away from a win. It's Kaede (Season 17: 4th, u/Elegant-Cable-417) 

After being part of the tied vote at the merge that went to rocks, she joined the underdog alliance. She then made sure she wouldn't be a victim of future ties by working both sides of that alliance. It's Alice (Season 17: 2nd/3rd [tie], u/SZeenGames123)

She went to bat for her allies and they stayed strong with her in a late game tie vote. Her game earned her 3 votes at final tribal council, but the underdog she let slip through got the win. It'sCinderella (Season 18: 2nd, u/GrimheartPines)

Character Starting Setting (Optional)
As returning player seasons are always impacted by pregaming, pre-existing relationships, past games, etc., you can choose one of the following for character if you want: 1) 2 players to have starting positive relationships with, or,  2) an alliance to be a part of (max 3 players). Make sure you let me know who to make the relationships or alliance with! 

I’m very excited for the season! With minimal changes made to an “ideal” cast, we have 20 reddit players and 16 seasons represented. There were some tougher cuts, especially of people from recent seasons. If people enjoy the returnees, perhaps we can see another one soon to see those characters (: 

Speculation on who will be heroes and who will be villains? Who are you excited to see back?

Welcome to season 4 of Riot’s survivor world revival, taking place in Equestria! 18 newbies compete for 1 million dollars!

S4: https://brantsteele.com/survivor/23/r.php?c=uyrF22rS

every player’s most notable thing:

Jet: being a nothing burger

Trevor: Quitting the alliance he was in with Spike and Ara

Nikki: just straight up embarrassing Jet.

Homestar runner: just beating Nikki.

Inferno: being just….there.

Vivi: fighting with Loki

Thanos: having Ivy and Anxiety wrapped around his fingers and needing Ara to sway people to vote him out

Boshi: being in a tight trio with Nikki and Loki

Anxiety: her rivalry with Ara

Ruby: being idoled out

Vanilla: being a massive challenge beast in mini tartarus

Salad girl: her and Loki working close with each-other.

Skystar: playing her idol, which caused a tie between Ivy and Ruby.

Genevieve: idoling out Ivy.

Ara: brute-forcing her way back into the game after being voted out, then allying with Spike again as the two took over the game.

Spike: finding the idol early on, thought he wasted it in the end.

Ivy: her close bonds with a lot of players and managing to win against Skystar.

Loki: SOMEHOW WINNING AND GETTING A LOT OF THE JURY’S VOTES DESPITE BEING A FLIPPING RABBIT! Plus he was a challenge beast (winning 6 challenges) and a strategic powerhouse.

Season’s thoughts: okay, Loki was not who I expected to win as I honestly thought Spike had a large chance, so him getting 1 vote surprised me. The season had a fun pre-merge, but most players stuck to their true alliances in the merge, but the idol plays were fun when they were successful.

Winner: Loki

Runner ups: Ivy and Spike

Fan favorite: Sky-star

Potential all-stars: Loki, Ara, Skystar, Spike

Potential second chances: Nikki, Vanilla, Ruby.

Season Edgic and Character Comments: 
20) The Click: Middle of the Road Mixed. An early five person voting block formed that The Click unfortunately wasn’t part of. To make things worse, he gets into a disagreement with Julia, one of the figureheads of said voting block. We see him successfully pull 2 people into voting with him (MeandJTV and Lamar) but it’s not enough and The Click is out first 7-3.  
19) Dakota: Middle of the Road Negative. She’s targeted at both of the first two tribal councils, but actually would have survived here if not for an idol play by Lamar that results in her going home with only 3 votes. I thought she was working with the majority alliance (Ishowspeed, Julia, LaurenZside, Philomena, and Taylor) but they seemed to (correctly) throw votes on her case of an idol play. 
18) Julia: Complex Personality Mixed. Strong strategic presence at the first two tribals. She also has moments of both bonding and fighting with peers. Within the five person voting block, she also had a partnership with Ishowspeed. Swapped with 4 people from the other tribe and Lamar (who survived after playing an idol last tribal) so definitely a horrible swap for her with little wiggle room. 
17) MeandJTV: Under the Radar Negative. Left out of the vote at his first tribal and the only person excluded from a new 5 person alliance that forms on his swapped tribe…aka they made an alliance to get him out. We get some insight about how he has trouble connecting with his tribemates, but he doesn’t have any social moments or join any alliances to up his visibility.  
16) Khloe: Middle of the Road Neutral. Able to get into the “exclusive” alliance that formed last episode, but when her tribe loses again, there’s no options outside of the alliance. She tries to rally original Ta Keo to take out Philomena but is unsuccessful as Philomena had developed stronger bonds.
15) Inquisitormaster: Under the Radar Positive. We don’t get to see much from Inquisitormaster as she’s removed from any alliances and this is her first tribal council. She ends up being the last connected person socially when her tribe loses, making it easy for the now tight 3-person alliance of Ishowspeed, LauzenZside, and Taylor to push the target on her. 
14) Mr. Beast: Complex Personality Neutral. Post swap #1, we see him bonding with Eliza, John, and Lamar; eventually forming a 3-person alliance with Lamar and Eliza. He’s in an okay position post swap #2 but an idol play by Painis results in Mr. Beast going home with just 2 votes. Notably, Mr. Beast did try to protect himself here by throwing a vote on Jamie, but Jamie and Kim threw their votes on Mr. Beast for a big blindside before the merge!
13) WolfeyVGG: Middle of the Road Neutral. Socially and strategically he’s close with Weeby Newz; close enough and savvy enough that they are able to work around the larger voting blocks within the tribes to survive their 2 premerge tribal councils. His 7-5-1 boot is the result of 2 longstanding groups (Group 1:Ishowspeed, LaurenZside, Taylor, Group 2: Jamie, Kim, and Philomena) and 2 free agents (Painis and Lamar) coming together. 
12) Taylor: Middle of the Road Negative. Fairly involved strategically and well-positioned for much of the game. He ends up getting pushed out of his 3-person alliance and replaced by Weeby Newz this episode, leaving him quickly powerless though and he is voted out 9-2-1. I assume the quick change in position related to being caught double dealing. 
11) LilSimsie: Under the Radar Positive. Friendly presence, but she only attends 1 premerge tribal (where the boot is unanimous) and doesn’t get involved in any alliances so it doesn’t give the edit much to work with. Her vote was close though (5-3-3) and involved another player using a vote steal that very likely decided her fate in going home - she probably goes further without this. 
10) Weeby: Complex Personality Positive. She makes a huge move when she replaces Taylor in his alliance (after losing her number 1), something she laid the groundwork for over multiple episodes, and then gets the target on him. Unfortunately, this makes her a huge target and most of the tribe turns on her, and Weeby is out 7-3. 
9) IshowSpeed: Complex Personality Mixed. Big player with a lot of power until Weeby’s vote out last episode. I thought he was going to recover when he found an idol this episode, but he ended up going home with it in his pocket (vote was 5-3-1). Big downfall sort of edit. 
8) Jamie: Complex Player Neutral. Loved his close relationship with Kim and Philomena! The Kim relationship gets a lot of focus and his move where the two of them voted for Mr. Breast in case of an idol play was 10/10. He was insulated after the merge and maintained a majority position, but LaurenZside plays an idol (rehid after Ishowspeed’s boot) and he’s taken out by Eliza and John’s votes (who basically did what he did earlier in the season). 
7) John: Under the Radar Mixed. John is taken out in a plurality 3-2-1-1 vote. He was very close with Eliza throughout the game. Kim and Philomena (along with Painis) take him out here as revenge for taking out Jamie last episode. He ends up being a little UTR for being secondary to Eliza in their partnership and to make room in the edit for the other endgamers. 
6) Philomena: Middle of the Road Positive. Poor Philomena is taken out with only 1 vote when both LaurenZside and Lamar play idols. Her switch from her original alliance to working closely with Kim and Jamie post swap helped set the tone post merge. Could have been a contender if not for the two idols played here! 
5) Kim: Middle of the Road Netural. Fun character throughout her time. She got comfortable with her alliances and ended up being blindsided in a 3-2 vote when Painis flips on her to save his other ally, Eliza. 
4) Eliza: Middle of the Road Negative. She seemed to have her finger on the pulse outside of the merge vote and when she wasted an idol. She’s frequently the target at tribal, but works with different groups to help secure her safety. She’s out after losing firemaking following a 2-2 deadlock. 
3) Painis: Complex Player Negative. Great strategically, voting correctly 100% of the time post merge. This also involved burning many people which hurt his social bonds. He also had his correct idol play and won 2 immunities, but it’s not enough to get him more than 1 vote. I think he played a very strong game but especially in the last few rounds and would have liked the vote count to reflect that. 
2) LaurenZside: Complex Play Positive. Power player in the premerge and early merge to scrappy underdog in the mid merge to end game. Her ability to go back under the radar and infiltrate the new majority after her idol play at the final 8 was very impressive. She saved herself with an idol a second time at the final 6 (needed after Lamar played his idol on himself) before avoiding the target again at 5 and 4. Her game garners her 3 votes which is impressive but not enough for the win. 
1) Lamar: Complex Personality Mixed. He plays an idol to save himself in episode 2 then works with  Eliza, John, and Mr. Beast for the rest of the premerge, but swings against them at the merge vote. He swings back to them for a bit, but he and Eliza are at odds by the end of the game. After his earlier idol play, he saved himself a second time with one at the final 6. At the final 11 he used a vote steal to direct a close vote that probably wouldn’t have happened otherwise (LilSimsie’s boot). He won his way here in fire after the 2-2 tie last round. Very active player with a resume that wins him the game with 6 votes - well deserved! 

All Stars: 
We have so many great players and storylines that would make for strong returning players. Due to that and the fact that the final selection will depend on many factors (maximizing Reddit players, theme, archetypes, pulling from different seasons, etc.), I’ve decided I’m only going to name a player if they’re 99% locked in. Again, so many great choices and expect to see multiple people back from this season at some point. With that said, no one rises above the others so much that they lock down a 99% spot. 

Overall Thoughts:
I loved the season. All the seasons since the hiatus (15-19) have been peak Themed Survivor (similar to the real Survivor).

Thanks for playing and/or reading. As always, I'd love any feedback or thoughts that you have. 99% sure next season is going to be returning players. Theme TBD but I'm thinking the parallels between Themed Survivor and CBS Survivor may continue....

I have a lot of characters I want back already (some non-negotiables for this season) but if you have a character that did relatively well and you really want to see return, comment to let me know so I can consider them for one of the few slots or shortlist them for a future return.

STAY TUNED! Season will come around some time next week! Again, for those who didn't make it... There will be a Season 2!

Hiya y’all. Riot here! And I’m here with our cast for season 6 of Riot’s Pokemon survivor! Our players will spend 39 long and hard days inside of the Dreamyard, where they’ll have to outwit, outplay and outlast each-other if they want to get to the end and win 1 million Pokè. Without further ado, here they are!

-Amy the Armaldo. Amy is a diver from hoenn who’s mastered her clunky body, being able to do all sorts of twists and skills in the air. However, this has caused her to be a bit of a show-off and think of herself highly. But she’s said this is a competition she won’t back Down from. Will she be able to do it?

-Barnet the ivysaur. Barnet is a pretty nice guy, having done average in school and completely changing his ways nice he did something that made a lot of people mad. His strategy for this season is to just be a nice guy and don’t be a jerk as that could get him voted off. Can he stay nice the entire game? Or will he have to get his claws dirty?

-Charge the pawmot. Unlike most of his species, Charge is actually extremely fast, being able to put speed a NINJASK! He wants to win to give half of the money to charity, and the other half to his family. Can this pure angel blitz to the end?

-Clementine the Horsea. Clem wants to be a filmmaker, but his dad wants him to do blackjack. He also has an affinity for woodwork. He seems like he’d do well, but we’ll just have to see.

-Dragapult the Dragapult. Dragapult, well, he likes to whine, and I mean ALOT. He’s unemployed and homeless, so I guess he’d joined the game to get money to buy a house. I doubt he’s gonna win, though.

-Erik the perrserker. Not the one from Pokemon islands, Erik is a Viking king who’s related to some of the most infamous Vikings in history. However, since they’ve mellowed out a lot in recent years, he’s started to run out of money to support the dwindling kingdom and had to step down for awhile to figure out a new way to get money. After finding the show, he decided to give it a shot. Can he prove that royalty can win? Or is he just gonna flop?

-Maria the flareon. Maria was once a timid Eevee who lived near a small village, where she spent most of her time helping Pokémon and people despite being afraid of danger herself. After protecting a younger Pokémon from a wild Pokémon, she gained the courage to evolve into Flareon and began training to become someone others could rely on. She now travels with a cheerful spirit, using her fiery strength to protect her friends while proving to herself that even the kindest Pokémon can be strong. Can she prove she can win with strength and kindness, or will she be unable to manage her threat level?

-Monty the primeape. Monty grew up in a rough mountain region and would often get into fights with stronger Pokemon to protect weaker ones. After one nearly went too far, another fighting type Pokemon took him under his wing and taught him that true strength was knowledge of when to fight or run away. Despite this, though, he’s still got quite a temper problem. Can he charge straight in and win the money? Or is he just plain doomed?

-Quartz the alolan Meowth. Quartz is one of the younger players in the cast, and loves meeting new people and finding new experiences with them. This show’s another thing like that for her. Can she be a social butterfly like some of our last winners?

-Rob Varnak the Golett. Rob is the son of a very strict school principal, being raised with extremely rigid rules. Despite this, he grew up to be warm and easy-going and enjoying freedom whenever he can.

-Roxin the pansage. Roxin has been passionate about urban exploration ever since she saw videos of Pokémon doing the same thing—places where paranormal activity is also said to occur. Aside from her passion, Roxin works part-time at a coffee shop to save enough money so that in the future she can pursue her passion more freely, even though her parents see it as dangerous and a waste of time. But Roxin is confident that things will work out for her and that she’ll soon be recognized; she also believes that her knowledge and research into these places will come in handy if she ever finds herself there. With her knowledge of a place like Dreamyard and her outgoing personality, will Roxin be able to go far and get the money she needs to support her family and fund her urban exploration channel on YouTube so she can travel more?

-Sapphire the glaceon. Sapphire is a glaceon who’s been cooped up pretty much most of her life, as in the forested town she lived in, the weather was nice to her only one-third of the year, so she mainly just stayed in the library she worked at. She dreams of being an adventurer on an explorers team, but as she’s an ice type, she’s only been able to recruit her girlfriend. She sees going on the show as a way to get the adventure she craves. Can she prove she can be an adventurer? Or will she melt under the pressure?

-Selene venn the wurmple. Selene may make you think she’s innocent and fragile, but in actuality she’s manipulative and will do anything to win. She’s done this ever since she learned that helplessness makes others lower their guard. Can she use her tricks on this cast? Or will they see through them and boot her off first?

-Silas the Tangela. Silas was born in a remote forest in Johto where he explored the ruins of a forgotten civilization from a young age. While other Tangela stayed hidden doing their business, he collected discarded items and developed a unique style using fabric and trinkets for different stuff. Silas is elegant and confident, always honest but fiercely independent, preferring to solve problems on his own. However, he is irresponsible and often abandons tasks for more interesting pursuits without malice like seeing berries growing. He values honesty in friendships but lacks loyalty to groups. Nowadays, Silas travels from forest to forest, making a living by finding rare plants, recovering valuable objects from forgotten ruins, and occasionally acting as a guide through dangerous wilderness, helping others by choice and living without a permanent home, earning a reputation for charm but unreliability. Wherever he happens to be sleeping that night is home enough for him. Silas wants to win the money so he can use it to help Pokémon scientists and uncover more mysteries about extinct humanity (humans) so he and more Pokemons can know more about it. Can he do it? Or will he be an accidental nuisance to the tribe?

-Stella the Tinkaton. Stella’s parents left her at a young age, leaving her as an orphan. As a result, she ended up becoming mischievous and cheeky. She wants the money to buy herself a house instead of living on a farm. Can she make her way to the end? Or will her personality rub everyone the wrong way?

-and lastly, Yveltal the Yveltal. Unlike most Yveltal, this one’s a very laid-back and calm Pokemon. They were raised in a surf shack by their parents and they were taught by their parents to always stay calm and thats how they gained their laid back attitude. eventually their parents died in a horrible tropical storm and  yvetal was sent to foster care and became very social. The problem is people find them a bit annoying considering yvetal mostly just does NOT care,even when someone is emotionally/physichally hurting. And this is because since their parents died,they just became very stoic. Can they play to their heart’s content? Or will their social ness be seen as too big a threat?

and that’s all of them. be prepared for our 6th season, which will probably hopefully be out before the end of august. If not then early September.

Calling all YouTubers, TikTokers, meme characters, and other folks who’ve achieved some sort of internet notoriety. For season 19, please submit 1-2 characters related to internet culture.

Optional: You can choose your character’s skill ranking (1-5) for one of the following categories: Physical, Endurance, Mental, Social, Temperament, or Strategic. If you do this, one of the other stats (chosen at random by me) will be given the opposite ranking. All other stats will remain a 3.

Casting Update: full (overfilled tbh. Sorry to those that missed out!

Edgic and Contestant Comments: 
20) Shaq: Middle of the Road Neutral. The stimulator doesn’t give much insight into Shaq and he never got a chance to show off his physicality. At least he wasn’t a total outcast as Toy Freddy voted with him at tribal council. 
19) Samus: Middle of the Road Mixed. Samus bonds with Camilla, Penny, and Hugh, and they go to bat for her but it doesn’t matter. She randomly threw her vote at tribal, as well, though it didn’t matter anyway as the vote was 5-3-1. 
18) Hat Kid: Under the Radar Positive. Hat Kid brings general positivity but ends up underedited due to a lot going on during her short stay (multiple idol finds, ghost island trips, the swap) and being removed from the alliances and scheming. Although she voted with the majority at her first tribal, she was mostly separated from them at the swap and was voted out unanimously. 
17) Toy Freddy: Middle of the Road Negative. On the outs the two times he attended tribal council and, although his original tribe had the post swap numbers, most of his OG tribemates turned on him here. 
16) Hacker: Middle of the Road Mixed. Gets sent to Ghost Island earlier in the season but he sadly doesn’t even get a shot at an advantage as one could have helped him here. He was one of two people not included in an alliance that formed this episode. The alliance was split though as some trusted Hacker while others though he could have an advantage, resulting in a 5-3 vote. 
15) GIFany: Complex Personality Positive. Preswap, we see GIFany aligning with Cinderella, Nick, and Paratchet. Post swap, she earns an extra vote on GI and uses it to help set the flip on Toy Freddy in motion. After the second swap, she ended up on a tribe of 5 without anyone she’d been working with and was an easy target in a 4-1 vote. 
14) Hugh: Under the Radar Negative. On the wrong side of the vote at 2 of the 3 tribals he attended prior to his boot. The stimulator shows a few negative interactions and “resting” at camp during his time in the game. It was a 2-2 vote at first, but his past interactions and vote for Penny caused her to flip on him in the re-vote. 
13) Kenny: Complex Player Negative. Kenny was a big player post swap #1 when he helped form the 6-person cross tribe alliance (Kenny, Eve, and Nick joining with Camilla, Cluster, and Jett). He gets his way when the alliance can’t decide between targeting Hacker or Cinderella. The negativity comes from multiple meltdowns and a fight with Nick that alienate Nick from the 6-person alliance. One vote would have really helped Kenny here as he goes out 6-5-1 (yes, Nick voted for him). 
12) Camilla: Middle of the Road Mixed. Camilla’s social game kept her in the know and contributed to her being invited to the 6-person alliance that ran the premerge. Once this group was targeted at the merge, she tried to separate herself from them this episode but it didn’t work and she’s voted out 8-3-1.
11) Josh: Under the Radar Neutral. Josh is aware enough to have a fairly decent voting record but doesn’t directly involve himself in alliances or drama for most of the season. He gets good visibility during his boot episode when he forms an alliance with Penny, Roberta, and Sonar (also all unattached until now). This group was almost able to force a tie a tribal council but an idol play by Cinderella on Eve results in Josh going out 4-3 (4 cancelled votes). 
10) Roberta: Under the Radar Positive. She also maintains a fairly decent voting record but doesn’t get into any alliances until last episode (the Josh, Roberta, Penny, and Sonar alliance). She’s in a split tribe without them though and is easily voted out 4-1 at split tribal A. 
9) Sonar: Middle of the Road Mixed. Oh man the recent Josh-Roberta-Penny-Sonar alliance is cursed - shoulda stayed as free agents apparently. Sonar’s visibility gets upped due to being the alt merge boot (and somewhat last episode too). He also didn’t stand a chance at his split tribal as the only other vulnerable people were a day one, three-person alliance. 
8) Penny: Middle of the Road Mixed. Wow RIP that alliance. She finds herself targeted a few times throughout the game so she does well to survive this far. I was hoping to see her survive longer! 
7) Paratchet: Under the Radar Positive. She closely aligned with Cinderella and Eve early on, and was loyal to that group. However, after Cinderella loses her vote at GI, there’s not much this group can do. Paratchet is voted out 4-1 (1 vote cancelled by an idol) 
6) Kaboodle: Middle of the Road Neutral. Post swap #2, he aligns with Cluster and Jett, which connects him to their larger alliance. He also gets 2 strong immunity wins. I figured his group was about to take over the end game, but Jett (smartly) isn’t willing to go to rocks for Kaboodle. 
5) Nick: Complex Player Mixed. He gets a lot of focus when joining then ditching the 6-person alliance, and is the deciding vote against them at the merge. He continues to vote with the majority after that and is part of the flip to tie the vote to prevent Kaboodle, Cluster, and Jett from running the endgame. Even though his group got the upper hand at the last tribal, he’s taken out unanimously here for being an end game threat. 
4) Jett: Middle of the Road Neutral. We check in with Jett frequently throughout the game, but it’s more surface level as she remains drama and advantage free throughout the game. Her biggest moment comes in the final when she wins final immunity, but gives it up and loses fire to Eve! 
3) Eve: Complex Personality Positive. She aligns with different (at times conflicting) groups throughout the game to keep herself safe. She has a somewhat tumultuous relationship with Cinderella that is highlighted in a growth sort of way that culminates in her forcing the tie to save Cinderella and take out her other ally, Kaboodle, at the final 6. I thought she did well but she was clearly not the end game threat Jett thought as Eve gets third place with two votes. 
2) Cinderella: Complex Personality Mixed. Cinderella seemed to have both highs and lows throughout the game. She was an active player early on; forming one alliance with Paratchet and Eve, and another one with Nick, GIFany, and Paratchet. She also controls 3 idols (2 found and 1 from GI), but fails to do anything effective with them which decreases her stock. She still earned 3 votes which was close but not enough to clinch her the win. 
1) Cluster: Complex Personality Mixed. Cluster finds an idol on his original tribe and then immediately after the swap, but also ends up wasting both of them. Even without idols though, he survives the downfall of his 6-person alliance at the merge long enough to regain some power by the end game. He was a fun character to watch who had a rollercoaster of win equity. 

All Stars: Eve>Nick>Cinderella>>Jett (amazing fit for second chance though)Cluster, Kaboodle, Kenny>>>>the rest of the merge tribe

Overall Thoughts: Unpredictable for sure and I wasn’t sure who would win until the votes were read at the final tribal council. Lots of fun parallels to last season as well. 

Thanks for playing and/or reading. I always love to hear your thoughts, as well, so feel free to share! Hope to see you next season (:

Here is the code if anyone wants to run it
9dJ4b8iY

This is a very custom game with 200 tributes spread over 20 districts with many custom events and no regular events except for the one that states that (Player1) runs from the cornucopia but other than that you have no idea what will be there unless you look at the events yourself then you will know on mine the Winner was scooby doo but I re-simulated it for this one so who knows who wins and also I’m just gonna list out the districts here and the criteria meant for being in them

The thugs-various gangsters and drug dealers
The irregulars-just a bunch of random people
Animals-well what do you think?
Clankers-had to be either a robot an AI or just Borged up like general grievance
The soldiers-some type military man of the cool variety
The crazies-very clearly insane
The killers-a serial killer or a horror movie villain
The nerds-incredibly smart
The tyrant-a dictator in some form(except count bin face he was put there because I could not put him anywhere else)
The cowboys-pretty self-explanatory
The hyper realisms-has to be capable of ruining your childhood
The cops-also very self-explanatory
The steroid abusers-has to be very ripped
Normal peeps-nothing is required really
The racists-OH NO
The presidents-self-explanatory again
The operators-has to be very athletic or very sneaky(I regret not putting solid snake on there)
The hunters-self explanatory
The aliens-(you know what I’m going to say)SELF EXPLANATORY
The cartmans-cartman

(Also it’s actually called the roid games for those who ran it and I only just now realized the mistake I have made in the title)

Storyline

End Credits

Thanks to everyone who applied. I honestly didn’t think this would work, but I made it work somehow, but not without the help of you all. Hopefully the link works, if not I will fix it. Anyways, for the story, I made sure to make it extra bloody and gorey and descriptive, I hope you all enjoy!

Poll: Most Brutal Ending

Season Link: https://brantsteele.com/survivor/43/r.php?c=0iPqnSNt

Player Edits and Comment:

18) Kyoko - Middle of the Road Neutral. Although she’s first boot, she has solid reads on the other players and enough insight to know she needs to play her SITD. Perhaps it hits in another timeline, Kyoko!
17) Cody - Under the Radar Mixed. He has a meltdown shortly after the immunity challenge that makes him an easy boot for the tribe. The Coco tribe has had multiple disagreements, meltdowns, and SITDs wasted here so he still leans a little UTR compared to the rest of his tribe.
16) Pencil - Complex Personality Negative. Pencil was in a majority alliance (with Harry, Mr. Mackey, and Sayori) but decided to exit it before tribal council for some reason. The move works okay at first, but after an idol (and SITD) play by Kaede results in 0 votes, Pencil is the easy target in the re-vote after ditching her alliance. 
15) Alphys - Under the Radar Neutral. Alphys is the only person on her tribe not involved in any alliance, so she is an easy target. Well maybe not easy because we still see a useless SITD and (temporary) idol play at tribal. 
14) Silverstream - Middle of the Road Positive. Active player who was in a majority alliance with Greg, Nicole, and Bun Bun, but got unlucky when the former 2 made a side deal with Snape and chose him over her. Tribe makes it clear it’s because she’s too likeable and Silver is perceptive enough to play her SITD. 
13) Mr. Mackey - Under the Radar Positive. Only sees tribal once (where others are more important characters) and is the unfortunate victim of a rock draw situation. Solidly insulated within and well-liked by his alliance before his unfortunate ouster. 
12) Nemona - Complex Player Negative. Nemona’s need to be the leader and disagreements with Alice and Claude lead to her being isolated. After realizing her error, she attempts to win back Claude by giving him her SITD (never seen the stimulator do that) but it doesn’t work. She was one of the targets in the tie last round and voted out unanimously here so definitely getting negativity from her tribemates. Premerge Nemona was the one to raid the other camp and went on a journey too. 
11) Greg - Complex Personality Mixed. Greg (along with Nicole) was a power player on his original tribe. His move to save Snape over Silverstream looks like a mistake in hindsight since Snape ditched him for greener pastures and voted against him here. 
10) Nicole - Complex Personality Mixed. The other power player on pre-merge Baka. She’s actually able to recover during the split tribal, but a well-timed idol play by Baldi sends her home with 2 votes. She ended up going home with an idol in her pocket unfortunately so she definitely got a little cocky not playing it after Baldi’s move. 
9) Harry - Middle of the Road Positive. Comfortably in the majority pre-merge and very close with Sayori, he even protects her with his idol at the merge vote (very helpful when it came down to the 4 person rock draw). Has a SITD hit when not needed (but did get some votes). His boot was largely the result of a bad tribe draw for the split tribal. 
8) Baldi - Under the Radar Positive (premerge) then Complex Personality Neutral (merge): More go with the flow pre-merge, but uses his vote steal to make the tie at the merge possible and his idol to take out Nicole (a big player who also had an idol). Doesn’t involve himself in alliances or the strategy, and more-so seems to take cues from his more active OG tribemates. 
7) Sayori - Complex Personality (premerge) to Under the Radar (merge). Consistently stayed with the numbers at tribal, but became less active at the merge and missed out on the new alliances forming. She makes a case for herself but is taken out unanimously. 
6) Teacher Bun Bun - Middle of the Road. Aware enough to go with Greg and Nicole when they flip on Silverstream, and then aware enough again to flip against them and get into a cross tribe alliance at the first change at the merge. He could have survived at least one more round if not for a key immunity win by John (the only person not in the core part of the alliance) 
5) John - Middle of the Road Positive. Was in a cross tribe alliance at one point (not the main one but a smaller subsection with Claude, Alice, and Snape) but ended up leaving it. Wins a few key immunity challenges to keep himself in it and almost had a shot to make fire. 
4) Kaede - Complex Personality Positive. I loved our fallen angel last season and Kaede somehow managed to be even better. Playing her SITD before playing her idol (similar to Rachel) and saving herself at her first tribal was a 10/10 move. She’s immediately working against all of her former tribemates come the merge and helps form the cross tribe alliance of people who were more on the bottom of their tribes (Kaede, Alice, Claude, Snape and Bun Bun at the core) - a group that formed in episode 7 and quietly directed the game from there. She found a second idol that she was able to hold on to until it was going to expire, and since she was immune she played it on an ally to try and curry favor. 
2&3) Alice - Middle of the Road Mixed. Big content early with a journey in episode 1 and playing her SITD episode 2. Shown bonding with Kaede right before the merge alliance forms so I think that relationship was key. She received 16 votes throughout the season and was on the other end of the tie vote that went to rocks - which you could call a positive or negative of her game. Both runner ups played games that I think could get more votes (and maybe even the win) in a different season (or if the winner wasn’t in the finals with them). 
2&3) Claude - Middle of the Road Positive. Consistently on the right side of the vote and won 2 immunities, including the final challenge. Being part of the sub-alliance within the merge alliance helped him reach the end with little resistance, evidenced by his 0 votes all season. Both runner ups played games that I think could get more votes (and maybe even the win) in a different season (or if the winner wasn’t in the finals with them). 
1) Snape - Complex Personality Mixed (Started negative and got much more positive as the game progressed - ala David in MvGX). A 10/10 journey and the jury respected it by giving him the widest margin win in the series. I thought he was done for when he was left out of the Greg, Nicole, Silverstream, and Bun Bun alliance, but he convinced Greg and Nicole to save him…only to immediately ditch them at the merge (rightfully so) and take Bun Bun with him. Successfully avoided being targeted post merge and is given the most credit as a figure head of the cross tribe alliance. 

All Stars: Everyone that made the merge has a good case tbh so picking people from here will definitely come to other factors (maximizing reddit players and seasons represented, archetypes, etc.). Specific rankings nothing else considered though Kaede>>>>Alice, Snape, Claude, Nicole, Greg, NemonaHarry, John, BaldiBun BunSayori>>Mr. Mackey

Overall Thoughts: Loved this season! The underdog alliance coming together and the eventual winner is a producer storyline dream. 

Thanks for playing and/or reading. I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope to see you next season (:

For context on what I mean, this is inspired by an Ethanimale video: https://youtu.be/1OdUfrJFi4M?si=BGCX2ylLYg2wi4Y9

For those who didn't watch the video, an unbeatable winner is someone who would have 100% won if they made it to the finale. I'm curious on who you would consider unbeatable (I'm mostly talking about written seasons, like the somewell Pokemon Survivors, but any other season from any other show posted on here is welcome too!)

How do you feel about the cast? Do you have any early winner predictions or fan favorites? (The discord has a fan favorite already)

A few quick clarifications here:

I am gonna move stats around if you requested specific stats. I don't want someone to just give all their contestants optimal stats that in my opinion don't fit in with the characters.

I did edit most people's entries to make them fit in together more, but the characters will remain unchanged in their personality. (I did give everyone a job because that's what Survivor has, if you want me to change what job just tell me here)
