Before we get started, first a little history behind the game.
This game was originally called "Ultimate Game Show Host Survivor" and it was played at some forum that talks about game shows. A friend of mine on an Iron Chef forum took the concept and adapted it to become the "Ultimate Iron Chef Survivor." That game lasted ten literations. I later adapted it still and took it to other message boards that are willing to play the game just as I hope that you are willing to do.
One thing to mention, just to head off any questions, I will not include any character that made multiple appearances that has only a single name(i.e. Biggs, Wedge, and Mog to name three). I will, however, include character names that has appeared in multiple games that has some way of telling them apart (i.e. Regent Cid in Final Fantasy IX, Cid Chere in Final Fantasy VI and Cid Kramer in Final Fantasy VIII are three of them.)
To get things started, here are 26 potential candidates that consist of behind the scenes people and in game characters that are competing to become the first Ultimate Final Fantasy Survivor:
1. Edgar Roni Figaro
2. Cloud Strife
3. Zell Dincht
4. Judge Gabranth
5. Balthier
6. Hironobu Sakaguchi
7. Kefka Palazzo
8. Setzer Gabbiani
9. Leo Cristophe
10. Cid Fabool IX
11. Nobuo Uematsu
12. Hiroyuki Itou
13. Lighting
14. Locke Cole
15. Ultimecia
16. Kain Highwind
17. Sabin Rene Figaro
18. Snow Villiers
19. Squall Leonheart
20. Maduin
21. Yoshinori Kitase
22. Fran
23. Zidane Tribal
24. Cid Kramer
25. Kenji Terada
26. ExDeath
Impressive, no? You know what would be better to top this list off? Rules to make sure this runs smoothly. Here they are. First to clarify some potential rules confusion from the onset, let me define two cricital terms:
Player - A person/character on the list.
Voter - That's you, the poster.
1. Five votes will eliminate a player, however I will add one for every five eliminations that we get to until we reach 8 votes.
2. One vote for every update. I will attempt to update at or around 12 AM EST or EDT. If I update early, you may vote again.
3. Any voter who has voted correctly eight or more times may Seek Revenge ONE time on behalf of a player. With your Seek Revenge, you may bring back any of the last five players, provided that they are eliminated within the last three days they were voted out, and no player or voter may Seek Revenge more than once. This feature will become null and void when we reach the final five.
4. You may vote for a player up to seven times, but you may not vote someone off by yourself. You also can not vote on someone in four consecutive days or four out of five days. If a player is brought back via Seek Revenge, you may vote for him another seven times, but the above rules apply.
5. The Sudden Death option works the opposite of Seek Revenge. You state that you want a player to face Sudden Death and everyone votes the next day on whether or not s/he is eliminated. Majority rules, and a 50-50 tie will always go in favor of the player. No player may face Sudden Death more than once. If a player is brought back via Seek Revenge, then he or she MUST be voted off the old-fashioned way. There can be no more than three Sudden Deaths at a time.
6. A Freeze Frame can be used up to two times on any player (and only two times, even if someone has been brought back via Seek Revenge). A player protected by Freeze Frame cannot have a vote cast on him or her and will start the second a voter requests that one is used. Freeze Frames will expire in three days (on the third update, so nobody grasps straws over what minute). They cannot be used if a player is either facing or is nominated for Sudden Death. Freeze Frames cannot stack, so one needs to expire first before another one can be used. Freeze Frames become null and void if there are not at least five players left to vote for. A player must have a vote to his name to qualify for a freeze frame.
7. BRE\-/KDOWN can be used one time per player. When used, this will allow four votes to be subtracted from the player's total (and cannot put a player at zero or in the red). This may be used in conjunction and/or during a Freeze Frame (but not if it sends a player to negative votes in the process), but it will not affect Sudden Death voting. This feature may be used a second time if a player has been brought back via Seek Revenge. This feature will be null and void when we reach five players.
8. You may nominate a player for a 10-Spot the same way you nominate a player for Sudden Death. If the majority of people agree, the nominated player will require ten votes to be eliminated. 10-Spots can be used with any other feature except for the fact that you cannot nominate a host for both a 10-Spot and Sudden Death on the same day. (You can still nominate a 10-Spotted player for Sudden Death later on in the game, if you so choose.) Please, no more than three 10-Spot nominations in a day. All 10-Spots will expire when we are down to the final two. Also, no more than six players can be protected at any time by the 10-Spot. A tie vote will not net a player a ten spot.
Let's get down to business with the first vote going to ExDeath.
