SFC4 Notes About the Finale

General Stuff
Well, SFC4 is done, and I hope I didn’t completely alter their personalities for the owners of the characters, I hope I got them fairly close.

The Winner
Let me talk about Barney some. I chose him to be the winner because he met a lot of requirements I was looking for in a winner this time. I was looking for a Challenge threat to win this time (Since none of the past 3 were very good at Challenges). I also needed someone who would have an interesting dynamic with their canon character, and Lilly was an interesting enough character to work with.
Concerning Barney and Lilly, a constant theme in the season was they hated each other, but neither would have made it to the end on their own. They were saved directly or indirectly by the other
Ep. 7: Barney saves Lilly, obviously
Ep.8: Since Lilly stayed, she found the idol, which caused Marc to target Bulma instead of the Physical threat
Ep 9: Barney would have been out here by a normal 5-4 vote, or would have been taken out by the idol if Lilly was gone. Since Lilly took the fake Idol from him
Ep 12: Lilly saves Barney, completing the circle

The only problem with Barney was I knew he would be the fastest pegged winner (Ellise and Montana were meant to pop up on peoples radar at F7-8, and Sky was hidden until the F3). While I felt Barney could be identified as the winner easily in the premerger. So in the post merge time, I did everything I could to get him off peoples radars, it was weird but making him being a super obvious winner was a great way for people to discount him I heard “Too Obvious to Win” a lot, which I think worked pretty well until Chaona, who was the main competition for him left, which by then I was expecting it to be obvious he would win. (Which is why I didn’t make the vote close)

In the planning I knew Barney wouldn’t be a super fan favorite like Montana or Hogan, but I wanted the general opinion of him to be one that isn’t real OTTP, but still a likable character that would be an acceptable winner. I realize there may be some dislike for him because he won instead of one of the snarky OTT girls like Minerva, Lilly, and Kala. But I need variety in winners, and Barney was way different from the rest. The reason I didn’t make Barney an Over the Top Crazy character was because that wasn’t how he was described as. I don’t think it would be good to completely alter someone’s own character to make them super funny. (Although Barney did have his moments).

The Runner Up
For as little he was shown. Luke practically dominated the game after the merge due to being Luke.
All the people voted off because of Luke; Jez, Bulma, Marc, Joe, Kala, and Lilly
Luke was one of those characters that didn’t need to be shown for him to have his presence seen and noticed, which is why he treaded on the UTR area for almost the whole game. And BTW in the start he used the word Knave, I know it was the wrong term, but it was what was told to me. In my opinion Luke’s story was a successful story, just not a winning story. I’m also surprised like I was with Alex with how much late game support Luke got.
The Jury Votes
Marc- Voted for Barney because he was a little angry at Luke, and he felt Barney played a better game
Joe- Barney played a better game
Knux- Saw Luke as a pure follower
Kala- May not have liked Barney, but he did plead his case at the FTC
Minerva- Barney made Lilly’s life hell
P. Bear- No one knows what he thinks
Chaona- Barney was a close friend
Lilly- Hated Barney, but they were allies


The Canons
I think it was clear from the start that none of the Canons would win, but I still liked pulling the wool over your eyes, with that. Fans vs Favorites? Ha! You’ll have to wait for Season 6 for All Stars. One interesting thing I didn’t notice until I started posting was there was something interesting about the first four boots. The canons that I didn’t pick from the applications, didn’t make the switch together as a duo. Sephiroth and Shiki weren’t chosen, and Pikachao (Ella) and Roaltyx (Jez) didn’t put down Bulma and P. Bear for their canons. But when I was doing a rough sketch of the season I had the types I wanted, and I had several other candidates from each season
The Tough Villain that leaves Ep 1: Sephrioth, Wesker, Shadow, Owen (Although wouldn’t be a villain)
The Quiet Early Boot Girl: Shiki, Kairi, Cream
Rebecca was an automatic lock due to Julia and me needing all the girl characters I could get.
The Med Evac: Trent, Cody
The Useless Girl: Bulma, Rouge, Lindsay
The Alpha: Riku, Cloud, Duncan, Sonic
The Idiot: Knuckles, Goofy,
The Villain: Minerva, Heather
Over The Top Guy: P. Bear. Sonic,
Lilly was also a lock.

SFC5
So far I am at Episode 7, and won’t start posting until I get a few jurors seated, so it may be a while, but HOPEFULLY before Samoa starts.
Things to come in it:
- A Massive twist that affects the game from Day 1 to Day 39
- A Very Interesting cast of 17 Fans
- Some of the best Hero and Villain characters in SFC
- And of course blindsides

Again if there was anything that I havent answered, please ask.

SFC3 Notes

Well Survivor Fan Characters 3 is over, and I am really glad with how it turned out, and I hope you all liked it, and Thank You again for reading it all.

The Sole Survivor.
After 2 seasons of the master player winning I wanted a winner who did not have any power. For Sky and Ellise there were certain things that they did to show that they would win, however for Montana it was what she DIDN’T do that made her win.

-She never once was in power or in control of the game.
-She never joined Baxter’s alliance, which was the kiss of death, and anyone who aligned with him would not win
-She never once acknowledged Marty’s lie every other person at the Merge had at some point said something that showed they fell for it.
-She was the ONLY one not to get the car in the Car Challenge, which as a Survivor fan would know, if you get a car, you don’t win the game.

Also I wanted to make Montana a likable Mary like Character, I put her and Hope on Pambar so that you would think Montana would be the mean bitch that picked on sweetheart Hope, and in fact those roles were reversed. My goal with Montana was to make sure there was an “I like her, but she can’t win” opinion of her for a good majority of the game.

The Runner Ups.
With a winner like Montana, I needed this to be a story of how somebody lost, and I chose Baxter to be the Final 2 loser of the season. I wanted it to be clear of how Baxter worked, and what he did to lose.

Usually it is an Under the Radar Player that wins in this type of Scenario (Amber, Danni, Bob) and I had planned on Beth being the original winner, and Monty being take out by Baxter’s Idol at the Final 6, then Violet would lose the F5 Immunity and get booted, then Spade would be fourth for not shaking up the game when he could. But then I realized Beth was Freaking Boring and rewrote the story switching their roles, and editing the story so Monty would win.
Baxter has been the most visible player I have written for, he had 90 confessionals in the whole season, and Montana was 2nd with 62. Like Montana, I wanted Baxter to be assumed as the young athletic Immunity guy, so I liked the gradual realization that he was not the hero, but the main villain.

Now Alex, he was a filler character, one of the ones I made and had no idea where he would land. In the very early drafts he was a thin boy with normal eyes and not stuttering, and he was an early boot. I knew very early on I wanted a tie at the Final Tribal Council, and I needed a minor character who didn’t do much to be 3rd place, and that is when Alex became Baxter’s sidekick.

The Underdog Alliance of Monty, “N”, and Violet
Another thing I wanted this season was an alliance full of the 3 more popular players at the time, and they worked well together. And I wanted them to all get in an alliance at the merge, and suddenly crash and burn after the First Tribal Council, and I wanted the reaction of “Fuck the 3 best players are now going back to back.” That’s where Baxter came in, sacrificing the Idiot and the Psycho, and have the alliance that was doomed to place 9th-7th ended up getting 2 of its members in the Final 4.

Marty’s Lie
One of the Unpopular notes in the Series (Although it made Marty’s fall so much better). IF it had worked this is how Marty planned on his lie to work.
-Day 6; Cue is revealed and Yoshia goes.
-Pre Merge; Keep Surviving all the boots and make it to the Top 10
-Day 21; NOT GET DRUNK, let Beth get voted out
-Day 24; Let Baxter betray Issac, but keep Hope for numbers
-Day 27-33; Underdog alliance is Pagonged
-Day 36; Hope would most likely go as being a loose canon
-Then at the Final 4 his twist would have run out, and they would be free to vote him out, which Baxter, Alex, and Spade may do to make it to the Final 3. OR, and this is the Crucial Part of the Lie, Alex and Baxter vote Spade out at 4 due to Marty having Immunity or another reason, thinking that due to the Twist and Marty not being able to win, it would technically be a Final 2
-Then at the Final Tribal Council, admit the lie, and hope that the Jury can look at how the twist worked and let him win.

Survivor Fan Characters 4!
It is going good in production so far (Ep7), a lot of interesting events are happening and a bunch of characters emerging. Some things to look Foreword to;
-20 People, 10 Fans vs 10 Challengers
-Exile Island where someone from each tribe goes.
-Erik and Iris pass the Crown on for the Biggest Blunder Ever
-Record number of Blindsides
-Jeff Probst’s New Sprites

If there is anything about SFC3 that I didn’t answer or that you want to know (Since there is no secret anymore), ask it, I’ll answer all of them as soon as I can.

Bunch of Stuffs

SFC3 has finally reached the merge; AKA Now the game is really on. One thing that I made sure to fix from last season was have more big characters make the merge. Last season Mary, Bitsy, and Vinnie were the only real standout characters that made it, and it took a while for the rest to take off story wise. This time however I feel that about 7-8 of the 10 remaining are standouts in their own way.

I am going to be heading for Wisconsin soon, and I will be there for the week. I am carrying a Flash Drive with me that have the comics for the time there on it, so I will be able to update. They may however be uploaded a little later than normal, due to possible time zone changes and a weird schedule. (A little weird thing to note, I went to Wisconsin this summer as well, and during my week up there I was posting the merge episode as well). Since I will only have a laptop I probably wont be as active in the next week as I would like to be, but I’ll try and stay caught up.

As for SFC4, I have already contacted the people who I will be using in season 4, but there were some applications that were still very good, and didn’t make it in this season due to some untold events that will happen.
For the ones that weren’t chosen, if it is okay with you, I would like to keep you applications so I could use them in later seasons where I know they would work. Also if you missed the deadline for this one you can send it in and I will have no problem with it.

Survivor Fan Characters 4

What is You Fan Characters Name? Sky
What series are they from? Sly Cooper
Can you show me a picture of what they look like. If not give a REALLY GOOD Description.[link] to image
What about their personality? Sky is very cocky, he uses his childish appearance to his advantage and to get others to trust him and treat him as a younger sibling, he is loyal, but won’t hesitate to turn on someone who went against him.
Who would be the type of person they would align with? People with similar traits as him, roughly the same age range. People he could use to advance himself in the game.
What type of people would they avoid? Other Cocky people, and others who think too much of themselves.
What about Physical skills? Sky is very weak, will be a target pre merge for that reason, he is quick on his feet, but that is all he can do.
Now in case your Fan Character makes the Challenge with visitors from their series;

Anything else worth mentioning about the Fan character?Tends to do things for his own amusement at the expense of others.
Of the Two Seasons who have been your favorite Survivor?
I’ll let you answer that on your own, although this one is optional, and won’t affect if you get chosen or not.


Some tips;
Be as detailed as possible, I need to know about your Fan Character in order to write for them
I am fully expecting Sonic Fan Characters, however I am only accepting one Fan Character per series, so you would have a greater chance of choosing another character from a different series
The Deadline for when you can turn these in will be Semptember 18th

Survivor Fan Characters Extra's

- First off Thank You to everyone who read this series.

I knew the winner from the start of the comic, the only thing I wish I did deffently with it was give the winner a little bit more screentime in the first episode.

The only things that switched were Charlie and Merideth. Merideth was originally supposed to be on Drazen and end up in the Final 2. While Charlie at first, would be the first to fall in the Schlipan alliance.

The Fake Hidden Immunity Idol was there from the start, I wanted to make it subtle, I was pleasantly surprised that many of you caught it.

A little intesting tidbit, Craig had the least confessionals out of all the Final 10, even Pat. While Hogan had the most with Sky in a close second.

In case you wanted to know why the Jurors wanted to know the way they did, I'll explain.
Wendy voted Charlie because of their Drazen bond
Merideth voted Skylar becase she respected his gameplay
Rene's vote was explained
Craig voted for Charlie because she sucked up to him in the last Tribal Council
Hugo should have been obvious
Taylor voted Sky for his friendship, and was still bitter at Charlie
Hogan voted Sky for being partners for the whole game, and liking his gameplay.

I am in the early stages of Survivor Fan Characters 2 "Brains vs. Brawn", 17 of the castaways have been sprited, it should be a while til I start posting the comic, I need to make several comics in advance so I can post them daily like I did this season. Expect it to start Mid March to Early April.

If you have any questions that I didn't adress, please ask, and I will resond.

23 Dec 2007 02:15 am

The Merge has come!

Now the game shifts from Tribe against Tribe to Everyone against Everyone.

- Will The Drazens be able to survive, or will they be Pagonged?

- How will the Hidden Immunity Idol affect the game, and will it be used?

- Which 2 Survivors will make it to end and Face The Jury? And Who will win the Title of Sole Survivor?
