Board Thread:Season Rankings/@comment-24584422-20180611085656

This is the SFW Canon Survivor Rankdown, featuring 6 rankers- myself, Marie, Uke, JT, Hudson, and Tozza. We will be collaborating to create a ranking of every Survivor contestant ever.

Here's how it works:

-Each round one of the rankers will post a list of ten nominations (the order each "cycle" being determined by random.org)

-Survivors with multiple appearances count separately for each appearance, refer to them by season number or name. E.g. Rob Mariano (S4), Rob Mariano (S8), Rob Mariano (S20), Rob Mariano (S22) OR Kelly Wiglesworth (Borneo), Kelly Wiglesworth (Cambodia) are both acceptable.

-The remaining 5 rankers will cut one of the nominations and save another. The cut must be accompanied by a writeup of approximately 100 words on that Survivor contestant. It can be a reason for the cut, a hateful rant, a stan post, or whatever, so long as it is relevant to that Survivor's appearance.

-A saved Survivor may not appear in the next ranker's nominations. For example, if Uke saves Christina Cha in Tozza's nomination round and Marie is the next to nominate, Marie may not nominate Christina.

-There are two special powers each ranker may exercise once over the rankdown before the top 50- detailed below.

-The process repeats for each of the six rankers- once this is done this constitutes what is called "one cycle." For a new cycle the order will be reset by random.org.

-There is one, as of yet, undisclosed twist which will be explained in due course.

-There is no specific time limit to post cuts/saves, or nominations but aim for a 24 hour period from the last action to keep the rankdown progressing.

-The two powers are as follows: -Tribal Immunity: A ranker may (before the next set of nominations) save an entire tribe's worth of contestants for the cycle. A merged tribe does not count as a tribe for the purpose of this power. For tribes that have multiple iterations, use the .number format to specify which iteration you are saving (Casaya 1.0- the tribe of Cirie, Melinda, Tina, Ruth Marie as opposed to Casaya 2.0- the tribe of Shane, Courtney and all those fun psychotics) For example, if I decide I would like to save Matsing, I would post before nominations "Tribal Immunity- Matsing" and Denise, Malcolm (S25), Russell Swan (S25), Angie, Roxy, and Zane would all be safe until the next cycle. You may use it at any point during a cycle but it does not carry over. So if you use this power on the last set of nominations it will only count for 1 round versus using it in the first set where you can save the tribe for six rounds).

-Steal a Vote: A ranker may (after a set of nominations are posted) steal another ranker's cut and save for that round only, and make 2 cuts and 2 saves themselves. For example, if JT steals Hudson's vote on Rob's nominations, then JT makes 2 cuts (with writeups) and 2 saves, and Hudson makes zero saves or cuts for that round.

-Finally, keep things respectful. This is meant to be fun. By all means make backroom deals, justrategic nominations, and petty revenge cuts to cause ~drama. But we want fun drama, not drama where people's feelings get hurt.

I was keeping things simple and small for the first rankdown, but if you have ideas for future rankdowns or are interested in participating in or hosting a future rankdown, please feel free to contact me :D Otherwise, add your commentary as we go, we'd love an audience for this.

-Rankers, if you have any questions- ask me in the gmail chat so we all know the answer. Any backroom deals, PM me, I'm always open to them ;)

The Cycle 1 nomination order is as follows

1. Tozza
