User blog:ItsAjNeale/Blog Season 2 - Survivor: Bedarra



Survivor: Bedarra is the second season of AJ's mini blog series, Predictive Text Survivor.

The basis of Predictive Text Survivor is primarily to just have a fun side-project I can work on from time to time, with most of the season being a random.org Survivor season to the extreme. I begun by opening The Sims and randomising fifteen people, then made mangas as close to those people as possible. From there, I randomised their names, randomised an age for them (in a realistic bracket to their appearance), and randomised what tribe they’d each be on. Each interaction that happens will happen when those particular names get randomly drawn to interact with each other, and even the conversations they have will be written through iPhone predictive text, making every part of this randomised. To make conversations not repetitive, I’ll be able to choose the first word in each sentence, which will either be something within the context of the conversation or general words like ‘some’ or ‘how’ to keep things flowing. Additionally, I'll preface each conversation with simple directions that fit the conversation, with this all being in italics. Outside of that the usual random.org randomisations like idol finds, challenge wins, etc. will take place.

Twists

 * State of Origin - The cast will be made up of seven tribes of two, with each tribe having members of a different state/territory of Australia.
 * Tribe Swap - At the final twelve, the tribes will switch from seven tribes to three new tribes.
 * Second Tribe Swap - At the final ten, the tribes will switch from three tribes to two new tribes.
 * Hidden Immunity Idols - Standard idol rules from the US version of the show apply. They can be played before and including the Final 5.

'Confessional' Count
''Due to the nature of these episodes, there aren't actual confessionals, so this is merely a count of how many scenes each character was in for each episode (despite scene appearances being randomised). The first two episodes also aren't particularly useful information, given everybody was involved in one scene each unless they went to tribal or found an idol, but oh well, here we are anyway.''

Edgic
Didn't work out for me too well last season (what a shock, I couldn't predict a literally randomised series of events), but maybe this is the time to get it right.
