What is this contest?

This is Jetpunk Survivor! Obviously, this contest is based off of the reality show Survivor. Jetpunk users will be able to compete in challenges, and those who lose have to vote each other out. If you get voted out, you are eliminated! Whoever wins the final vote at the end wins a prize! (I'm still deciding what that prize is.)

How to Sign Up

To sign up, simply say "I want to join" or something similar in the comment section. Anyone is willing to join this competition! I will accept all who sign up before the deadline on Saturday, October 21, by 11:59PM Pacific time. I will divide all the users who sign up into two "tribes." Those tribes will compete in various challenges. The tribe that loses the challenge must vote out a member. Whoever receives the most votes is eliminated.

The first challenge will be announced on Sunday, October 22.

Rules

1. Sign up before Saturday, October 21, 11:59PM Pacific time.

2. No alts. I will find out about it eventually if you do use them.

3. I will assign the teams randomly, do not beg to be on the same team as your friends.

4. Keep your eyes peeled for Jetpunk Survivor #1, where the first challenge will be announced on Sunday, October 22!

U.S. States Viewer Voting- Update

U.S. States Viewer Voting #12 is currently being worked on right now! I know I said it was going to come out on Monday, but then something came up on the weekend, and so I didn't finish it. I need a couple tips of advice as to where this series should go. After the next elimination, there will be 36 contestants. I am thinking of changing up the teams so that they're not based solely on alphabetical order. How should these contestants be divided?

-2 teams of 18

3 teams of 12

-4 teams of 9

-6 teams of 6

-9 teams of 4

-12 teams of 3

-18 teams of 2

There's also the five missing Western states, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, and Colorado. They're currently searching for the eliminated contestants, but they've been absent for a couple challenges now, and I don't know what to do with them now? Should they find the eliminated contestants or give up and return to the challenge? Write your suggestions in the comments!

Thank you for your continued support for this series! I appreciate it! See you guys soon!

Sure, I’ll sign up. Wouldn’t necessarily recommend juggling two series’s though, but you do you.

I think the missing states should stumble upon Canada.

Level 66

Oct 17, 2023

I agree.

Level 63

Oct 17, 2023

I sign up, why not. But what is alts? I can't understand this

Level 66

Oct 17, 2023

Using alternate accounts, so people will not attempt to use alternate accounts to fill spots and last longer in the game.

Level 63

Oct 19, 2023

Yeah, like if you had five alts and you got them all in, you'd have a way higher chance of winning

I actually had this idea to do on my old account, but more alike to the popular cartoon Total Drama Island. Of course, then, there was a lot more blog interaction and active bloggers, so I'm not sure why I never actually did it.

I love the idea, but perhaps it would be more prudent to wait until after the US State Vote series is over. I know from personal experience from previous blogging accounts that when I tried to juggle 4 or 5 series at once, it was very difficult and it messed up my posting schedule. I used to post daily blogs (and set a JetPunk record for doing so) but due to taking on more than I could handle I was inconsistent in posting and eventually it became work rather than fun.

Are you ever gonna finish JetPunger Games?

Also, how will people vote? Just in the comments? I see a major issue with that; voting in Survivor is private. Leaving votes public in the comments will influence others' votes and instill bias.

Nevertheless, I'd be glad to participate.

Level 60

Oct 18, 2023

Very true, perhaps a Google Forms?

Level 45

Oct 18, 2023

I'll look into it, see how I can make voting private. Thanks for the feedback!

Level 45

Oct 18, 2023

Okay. I have invited you three to two different Jetpunk groups:

1. Contestants-All

This is where all contestants of the game can communicate with each other.

2. Private chat- (Your username)

This is where you tell me who you want to vote for when you are going to vote.

Level 20

Oct 18, 2023

I would like to join as well.

Level 45

Oct 18, 2023

Thanks for joining! You have been invited to two Jetpunk groups.

Level 68

Oct 18, 2023

i want to join

Level 34

Oct 18, 2023

I'd love to sign up!

Level 34

Oct 18, 2023

Oh and will you make another group for our specific "Tribes" or nah?

Level 45

Oct 18, 2023

I'll choose the tribes first, then make them.

Level 54

Oct 18, 2023

i also want to join

Level 59

Oct 18, 2023

Yeah, I think I'll join. What sorts of challenges will there be?

Level 83

Oct 18, 2023

This sounds like fun. I would join, if there's room.

Level 64

I'll join

Level 71

I’ll sign up!

Level 68

Oct 18, 2023

When will you invite everyone else who has already signed up

Level 45

Oct 18, 2023

I'll do that right now.

Level 45

Oct 18, 2023

The tribes will be assigned based on the order in which you guys signed up. Here is the current order of contestants:

1. MiecraftMan

2. Kingsfisher

3. Nickelz

4. Rockum99

5. KilwaAfarCheese8

6. Nazgul

7. Jetpunker180

8. Insaniot

9. Mindwax

10. superquizzer

11. Jato

Odd numbers will be on the "Kasayahan" tribe. Kasayahan means "happiness" in Tagalog, the language of the Philippines. Many of the Survivor seasons take place in the Philippines, so Jetpunk Survivor will take place there as well.

Even numbers will be on the "Pamilya" tribe. Pamilya means "family" in Tagalog.

With that said, here are the tribes:

Kasayahan:

MiecraftMan

Nickelz

KilwaAfarCheese8

Jetpunker180

MindWax

Jato

Pamilya:

Kingsfisher

Rockum99

Nazgul

Insaniot

superquizzer

If more people join, I'll add them to this list.

Be mindful that sign-ups are still open until Saturday at 11:59PM.

Update: Jetpunk groups for both tribes have been created.

Level 71

Oct 19, 2023

I guess I'll join

Level 63

Oct 19, 2023

I 'll join, but I'm quite busy. Does this require real-world activities?

Level 45

Oct 20, 2023

What do you mean by real-world activities? Also, the challenges should not be too bad, but if you want to back out, I totally understand. I signed you up for now.

Level 63

Oct 20, 2023

As in, will the challenges be like we do things in the real world (ie cup stacking for instance) or will they be purely in this blog?

Level 45

Oct 22, 2023

Purely in the blog.

Level 63

Oct 22, 2023

Awesome

Level 54

Oct 20, 2023

Way too vague for me to decide to participate, but I wish that participants will have fun.
