Welcome to Survivor: Tatooine!

Tatooine!

Hot. Desolate. Hot. Remote. Hot. Dangerous. Did I mention that it’s hot?
It is on this forlorn planet far away in the outer rim that 16 contestants will have to match wits with the elements and each other in order to survive.

It is here I call home. My name is…eh…well, to most it is unpronounceable but you can call me J.J. I’ll be your host for the next several weeks as these contestants outplay, outwit and outlast each other to be known as the last survivor and win a million credits.

The contestants may only bring one weapon of choice as well as one luxury item. Otherwise they only have the clothes on their back.

The contestants have been randomly divided into two tribes. The tribe names have been taken from ancient jawa sayings. The first tribe is the Ooteeni tribe. (Ooteeni meaning ‘Holy crap! I’m being eaten by a bloody great Dewback!’) Their buff color (and blog color) will be orange.

The members of the Ooteeni Tribe are:
Anakin: Part-time Jedi, Full time Playa'
Dooku: Tea Toddler
Han: Smuggler
Mace: Youth Councilor
Padmé: Fashion consultant
Siri: Jedi Apprentice
Typho: Security
Yoda: Jedi Master (and master of Jive?)

The second tribe is the Mabbitt tribe. (Mabbitt meaning ‘WTF’) Their buff (and blog color) shall be purple.

The members of the Mabbitt tribe are:
Aayla: Blue Man Group Understudy
Fluke: founder of the New Jedi Order wannabe
Grievous: Vishnu stand-in
Jar Jar: Creator of Frogger
Leia: Princess ...need we say more?
Obi-Wan: Cheeto product tester
Palpatine: Human recourses
Qui-Gon: Brownie buisness guru

The Ooteeni tribe shall start in the desolate area known as the dune sea. There is little shelter here as well as very little food. In fact there’s little of anything out here. Unexpected winds may bring sudden fierce sandstorms at a moments notice.

The Mabbitt tribe starts in Beggar’s Canyon. Also miles from the nearest outpost, this canyon does offer more in the way of shelter from the elements , but the canyon has more in the way of danger. Wandering tribes of Tusken raiders roam the canyon and may raid the contestants and cause harm to them.

Both tribes will have one small well where they will have access to water, but beyond that they will have to make due with making, finding or eating anything else.

Tuesday there will be rock-mail. (It would have been tree mail but seeing as there are no trees…) This will instruct the tribes of the week’s challenges along with what the reward is for the winners. Tribal council for the losers.

I will then post on Fridays opening up tribal council and the vote to commence. You will have up to three days to vote. If you do not vote within those three days, you will have forfeited your chance to vote for that week. I will then read the votes as soon as everyone has submitted one. That person will then be asked to leave the game. They can, of course, post a farewell message.

Post as often as you like but at least once a week. Any questions?

Alright. You may now leave with your tribe members to your respective starting points.

Good luck. …you’re gonna need it.
