Welcome, vassals of the venerable Bowser!
From your humble beginnings, there is much to aspire to. You toil away in the Well-Defended Castle Floating Among Glowing Clouds, working as hard as you can to support your kingdom.
But as the old adage goes, when the Boss is away, the minions play!
You heard through the pipe that the Mushroom Kingdom is hosting a contest for only the bravest among you. A contest to find a **Superstar!**
It consists of a series of contests, designed to determine who is most worthy of the title. Of course in the spirit of the Mushroom Kingdom, it is themed as a party (why would it not, after all)!
You follow your shift leaders to the site of the first round of challenges, Castaway Bay.
As you sail in, you look left, and look right, gazing at your fellow partiers. The determination set on their faces. Becoming a Superstar is something that promises fun and riches for the rest of your life.
Ready to compete and party with those you know, and those you don't...
It's time to kick off the Mario Party!
This year, yet again, we plan to find the undisputed best Survivor player on Smogon. This is an 81(maybe!) player Survivor game that should finish in just under 3 months. As such with Survivor being adapted to such a large cast size, it will be a hard fought battle from beginning to end.
You'll navigate twists familiar and unfamiliar, and find advantages and idols. You will form and break alliances, and hopefully make a few friends along the way as well. Over the course of the next three months, 1 player will outlast 80 other highly capable and talented competitors. That player will be our winner and win the Smogon sitewide banner ”Sole Survivor”!
It will be a more twist-heavy game than a typical Survivor game (especially during the earlier phases), that will reward adaptive gameplay and strong social skills. For those of you who haven’t played Bigvivor (or me/Hal games before), I recommend looking at the previous game server (because I didn't delete it): https://discord.gg/56CW75azBq
Due to the nature of the game, we encourage applicants to have experience with Survivor specifically.
If you want to help host in some capacity (mainly just being around to help monitor things), then dm me on Discord and say you want to. Eliminated players can join the host team too! (Please do this)
If you want to play, join the server. Either post on the thread with your Discord username and tag or message one one of the hosts in the server. The game will be first come-first serve. Applications will close either when 90 people have been reached, at which point new posters will be available as backups. If there are not 81 players by September 20th, at 5PM EST, the gamestart will be postponed depending on how many slots are empty.
You do NOT need a Smogon account to play.
The game is set to start on September 21st, at 7PM ET (which is what the deadline time will likely be)
You can join the server here: https://discord.gg/XbfNXrvUkX
Featuring the talents of: SirFish , kantokiller13 , Hipster Sigilyph , Foolish , SidTheShuckle , Pickles, and most importantly, hottamales23 (and maybe you!)

Who should apply?
You should be mature, and be reachable on discord frequently each day, or be willing to make plans if you need to go AFK. We'll be operating on very strict 24 hour deadlines. As much as I'd love to give room for flexibility, the size of the game restricts our timeframe considerably.
How long will this last?
It depends on how the game goes, but it should be sometime in like 3 months idk do the math.
What should I expect from a 81p survivor game?
You should expect standard mechanics (tribal and individual challenges/immunity). We have gone to great lengths to ensure that at most stages in the game, you feel like you are playing in a regular Survivor game. We will not put you in tribes any larger than you would find on the show or on any other standard Survivor games. I encourage you to think of this as a game that differs in length, rather than in playercount.
Twists will be more uncommon as the player count reduces to a size that is standard for a Survivor game.
When will deadlines be?
7PM ET. Occasionally, we will ask that you be online at that time for an hour or two in order to do live challenges. It will never be necessary, though it may advantage your game if you're able to be online at that time. If the next challenge is live (meaning you have to be on at 7PM ET, then we will tell you so at the beginning of the previous phase so you can prepare. Some challenges may have a semi-live component where you will schedule with another player(s) and we will be lenient as long as an effort is made.
What kind of challenges do you design?
Every challenge in this game is something that I would be willing to play if there was nothing at all at stake. If you want an example of the types of challenges, look through the Bigvivor 3 server.
How do applications work?
Our applications are first come first serve, so long as you meet the loose criteria set above. We will advertise to broader and broader audiences as we get closer to deadline, up until the moment where we fill up on all 81 slots.
What will the banner look like?
It will read "Sole Survivor" in the same color as the other Circus Maximus banners. Unlike banners given out for Mafia or Puzzle Hunts, only one user on the entire site will be able to wear this banner: you.
I have another question!
DM me on discord! You can find me here on Smogon, or you can shoot me a friend request at vizhionop#8734.
