Welcome to Whoosh Island Survivor. A game where you outbrag outdare and outpity your opponents on your way to a million dollars! OK so maybe a million virtual dollars but you get the idea.
I am your host Scrappy Probst. I will be leading the challenges and making sure everyone plays fairly (bribery accepted).
While we are waiting on the helicopter to take you to your camps let's get to know everyone. Please introduce yourself tell us what you do for a living, and tell us what you've decided to bring along as your one personal item. Also each of you needs to pick your own tribe name.
Once the niceties are over, I will reveal the location and present the first challenge.
GOOD LUCK!

Hello. My name is Phalon, and I admit it, I have a problem.
What? This is not the weekly Caffiend's Anonymus meeting? You're sure? Damn.
Ok, then. I am Mom, hear me roar. What better qualification than the title of "Mom" to enable me to outbrag, outdare, and outpity my worthy opponents? I've studied for years the greatest, most extensive survival guide ever written, "The Mom's Handbook". I learned every subversive tactic in the book that the enemy.....er...children, might throw at me, and what works best in a counter-attack. I was going to bring it along for reference as my one item from home, but it exceeded the 10 x 10 x 5 size limit...and for the safety of my fellow Survivors, I didn't want the weight of it to drag down the helicopter. But beware - it's been committed to memory.
Instead, as my item from home, I bring a deluxe manicure set in a 10 x 10 x 5 air-tight, water-proof, bullet-proof, tamper-proof, fool-proof case made from a indestructible space-age plastic which also can be used as a floatation device in the unlucky event that the helicopter crashes.
My tribe's name is Tohellnback.

Welcome ladies!
Sounds like you both will be formidable opponants! Now where's that boy gotten to again? You ladies didn't tie him up somewhere did you?

Now where's that boy gotten to again? That "boy" what have we got another player that I don't know about.  Alright let's get this over and done with ...................... G'day everyone, my name is Katina but don't let that fool ya, I'm actually of the male persuasion. A quick resume; I'm a jetsetting playboy with homes in several countries, a penchant for fast cars, fast boats and fast ........ well I won't go there. Above average in looks, well way above average to be honest, my hobbies are skiing [ near my home in Aspen ] white water rafting [ near my home in Colorado ] and Croc hunting [ near my home in Alice Springs ] and fast ........... well I won't go there. Probably my two main attributes [ of many ] are honesty and modesty. Favourite film ..... "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" Favourite song ..... "You're so Vain" by Carly Simon. Favourite person in history ........ well I see him every morning in the mirror when I shave. Okay, I "may" have distorted the facts just a tad there, but ya gotta admit it sounds better then "the old git who sits in front of his computer to much." The one item I'll bring, arrived at after much soul searching and procrastination, is my waterproof digital watch; well I don't actually have a waterproof digital watch but I'll buy one especially for the occasion. My tribes name, arrived at after further soul searching and procrastination is ...................... Carnivore. |

OK looks like we've all been introduced. Let's recap: We have a lovely young lady who's magic bored powers can conjure anything in the blink of an eye. A scary Mom type who has eyes in the back of her head. And our resident worldly playboy whose charm and wit might just get him the advantage. The helicopter has arrived and so now it's time for the reveal. Welcome to Whoosh Survivor Island! That's right....Antarctica. Land of Ice and Penguins! You have until Tuesday morning to build your camp and get settled in. On Tuesday morning I'll reveal your first reward challenge. Expect penguin mail monday night. GOOD LUCK! P.S. This thread should be used for your questions or complaints or your confessionals (you know when you go sneak off behind a snow bank and complain about so and so etc). |

.quote { color: #000000; background-color: #000000; }
Did you want the quotes to be hidden? If so, then I'm down with that. If not, one of these needs a different color code. Yes?
Edit: Okay ... is the code box the same as the quote box, or do I need to find another section of the code? 
Edit 2: Never mind I found it. I'm assuming you wanted it this way for a reason, so I'll leave it as is until you say otherwise.
.quote { color: #000000; background-color: #000000; }
.code { font-family: Courier New; color: #000000; background-color: #000000; } |
