Due Date:

Apps will be due Tuesday April 19th @ 1:30 PM PST. Refer to the link below to see where that is in your own timezone.

Below is the app for anyone that didn't notice or hasn't started to fill it out yet. Only one person can occupy a song for the demo round so it's probably best to get these in ASAP.

1. Tell the panel a little about yourself.
Introduce yourself. What are you like? What qualities do you like about yourself? Just a short intro into your personality, since social clashes are a big part of Survivor gameplay.

2. What makes you want to play this game?
This is where you praise everything about my tournament. Just kidding. What makes you want to play this season of Survivor? What looks fun to you?

3. Have you played in any tournaments before?
ATRL is home to many tournaments besides this one. Have you played in any? If so, how'd it go?

4. What's your music taste like?
This game is all about music. What do you like to listen to? Fave artists? Albums?

5. Demo Round
Each round in this game will have a theme. Then you'll send a song that fits the theme. We'll be mimicking this for the application process. Along with answering these four questions, send me in a song you would describe as....

Cocky
This is a lot more general than actual rounds will be. But, I want to start off with something simple before we get into more specific gameplay. The song you choose to submit along with your app should be all about being the best. Your artist should be bragging about their looks, their wealth, etc, The more conceited the song, the better. It's a very simple theme so we do expect some spot on entries. You do NOT have to explain your entry nor will you do so in actual rounds. I literally just want the song title.

Selection Process:

You can thrive in Survivor in two different ways. You can score high and gain yourself immunity. Or you can rely on social gameplay to keep yourself afloat. I'm using these two methods as a basis for our cast selection.

Apps are due Tuesday. On Wednesday, the judges will have your demo round entries ranked and ready to go. The top 9 scoring entries will receive an automatic placement into the game.

Then. the judges will proceed to rank the remaining 27 apps by who they find to be the most interesting and potentially dedicated castaways. On Thursday, the Top 10 average ranking apps will also be given spots in the game.

That will leave 5 spots up for grabs. Those will be for the judge's wildcard picks. This means each judge will get to hand select a castaway they think deserves another chance even if both their entry and app failed to impress the panel enough to get by. Those remaining 5 spots will also be filled Thursday.

Once the spots are filled, I can easily sort you all into 3 tribes of 8. Round 1 will then be posted and the game will officially commence.

I will send a reminder to everyone about the application due date. There will not be any excused late apps as there's no reason to pick someone whose app is late over someone who submitted on time.

Good luck filling out your apps and I look forward to officially kicking off this season in a few days.
