Chapter 2, Day

It is now Day 2!
The Story so Far: Team Adamant and Team Lustrous find themselves on New Island. There, they each learn that they find themselves in conflict with a shady group known as the Nihilists, led by the mysterious Phantom Masque. Although they are within close proximity to one another, rampaging Shaymin are holding their attention. Is this another attempt to power up Arceus's plates?

For today's challenge...
Sequel Shenanigans!
Ah yes, sequels. The Pokémon franchise is no stranger to sequels upon sequels upon sequels. But they're pretty much everywhere in the media. And they always seem to get more dilapidated as they go. KINDA LIEK SURVIVOR, M I RITE GUYZ? HURR HURR HURR! ...Ahem. Anyway, have some questions about sequels!

OOOO A KH QUESTION!

My time has come!

For clarification, 5 is asking between Toy Story 2 & 3 correct?

I need to do these tomorrow. D:

tfw you don't know any of the answers lol.

I was gone for 1 night people!

In question one, if E is wrong, then A is right. 5=5, More than 5 is also more than 10, more than 5 is more than 15, and more than 5 is more than 20.

I think it's between 1 and 2.

The face when your phone sends the answers even though you're only on 3. Urgh.

I dont know any of these and I refuse to cheat.

Hooray for guessing

Do you want us to round up for #5, or do the exact months of release matter?

You need to pick the one that's MOST correct. This is a common tactic on university-level MC questions. <3

Months don't matter. I'm only looking for a ballpark answer.

Oh my! A massive ripple of temporal energy had ended Day 2 early!
The very limited results are incoming, along with flavor text. Not much to say about 'em though. @.@

What? brb crying.

I was sleeping. D:

Darn it!

Quote: somePerson

I was sleeping. D:

Same.

No one earned immunity once again!
Day 2 Results

Yes, these are accurate. If you don't see anything there, it's because of the temporal energy.

Chapter 2, Dusk

It is now Night 2!
You will have roughly 24 hours to vote out another player. Please submit your vote, along with any moves you wish to use, to me by PM. Remember, a player must earn a majority of the available votes in order to be eliminated. If this does not happen, we will vote again, with your choices limited to the 2 players earning the most votes. Good luck!

Also, Angel220200 has replaced StriderSwag.

Well now we know, when you play the game of Survivor, you stay awake forever, or you die.

Nuuuuuuuuuuu!

Welp, I screwed up.

...Well, that was unexpected.
Praise Arceus, our lord and savior.

Also I was Kyogre.

Quote: epicLLOYD

Also I was Kyogre.

Noice.

I was gonna submit now...awww...

A few votes left. Although it looks like unless they all vote for the same person (which could happen) we'll be heading for another re-vote!

But in my opinion, that's more fair than booting someone who gets 2 or 3 votes when there are 19 players. <.<;

It's much more fair. Thanks HIR.

The 1st round of voting is now closed!

No one accumulated the necessary votes to be eliminated, so you must all vote again! You may only vote for xXBeavcoonXx and somePerson. If the vote is tied, somePerson will be eliminated by the pre-determined tiebreaker.

Again, if you used a move already, you can't use another one. Good luck!

Wow HIR you biased goon.

Quote: somePerson

Wow HIR you biased goon.

I'm guessing you got the most votes, but you didn't get a majority. You'll have to ask HIR about that, though.

He ain't got my Poke-respect.

Voting is still open. There are 4 votes unsubmitted and things are neck-and-neck right now, so it wouldn't be fair to close voting yet.

In the mean time, have a preview of day 3's challenge:



I swear this is the last number-related theme, don't kill me. @.@

Ooh...

The 2nd round of voting is now closed!

Very close results. Someone's going to be disappointed.

btw, friends with you or not, I was totally gonna try to stab all of you in the back.

I simply didn't feel like participating anymore.

Chapter 2, Night

Articuno of Team Adamant has been eliminated! 18 players remain!

Day 3 will begin soon. As in "when I finish the flavor text" soon. <.>;

You know, there should totally be a Smash themed survivor season with 26 players representing each of the Melee characters..wah.

You ain't got my Poke-Respect HIR. I didn't have a three way tie with Yveltal and Dialga. Coincidence? I THINK NOT! But I look I died yet again.

If none of our multi-season hosts (HIR and Seiki) want to host that then I wouldn't mind hosting it since I already hosted one season. Thought it certainly won't be soon; I'm going to be quite busy during the upcoming months.....wah.

In Which 3 May or May Not be a Magic Number!
The number 3 is actually very important in science and mathematics. But as this is a trivia challenge, I wouldn't be doing my due diligence if I didn't ask about some of the more "trivia" aspects of 3. See what I did there? D'oh ho ho ho ho ho!

Don't blame me. As the post-game WAVE O' DATA will show, your team leaders unknowingly determined the tiebreaker for this season before the game started. ^.^b

I had a Super Smash Survivor idea planned, but I couldn't make it work because I knew I would be biased toward the Smashers I like (Shulk, Mega Man, Luigi, Dedede, etc.). With Pokémon, I kept the Legendaries I like out of the game so that wouldn't happen. <.<;

I have started some work on a future season. This is to be my grand finale season and finish up the storyline that's been going on in my seasons.

Cool can I die in every episode?

Just checking on all of y'all.

Good luck everyone. ^.=.^b

God ****ing dammit HIR for number 3, I thought you used the "!" as punctuation. I didn't know you meant it as factorial. That's why I was so confused at the question >.>
Make it more clear next time please?
