Competition 10 Beginning August 10th at 9:00 PM EST
What TDS! Is:
Total Drama Skyland! is a role play reality TV show that is a spinoff of Total Drama Island. Instead of having humans, though, Total Drama Skyland! has Skylanders as contestants. The host, Luminous, and his assistant, Nightshade, will put these contestants up to many challenges to fight for the grand prize: one million coins and the ability to level up to level 25. A contestant will be eliminated every week (except Vacation Week) by a vote from other contestants, and this will happen until only two contestants remain, and the Ultimate Doom Challenge takes place. Whichever contestant wins that will be the grand winner. But in this process, there will be many alliances, rivalries, bonds, heartbreaks, pain, and total drama that takes place. Who will win? Stay tuned to find out!
Rules for Contestants:
Hello, contestant! I would like to give you a personal warm welcome to Total Drama Skyland!. Now, I know that you may still be confused, but do not worry, I will explain everything you need to know about this odd role play to you as thoroughly as I can.
Firstly, I will discuss the teams. Yes, I did randomly generate the teams, but I did it by your name. If you have two Skylanders, I placed them both on the same team to cause less complication and chances of cheating (I did make one exception, though: night bomb guy. I placed his Skylanders on separate teams because they are rivals. I have no favoring for him over the rest of the contestants). If you have a problem with the team you are on, please contact me as soon as possible so we can make a compromise on your request.
Secondly, I will discuss how to properly format your responses/comments that you post on this role play. There are standard role play rules of course, such as type OOC: before anything that you type out of character, do not godmod, and do not speak as any character that you are not, but I have some rules that are not common for role plays to have. First, speak in first person. I prefer that you do this so it will be easier for spectators to understand that this is supposed to be like a reality TV show. Second, place the emoticon and name of the character that is speaking at the top of your post. For example: :luminousemoticon: Luminous. If you are role playing as multiple characters and would like to speak as your second character in the same comment, just put the emoticon and the name of the character you will speak as next before you type what that character says, and so forth. Third, whenever you do an “outhouse talk,” write the talk in italics and between tildes. If you have watched Total Drama Island, you know what I am talking about. If you have not, let me explain. An “outhouse talk” is something that a character in Total Drama Island did to get away from other contestants and talk about their feelings to a camera in an outhouse. It would allow contestants to talk to the fans about their private feelings without any other contestants knowing. For example, ~I ain’t got nothin’ to do with ‘dat girl! Uh uh!~ is what it would be like if you did an outhouse talk. So, follow these rules and basic role play rules, and we won’t have a problem.
Thirdly, I will discuss the challenges. I will post what the fake challenge is on this thread, and then I will PM the contestants the Skylanders-based questions to the contestants, the actual challenges. You will have 96 hours (4 days) to respond to the questions from the point I PM the questions to you. These questions are randomized, and each question will be worth one to five points, one being the easiest questions, and five being the hardest (you are allowed to research these questions, but you are not allowed to dicuss the questions with other contestants. If I figure out that you discussed a question with another contestant, your team will automatically lose the challenge for the week). You may have more questions to answer in each challenge as the season progresses. If you get the question wrong or do not respond in 96 hours, you will not score any points for your team (if you do not respond for three challenges in a row, your Skylander will be disqualified). The team that has the most points at the end of the challenge will gain immunity (meaning they will not have to vote a team member off), while the losing team will then have to vote a Skylander off (the organization of this will change once the amount of contestants gets so small that teams will cease, which will probably be when there are eight Skylanders remaining, or when one team gets too small to continue). This will then move on to the voting session.
Lastly, I will discuss the voting. Everytime a challenge ends (which will be every Sunday at 9:00 PM EST), a voting session will begin. This then means each team member of the losing team will need to PM me which Skylander they would like to be casted off of Total Drama Skyland!. Each team member will have 48 hours to do so. Once the voting is closed, I will announce who had the most votes, and that Skylander will be eliminated from Total Drama Skyland! (once this happens, you will no longer be able to role play as this character on the thread and I will no longer PM you questions for this character. If both of your Skylanders are eliminated, you will no longer be able to comment on the thread and I will no longer PM you questions or notices for Total Drama Skyland!). If there is a tie, I will PM both of the users a question to commence a tiebreaker. They will each have 12 hours to respond to his or her question. Once one of them gets a question wrong or does not respond in time, the loser will be voted off. This makes Total Drama Skyland! so competitive!
Well, that pretty much wraps it up. Give yourself an applause, because this will hopefully be the last time you will have to read through a huge list of guidelines for Total Drama Skyland!.


Rules for Spectators:
These rules are pretty simple. You are free to view and enjoy this topic as much as you like, but please do not comment. I am doing this to prevent confusion and less enjoyment among other spectators. Also, once someone is eliminated from TDS!, he or she is considered a spectator.
