Survivor: South Bend

Survivor: South Bend Year: 2023 ORG/LSG Format: Meet-up Survivor Type: Non-Anonymous Players: 17 Moderator(s): Mist7676, Save The Dragons LSG List Mod: N/A Winner(s): PrivateI Runner-Up(s): Elias_the_thief, Haschel Cedricson Thestatusquo contributed greatly to organizing the meet, but was a player in the Survivor game.

Survivor: South Bend was a real life, swap-heavy game that required its players to adapt to constantly changing social dynamics. It ran from June 16th to June 18th in 2023. PrivateI won over runner-ups Haschel Cedricson and Elias_the_thief in a 4-2-2 vote.

The game was divided into three days of gameplay. At the beginning of Day 1, players competed in a "Get to Know You" type challenge. The winner of the challenge gained Safety Without Power for the first round. The rest of the players divided themselves into self-chosen duos. The duos would be used throughout Day 1 for Reward Challenges. Every round included a Reward Challenge, a tribe swap, and an Immunity Challenge. Winners of each Reward Challenge typically drafted the tribes ensuring players were not on the same tribe as their duo partner. On Day 1 there were 4 tribe swaps. At the end of the day, the 4 eliminated players competed for 2 returnee spots.

On Day 2, the two returnees drafted a tribe for themselves. The unpicked players became their own tribe making 3 tribes of 5 players each. After 1 round, the tribes were randomly decided and the phase of stable tribes began. Players would stay in these tribes until the merge. There were 4 tribal councils on this day as well as the final returnee competition. 6 eliminated players competed for the last 2 returnee spots in the game. Following the returnee competition, the tribes merged and the final 12 players competed for Individual Immunity for the first time.

On Day 3, players competed for Individual Immunity and every player voted out on this day became a member of the Jury. The jury comprised of 8 players with a Final 3.

In addition to frequent swaps, the overarching twist of the season was an End of the Rainbow Shop. At Tribal Councils, players were presented with a variety of items they could purchase using coins won from Reward Challenges. Some examples of items were: Bank Your Vote (Save your vote from this tribal council to be used in the future), Extra Vote, Single Vote Negator, Impressions (Force a player to speak in a different voice or risk losing their vote), Chaos Injectors (various twists that change the game for a round).
