Okay, what even is Blood vs. Water?
And the problem with Heroes vs. Villains is that it would be kind of hard to determine who would be what, and that could cause the drama to start before anyone even sends a PM. That is, unless the applicants are the ones who decide which one they are, which would kind of be defeating the point?Never be sorry for your little time.
It's not when you get there, it's always the climb.-

well on top of that, HvV is an all-star format, so you're looking at a game not open to public consumption, but rather open on an invite basis, based on performance.
And your invite designates what tribe you are, and at that point having any kind of anonymous game is just defeating the purpose.
So HvV would need to either strip away from the way Survivor games are done here (go non-anonymous, make it invite only, have players vote on who is a hero who is a villain, and have the mods make a final say of 20 people, 10 H 10 V) OR it would need to defeat the purpose of HvV from the outset, just arbitrarily naming anonymous players to 2 different tribes, at which point you just basically have a vanilla survivor.Yes my Lord, but questions are dangerous, for they have answers.

I feel like HvV was a setup for the viewers, and not for the game itself. It might be fun, to see the initial reactions of "Oh, I'm a hero?" or "Woah, I'm a villain?" but beyond that I doubt the division would affect gameplay at all. Besides that, dividing the game into two large initial tribes seems like a risky design choice, for purposes of preventing Pagongings. For an MS game, I'd rather see a tribe division that was actually meaningful, like "Winners vs. Underdogs vs. Newbies" or something equally ridiculous.-

Isn't that just Fans vs. Favourites then, Crazy?Yes my Lord, but questions are dangerous, for they have answers.

I kinda feel like we're heading towards an EDGIC survivor or a Myers-Briggs survivor or something where people are classified as players on some sort of personality system that is more interesting and varied than HvV.
Which is kind of interesting, honestly.Yes my Lord, but questions are dangerous, for they have answers.

I like Fans vs. Favorites; it's a division that would actually affect gameplay, because different tribes come with different threat levels attached. People may argue it's unfair, but I feel it's more balanced than a typical Survivor game; newbies have a higher chance of surviving past the early-game, and strong players have a higher chance of getting voted off early. I think stretching out a FvF game to 3 tribes would be really interesting. The only thing I'd prefer is an all-newbie game, but I sadly don't think there's enough newbie interest to make that feasible.
Granted, I'd still love to play a Heroes vs. Villains game, but I'm not sure there's enough difference between playstyles to make it fit. The main differences seem to be in skill and experience, not in style.-

In all honesty, most games are non-anom for players that are experienced enough. There is just no avoiding knowing who some people are and while players may "try" to not let that influence their decisions, we all know that it partially does.
I would rather just do a straight up non-anom once in a while instead of pretending we don't know who the other players are.Looking for love in Alderaan places.-

I would disagree that most people can anon everyone, really only a few people can tell who a few people are (mainly because xof is obvious)
As someone whose first game was fans vs favorites, I definitely disagree that it's a bad format, I think it actually works better on MS than on the real show. That was Ceph's first game too and he did win"CC is very [whatever the equivalent of photogenic as it applies to videos]" - racefan12
