Let's just jump straight into the first single round episode of the season.

Brunch of Disgustingness
Remaining Players:

To comemorate the begining of the merge and the rearragement of cabins to match gender, Chris and Chef have decided to host a reward challenge. Both guys and girls competed fircely for the break away from Camp Wawawka, and it stirred up tensions between players on both sides of the line. In either victory or defeat, you got to spend a lot of time with those of your sex, increasing your bonds.

If you are a guy, lower your friendship level with all but one girl unless you have a love intrest (basically, since love interests are the highest category, you're obviously going to maintain those bonds better). In turn, increase frinedship level by one for all the guys. If you are a girl, do the opposite. Then post your updated friendships below to show the returning players what type of mess they are walking into.

Lastly, if they players want to debate who won, you are free to do so. In fact, since this is the merge, make any free decison you want. Throw the challenge? I'll give a unique outcome. Want to form an offical alliance? Your call. Want to stir up some drama? Go ahead. Heck, if you all come to a consensus on who actually won, I'll add it in. This is the freest playground you'll get (mainly as an expirement for the merge). I'm looking forward to seeing what people come up with.

Returning/New Players:

If you have been eliminated or want to take control of an eliminated NPC, Chris arrives at the Playa de Losers after the winners have been sent on their cruise. He's looking for volunteers to determine who has the drive to get a second chance at the million. Over the next 24 hours, you can respond. The only person not allowed to return is Owen unless someone other than ILoveLuigi takes control of him. Additoanlly, I would prefer it if returning players take over their orignal characters. New Players can take control of Harold, Sadie, and Owen if they want to use this opurtunity to sign up.

I will be giving these new characters additonal instructions once they state their intent. After the first four to comment do so, I'll place one of the four up to a vote among ALL the players (including eliminated contestants) and one to random draw. This will be to emulate one person returning due to popularity and the other due to production interfeance. Remember, only the first four will get the chance. Good luck.

Returning Players:
Alright. So I litteraly just spun a 1d4 to find out who is coming back into the game randomly...and welcome back TYLER!

Starting now, I need everyone to be voting on if they would rather be returning out of the following three characters:

1. Ezekiel

2. Heather

3. Cody

This can be for whatever reason you want. In fact, even eliminated players or non-players can vote. We will also be doing priority orders for voting (though that will only be taken into account in the event of a tie for first). You can guess what mine is already I bet. Anyway, good luck to everyone else.

EDIT: Well so much for that. It was basically annonomous with about seven votes for Heather if I counted right, so she's our second returnee.

No Pain No Game Round Zero
With two players entering back into the game to shake things up and the merge truley underway, everyone is shuffling even more than ever for alliances. Pick two people to increase friendship with and two more to lower. Additonally, these picks can be either by one or two levels. For example, you can increase friendship with someone by one level and only lower another by one, or you can do two and two. Your increases must parrallel your drops. You can't increase two people by two and decrease two by one. You can also choose to not change your levels or only do one pair.

No Pain No Game Round One
Who Is Up For A Real Time Challenge? Bascially, we are going to be doing a simplified version of the real challenge from the episode. Bascially, everyone has three lives. All three lives are up and you get eliminated. The player must choose who to give the next dare to. This will lower a friendship level with the opposing player. The only way around this is volunterring to take the next dare. You can also drop out of the challenge early in order to avoid making any enemies. If we get to the final two and there is a tie in lives, I'll flip a coin. Good luck.

Duncan: Dropped

Heather: Dropped (Previous Dares: Beth)

Leshawna: Last Life (Previous Dares: Duncan and Tyler)

Trent: Dropped (Previous Dares: Eva and Leshawna)

Gwen: Dropped

Geoff: Dropped

Bridgette: Dropped

Tyler: Dropped

Katie: Dropped (Previous Dares: Duncan)

Beth: Dropped (Previous Dares: Noah and Duncan)

Noah: Dropped

Immunity: Eva

No Pain No Game Round Two
From now on, in the voting section, names in bold are immune.

Duncan Votes for: Leshawna

Gwen Votes for: Eva

Leshawna Votes for: Duncan

Heather Votes for: Leshawna

Katie Votes for: Duncan

Beth Votes for: Duncan

Tyler Votes for: Duncan

Eva Votes for: Leshawna

Trent Votes for: Leshawna

Noah Votes for: Leshawna

Bridgette Votes for: Leshawna (if she would like me to change this later, that's fine, but since it doesn't change anything I decided to just lock the votes).

Geoff Votes for: Leshawna

Eliminated: Leshawna (12th)

Comments: Thank you everyone for making this the funnest round of CYOR yet. I know with a vote as divided as this one some people are disapointed by the outcome, but know that this game isn't over yet. As for Leshawna herself, I have two things to say. Firstly, the irony is honestly hilarious. i mean, this is litteraly the opposite to canon. To her player directly though, I really appreciated having you here, and I wished you had taken your defeat with dignity. As the other person in the bottom two, I know how hard you fought to stay alive in this game, and that getting eliminated right at the merge would probably suck, but this is a game. It's meant to be fun, And in this case, only one person out of 19 was going to take home the victory. I'm hoping you'll join us for the rest of the game in spirit and for the sake of the jury. Thank you.

Search and Do Not Destroy Round One
Since Project MIR suggest it to me, I guess I can do something involving showing everyone the votes.

After seeing the such a close vote after the crazy arguements between Duncan and the Lekatieh Alliance, everyone is curious where alligenes lie.

You have two timeslots and two possible actions for each.

You can use those timeslots to either talk with/help another player or pick a key. The former will allow you to increase friendship with the chosen player by one. However, you only have a chance at the immunity if you pick the right keys.

I'll determine the victor by RNG. It's also possible nobody will be immune. I will also not be able to update in any serious capacity for 24 hours (maybe occationally come for comments but that's unlikely). Once a key has been claimed you cannot take said key. Also, anyone you voted for last episode will not be willing to talk to you (no relationship penality if in the minority but can't increase it this episode).

Remember, you can do any combination. Two Keys and no friendships. The opposite. Or one of each.

Key #1 = Duncan

Key #2 = Beth

Key #3 = Noah

Key #4 = Tyler

Key #5 = None

Key #6 = None

Key #7 = None

Key #8 = Geoff

Key #9 = Trent

Key #10 = None

Key #11 = None

Key #12 = None

Key #13 = None

Key #14 = Tyler

Key #15 = Beth

Key #16 = None

Key #17 = None

Key #18 = None

Key #19 = Katie

Key #20 = Heather

Immunity: Nobody

Comments: Looks like the majority of people spent their time building bonds instead of going for immunity. Makes sense considering you could only secure a 10% chance of immunity, but curious to see how it would turn out. Time to vote.

Search and Do Not Destory Round Two
Duncan Votes for: Beth (To be blunt, out of the targets the new minority, Duncan realizes she's the target that most people would be willing to part with. Unlike Gwen and Katie, Beth is at most neutral with about half the cast.)

Geoff Votes for: Beth

Beth Votes for: Eva

Katie Votes for: Eva

Noah Votes for: Beth

Gwen Votes for: Eva

Trent Votes for: Eva

Bridgette Votes for: Beth

Heather Votes for: Beth

Tyler Votes for: Eva

Eva Votes for: Beth (come on, it's obvious she's not voting for herself and she would need to break the tie)

Eliminated: Beth (11th)

Comments:

It's been great Beth and you put up a good fight. Almost saved yourself. You played a great game and hope you enjoyed yourself.

Hide and Be Sneaky Rounds Zero One
Bonding: The normal increase one and lower one.

Challenge:

You have to choose a place to hide. Chef will check these places in a random order. If you are caught, you have the option of telling Chef where a contestant is. This will lower friendship with this person but get you immunity. You can also try running to the docks. I will RNG you out of 10. This number will get lower and lower the more people are eliminated. First person to get to the docks ends the challenge and earns immunity.

Places:

The Cabins: Nobody

The Kitchen: Bridgette

The Beach: Tyler

The Bear Cave: Duncan

The Woods: Katie

The Restroom: Gwen 

The Arts and Crafts Center: Noah

The Boathouse: Geoff (current target)

The Stage: Nobody

The Campfire: Heather

Lost:

1. Trent

2. Eva

3. Heather

4. Bridgette

5. Duncan

6. Noah

7. Tyler

immunity:

1. Gwen

2. Katie

3. Geoff

Hide and Be Sneaky Round Two
Duncan Votes for: Tyler

Geoff Votes for: Tyler

Noah Votes for: Heather

Tyler Votes for: Heather

Trent Votes for: Heather

Gwen Votes for: Heather

Bridgette Votes for: Tyler

Katie Votes for: Heather

Heather Votes for: Tyler

Eva Votes for: Tyler (I'm sorry to have to do this to RadicalPat again, but I have to follow the logic here.)

Tie Votes So Draw Rocks

Real Life RNG:

To determine this, I ended up rolling a 1d10, using the List of Losers from the challenge. Any number 8 and above would've been re-rolled, in addtion to 3 (Heather's number) and 7 (Tyler's nuber). The first number rolled was...six.

Eliminated: Noah (10th)

Comments: The RNG really hated Noah. Right before posting this I had used another method to RNG this. That method had invvolved me basically using the same numbers from the challenges, re-rolling over anyone who was immune. I intially rolled a nine, or in other words, the Stage. Forgetting that nobody was assgined there, I rolled again. It was a ten, or a now immune Heather. The third role was a seven, or Noah. Thank goodness I noticed my mistake, but even then luck didn't favor you (as I stated above in the Real Life RNG section). Honestly, it's ironic though that you're the one that flipped on the majority and went home due to rocks. Hope you enoyed your time in this game. Was hoping you'd make it far because you played Noah to his namesake. Honestly planned on taking you to six (maybe further depending on composition) and was considering upgrading our friendship this episode. Hope you had fun Jet.

That's Off the Chain! Round Zero
After everyone going to rocks last challenge, the majority is scared of another flip and the minority is really hoping they weren't. Chris warned that no voting would be invovled in this next challenge, but maybe it's still worth your time to bond with someone? Of course, the blowback from the challenge also probably lowered your relationship with someone.

AKA Normal Round Zero, and probably the last. I'm too tired and have yet to flesh out the details of the challenge in full (got a concept though). Thought I would at least have everyone do this part now. See you in the morning (probably stay up 15 minutes for intial reactions though).

That's Off the Chain! Round One
Rules:

1. When making your bikes, you have 4 stats you can assign 22 stat points to (You'll see why below). Those stats are: looks, speed, weight, and height. The exception is Duncan, who will be randomiIng the stats with rolling a 1d8.

2. In the second part of the challenge, everyone will be randomly swapping bikes around. The bikes closest to the ideal stats are going to win the second half.

3. The top two drivers and the owners of the bikes they use will move on to the final round. Sceanrios with only one right answer will be given for each will be given. If you get all three scenario's right, you finish the race. RNG will determine how quickly you come in during a tie.

4. If only one person crosses the finish line or nobody does...well, I have two potential things that can be done in that event.

5. As an incentive (since everyone knows the twist by now), all players who cross the finish line will be given a secret reward.

Duncan:

Looks: 5 (-1)

Speed: 7 (0)

Weight: 7 (-1)

Height: 3 (-2)

Total Off: -4

Well it's more than 16 (the original amount I had planned), but these numbers are really the only fair way to determine it. As such, I'll make the number of points you can use also 22.

Gwen:

Looks: 3 (-1)

Speed: 5 (-2)

Weight: 8 (-1)

Height: 6 (-1)

Total Off: -5

Tyler (Bike WIns):

Looks: 3 (-1)

Speed: 7 (0)

Weight: 7 (-1)

Height: 5 (0)

Total Off: -2

Heather:

Looks: 2 (-2)

Speed: 9 (-2)

Weight: 4 (-2)

Height: 7 (-2)

Total Off: -8

Geoff:

Looks: 5 (-1)

Speed: 5 (-2)

Weight: 6 (0)

Height: 6 (-1)

Total: -4

Bridgette (Bike Wins):

Looks: 4 (0)

Speed: 6 (-1)

Weight: 6 (0)

Height: 6 (-1)

Total Off: -2

Trent:

Looks: 2 (-2)

Speed: 9 (-2)

Weight: 5 (-1)

Height: 6 (-1)

Total Off: -6

Eva:

Looks: 5 (-1)

Speed: 7 (0)

Weight: 5 (-1)

Height: 4 (-1)

Total Off: -3

Katie:

Looks: 6 (-2)

Speed: 5 (-2)

Weight: 7 (-1)

Height: 4 (-1)

Total Off: -6

Optimal:

Looks: I wanted to balance this category between being flashy for the sake of it a propper body. I therefore decided that the best would be a four. Enough to look like a bike and have all the required parts but not flashy. 4

Speed: I wanted to balance this one with weight, but this is the most straghtforward stat. A seven  seemed suitable here, espically since if you were any faster you would be unable to avoid obstacles. 7

Weight: As I said, I thought of weight also having a factor on breaking. Not enough and breaking would be unaffective and too much and it would be a hinderance to speed (in pratical application). A perfect balance between the two made sense, so I made this value a six. 6

Height: Visability was important. Height was certainly something that would affect it. Furthermore, if you made the bike too small, it would be difficult to use the pedals and steer. You probably guessed, but a five was the final value for this one. 5

Person = Bike Assingments:

1. Duncan = Katie

2. Bridgette = Heather

3. Gwen = Geoff

4. Geoff = Tyler

5. Eva = Duncan

6. Katie = Eva

7. Tyler = Gwen

8. Heather = Trent

9. Trent = Bridgette

The two sets of highlighted characters are the ones making it into the next round. Meaning Tyer, Bridgette, Geoff and Trent are going on to round two. Time for the scenarios.

Scenario #1:

You are trailing behind the other racers and start to notice the mines in the track. Considering this is the begining of the race, everyone is nearly neck and neck. How do you want to approch the mines.

A. Fall back and use everyone else as coverage.

B. Speed up. If you are in the front, you'll see the mines first.

'''C. Keep pace. It's too dangerous to be in front yet you can't risk falling behind yet.'''

Scenario #2:

Those that made it past the mines are now on to the oil slick. You need to approch this one just as carefully.

A. Go fast. The faster you are the less chances there are for your bike to slip up.

'''B. Steady your pace again. Too fast and you'll slip but you can't afford to be last.'''

C. Wait for the others to carve a path and make up time afterthat.

Scenario #3:

The last thing is the piranna pond. After that it's a straight shot to the finish line.

A. Go through it first. Others will just slow you down.

B. Go through it second or later. Let the ones in front be bait.

C. Go around it.

Results:

The only person to cross the finish line is Geoff. At first, the party planner is estatic for winning two immunity chllenges in a row. And then Chris breaks the news to him. "Looks like you were the first AND last person to cross the finish line. Tough luck dude but you're out."

Eliminated: Geoff (9th)

Comments: So for those of you wondering how this challenge could've played out. the other two sceanrios were the following. If nobody had crossed the finish line, it would've been the worst performing contestant overall. That probably would've been either Heather or Duncan (though that's off the top of my head). The other scenario was if mutliple people crossed, where everyone but the one eliminated would get a reward. I feel bad for doing this to Geoff since he honestly did great in the challenge, but I had to put myself into Chris' mindset and realzied this is probably what he would've done. You played well ILoveLuigi and I'm sorry things turned out like this for you.

Hook, Line, and Screamer Round Zero
I wanted to post the elimination as soon as possible. So I'm going to start getting the challenge ready now. Expect it within the hour. As for round zero, I guess we will keep it normal. This is truly the last normal one of the season, so make it count.

Hook, Line, and Screamer Round One
Alright. So here's the plan. Below are a bunch of questions. For the sake of simplicity, there's only one right answer. The answers highlighted are correct ones now. I also removed questions that aren't relevant to the slasher flim genre. The ones I removed are about vacation spots and best desciption of you, and haunted houses. If you would like to see the originsl, it's on Brainfall. Here we go.

'''1. You enter into your significant other’s house. It’s dark and no one is home. What do you do?'''

A. Loudly announce that you’re about to take a shower. (Gwen)

B. Leave immediately (Duncan, Bridgette, Trent, Tyler)

C. Grab a knife from the kitchen (Eva, Katie)

D. Whisper “Hello” over and over.

'''2. You’re hiding in a closet and hear footsteps nearby. What do you do?'''

A. Make a run for it. (Bridgette, Eva)

B. Stay quiet (Duncan, Gwen, Tyler, Trent)

C. Whimper uncontrollably

D. Peek through the crack (Katie)

'''3. The villain is chasing you around your house. Where do you go?'''

A. Upstairs

B. Basement

C. Closet

D. Outside (Duncan, Gwen, Trent, Tyler, Katie, Bridgette, Eva)

'''4. Lying in bed at night you hear a strange noise coming from downstairs. What do you do?'''

A. Go downstairs (Eva)

B. Call out

C. Lock the door (Duncan, Gwen, Trent, Katie)

D. Hide (Bridgette, Tyler)

'''5. You’re driving along a country road at night with friends and the engine dies. What do you do?'''

A.Stay in the car while everyone searches for gas

B. Everyone sleeps in the car until morning

C. Wander off into the woods looking for cell service

D. Take turns keeping watch until morning (Duncan, Gwen, Trent, Katie, Tyler, Eva, Bridgette)

'''6. The killer is pounding on the front door. What do you do?'''

A. Try and hold it shut.

B. Scream for help

C. Lock the deadbolt and run out the back (Duncan, Gwen, Katie, Bridgette, Eva)

D. Move the furniture (Trent, Tyler)

'''7. You knocked the killer out! What do you do?'''

A. Finish him off (Duncan, Bridgette, Trent, Katie, Eva)

B. Run away

C. See is he’s breathing

D. Take a picture as evidence (Gwen, Tyler)

Reward: Duncan and Heather

Reason for Reward: Duncan was able to deal with Chef, while a more aware Heather took care of the real killer. Due to not being caught by either and even subdue them, they were both offered the Sole Survivor Perk....TBD (I honestly planned for this to be immunity but until Heather won it potentially with the help of Katie's hint, I questioned it. Maybe it still will be but if anyone can think of a good perk, let me know.)

Worst Survivor:

Tyler or Eva

While Eva was the first person caught by Chef, she put up a great fight, and had only put herself into the situation by surprise and underestimating what was really going on. Tyler lasted quite a while in the challenge, but had been absolutley terified in the challenge passing out in fear when cornered.

META Talk:

I made an error here. I misrecorded one of the options on the fourth question, and really poorly. The option I put was go downstairs, while the original quiz was go back to sleep. Yeah. I don't think this wouldn't have made a difference in Eva's decision making. It's even worse because otherwise they tie with all other choices in terms of quiz point value. I determined it by flipping a coin. And...

Eliminated: Tyler (8th)

Comments: What is with the boys going out in a row all of a sudden? I feel guilty about leaving this to a flip of a coin, but there really wasn't any other way with my mess up. Would not have been fair to Eva or Tyler to leave only due to my screw-up. Since they otherwise tied in both the OG quiz and this version, a coin flip seemed fair. I can't beleive it took five eliminaions for one of the returning players to get the boot though. It was great to have you back Sir Awesome and I hope you were satified with how you did this time around.

Wawanawka Gone Wild Round One
This challenge is going to be weird since canoncially the winner didn't get immunity. As such, I'm going to simply ask everyone to assign themselves an animal and tool. It's first come first serve, with Duncan automatically going last. Winner of the challenge will get the dinner but for two. This will allow the player to increase their friendship or, I guess for Gwen and Trent, they also have the option of going on a date (roleplay, not exactly something I can really award since they are already a couple). Last place cleans the washrooms, though that doesn't really mean anything. No more traditonal round zeros.

Animals Sign-Ups:

1. Racoon = Duncan

2. Chipmunk = Gwen

3. Frog = Trent

4. Duck = Bridgette

5. Beaver = Heather

6. Bear = Katie

7. Deer = Eva

Tools Sign-Ups:

1. Chainsaw = Duncan

2. Tranquilizer = Eva

3. Bait = Bridgette

4. Net = Gwen

5. Sledgehammer = Heather

6. Bucket = Trent

7. Deer Antlers = Katie

Animals Best to Worst:

1. Frog (getting a frog should not have been that hard. No insane jumping power and slow.)

2. Chimpunk (it's a pain to get to, but otherwise easy)

3. Beaver (most of the remaining ones aren't too difficult, but there's still strength in numbers)

4. Deer (mostly here for it's size and speed)

5. Duck (that thing was roadruner)

6. Racoon (That mech like thing made them obviously dangerous)

7. Bear (I mean, it's a bear. And unlike the Racoons, you only need one to cause pain)

Tools Best to Worst:

1. Tranquilizer (as long as you don't run out of shots, the element of surpise makes this extremely effective)

2. Bait (the most peaceful approach, though leaves you with just your hands)

3. Net (always been a solid way to catch anything)

4. Chainsaw (the intimidation factor alone)

5. Bucket (a sless effective net)

6. Sledgehamer (a less effective chainsaw)

7. Deer Antlers (how is this helpful)

Placements In The Challenge:

1. Gwen (Average: 2.5)

2. Eva (Average: 3)

3. Trent (Average: 3)

4. Bridgette (Average: 3.5)

5. Heather (Average: 4.5)

6. Duncan (Average: 5)

7. Katie (Average: 7)

Wawanawka Gone Wild Round Two
Firstly, Gwen has the ability to pick one person to increase friendship with. Voting will be going on at the same time. This oppuruntiy for Gwen to use this power expires at the end of the round and all votes are in.

Duncan Votes for: Katie (Katie clearly seemed to have given up in the challenge and at least wants to spare her from needing to clean the comunal restrooms. Also the only person remaining he doesn't have a good relationship with.)

Gwen Votes for: Heather

Trent Votes for:

Katie Votes for:

Eva Votes for: Katie

Bridgette Votes for:
