Social Experiment

Social Experiment, sometimes called Social Experiment I, is the first season of Essix's ORGs.
Looking back, Social Experiment, initially intended as a test season, turned out to be quite chaotic. Many of the twists and challenges were deemed poor planning, especially the 'Executor' twist and the re-entry of four players, two of whom returned twice.
The season's winner was The Bomber, with Jamie as the Runner-Up.
In July 2022, Harper, The Bomber, and Tori made a comeback in Drag Race, each controlling two queens. Melanie also returned and emerged victorious as Charity Kase. Later on in the same month, Jamie and Natasza returned to compete in Big Brother: Stranger Things. Natasza decided to quit in 12th place, while Jamie finished in 8th place but voluntarily withdrew from the Jury.
Then, Dyer, LnR, Motherlake, and The Bomber all returned to play in Survivor: The Emerald City, which spanned the months of January and February 2023. Out of the four, LnR placed the highest as the Runner-Up of the season.
Most recently, in June 2023, Tori and Meels returned to play Big Brother: Roulette as the Queen of Clubs and Queen of Spades respectively. Meels was evicted fairly early for a poor social game, but Tori received the Player Of The Season award and placed 3rd.
== Twists ==
Twists will be listed in order of appearance.
* Executor: The wheel is spun and picks one random player. That player then becomes the Executor, and solely eliminates another player.
** In Round 23, you had to win a challenge to become Executor.
* Duel: The wheel is spun and picks two random players. Those players then take part in a Duel Challenge, in which the loser is eliminated.
** In Round 2, the Duel Challenge was General Trivia.
*** Like in Round 2, if the results of a Duel Challenge are tied, then both players survive.
** In Round 14, the Duel Challenge was Semantris.
* Group Vote: The wheel is spun and picks one of the four pre-determined groups at random. Each member of the chosen group must vote for one of their fellow group members. The player with the most votes in the group is eliminated.
* Vote to Resurrect: A poll is held with all the eliminated players' names. The eliminated player with the most votes from the living players will be resurrected and return to the game.
** If there is only one eliminated player, they automatically return.
* Flower of Life: The wheel is spun and picks one random player. They are then given the Flower of Life item. This item can be used at any time to automatically resurrect an eliminated player. 
** Flower of Life must be used before or at the Final 5.
* Decider: The wheel is spun and picks one random player. They must then pick which twist happens that round.
* Knife Handout: The wheel is spun and picks one random player. They are given a knife item, which increases their strength stat in fights.
* Purge: All players who have not spoken in 48 hours are automatically eliminated.
* Global Vote: Every player must vote for another player. The player with the most votes in the group is eliminated.
** If tied, there will be a re-vote. If the re-vote ties, the result will be randomized.
* Soul Link: Every player is randomly assigned a partner. They then become a pair for the next two rounds, meaning if one is eliminated, the other is also eliminated.
** If the amount of players is uneven, this twist will be skipped.
** If Duel is picked, one pair will duel each other. The sole survivor of the Duel Challenge will be immune until the Soul Link twist is over.
* Nosedive: Every player rates all the other players using the 5-star system. Each player's average rating is then calculated. If a player's average rating is below 2 stars, then they are eliminated.
* Resurrection Bracket: At the Final 7, all thirteen eliminated players still in the server were entered into a bracket. The final seven players then voted which player they wanted to be resurrected, each round of the bracket, all the way until the final round. The ultimate winner of the bracket was resurrected.
* Court: A player who is a murderer would be put on trial. To be classified as a murderer, a player must have eliminated another player either through the Executor or Duel twist. The accused must plead their case, and the other players must vote if they are innocent or guilty. If the majority voted innocent, the accused lives. If the majority voted guilty, the accused dies.
** If there is a tie in voting, then the accused dies.
* Murder Mystery: The wheel is spun and secretly picks one random player. That player must then murder another player. Then, all players vote for who they think killed the victim. The player with the most votes dies, regardless whether they were the murderer or not.
** If tied, there will be a re-vote. If the re-vote ties, the result will be randomized.
* Survival of the Fittest: All remaining players take part in a challenge. The worst third of players are eliminated.
* Revenge of the Ghosts: A poll is held with all the living players' names. The living player with the most votes from the eliminated players will be killed and eliminated from the game.
* Grand Finale: The finale is split into three sections. Winning each section earns you a point. The player who wins the majority of points will win the season. If there's a tie, then both players would win the season - this did not happen.
** Section 1 - Jury: The six recently eliminated players vote between the Final 2. The player with the majority of votes will win the point.
*** If there is a tie in the Jury voting, neither of the Final 2 receive a point. 
** Section 2 - Flags Challenge: A country flag will be made in a 3×3 grid of colour blocks. The players must guess what flag it is supposed to be representing, guessing gets harder the more detailed the flag is.
*** If there is a tie in the amount of correct guesses, neither of the Final 2 receive a point.
** Section 3 - Semantris: The players must play a word association game, aiming to score as many points as possible. The player with the highest score in the game will win the point.

== Season Summary ==
The season kicked off with four groups: Blue, Green, Red, and Yellow, each consisting of five players. Akira and DudesGuys, both from the Blue team, left the competition - Akira due to Meels' behaviour and DudesGuys for unknown reasons. Meels met her demise, executed by Dyer. To fill the gaps, Henry, LnR, and Cat joined the game. Meanwhile, The Bomber and Tori faced off in a Duel, with both managing to survive thanks to a tie.
Next, the Blue Team went through a Group Vote. Everyone, except Cat, received one vote each, but LnR garnered an additional self-vote, leading to his elimination. In Round 4, a poll determined whether to bring Meels or LnR back. Meels returned, thanks to her activity and connection with her friend at the time Ella. Later, Ella assumed the role of Executor and contemplated seeking revenge against Dyer or his allies. However, she changed her mind and targeted Regular due to his "cringe-worthy" profile picture.
In Round 8, LnR's resurrection hinged on a technicality as the sole deceased player in the Vote to Resurrect. Subsequently, a series of eliminations unfolded, resulting in the removal of seven players, including LnR, during two rounds of inactivity purges. Round 12 witnessed a significant 7-6 split vote, resulting in the departure of Henry, the oldest contestant.
Despite Natasza's popularity and pre-existing relationships with several players, she ended up paired with Motherlake, a prominent member of the Dyer Five alliance and a formidable competitor. While this pairing seemed advantageous for Natasza, a twist forced her to Duel against Motherlake. Unfortunately, Natasza lost the Semantris challenge by a score of 3515-980, granting Motherlake immunity for the next few rounds.
In the subsequent round, Tori became the random Executor. To disrupt their close alliance, Tori eliminated Meels, also Soul-Linked with Kai. However, Ella's mourning period for her friend was short-lived. Ella, along with the minority group of Harper, Cat, and Tori, were eliminated in a single swoop as the Dyer Five seized the opportunity provided by the ranking twist.
The final five players consisted of the Dyer Five alliance, comprising Dyer, Motherlake, Jamie, The Bomber, and Melanie. Motherlake and The Bomber utilized their Flower of Life advantages to resurrect Henry and Salahaddin, knowing they posed less of a threat. The Dyer Five had control over the Resurrection Bracket, ultimately selecting LnR, who was the least threatening and least active option.
In Round 19, Dyer faced a trial, dubbed "Court", for executing Meels in Round 1. Players voted on whether to execute him or set him free. Ultimately, he was acquitted, and no consequences followed. Round 20 introduced a double elimination format, with the "Murderer" eliminating one player, followed by a Group Vote to eliminate another. The Dyer Five capitalized on this opportunity, targeting Henry and Salahaddin once again.
However, the Dyer Five's influence diminished for the remainder of the season. The subsequent phase featured a Survival of the Fittest challenge, eliminating the two slowest players, Motherlake and Melanie. As a result, the final four consisted solely of male contestants. The Ghosts, previously eliminated players, had the chance to eliminate one of the final four. The majority voted to eliminate Dyer, placing him in 4th.
The Bomber emerged victorious in the final Executor challenge, granting him the power to choose who to eliminate. He opted to eliminate LnR, considering him an outsider to the Dyer Five alliance. The Bomber advanced to the final two alongside Jamie, another member of the Dyer Five. Unfortunately for Jamie, The Bomber triumphed in both finale challenges and secured a 4-2 victory in the Jury Vote. Thus, The Bomber was crowned the winner of Social Experiment after 24 intense rounds.
