Our History

==Pre-2018==
Before there was Atlas Productions, there was a small Facebook ORG series known as Fireball ORG. After all of them being involved in that series' third season, Nifty, Ben, Patrick, and Toast were tasked by the series founder, Edward, to draft up a season to host simultaneously with a season he was creating with his own hosting team. And so, in late August of 2016, the four got together and started looking into locations. The Atlas Mountains quickly reigned above the other options, primarily for it's slick-sounding title.
Thus hasty research, pre-planning, and application gathering began. Things initially seemed strong, but slowly it became evident that the ORG was trailing into the grave. After a few weeks of trying to gather applicants, both hosting teams hit dry spells and the ORG died. The team split ways, keeping in loose contact with one another afterwards but leaving all plans for Survivor: Atlas Mountains abandoned and collecting dust as they went separate directions in their ORG careers.
Nifty played a few more Facebook ORGs before fading away from the ORG community entirely for a couple months. After some time, he stumbled upon Discord ORGs in December of 2017 and applied to a season. Seeing how much easier the site was to use in terms of establishing a platform to host on, he thought back to the Atlas Mountains season that had been partially pre-planned and decided that this would be the perfect place to bring back and put a close to the scrapped idea.
==January 2018==
Nifty dug into his Google Drive and, sure enough, the plans were still there. Looking at the surprisingly barren sheet, he decided that this season needed more content and research if it were to be successful. He wanted this one-off Survivor to be a thorough, thematic, and engaging experience for whomever he managed to gather. After a week and a half, he went on to create the server and send out applications wherever he could.
With his connections to multiple ORG communities, Nifty gathered some interest and applicants from the Roblox, Minecraft, Facebook, and Discord communities, as well as a few newcomers who found his post on /r/onlinesurvivor. In the end, 22 people applied and 18 of them were casted.
The season began on January 19th, 2018 and went better than anything Nifty had expected from it. Everyone seemed to place in a fitting position, the cast dynamics were entertaining, the reward system worked well, and the season ended with people urging for another and a few saying they'd be willing to assist in hosting a future season.
And so, what started out as an intended one-off season to bring justice to an abandoned project turned into the first season of a new, nameless Survivor series.
