I have learnt that living dangerously is a hell of a lot better than not living at all

**I have learnt that living dangerously is a hell of a lot better than not living at all** is the premiere episode of SurviVARs: Gotham.

## Episode Recap

We have several breaking news reports of dangerous gameshow being played between heroes and villains. Eight dangerous villains and eight of the finest heroes are competing against each other in a battle of deception. Last night they had their first clash! It was a tight battle between of creativity, and the question was would the villains be able to build a dastardly criminal or would good prevail by making the judges see the light? Alas villainy won!

When this challenge was completed, these two groups or “Tribes” had to pick a member to travel to Amusement Mile! Amusement mile is an extremely deadly place run by Gotham's most infamous villain the Joker. Wayne Manor (the heroes) chose to send BiggyBiggs in a majority decision. Arkham Asylum (the villains) was much more chaotic vote. Artemis found himself in an alliance called the four horseman and in true villainous fashion, went behind his comrades' backs getting the rest of the tribe to vote for him to go to amusement mile. On Amusement mile BiggyBiggs successfully won the first advantage in this game known as the “Lights Out” advantage, and Artemis gambled it all and lost his vote going into Arkham Asylums next tribal.

Wayne Manor, despite being organized voting for BiggyBiggs for Amusement mile, was anything but that this round. This newspaper is partially an opinion piece so let me share this with my fabulous readers. Here’s a tip for anyone looking to play this game. Telling one person they’re on the bottom is fine, telling all three? Well if they’re smart they’ll form an alliance. Which is exactly what they did. Add, Connor, and Sam formed a new trio called ACS which lets be honest is a very...cool name. Through clever play and never giving up they managed to bring JohnK to their side. I personally thought Rose was sitting pretty, however she was sent right out of the game. Which is a shame she was a great narrator of the action when she was in the game. With 15 left this begs the question of who will be next?

## Challenges

* Immunity
* Amusement Mile
 *Dynamic Duo*
Each tribe will be tasked with creating an original character that you would find in Batman’s comic universe. Wayne Manor will be creating a superhero to fight along Batman, and @rkham Asylum will be creating a supervillain to oppose him. They can create their Hero and Villain in any creative form or medium they'd like, although it must be submitted in some final form that allows for its presentation to a panel of judges. They will have a timeframe of 24 hours to create their character, after which point they will be sent to the judges. The judges are not anyone in the server, and they will be given no information about who made which character. Characters will be scored from 1-10 on three different criteria; Concept, Backstory, and Design. The tribe with the highest overall score from the judges will win Tribal Immunity, while the losing tribe will go to Tribal Council, where one of them will be eliminated from the game.
