Sole Survivor

The **Sole Survivor** is the title held by the winner of the Discord ORG *Brovivor*, as determined by a plurality of votes from the jury. It is the task of the jury to award the title to the castaway it believes to have most thoroughly embodied the game's three-word slogan: "Outwit, Outplay, Outlast."

## Criteria

There are no formal rule in choosing the Sole Survivor. The only eligibility requirement for the title is to make it on the final day of the game.

On the final evening of the game, the Final Tribal Council will be held in which the finalists are subjected to questioning by the jury. The jury who may ask any questions or make any statements that they feel will help them make the best decision possible. As there is no objective definition of 'best' in this case, the methods by which castaways have won the game, and the reasons adopted by the jurors in voting for them, have varied widely throughout the history of the series.

Jury members are expected, however, to elect a winner that have credibly embodied the game's three-word motto: "Outwit, Outplay, Outlast."

* **Outwit:** The *social* element; the ability to bring about one's desired strategic goals without sacrificing one's social standing or alienating other contestants emotionally. A strong candidate will remain respected while playing an efficacious game.
* **Outplay:** The *strategic* element; the ability to outmaneuver other contestants and eliminate them in a manner conducive to one's own long-term success in the game. This component of the game may include alliance formation and management, execution of blindsides, use of Hidden Immunity Idols, advantages, or any other manifestation of guile, deception, or strategic command.
* **Outlast:** The *physical* element; the ability to literally survive the harsh realities of the game, such as grueling challenges. It is expected that the Sole Survivor will have not only endured the "physical" difficulties of the game, but indeed will have borne them with enthusiasm and grace.

It should be noted that in the game of *Survivor* likability and respect are not always fungible qualities. In some cases, the winner may have played a game strategically dominant enough to overcome the fact that other finalists were more likable. At other times, the opposite may be the case, where a more sociable player may win due to the quality of their character even in the presence of a more strategically "active" but socially inept competitor. It is up to the idiosyncratic interpretation of the jury to determine who has fulfilled all three elements of "Outwit, Outplay, Outlast," and it is up to each finalist to present a compelling argument in their own favor, emphasizing their strengths and eliding their weaknesses at the Final Tribal Council. Regardless the jury's reasoning behind their vote, they fundamentally choose which finalist they feel comfortable losing to.

## Prizes

Initially, there was no prize given out to each individual winner of the series, however in recent seasons, Joseph has sent out a customized wearable Buff specific to that Sole Survivor's season.
