## Season #1

TylORGs Survivor Season 1 Logo

**TylORGs Survivor, Season 1: Delicious Pancakes** is the first season of *TylORGs Survivor*. Thus kicking off a series of Survivor ORG seasons that are still being ran to this day with their most recent season; TylORGs Survivor, Season 9: Mysterious Mr. Qi

Axel became TylORGs' very first Sole Survivor, defeating Rhil and Quil in a 4-3-0 vote. To date, this season has produced four returning players (Navi, Piper, Rhil, Axel) for future seasons.

## Theme

The theme for this season was inspired the hit JRPG by Atlus: Persona 5 Royal. More specifically the season was themed around the character Goro Akechi, and one of his famous quotes about "delicious pancakes."

That being said, Season 1 (and 2) don't have much of a theming within the Season itself. Goro Akechi and his Pancakes more-so serve as symbols for the season rather than a theme. It's only until TylORGs Survivor, Season 3: The Rumbling that the seasons gain twists and themes beyond a logo and title. Despite this, Goro Akechi is Head Host Tyler's favorite fictional character of all time, making the symbols around the season fitting.

## Format & Twists

* **Tribe Composition:** A staple twist of TylORGs Survivor, present in every season (although slightly altered in TylORGs Survivor, Season 5: All Stars), is it's unique tribe composition. Unlike most Survivor ORGs, TylORGs Survivor starts with a comparatively measly 10 players. Also, these players are merged into one tribe at the start of the season. This is in direct contrast to most ORGs and even Survivor itself, both known for separating a cast of 16-20 players into separate tribes before merging later into the season.
* **Hidden Immunity Idol:** The Hidden Immunity Idol is an advantage used to negate votes against you at Tribal Council. It is hidden somewhere at the beginning of the season for a player to find and use by Final 5 at the latest. Sometimes the idol is not hidden but however intermingled within a season twist or The Auction. At Tribal Council, after the votes are cast, but before they are read, players are prompted to play any Immunity Idol (or advantage) they may have. When played, a Hidden Immunity will negate any votes against the user at that tribal council. Whether played correctly or incorrectly, once it is played the idol cannot be played again.
* **The Auction:** A multi-purpose Immunity Challenge meant to distribute advantages as well as give somebody Individual Immunity that week. Players are given a (fake) $500 to bid on various items. These items include the aforementioned Individual Immunity as well as a plethora of advantages, some obscured as "Mystery Items."
* **Public Immunity Idol:** An Idol that holds the same regulations as a regular Hidden Immunity Idol. However, this idol is a Public Item in The Auction, meaning everybody knows you have it. Hence, Public Immunity Idol.
* **Extra Vote:** An advantage that lets a player cast a second vote at any given Tribal Council up until the Final 5. This advantage is played in secret, unlike an Immunity Idol for example.
* **Final Immunity Challenge Legacy Advantage:** An advantage for the Final Immunity Challenge; Hands on the Hard VC. The advantage is a (one-use) 5 minute buffer after dropping from the challenge to join back and retry. It is also a Legacy Advantage, meaning if you're voted out with it, you can will to someone still in the game. For example, Bryce was voted out with this advantage, therefore giving it to Piper who was still in the game.
* **Vote Reveal Advantage:** An advantage that allows you to receive a copy of the Voting Chart for any given Tribal Council up until the Final 4. If voted out, you can also use this advantage from the Jury.
* **Safety Without Power Immunity:** In Episode 3 (In an episode aptly titled; "Safety Without Power") the winner of Individual Immunity that episode (Rhil) was surprised after winning with the twist that their Immunity is actually a Safety Without Power Immunity. A Safety Without Power Immunity means the winner is safe that episode, however they don't get a vote at the episode's Tribal Council.
* **Hands on the Hard VC:** The standard Final Immunity Challenge for TylORGs Survivor. (With the exception od TylORGs Survivor, Season 2: Way of Life.) This challenge consists of everyone still in the game joining a Discord Voice Call. The rules are simple; the last to leave the VC wins.

## Season Summary

The series premiere began with 10 seasoned ORG players being thrust into the unique ORG format that is TylORGs Survivor. The TylORGs Survivor format of 10 players merged from the beginning of the season, was a new format rarely seen in any ORGs other than Survivor Speeds. Hence, none of the players this season were prepared for this format making it's debut here. A meta began to develop in the first 2 episodes with DunDun & Derek being voted out for being social outcasts. However, in Episode #3 (Safety Without Power) a shift in the season dynamic came with the vote out of Orange, being targeted for their immunity prowess. This kicked off a more strategic meta to votes going forward with Piper's successful plan to eliminate Navi. Bryce, trying to usurp Piper after his display of the strategic dominance the episode before, spent Episode #5 (This is My Big Move) trying to target him. However, they were foiled in their plan being voted out 4-2.

This strategic wave boiled over at the finale, in an episode aptly titled "Lying is Morally Correct." Piper, after dominating the past few episodes strategically, had a huge target on his back going into the finale. However, not all hope was lost for Piper when Axel, after winning Final Immunity, felt bad about the prospect of voting out their #1 ally. Runner-ups Rhil & Quil were dead-set on voting out Piper. But the vote was tied 2-2 between Piper and Quil after Axel couldn't pull the trigger on sending Piper home. Luckily for Axel, however, Quil won the fire making challenge. Piper being sent home here aided Axel in winning the season in a 4-3-0 vote at Final Tribal Council (FTC). Axel's loyalty won more vote's than Rhil's strategic style at FTC.
