Twistvivor

***Twistvivor*** is the main attraction of the *Twisted ORGs* formats. The game is derived from the popular reality TV show *Survivor*, which follows the same format in terms of cycles (a challenge is held, the winners become "immune" from Tribal Council, the losers go to Tribal Council where somebody is voted out of the game). *Twistvivor*, however, takes a spin on this game and features unique and fun twists to represent each season. A major themed twist or twists are the core of each season, and smaller twists are added in the mix due to production's discretion.

*Twistvivor* was originally founded by Crimson and Pace, and they held their first season at the end of July 2021. Since then, Crimson has taken full ownership of *Twistvivor* and the umbrella of formats that is *Twisted ORGs*. Alumni from various seasons who have joined Crimson as hosts include Kaiden, Reid, Kat, Dylan, and Bolivia. Many other alumni and people who are simply part of the community have taken part in the production team.

*Twistvivor* attempts to start a new season every time its predecessor has reached its halfway point. If you would like a chance to play in the *Survivor* experience of a lifetime, join the discord server that is linked on the front page of this wiki and apply!

## Format

A certain number of people, depending on the size of the cast for each specific season, are put into a Discord server with everything prepared to run a season. The people playing the season are labeled as "castaways", and they will be split into certain text channels with other members of their team, known as a "tribe", where they will work together to win challenges and socialize with each other. Winning challenges is key to safety in the game, as winning them will guarantee players safety from elimination. Losing castaways will attend Tribal Council, where someone or some people will be voted out of the game, depending on the circumstances approved beforehand.

At a designated point in the game, given that the format of the season sees fit, all the castaways who have not been eliminated from the game will combine into one single tribe, known as the "merge tribe". Here, instead of competing with each other to win immunity from elimination, each castaway will compete for individual immunity, guaranteeing them and only them safety from elimination. Everyone on the tribe then attends Tribal Council, no matter the status of immunity, where people will continue to be voted out. The last two or three people remaining in the game will attend the Final Tribal Council, where they will create speeches to plead to a jury of their peers to vote for them to win the season.

At a designated point in the game, not necessarily when the merge starts, the jury system will start, where people who have been voted out will become members of the jury. These jury members will interrogate the castaways attending the Final Tribal Council, asking them why they deserve to win the game and why they think they played the best game they could that could make them worthy of winning the season. After the interrogation period is over, each jury member will vote individually for who they think should win the season, and the person who receives the highest number of votes wins the season and the title of Twisted Survivor.

### Division of Tribes

* **Two Starting Tribes:** Seen in *Patience*, *Second Chances*, *Go Big or Go Home*, *Bolivian Barrage*, *The Three Rings*, *Game of Death*, and *Heroes vs Villains*, the starting cast would be divided into two tribes of equal amount of players.
* **Three Starting Tribes:** Seen in *Camp Outlook*, *Fans vs Favorites* (by technicality), *Floral Fight*, and *Battle of the Seasons*, the starting cast would be divided into three tribes of equal amount of players.
* **Four Starting Tribes:** Seen in *Trust*, *Allstars* (by technicality), *A New Era* (by technicality), *Double-sided Coin*, and *Battle of the ORGs* (by technicality), the starting cast would be divided into four tribes of equal amount of players.
* **Two Worlds:** Seen in *The Two Worlds*, *Allstars*, *A New Era*, *Fans vs Favorites*, and *Battle of the ORGs*, the cast would be divided equally to play two or more "separate seasons within the same season". Each world would feature its own tribes and gameplay, while at the same time those castaways would know the logistics of what was happening in the other world(s).
* **Choose Your Tribe:** Seen in *Enter the Darkness*, *Pyramid Peril* (by virtue of the casting system for that season), *Decision Peak*, and *Battle of the Seasons*, castaways would be able to, in some way, shape, or form, choose which tribe they wanted to go on.
	+ In *Enter the Darkness*, on Day 1, castaways were forced to find someone to form a duo, which created their starting "tribe".
	+ In *Pyramid Peril*, during the application process for the season, people would apply with two other people, forming a "trio". If their trio got cast, they would be put on their own tribe of three.
	+ In *Decision Peak*, at certain points in the game known as "peaks", castaways were given a number of tribes to choose from, and whichever tribe they chose to go on, they would be put on that tribe. This caused the number of people per tribe to be massively unbalanced.
	+ In *Battle of the Seasons*, the *Decision Peak* variation of this twist was tweaked so that castaways were required to submit a priority list of which tribe they wanted to go on. Depending on their tribe's challenge performance that cycle, the entire cast would be split into new tribes based on priority. However, if a tribe lost a member right before a tribe switch, the number of castaways that could go on that tribe was the amount of castaways that survived that Tribal Council.

### Themed Seasons

* **Full Returnee Seasons:** These seasons featured their entire casts with only players who had played in at least one previous season of *Twistvivor*. The seasons would be themed around the cast and how they performed in their previous season(s).
	+ **Second Chances:** Season six featured an entire cast of players who were robbed from winning the game, or making a good run into the game, all deserving a second chance to prove themselves.
		- **David vs Goliath:** Subsequently, *Second Chances* had its original tribes be divided by how its players played in their previous seasons. Davids were seen as the underdogs and the ones who were robbed too early, and the Goliaths were the players who were dominant, but were eliminated right before they could claim the winner's title.
	+ **Allstars:** Thirty-three people from the previous seven seasons competed here, all players who were memorable for their amazing performances and notable characters when they played previously.
	+ **Heroes vs Villains:** This season featured eighteen people from seasons one to fifteen who were known for their heroic and villainous games. Some players played emotional but social games, while others played cutthroat and merciless games. They were divided into two tribes based on how they played in their previous season(s).
	+ **Battle of the Seasons:** Also known as *Allstars 2*, this season was comprised of twenty-four returning players who made their mark on a specific season in *Twistvivor*. They returned to represent their season to once again try and claim the title of Twisted Survivor.
* **Partial Returnee Seasons:** These seasons featured at least half their casts comprised of new players, and the rest of the cast being returning players.
	+ **"Alumni Can Return":** These seasons allowed for any alumni to return, and the theme of the season did not surround these alumni returning. Most *Twistvivor* seasons allow for this, but the ones in question include *Trust, The Two Worlds, Enter the Darkness, Pyramid Peril, Go Big or Go Home, Decision Peak, Game of Death,* and *Battle of the ORGs*.
	+ **Captain Seasons:** Alumni were asked to return to "captain" their tribes. One or multiple returning players would be placed onto each tribe to play and act as a help to get used to the format of *Twistvivor*. Seasons that used this twist include *Camp Outlook, Floral Fight*, and *Double-sided Coin*.
	+ **Alumni playing on alt accounts:** This theme has only been seen in *The Three Rings*. One of the twists of this season required a number of alumni to apply for the season, but they would secretly play on alt accounts to hide their true identity from the new players.
	+ **Fans vs Favorites:** This season was comprised of half new players and half returning players, which was derived from the popular theme from *Survivor* seasons sixteen and twenty-six. The returning players were people who were considered "favorites" on their original season(s).
* **Go Big or Go Home:** In season seven, instead of having every losing person go to Tribal Council, the season would feature a point system, where you could gain and lose points based off of challenge and tribal performances. At the end of each challenge, a certain number of players who had the least amount of points in the entire cast would attend Tribal Council, no matter which tribe they were on.
* **A New Era:** Season nine ran during the exact same time that season eight was running. It followed the same twists, same format, and same cast size, but the only difference was that it only featured new players as compared to season eight become comprised of only alumni.
* **Camp Outlook:** This season took an approach on a publicized game, where everything was made public. It forced players to remain secret about everything, or else they would get caught and potentially voted out.
* **Game of Death:** This season featured a very dangerous format, where players would randomly switch tribes after every tribal council. Mass eliminations took place as well. On top of this, one randomly selected person who was attending tribal council would be given the opportunity to play the Game of Death. Depending on the outcome of the Game, that player would gain or lose nothing, lose their vote, gain an extra vote, obtain an idol, or be instantly eliminated from the game (with a chance to return via the Edge of Extinction).
* **Exile Island:** Seen in *The Two Worlds* and *Floral Fight*, as well as *Second Chances* for a brief moment, players would be selected to go to Exile Island (called "The Greenhouse" in *Floral Fight*), where they could talk to other people on the Island and potentially win an advantage, or even vote at Tribal Councils taking place.
* **Battle of the ORGs:** Hosts of other ORGs in the community would apply for this season and designate four of their alumni to represent their ORG in this season. Not only were players playing to win the season, but they were also playing for the integrity of their ORG to win their ORG the title of "Best ORG of them all".

### Final Tribal Council

* **Final Two:** The final two castaways remaining in these seasons were able to pitch their case as to why they should win the season to a jury of people they had a hand in voting out. This format has been seen in *Patience, Allstars*, and *Bolivian Barrage*.
* **Final Three:** The final three castaways in these seasons were able to pitch their case as to why they should win the season to a jury of people they had a hand in voting out. This has been seen in every other season not mentioned in the point above.
