Realistic TAR With Prize, Cohost

over 8 years

To the Survivor Lobby,

I am thinking of hosting a realistic TAR. It will consist of multiple legs, take place over the course of 1-2 weeks, and have breaks in between every 1-2 legs.

I'm still undecided whether or not this TAR will require duos or solo players.

You will need skype, access to the internet, and possibly access to a library or bookstore.

The prize will be $100 in the form of a gift card or something. If the TAR requires duos, then both players of the winning team will each receive the prize.

This post is to gauge interest in the TAR. I also require a cohost to develop the TAR with- If you are interested, PM me your application. The cohost will receive $50 at the end.

Application-

EM username:

Skype username:

Age:

What timezone are you?

Describe yourself with 3 words:

What can you bring to the table in regards to the development process?:

Show me how creative you are, go into detail regarding a twist or gameplay mechanic you could foresee being used within a TAR setting:

Are you willing to commit to a (potential) 1-2 month long planning period and game?:

Are you trustworthy?:

The application is for interested cohosts only, a separate application post will be made down the line for interested participants.

Don't forget to post on the page if you are interested in playing.

edit

I just got this in a pm: I was just wondering what I'd need to be able to do as a cohost and how much time I'd need to dedicate to this.

This is what I imagine the process will be like: You'll be spending a few hours a week just discussing the tar with me. We'll be talking about twists, how the game will progress, puzzles or game we would like to include, etc. What kind of players and the skills we think they will require for the tar. The logistics involved in running the tar. After these preliminary brainstorming and analysis sessions, we can go about actually designing each leg of the tar. During the build session, I would love to be able to leverage your specific talents, whether it be photoshop, song creation, video editting, computer science skills, etc. The more skills you have, the more interesting we can make this tar.

All in all, I want this to be a rewarding experience for both the players and the hosts. The most important trait for this tar to be successful will be your enthusiasm.

This sounds cool although if it's in 4-5 weeks I probably can't play since I'm gonna be gone like half the summer :(

I've never done something like this, so could someone who has please explain what the need is for Skype?


It's a vehicle for addressing potential problems in a quick fashion.

Also allows for all around faster communication between the host and the players.
