🦷🧚♀️
Sprixie: Hello, I'm one of the Sprixies from Super Mario 3D World and I'm doing a side-hustle as a tooth fairy because Nintendo's getting stingy with residuals. But I will not replace your tooth with a quarter unless you remember to submit weekend predictions by tonight at 11:59 PM PST or before Thursday preview numbers are announced. Here's the films you're predicting:
AIR: Courting a Legend
Dungeon and Dragons: Honor among Thieves
Mafia Mamma
The Pope's Exorcist
Renfield
Suzume
The Super Mario Bros. Movie
Thanks for the tooth and good luck!

TRIBAL COUNCIL #1
SLAM!: Welcome, Coops, to this season's first tribal council, where one of you will become the first player voted out of Survivor Mushroom Kingdom. How's everyone doing tonight?
Goldenhour36: Um... 'How's everyone doing?' At a tribal council? Really?
The Dark Alfred: Don't worry, Golden, just think about those good vibrations, man!
SLAM!: All right, it's time to vote.
The approach the voting booth.
DAJK: (strokes the pen) How I've missed you...
The Dark Alfred: Hang loose, er, while you get eliminated!
Goldenhour36: (contemplates intently about decision)
Morieris: I hate this part of the game!
Rorschach: (whistles while voting)
Rorschach returns to his seat.
SLAM!: Roxanne? You gonna vote?
Roxanne: No thanks.
SLAM!: ...Understood. Cue the music.
SLAM!: If anyone has an advantage and you would like to use it, now would be the time to do so.
DAJK: (strokes chin)
Morieris: (files nails)
Rorschach: (adjusts glasses)
SLAM!: Let's begin by revealing the second immunity winner:
SpoilerRorschach with 94.33%!
Confessional - Rorschach: Someone has to make sure the plan goes smoothly!
SLAM!: I'll read the votes. First vote:
SpoilerGoldenhour36
SLAM!: Second vote:
SpoilerMorieris
SLAM!: Third vote:
SpoilerRoxanne (self-vote)
SLAM!: Fourth vote:SpoilerRoxanne
SLAM!: First player eliminated from Survivor Mushroom Kingdom...
SpoilerROXANNE
SLAM!: That's three votes, that's enough, you need to bring me your torch.
The Dark Alfred: Dang, dude... That was a million dollar chicken parmesan...
Roxanne: And I have no regrets!
Roxanne brings her torch to SLAM!.
SLAM!: Roxanne? The tribe has spoken.
SLAM! snuffs the torch.
Roxanne: No hard feelings. Good luck everyone!
The tribe waves goodbye as Roxanne exits.
Confessional - Roxanne: Welp, it was fun while it lasted! See you on the other side!
SLAM!: Good night, Koopas.
The Koopas leave tribal council.
Confessional - DAJK: That was easy. Too easy... But I know better than most that Survivor is rarely, if ever, easy. I won't let my guard down just yet!
Post-Tribal Story Content
Spoiler@Ethan Hunt wakes up in a laboratory.
Ethan Hunt: Huh? What happened?
???: Ah! You're awake!
A scientist swivels around in his chair, revealing himself to be Professor E. Gadd.
Ethan Hunt: E. Gadd!
E. Gadd: I was able to get most of the poison out of your system. Turns out, that poison mushroom was more toxic than it was supposed to be.
Ethan Hunt: Wait a minute–
E. Gadd: The poison sapped water from your body, so I've attached a water system onto your back.
Ethan Hunt: A... Water system?!
F.L.U.D.D.: Power-up complete. Scanning and classifying subject data. Subject identified as Ethan Hunt. Data storage complete. I am F.L.U.D.D.--a Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device. I hope to be of assistance.
Ethan Hunt: (shocked Pikachu face)
E. Gadd: No need to come unglued, son! It'll only need this water supplement for about an episode's worth of time. Then you'll be good as new!
Ethan Hunt: I don't understand the science behind this...
(Suddenly, @Agafin enters.)
Agafin: Hey professor, here's that Wendy's Grilled Chicken Ranch Wrap you ordered...
Ethan Hunt: ...
Agafin: ...
E. Gadd: ...

@DAJK @The Dark Alfred @Goldenhour36 @Morieris @Rorschach @Roxanne
Attention Koopas!
The official deadline for Tuesday immunity predictions is 11:59 PM PST.
However, if you miss that date slightly, that's totally fine. I will not close submissions until the Tuesday estimates of the films you're predicting (DnD, John Wick, Scream, Super Mario) start getting announced on Wednesday morning.
Votes are due by 11:00 PM, the reason being that I can't post the tribal council until super late due to work! It'll be midnight at best. You'll wake up in the morning and see who got eliminated!
Good luck!

I somehow forgot to give you vital information yesterday! Everyone who participated last time unlocked a kart! Here's this week's cart:
KART UNLOCKED
THE B-DASHER
How will karts factor into the game? Don't worry about that yet. You will learn about the function of the karts in due time!
Oh, and just to let you know... There's a hidden message in the episode! No one has responded to the message yet! I won't tell you how it's in there, but it might require thinking outside the box! Message me privately with your answer, or if you have any questions about it!
@DAJK @The Dark Alfred @Goldenhour36 @Morieris @Rorschach @Roxanne
As for the Koopas Tuesday Immunity predictions will be due tonight, with the vote due tomorrow! Good luck!

*The survivors line up in front of exactly six warp pipes: a green pipe, a red pipe, a golden pipe, a green pipe, an orange pipe, and a magenta pipe.*
Mario: Hello! One of the things I love to do most with my life is travel down giant pipes, which is why today I’m passing that love onto you. So for the first challenge, please race through the pipes and enter your predictions, because Bowser’s Castle is on the other side of the flagpole and Princess Peach needs to be rescued. Only three players per pipe though, because their destinations can get cramped. Thanks, I’m gonna go play Tennis.
Cap: Wait… You’re not rescuing Peach yourself? You know what game you’re from, right?
Mario: Why do anything productive when you can just play tennis instead?
Rorschach: Hmm… Reminds me of a certain former president!
SLAM!: All right, survivors. Get into groups of three for each pipe and get ready to begin the challenge.
*While everyone’s getting ready, Reddroast elbow-bumps Jack Sparrow.*
Reddroast: Psst. Dude. Can you do me a favor?
Jack Sparrow: Uh… Sure! What’s up?
Reddroast: Can you give this letter to Ethan for me? It’s about what happened last time.
Jack Sparrow: Um… Okay!
*Jack Sparrow takes the letter.*
Reddroast: Heh heh heh…
Confessional – Jack Sparrow: So Reddroast hands me a letter, and I’m like, wow! I’ll surely get some airtime from this pivotal moment! Plus, it’s an opportunity for friendship! So I’ll deliver this letter to Ethan lickity-split!
Confessional – Reddroast: I’m counting on Jack Sparrow to deliver the letter to Ethan lickity-split. It has a special surprise…
SLAM!: All right. Can the groups of three line up at their preferred warp pipe?
*DAJK, The Dark Alfred, and Roxanne pick the Red Pipe.*
*Goldenhour36, Morieris, and Rorschach pick the Blue Pipe.*
*Ethan Hunt, Jack Sparrow, and Wrath pick the Golden Pipe.*
*Agafin, DetectiveAI, and JJ-8 pick the Green Pipe.*
*Asyulus, Cap, and Fancyarcher pick the Orange pipe.*
*Alex SciChannel, elcaballero, and Reddroast pick the Magenta pipe.*
SLAM!: The last tribe to make it to the flagpole will be sent to tribal council, so don’t dilly dally! Ready, set, go!
***
*Agafin, DetectiveAI, and JJ-8 warp to a land with lots of mushroom platforms.*
JJ-8: Woo! Mushroom platforms!
DetectiveAI: Is, uh… Is he always like this?
Agafin: I dunno, he wasn’t on last season.
JJ-8: I want to do backflips!
JJ-8 starts bouncing on the mushrooms and doing backflips.
DetectiveAI: It looks like…
Agafin: …a trampoline!
Agafin starts bouncing, and DetectiveAI follows.
JJ-8: Woohoo-WOAH!
JJ-8 bounces on the edge of a red mushroom, which sends him flying onto a green mushroom.
DetectiveAI: Wait. Stop bouncing.
The others stop and listen in.
DetectiveAI: We don’t want to bounce on the edges. Doing so could send us into the gorge.
Agafin: You’re right… I wouldn’t want to fall off this…
JJ-8: But I wanna bounce!
DetectiveAI: JJ-8. Listen to me.
JJ-8: Aah! Fine!
The three bounce carefully across the mushrooms.
Confessional – DetectiveAI: JJ-8 seems like an eager competitor, but he’s no use to the tribe if he falls to his death. So yeah.
Confessional – JJ-8: Can’t a man bounce on giant mushrooms if he wants to?!
Confessional – Agafin: DetectiveAI… I think I like the guy.

*Goldenhour36, Morieris, and Rorschach find themselves in an underground area filled with water.*
Goldenhour36: Glub?! <Are we underwater?!>
Rorschach: Glub glub… <SLAM’s gonna get sued for this.>
Morieris: Glub! <Guys! Look!>
A school of seven Cheep Cheeps swim by.
Morieris: Glub glub! <These are the cutest, plumpest fishies I’ve ever seen!>
Rorschach: Glub. <Sounds like SLAM got a letter or two from fans telling him to put more Cheep Cheeps in his show.>
Goldenhour36: Glub? <How do you know there were Cheep Cheeps last season?>
Rorschach: Glub! <I watched last season on TV!>
Goldenhour36: Glub. <Word. That’s what’s up.>
Morieris: Glub?! <Uh… That one doesn’t look so nice!>
A Cheep Cheep with spikes on it swims up to them.
Morieris: GLUB!! <Aah! Swim away!>
They swim away.
Confessional – Goldenhour36: Rorschach seems like a cool guy. And if he watched last season, that means he knows how dangerous of a player DAJK is…
Confessional – Morieris: Hold on, there’s water in my ear.
Confessional – Rorschach: Glub—I mean, I’m not sure if Morieris is cut out for the Tribe Leader position. To be fair, she did get scared of a fish just now…
***
*Alex SciChannel, elcaballero, and Reddroast find themselves in a rocky cave.*
Alex SciChannel: It looks to me like one of those underground Mario levels comprised of gemstones and such!
Reddroast: Yeah, and that’s probably exactly what it is.
elcaballero: Well, uh… I’ll lead the way I guess?
They march through the cave and come across one Hammer Bro, who throws hammers at them.
elcaballero: Shoot, uh… Let’s hide behind this rock!
They hide behind a rock. More hammers get thrown.
Alex SciChannel: Dang, he’s got a never-ending supply of hammers just about.
elcaballero: We need to think of a way to get past this guy, or we’ll never make it to the flagpole…
Reddroast: I know what I’ll do! I’ll jump out, he’ll throw them at me, and I’ll Matrix-dodge them!
Alex SciChannel: Well, yeah, that sounds pretty good to me.
elcaballero: And when he’s throwing hammers at Reddroast, I can run out there and tackle him to the ground. How’s that?
Alex SciChannel: That also sounds pretty good to me.
elcaballero: Okay, uh… Ready, set, go!
Reddroast jumps out and Matrix-dodges hammers. elcaballero hurries to the Hammer Bro and tackles him.
Confessional – AlexSciChannel: If they want to put themselves in danger, they can knock themselves out. I just said what I needed to say to guarantee that a hammer wouldn’t hit me.
Confessional – Reddroast: I’ll Matrix-dodge anything I need to if it means I survive to the end!
Confessional – elcaballero: Wow, I think I might be getting the hang of this leader thing…
***
*Ethan Hunt, Jack Sparrow, and Wrath find themselves in a paint studio. Wrath picks up a note and reads it aloud.*
Wrath: “Inspired by Mario Paint, this challenge tasks you with painting a canvas painting of a Mario character of your choice, after which you will gain access to a warp pipe that goes directly to the flagpole.” Well, that’s neat and all, but… I’m not very artsy.
Ethan Hunt: Neither am I, tbh.
Jack Sparrow: Ethan! Read this letter! Maybe it’ll help!
Ethan Hunt opens the envelope…
Spoiler“Ha ha! Poison mushroom! – Redd”
Confessional – Ethan Hunt: It’s quite an unpredictable move, I’ll give him that.
Wrath: So, uh… What now?
Jack Sparrow: Can I paint a picture? Pretty please? I got an arts degree from ECU!
Ethan Hunt: Uh… Knock yourself out.
Jack Sparrow mans the paint station.
Wrath: Psst, Ethan… What’s your game plan for this season?
Ethan Hunt: You’ve got balls of steel asking a player like me a question like that.
Wrath: Well, as far I’m concerned, there’s an old adage… “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.”
Ethan Hunt: What do you mean?
Wrath: It makes sense to me that the most cunning and ruthless players call a truce. We’ll predict each film together in a way that leaves the competition in the dust. What do you say?
Ethan Hunt considers… They shake hands.
Ethan Hunt: I like the way you think, Wrath.
Jack Sparrow: Guys! Look!
Jack Sparrow has finished a painting of Mario.
Jack Sparrow: I painted Mario!
Wrath: If you mean Mario’s distorted face from the Super Mario 64 select screen, I’d say you did a pretty good job.
Jack Sparrow: Wow! Thanks!
Wrath: …
Confessional – Ethan Hunt: I have no intention of sticking with his truce long-term…
Confessional – Wrath: If I must vote him out at any point, I won’t hesitate… Ha ha ha!
Confessional – Jack Sparrow: Won’t you look at that! I’m already making friends!

*DAJK, The Dark Alfred, and Roxanne find themselves in a jungle filled with Piranha Plants.*
DAJK: Looks like we’ll have to get through these Piranha plants to get to the flagpole!
The Dark Alfred: Say no more, bro!
The Dark Alfred stomps on the Piranha Plants’ heads, turning them into coins. DAJK dashes through the jungle with ease, jumping through the air and doing fancy corkscrews and backflips to avoid their jaws. They reach the other side of the jungle, but someone’s missing.
The Dark Alfred: Wait… Where’s what’s-her-name?
They turn and see Roxanne across the jungle, who’s seated at a dining table with Petey Piranha.
DAJK: Roxanne! Come on! We have a challenge to win!
Roxanne: You guys go on ahead, I’m having some Chicken Parmesan with Petey Piranha.
DAJK: But Roxanne! We won’t be the tribe that wins the challenge if you don’t participate!
Roxanne: But fellas. It’s Chicken Parmesan. With Petey Piranha.
The Dark Alfred: Dang, she’s got a point. Let’s go.
They leave Roxanne behind.
Roxanne: So, Petey. How’s your plant life?
Confessional – DAJK: I slayed that challenge, only for Roxanne to fall behind! I’m irritated!
Confessional – The Dark Alfred: I can’t complain, you know, we’re gonna lose a challenge, but, you know, that’s life, you know?
Confessional – Roxanne: The way I see it, if you have a chance to eat chicken parmesan with Petey Piranha, you take it. And let me tell you, that chicken parmesan was delicious!
***
*Asyulus, Cap, and Fancyarcher find themselves falling through the sky!*
Fancyarcher: What, uh, ah, AAH!
Cap: We’re falling!
Asyulus: We don’t have any parachutes!
Cap: You’re making it sound even worse!
Asyulus: You think it can get any worse?!
Fancyarcher: Quick! Grab those Propeller Mushrooms!
They touch the Propeller Mushrooms and gain the power-up from New Super Mario Bros. Wii where they’re now wearing Propeller suits.
Fancyarcher: Phew… Now we have an advantage. We can land right at the top of the flagpole with these on!
Bowser Jr. flies in on his Junior Clown Car.
Bowser Jr.: You think you can propel better than I can? I don’t think so!
Cap: Are you finished with all your math homework? I don’t think so!
Asyulus: Uh… Did you just insult Bowser’s only son?
Bowser Jr.: Waah! I’m telling my daddy on you! (flies away)
Asyulus: Great. Now Bowser’s mad at us.
Cap: Don’t care, tbh. A boy like Bowser Jr. should be doing his math homework. Bowser needs to be more responsible as his dad.
Fancyarcher: Oh, he’ll be responsible… At roasting our butts, that is!
Confessional – Asyulus: I like this propeller suit, but the helmet’s a little too big.
Confessional – Cap: What’s with all these Mario characters having apathetic attitudes?
Confessional – Fancyarcher: I admire Cap for her bravery, but we don’t know if we have to interact with Bowser this season! For all we know, Bowser could be hosting the very next competition!

elcaballero: Go team! Thank you guys! Especially you, Fancyarcher.
Fancyarcher: I can't take all the credit. Redd's mushroom might've made a real difference.
Reddroast: (winks)
Asyulus sees the wink and frowns.
Confessional - Asyulus: Well, there's a million [fictional] dollars on the line, but... Is it really worth poisoning other contestants for? I'm conflicted...
SLAM!: It looks like The Koopa Squad will be heading to tribal council this week. DAJK has individual immunity because he was first place in the tribe, but everyone else is in danger of being eliminated. Fortunately, there's a chance to win Second Immunity! More information in the dossier.
Oh, and now's a good time to remind players that the first time a player misses the weekend prediction, it's a warning... But the second time means that it's an automatic elimination! So @Roxanne you're not eliminated yet, but the next time you miss the weekend prediction, you will be eliminated as per the rules!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION DOSSIER
(Wario's Warehouse | Tribal Council | Weekend Challenge)
SpoilerWario's Warehouse
The Warehouse is officially open for business!
Every week, a subset of items will be on sale. Buy a quick boost now, or wait for something better down the road!
Red Mushroom - 3 Coins (Gives your weekend predictions a boost of 3%; this can also be used on another tribemate.)
Poison Mushroom - 3 Coins (Decrease a specific player's prediction average by 3%.)
Double Cherry - 6 Coins (Doubles your vote at tribal council.)
- you can only use one per tribal
Warp Pipe - 7 Coins (Copy another player's average score and use it as your own.)
Message me to buy any item you want, any time to want to buy it. To tell me that you're using an item you've bought, message me by the corresponding prediction deadline of the weekend challenge or tribal council you'll be using it for!
Coin Totals
Ways to Earn Coins:
- Highest Score out of Everyone (5)*
- Highest Score on a 1st Place Tribe (5)*
- Highest Score on a 2nd place tribe (4)*
- Highest Score on a 3rd place tribe (3)*

If you save yourself from elimination and also vote for whoever goes home, you would earn 5 coins, not six. And so on. Let me know if you have any questions.

🚦PANIC REMINDER 🚦
This is a PANIC REMINDER to remind anyone who hasn't sent in predictions yet to send in their weekend predictions by tonight at 11:59 PM PST. Don't PANIC if you miss that time by a little bit because I will accept predictions if they are before the announcement of the Thursday preview number. This is your FINAL REMINDER for this weekend, let me know if you have any questions, thank you and good luck!

Mario: Oh, hello there, I can’t talk much because I’m in the middle of a plumbing job, the toilets can’t plunge themselves after all, but I’m here to remind you on SLAM’s behalf that Weekend Predictions are due by tonight at 11:59 PM PST if you have not submitted predictions already. You can send them (to SLAM!) through forum PM or through Telegram, whichever one is more convenient. You can still submit if you’re a little bit late, but do try to be reasonable; I cannot accept predictions after Thursday preview numbers are announced. So the hard deadline for this weekend is whenever the Thursday preview numbers are announced. Thanks and good luck!

Rated R, but only for violence. I think they should've tried to get this a PG-13 rating instead.

We cut to inside the lobby of Peach's Castle.
SLAM!: Welcome back to the premiere episode of Survivor: Mushroom Kingdom. Let's watch the clips of this season's contestants reuniting and getting to know each other during the commercial break.
Cut to Asyulus, elcaballero, JJ-8, Rorschach, and Wrath.
JJ-8: Can you believe it? We're on Survivor again! WOOHOO!
Rorschach: I believe that's Mario's line.
Asyulus: It's been a while since I've been on a season. How different is it from then?
elcaballero: I mean, it's box office prediction. What's the worst that can happen?
Wrath: ...
Confessional - Wrath: This is a strong season. I can sense it. Now I just have to figure out how to get to the end...
Cut to Alex SciChannel, DetectiveAI, Jack Sparrow, and Roxanne.
Roxanne: I wish I lived in a castle like this... This place is decked out, especially with these paintings.
Alex SciChannel: From the looks of things, this will be a million bajillion times zanier than last season.
Jack Sparrow: Yo ho ho! Argh you ready!
DetectiveAI: Oh... We won't have to deal with pirate puns, will we?
Jack Sparrow: Oh, I didn't mean to annoy you! I'll maroon the puns... Er, ditch them.
DetectiveAI: Bah...
Jack Sparrow: ...
Confessional - Jack Sparrow: This is already much harder than I thought...
Cut to Cap, DAJK, Ethan Hunt, and Goldenhour36.
Cap: 😒
Ethan Hunt: 😐
Goldenhour36: 😤
DAJK: 🥴
Confessional - Cap: Ugh! I'm so over getting blindsided. This season, I'll make sure I'm not the blind-side-ee. They'll see I'm no Sandra.
Confessional - Goldenhour36: I need to find players that I can be loyal to. I know firsthand the danger of trusting the wrong players...
Confessional - DAJK: I, uh, might've been a little too villainous last time, ha ha...
Cut to Agafin, The Dark Alfred, Fancyarcher, Morieris, and Reddroast.
Reddroast: Ah, shoot. Here we go again.
Morieris: YAY! I've been DYING for a second chance, you guys!
The Dark Alfred: Make that two, for real, talkin' bout.
Fancyarcher: Good to see you again, my friend.
(Agafin nods back.)
Confessional - Agafin: This time... I won't hold back.
****
SLAM!: All right, so now that you've had a chance to reconnect... It's time to announce the teams. Toadsworth? I'll let you do the honors.
Toadsworth: Excelsior!
Toads come and bring out floating item blocks; one gold, one silver, one bronze.
Toadsworth: A few of you competed for a chance to become a tribe leader. Let's discover who the Tribe Leaders are! (the characters in the skit do not know who they are yet)
Toadsworth hits the gold block: "Morieris!"
Toadsworth hits the silver block: "Ethan Hunt!"
Toadsworth hits the bronze block: "elcaballero!"
Morieris's jaw drops. Ethan Hunt smirks. elcaballero breaks into a cold sweat.
Confessional - Morieris: (pumps fist in the air) YES YES YES! As a Tribe Leader, I can chart my way to success!
Confessional - Ethan Hunt: I mean, I'm a big player either way, I might as well capitalize on it.
Confessional - elcaballero: Oh dear. Um. I didn't expect to win this. gulps
Toadsworth: Can the Yoshi Devotees and the Survey Skippers stand in a row?
DetectiveAI, Reddroast, Rorschach, Asyulus, DAJK, and JJ-8 stand in a row.
Toadsworth: Morieris. Please choose one player from each group to join your team.
Morieris: Yay! I choose DAJK and Rorschach.
(DAJK and Rorschach exchange glances before joining Morieris.)
Toadsworth: Ethan Hunt. Please choose one player from each group to join your team.
Ethan Hunt: Uhh... JJ-8.
JJ-8: All right! (does a cart wheel)
Toadsworth: Your second choice, sir...
Ethan Hunt points to Reddroast, whose eyes light up... Before Ethan redirects his pointer finger toward DetectiveAI. Everyone gasps.
Ethan Hunt: DetectiveAI.
DetectiveAI points at himself like, "me?" Then he stands next to Ethan Hunt.
Confessional - DetectiveAI: Ethan Hunt picks me, and to be honest, I don't know what to think. He'd be a fantastic player to be allies with, but... Is it too good to be true?
Confessional - Ethan Hunt: (picks at his nails) Oh, I just needed to cover up my tracks cuz I beat Reddroast in that sudden death round last season...
Reddroast: (crosses his arms) 🤨
Confessional - Reddroast: He chose a newbie over me? I see how it is. But I won't worry about it. I'll make it through the merge and then vote him out! Then we'll see who gets the last laugh!
(And so begins the rivalry Hunt v. Roast.)
Toadsworth: Asyulus and Reddroast will join elcaballero.
They stand next to elcaballero, who nervously rubs the back of his head.
Confessional - Asyulus: So I end up being a third place pick, which makes me a little bit nervous... But you know what? Everyone loves a good underdog story. And I'll prove myself as the underdog to beat!
SLAM!: Tribe leaders. Please write down another name to secretly add one player to your tribe.
Morieris and Ethan Hunt write down names, but elcaballero hands in a blank piece of paper.
Confessional - elcaballero: I couldn't decide.
SLAM!: All right! Here's this season's tribes!

Magenta Toad: About that...
(Magenta Toad whispers to Toadsworth. He gasps.)
Toadsworth: She's been kidnapped!
Cap: Yeah, no s***. This is a Mario thing.
Toadsworth: Please rescue the princess! She must be somewhere in the Mushroom Kingdom!
SLAM!: Don't worry, Toadsworth. The contestants and I will travel all across the kingdom to search for Peach. But we'll have to vote some of them out along the way!
(Everyone groans.)
SLAM!: Please brush up on this
GENERAL INFORMATION...
SpoilerWario's Warehouse (earning coins)
The shop where players buy advantages used to be called the Tuck Shop... But this season, I've rebranded it, and it's now called WARIO'S WAREHOUSE. This is because Wario and Waluigi are the store managers.
Every player starts this season with five coins (in order to pay homage to Mario Party). You can earn coins by doing well in challenges or by doing impressive things (such as surviving) during Tribal Councils. Speaking of which:
***
Tribal Council Information
So once in a while, your tribe might lose the weekend challenge, and you'll have to send me your votes for which tribemate you want to eliminate. You'll also have a chance to win tribal immunity by winning a tribal prediction challenge; more information will be shared as it because more relevant to the game!
However, this season has a new rule inspired by other online Survivor games that I've been a part of. Starting this season, if a player doesn't tell me who they want to vote out, the game will interpret that as a self-vote... So not sending in a vote could lead to your downfall! So for tribal councils, please don't forget to vote!
Oh, and if you're on the tribe that goes to Tribal Council, but you've won individual immunity by being the tribe's highest scoring player, you still need to vote. Immune players who don't vote at tribal get a -10% deduction on their next weekend challenge score.
And here is this season's first
IMPORTANT INFORMATION DOSSIER
(Wario's Warehouse/Next Weekend Challenge)
SpoilerWario's Warehouse
The Warehouse is officially open for business!
Every week, a subset of items will be on sale. Buy a quick boost now, or wait for something better down the road!
Red Mushroom - 3 Coins (Gives your weekend predictions a boost of 3%; this can also be used on another tribemate.)
Poison Mushroom - 3 Coins (Decrease a specific player's prediction average by 3%.)
Double Cherry - 6 Coins (Doubles your vote at tribal council.)
- you can only use one per tribal
Warp Pipe - 7 Coins (Copy another player's average score and use it as your own.)
Message me to buy any item you want, any time to want to buy it. To tell me that you're using an item you've bought, message me by the corresponding prediction deadline of the weekend challenge or tribal council you'll be using it for!

I got this trailer in front of John Wick. It looks surprisingly cool, actually. Great production design.

Can we take Air seriously now? If it had a good box office run, the old-fashioned studio drama can certainly join in the conversation.
Specifically—if it had a good box office run.
And it may not need to perform *all that well,* but just simply be a minor hit to stay relevant in the Oscar race.
The Grand Budapest Hotel grossed $59M in 2014. That's about $75M domestic when adjusted for inflation.
Similarly, Everything Everywhere's gross was in the $50M range two months after its initial limited release; its lifetime domestic total currently stands at $76M.
So based on the box office of Oscar films with early release dates, I would want to see Air gross at least $70M before I seriously considered it as an awards player.
However, Grand Budapest and Everything Everywhere were more uniquely "indie" than Air is, and they were also up for more of the technical categories, while Air looks to be in contention for acting, screenwriting, and maybe picture (depending on competition). Is that package strong enough to sustain an early release? It was for Get Out (picture, director, actor and screenplay), though that was an even bigger hit with $176M domestic. I don't see Air scoring that big.
But if Air can get away with campaigning for a Comedy/Musical slot at the Globes, that will help the film find more visibility come awards season.

@Agafin @Alex SciChannel @Asyulus @Cap Says Roll A WIS Check @DAJK @The Dark Alfred @DetectiveAl @elcaballero @Ethan Hunt @Fancyarcher @Goldenhour36 @Jack Sparrow @JJ-8 @Morieris @Reddroast is Altaire @Rorschach @Roxanne @Wrath
The results for Tribe Leader Tussle are in!
I know I said that the winners would be kept secret, but I've just realized that if I want "tribe leaders" to be part of the story, then that means I can't leave it a secret! But I can at least keep their player picks a secret.
Anyways, not everyone played for a tribe leader role, but out of the six who played, three players tied for first place with four correct guesses each. I've decided use punctuality as a tie-breaker, namely whoever sent it in first gets first, etc. The winners are:
First Place: @Morieris
Second Place: @Ethan Hunt
Third Place: @elcaballero
I will message them soon to get the tribes in order, and the tribes will be announced during the premiere on Sunday.
Thank you to all who played Tribe Leader Tussle!

This is a reminder that the practice prediction and answers for Tribe Leader Tussle (both optional) are due by tonight at 11:59 PST.
If you can't accept PMs due to a cluttered inbox of forum messages, please delete some messages and/or send me a message so I can send you game information throughout the season.
Good luck to those playing TLT!

- Most players have sent in predictions, but there's still time if you haven't already!
- The players in at least one tribe still have a chance to earn the hidden message advantage!
