is such a fun gamemode! I never choose it as I always get jumped when I choose it, but whenever other people choose it or Standard Arena I'm super happy as they are my 2 favorite gamemodes to play!

Squid Games Episode 2! https://www.kovaze.com/blog/119776

Comment on this thread if you'd like to see yourself simulated in Season 13 of my simulation series! I will release this season on the group's thread page and on the blogs. You are welcome to join the group and view it there, and be added to the placement archive I have going on there: https://kovaze.com/group/15 This will be the first ever season of The Challenge! Looking for 24 players to be in this season, and the top 12 of this season will get an automatic invite back for the next Challenge season. You are allowed to tag up to 3 people to be on the season as well if you'd like. Newbies will be prioritized over alumni, however, if we do not get all newbies then it will go by order of alumni, and their time since last appearance in the series in general. The longer it's been since the last season you played, the higher priority you have. If you are an alumni and happen to sadly miss this season, I'll add you on the list of signups for next season with high priority. Signups will close May 8th, 9:00 PM KVT and will be released after Squid Game concludes.

71 Kovazians continue on fighting in Squid Games, still only one will leave alive. Hope ya'll enjoy Episode 2! I've included a short section of dormitory updates before the game begins. -------------------------------------------- Remaining Cast: Layos Dimitra Lover @Amandasings04 Arris Kimmie JessieKowalski theworldofjj CocoVanderbilt Rachellllll BIGBRYY99 Nora Christos hwest14 Hunter Jaded CasinoCheese Wyatt DK holly hausofkimchi Melodrama Nakime landobando Gabbes Luka camell22 Jaxx NaughtyNacho IceBeast Glinda biancabae Glacier @sobriquet BRAT Hauntedwaves Davit dumblonde Spikedcurley Maris YanderTron21 lolicapolica guib Brad joeburrow randomize Juulpod CarltonRS @venharim katheryn unfortunate @Tisha Kodua bim TheScreama Cristi heatherleigh Stayc dailyicon Nittany023 Womanizer Nenalala @MrsChloeKayCecci Paul LaMarrash muribolt bubba Dani Cherry Axel @Bagel -------------------------------------------- The lights in the dormitory cut out at exactly ten o'clock. Seventy-one people lie in stacked bunks, staring at ceilings, listening to each other breathe. Nobody sleeps easily. Some don't sleep at all. Melodrama and YanderTron21 are the last two still whispering in the dark — tucked into adjacent bunks on the third tier, voices low. They had moved in sync through the field. They had both made it. The unspoken bond between them had calcified into something real during Red Light, Green Light, and now they formalize it quietly, in the dark, with no witnesses. "We stay together," Melodrama says. "We stay together," YanderTron21 agrees. On the other side of the dormitory, Maris is awake and working. They have been awake since the lights went out — cycling through faces, cataloguing relationships, mapping threat levels. By midnight, they have approached Womanizer, Dimitra, and NaughtyNacho individually, each conversation brief and surgical. The pitch is the same each time: "we are the people who think. Everyone else is just reacting." All three nod. All three mean it differently. BRAT watches Maris move through the room from the shadow of an upper bunk and says nothing. Near the water station, @venharim sits alone on the cold floor, back against the wall, knees pulled to their chest. The weight of the field is still on them — the sounds of it, the smell of gunpowder on the air. Hauntedwaves notices and crosses the room silently, sitting down beside them without saying anything. They stay like that for nearly an hour. No words needed. Luka and Dani have claimed a corner bunk cluster and are in the middle of a surprisingly lively conversation about absolutely nothing — music, food, where they grew up. heatherleigh drifts over, then hausofkimchi, then Gabbes. The corner becomes the one pocket of warmth in the whole cold room. Kimmie finds Rachellllll and randomize in the corridor near the bathrooms, and the three of them exchange the kind of quiet, rapid-fire honesty that only emerges at two in the morning after surviving something traumatic together. By the time they go back to their bunks, something like an alliance exists — not named, not formal, just real. biancabae and Jaded are the opposite of subtle. They have been attached at the hip since the field, speaking openly — too openly, some feel — about who they trust and who they don't. joeburrow listens from one bunk over and stores every word. Christos, bubba, and Glacier form their own quiet cluster near the back of the room — three people who survived mostly through stillness and now find comfort in each other's company. There is no grand strategy discussed. Just presence. Just the acknowledgment that they are still here. CocoVanderbilt lies flat on their back on a lower bunk, eyes open, absolutely still, running calculations that nobody else in the room is running yet. They have clocked six separate social clusters already. They have identified four people they would trust with their life and eight they wouldn't trust with a spoon. They keep all of it behind a composed, unreadable expression. And in the far corner of the dormitory, alone by design, TheScreama stares out the small barred window at the facility's interior lights. They have barely spoken to anyone since the field. They are thinking about the thirty-four people who didn't make it through that door. They are thinking about what comes next. The lights flicker on at six. Another day begins. -------------------------------------------- Dalgona is a Korean street candy — a thin disc of honeycomb toffee pressed flat and stamped with a shape. In this game, each player receives a tin containing their dalgona disc and a single needle. The objective is to carve the stamped shape free from the surrounding candy without breaking it. If the shape cracks — elimination. Players may lick the candy to thin it, use the needle carefully, or attempt any technique they choose. There is a time limit. There are no second chances. Four shapes are available: the circle, the triangle, the star, and the umbrella. The shapes range in difficulty — the circle is the most forgiving, the umbrella the most punishing. -------------------------------------------- The 71 survivors file into a vast new arena — rows of individual booths stretching in all directions, each containing a single stool, a small table, and a sealed tin. At the front of each tin, a small tag. Players choose their shape before sitting down, and the choice is entirely their own. The selection is fast, instinctive, and in many cases — catastrophic. -------------------------------------------- 🔵 CIRCLE (18 players) Melodrama YanderTron21 Gabbes heatherleigh Luka hausofkimchi CarltonRS Juulpod Hunter IceBeast BIGBRYY99 hwest14 DK bim joeburrow Jaded Nenalala Nakime 🔺 TRIANGLE (18 players) camell22 @Bagel JessieKowalski Spikedcurley Cristi muribolt biancabae Womanizer Dimitra BRAT Maris NaughtyNacho Rachellllll randomize Kimmie theworldofjj Arris @Tisha ⭐ STAR (18 players) Cherry katheryn CocoVanderbilt Glacier Kodua Christos bubba Nora holly Dani dailyicon unfortunate Glinda @Amandasings04 Axel Brad Wyatt @sobriquet ☂️ UMBRELLA (17 players) CasinoCheese dumblonde @MrsChloeKayCecci landobando Davit Stayc lolicapolica Nittany023 Jaxx guib Lover Layos Paul @venharim LaMarrash Hauntedwaves TheScreama -------------------------------------------- A tone sounds. Seventy-one tins open at once. The smell of burnt sugar fills the arena. The game begins. Across the circle booths, the early mood is almost cautious optimism. The circle has a gentle curved edge and no sharp interior angles — most players figure this out within the first few minutes. Melodrama works with slow, deliberate needle strokes along the outer rim. YanderTron21 licks the underside methodically, thinning the candy before touching it with the needle at all. heatherleigh and Luka both settle into quiet, focused rhythms. hausofkimchi hums softly to themselves. Gabbes mouths something — maybe a prayer, maybe a count — with each delicate pass of the needle. In the triangle booths, the three sharp corners demand precision. Spikedcurley attacks the straight edges first, which is the right instinct. camell22 and @Bagel both work slowly and carefully, burning through the time limit but staying in control. Maris doesn't seem nervous at all — each needle stroke unhurried, almost clinical. biancabae bites their lip but keeps their hand steady. Kimmie takes a long, slow breath before starting and doesn't look up once. In the star booths, it becomes clear quickly that the five inward points are the problem. Licking helps. Patience helps more. Cherry maps the shape with their eyes before touching the needle to it — a full sixty seconds of study before they make a single mark. CocoVanderbilt begins with the points, counterintuitively, reasoning that the most likely breaking points should be addressed while the candy is still whole. Glacier and Christos both adopt licking strategies immediately, fogging the candy with breath and saliva until the disc becomes almost translucent. In the umbrella booths, the silence is different. The umbrella has a long straight handle, a curved dome, and two sharp angled corners where the dome meets the sides. It is not impossible — but it demands total composure and a hand that doesn't shake. @venharim steadies themselves with a long exhale before starting. Hauntedwaves grips the needle hard, then consciously loosens their fingers. TheScreama stares at the shape for a long time without moving. -------------------------------------------- Fifteen minutes in, the first murmurs of progress begin to spread through the circle section. DK lifts their nearly complete disc toward the light, checking the edges. IceBeast works steadily, making almost no errors. joeburrow has already licked an entire side of their circle smooth and is working the needle along the thinned edge with careful confidence. BIGBRYY99 is further along than almost anyone — moving quickly, not recklessly, with the kind of natural steadiness that looks almost unfair. In the triangle section, Womanizer nicks one corner and freezes — but the crack doesn't spread. They close their eyes for three seconds, then continue. Dimitra is working beautifully, each corner treated like surgery. theworldofjj and randomize are both locked in quiet focus. Rachellllll whispers something to themselves on every exhale — a rhythm, a mantra, something. Then — the first sound. A sharp, distinct crack. Everyone in the arena hears it. Heads don't turn. They don't dare. But every person feels it. In the circle section, Nenalala's disc has snapped — a clean break directly through the middle, nothing to be done. They stare at the two halves for a long moment, then set the needle down. The guards come. Quietly. Quickly. 71st — Nenalala. The booth is cleared. Not two minutes later, a second crack echoes through the circle section. Nakime had been making steady progress, but the final thin section near the bottom of the circle gave way under a slightly too-firm needle press. They look at the broken disc in their palm, take a breath, and don't fight it. 70th — Nakime. In the circle booths, the remaining sixteen press on with even greater care. bim has barely progressed — working almost painfully slowly — but the disc is intact. Juulpod licks the candy until it practically disappears and guides the needle through what remains almost effortlessly. CarltonRS and Hunter are both in good shape, methodical and controlled. -------------------------------------------- Over in the triangle section, the early clean work begins to fray at the edges — literally. Arris had reached the final corner — so close — but the angle proved too sharp for the amount of candy still remaining. The corner piece cracked away and took part of the triangle wall with it. A frustrated exhale. The guards approach. 69th — Arris. The triangle section tightens. Everyone slows down. BRAT presses their lips together and works the needle in half-millimeter increments. NaughtyNacho licks the underside again and again, refusing to use the needle until the disc is thin enough to see through. Minutes later — @Tisha. Their triangle had been coming apart slowly — a hairline fracture that had been spreading since the thirty-minute mark, invisible until the moment it wasn't. The disc splits in three pieces simultaneously. 68th — @Tisha. The remaining sixteen triangle players exhale collectively. Sixteen still in. And the booths go quiet again. -------------------------------------------- In the star section, the inward points are claiming their first victims. dailyicon had been working one of the inner angles too aggressively — the needle slipped and drove straight through. A clean puncture hole that rendered the shape unsalvageable. 67th — dailyicon. Then unfortunate — one of the inner points had been thinned too much during a licking pass. When the needle grazed it, it crumbled. 66th — unfortunate. The star section is visibly shaken now. Glinda works with excruciating slowness but the inner angles have been resistant to every technique tried. The disc finally gives at the worst possible moment — the very last point, nearly free. 65th — Glinda. @Amandasings04 is next. Their star had come so far — all five outer edges free, only the inner connectors remaining. But the candy had dried and thinned unevenly, and the final connection point gave without warning. 64th — @Amandasings04. Four gone from the star section in rapid succession. The remaining fourteen grip their needles tighter. Cherry works with such deliberate slowness that they look almost frozen. CocoVanderbilt doesn't change their pace at all — measured, architectural, point by point. Glacier and Christos both have significant portions of their stars free now, the licking strategy paying dividends. bubba and Nora are in the middle ground — plenty of work still to do, disc still intact. Then — Axel. A slip. A crack through the star's center that no technique could have prevented — the disc had simply dried unevenly and there was nothing to be done. 63rd — Axel. Brad follows within minutes — an inner angle punctured clean through by a needle press that landed three millimeters off target. 62nd — Brad. Wyatt holds on longer than most expect — their star is nearly complete when a small exterior chip sends a fracture racing inward. The disc breaks in two. 61st — Wyatt. And @sobriquet — the last of the star section casualties — works all the way to the final outer edge before a piece simply falls away unprompted. They blink. Set the needle down. The guards come. 60th — @sobriquet. Ten players remain in the star section. Cherry, katheryn, CocoVanderbilt, Glacier, Kodua, Christos, bubba, Nora, holly, and Dani — still working, still intact, pressing through the home stretch. -------------------------------------------- In the umbrella section, the toll begins. The umbrella is slow violence — it doesn't break you all at once. It chips and cracks and splinters until the shape simply ceases to exist. The handle is deceptively easy. The dome is manageable. It is the transition points — where curved meets straight, where dome becomes handle — that claim them one by one. @MrsChloeKayCecci is the first to go. The left transition point of the dome cracked during a lateral needle stroke. Nothing dramatic. Just a quiet fracture that widened on its own. 59th — @MrsChloeKayCecci. landobando — their handle snapped clean off. It had been the thinnest part of the disc and they had over-licked it without realizing. 58th — landobando. Davit — a piece of the dome broke inward when the needle caught an air bubble in the candy. They stared at it for a long time before setting everything down. 57th — Davit. Stayc — the right transition point. Gone in an instant. 56th — Stayc. lolicapolica — had been making beautiful progress on the dome, thinning it to near transparency, when the entire curved section detached from the handle in one piece. Technically a clean separation — but not the right one. 55th — lolicapolica. Nittany023 worked methodically and without panic all the way until the very final curve of the dome. The needle went through. 54th — Nittany023. Jaxx — their handle cracked at the midpoint, and the rest of the disc followed seconds later. 53rd — Jaxx. guib — both transition points gave simultaneously. The dome lifted off whole and then shattered on the table. 52nd — guib. The umbrella section is now in freefall. Eight gone. Nine remain — and among them the tension is almost physically visible. Needles trembling. Breaths held for thirty, forty seconds at a time. Lover — so close. The handle was free. The dome was nearly free. A single thin connection remained and the needle, in a moment of devastating bad luck, found it. 51st — Lover. Layos — their disc had been drying faster than the others. By the time the dome was thinned enough to work, the candy had become brittle. It fractured in four places at once. 50th — Layos. Paul — works all the way to the final minutes before the right transition point gives. They close their eyes. Exhale. The guards come. 49th — Paul. @venharim — perhaps the most difficult elimination to watch. They had been working with a surgeon's precision, licking and carving in turns, and their umbrella had looked complete — had looked complete — until they lifted it and the handle separated from the dome mid-air. Two perfect pieces. Neither of them passing. 48th — @venharim. LaMarrash — a deep breath, a steady hand, and then a crack that came from nowhere in the left dome section. Nothing could have predicted it. Nothing could have stopped it. 47th — LaMarrash. Three remain in the umbrella section. CasinoCheese, dumblonde, and Hauntedwaves. Hauntedwaves is the furthest along — but the dome's final curve is still attached, and the time is nearly gone. Their hands are shaking visibly now. The needle dips. Catches. The disc splits. 46th — Hauntedwaves. Two remain. CasinoCheese and dumblonde — the last two players standing in the umbrella section, in an arena where fifteen of their seventeen booth-mates have already been taken out. Both of them working in silence. Both of them still intact. Then — CasinoCheese lifts their umbrella whole. Clean. Perfect. Thirty seconds later, dumblonde does the same. The guards don't come for either of them. -------------------------------------------- Across the arena, the remaining survivors complete their shapes in ones and twos. The circle section nearly sweeps — Melodrama, YanderTron21, Gabbes, heatherleigh, Luka, hausofkimchi, CarltonRS, Juulpod, Hunter, IceBeast, BIGBRYY99, hwest14, DK, bim, joeburrow, and Jaded all advance. The triangle section closes out its final players — camell22, @Bagel, JessieKowalski, Spikedcurley, Cristi, muribolt, biancabae, Womanizer, Dimitra, BRAT, Maris, NaughtyNacho, Rachellllll, randomize, Kimmie, and theworldofjj all carve through. And the survivors of the star section — Cherry, katheryn, CocoVanderbilt, Glacier, Kodua, Christos, bubba, Nora, holly, and Dani — all pass. The final tone sounds. Silence. Then a guard's voice over the intercom, flat and emotionless: "Players who have completed their shape — please proceed to the exit." Forty-four people stand up. Twenty-seven do not. -------------------------------------------- Remaining Cast: Kimmie hausofkimchi joeburrow holly heatherleigh theworldofjj muribolt Kodua CocoVanderbilt NaughtyNacho hwest14 JessieKowalski Melodrama CasinoCheese IceBeast Cherry Hunter Rachellllll DK @Bagel dumblonde CarltonRS Spikedcurley Womanizer Dimitra BRAT Jaded Maris Cristi Dani katheryn bim Juulpod YanderTron21 randomize Nora biancabae bubba Luka Christos camell22 BIGBRYY99 Gabbes Glacier -------------------------------------------- If you've gotten this far, I hope you enjoyed this blog!

Hello!! Just got home to my switch as I moved back from college today and playing Tomodachi Life for first time. I need suggestions for what celebrities to add, I’ll update later on if I add em!

105 Kovazians enter this Squid Game arena, but only one will leave alive! I've divides this series up into six episodes, with one game in each. Thanks to everyone who signed up and hope everyone enjoys Episode 1! -------------------------------------------- Remaining Cast: BIGBRYY99 Womanizer @MrsChloeKayCecci thewoman brookie holly heatherleigh catpiss dailyicon Layos Nittany023 LaMarrash Rachellllll Axel theworldofjj landobando Rafo Davit Cristi Nenalala @venharim CocoVanderbilt adam randomize Cherry Paul Lover Tester bim Spikedcurley Scarlet YanderTron21 Wyatt Cray Cinnamon Jaxx TonyT Hunter Hauntedwaves CasinoCheese @Tide Juulpod camell22 @Amandasings04 @dakota torimarie Kodua lolicapolica Envious Dimitra biancabae Glinda Cleiton14 Marquis Nora hausofkimchi @Tisha Jaded Christos skinny joeburrow Marwane jadennator1 PureEssence @melanie @Mittens Luxray hwest14 Jdaddy IceBeast Arris JTee @Bagel katheryn CarltonRS NaughtyNacho daze Ivan Melodrama unfortunate dumblonde itsamodernlife James Brad Burgz DK JessieKowalski Gabs Gabbes Stayc guib BRAT Kimmie bubba Ribs Glacier Nakime Maris muribolt Dani TheScreama Luka Queenie Jordie @sobriquet -------------------------------------------- Red Light, Green Light is a children's game deceptively simple in concept. Players must move toward the finish line when the signal is green, and freeze completely when it turns red. Any movement detected during a red light means instant elimination. In this version of the game, the field stretches nearly the length of a football pitch. A towering mechanical doll stands at the far end, her head rotating away to signal green and snapping back to signal red. Players must cross the finish line within the time limit, or be eliminated. -------------------------------------------- The heavy steel doors grind open and 105 players pour out onto the field, blinking into the harsh flood of stadium lights. Some laugh nervously. Some go immediately quiet. The sheer scale of the arena hits like a wall — the green field stretches endlessly ahead, and at the far end, the doll stands motionless, her back turned. For a brief, almost peaceful moment, no one moves. Then her song begins. "Mugunghwa kkochi pieot seumnida—" GREEN LIGHT. The field erupts. 105 pairs of feet hit grass as the crowd surges forward. Melodrama and YanderTron21 move in sync near the left flank, clearly having made a silent pact before the doors even opened. @venharim pushes steadily forward in the center, eyes locked on the doll, jaw set. NaughtyNacho and Rachellllll move together through the thick of the pack. Maris drifts toward the left edge, carving their own path away from the crowd. Womanizer and Dimitra advance steadily side by side. Near the back of the starting cluster, Luxray hesitates — half a second too long off the line, already behind the main group before the first red light even arrives. RED LIGHT. The doll's head snaps around. 105 people freeze. The stadium falls utterly silent except for the sound of heavy breathing. For a moment — nothing. Then a faint whirring. A targeting sound. A sharp crack. Luxray is hit. They crumple to the ground before they even have time to process what happened. The field erupts in gasps. Some players flinch at the noise. Others stare straight ahead, refusing to look. 105th place — Luxray. Eliminated on the first red light. -------------------------------------------- GREEN LIGHT. The crowd surges again — shakier now, the reality of what this is fully sinking in. IceBeast moves with quiet efficiency near the right corridor, head down. Glacier and hwest14 navigate side by side near the left edge. BRAT pushes hard through the center. biancabae moves confidently, eyes tracking the doll. Jaded and joeburrow advance together near the middle. Toward the back, jadennator1 stumbles slightly on uneven grass — and when the doll turns back, the stumble registers. RED LIGHT. jadennator1 goes down immediately, eliminated mid-fall. 104th place — jadennator1. The field is quieter now. Nittany023 exhales shakily but holds perfectly still. lolicapolica closes their eyes and doesn't move a muscle. @sobriquet stares dead ahead, arms frozen mid-swing. -------------------------------------------- GREEN LIGHT. A larger wave pushes forward. CarltonRS, Kodua, and Juulpod find space near the right side and make significant ground. Spikedcurley stays measured, moving with long deliberate strides. Dani and hausofkimchi advance together through the center. heatherleigh moves efficiently, not rushing but covering ground well. theworldofjj and Nora push methodically through the middle. Deeper in the pack, itsamodernlife starts moving a beat late and never quite finds their stride. They are still in motion when — RED LIGHT. Three shots in rapid succession. itsamodernlife, @melanie, and brookie — all caught moving within the same red light window. Three bodies hit the grass almost simultaneously. Several players nearby flinch hard but hold their ground. 103rd — itsamodernlife. 102nd — @melanie. 101st — brookie. @MrsChloeKayCecci squeezes their eyes shut. Glinda presses their lips together. @Tisha doesn't react at all — they simply stare forward. -------------------------------------------- GREEN LIGHT. muribolt and bim surge forward on the left flank. randomize and Kimmie push steadily through the center. Hauntedwaves and LaMarrash advance in tandem. TheScreama pushes through the left corridor. holly keeps steady ground near the middle. Rafo has been moving slightly erratically since the start — overcorrecting, stopping too hard, starting too fast. They clip Tester trying to find their footing. When the doll turns — RED LIGHT. The contact between them causes just enough residual motion. Both go down. 100th — Rafo. 99th — Tester. A ripple of dread moves through the field. Stayc visibly swallows. Davit steadies himself and locks his legs. landobando stares at the two bodies on the ground and breathes. -------------------------------------------- GREEN LIGHT. Cherry, katheryn, and CocoVanderbilt advance through the right corridor with careful, deliberate strides. Hunter moves near the center with quiet confidence. Paul, Layos, and Lover push steadily forward. guib and Jaxx advance side by side. At the back of the field, thewoman panics — barely a quarter of the way across and the time pressure mounting. They break into a near-sprint on the green light. When the doll turns — RED LIGHT. They are moving too fast to stop cleanly. thewoman goes down. Right behind them, daze — who had been following closely — cannot brake in time and is flagged as well. Seconds later, the targeting system locks onto Cleiton14, who had lurched forward instinctively at the sound of the shots. 98th — thewoman. 97th — daze. 96th — Cleiton14. Axel watches from a frozen standstill and doesn't breathe for what feels like a full minute. -------------------------------------------- GREEN LIGHT. The field has thinned noticeably now. The remaining players spread out across the grass, finding more space, more room to move. @venharim has made it well past the halfway marker. Luka surges forward through the center. Cristi pushes into the front third. BIGBRYY99 pumps their arms hard, making up significant ground. Christos and bubba advance steadily together. adam makes a confident stride toward the three-quarter mark. But their second step lands unevenly, and their arms swing out for balance just as the doll begins to turn. RED LIGHT. adam is caught. They barely have time to exhale. Right beside them, @dakota — startled by the shot — flinches. It is the smallest motion. Almost nothing. But it is enough. 95th — adam. 94th — @dakota. Wyatt freezes so hard they are practically vibrating. Brad presses themselves still like stone. -------------------------------------------- GREEN LIGHT. Players who have made it past halfway begin to feel it — the finish line is visible now. The tension shifts. Gabbes and Cherry push into the front group. @Bagel and JessieKowalski have already settled into a smooth rhythm near the front of the pack. Womanizer and Dimitra continue their steady advance. BRAT surges forward through the center. In the mid-field, a cluster of players who have been moving conservatively suddenly realizes the time pressure. Cray, Envious, and Marquis all accelerate — too much, too fast. RED LIGHT. All three are caught in motion. The shots come in a burst. 93rd — Cray. 92nd — Envious. 91st — Marquis. unfortunate watches from a still crouch and doesn't move a centimeter. dailyicon stares ahead, jaw clenched. -------------------------------------------- GREEN LIGHT. The front runners begin making their final approach. Spikedcurley, Cristi, and @Bagel are nearly at the line. Behind them, a large cluster pushes hard through the final stretch. muribolt and bim advance on the left. randomize and Kimmie push forward together. Nittany023 exhales and moves. In the middle section, PureEssence misjudges the distance and overruns — still moving when the signal changes. JTee catches a ripple of panic from nearby players and flinches forward. catpiss stumbles on a divot in the grass and the motion is flagged instantly. RED LIGHT. Three more down. 90th — PureEssence. 89th — JTee. 88th — catpiss. Arris holds perfectly still. Nakime breathes slowly through their nose. Nenalala doesn't blink. -------------------------------------------- GREEN LIGHT. Paul, Layos, and Lover push toward the front. guib and Jaxx advance steadily. Dani stays close behind Luka as both push toward the line. @venharim surges into the final third, eyes fixed ahead. Toward the back, torimarie loses their footing completely — a full slip on the grass — and hits the ground moving. The system doesn't distinguish between a fall and a step. James had been running just behind them. The sound of the elimination sends them stumbling sideways. skinny, sandwiched between both of them, reacts and is flagged. 87th — torimarie. 86th — James. 85th — skinny. @Amandasings04 watches the three bodies and presses their eyes shut for exactly one second. Then the light goes green again and they move. -------------------------------------------- GREEN LIGHT. The final stretch. Players pour toward the finish line in waves. heatherleigh crosses. Cristi crosses. YanderTron21 crosses. Melodrama makes it across. One by one, survivors begin spilling past the line — safe, alive, hands on knees, gasping. But the field is not clear yet. Queenie has spent the entire game moving conservatively — too conservatively. They are behind where they need to be with the clock running down. They break into a desperate sprint on the green light. When the doll turns — RED LIGHT. They were so close. Right beside them, @Tide had been running parallel, caught in the same desperate final push. They freeze, but their momentum carries one foot forward. Ribs panics at the sound of the shot and shifts their weight — flagged. 84th — Queenie. 83rd — @Tide. 82nd — Ribs. hausofkimchi, already past the line, turns back and covers their mouth. -------------------------------------------- GREEN LIGHT. The final wave. The remaining players on the field sprint now — there is no time for caution, only speed. Wyatt makes it. Brad makes it. Axel crosses. @Amandasings04 crosses. Glinda crosses. unfortunate makes it past the line. dailyicon pushes through. @Tisha crosses. Arris makes it. Nakime and Nenalala both cross within seconds of each other. But for a handful of players still in the back half of the field, the clock is nearly gone. Burgz is sprinting full speed toward the line when the doll snaps back mid-stride. They are caught fully running. 81st — Burgz. Two seconds later — @Mittens freezes perfectly on a red light, but the inertia in their upper body continues. The slight sway is enough. 80th — @Mittens. Scarlet is feet from the finish line. They can almost touch it. The doll turns. They stop. But their breathing is visible — their shoulders heaving — and the system, calibrated to detect the smallest motions, finds them. 79th — Scarlet. -------------------------------------------- GREEN LIGHT — FINAL SEQUENCE. The clock is in its final seconds. The last cluster of players drives forward in a full sprint. Most make it. Stayc crosses the line. Davit crosses. landobando bursts through. @MrsChloeKayCecci makes it. @sobriquet crosses. Lover crosses. dumblonde slides across the line just ahead of the signal change. camell22 crosses right behind them. Gabs is sprinting full speed and doesn't quite make the line before the doll turns. They skid to a halt — but the skid itself is motion. 78th — Gabs. Right behind them, Marwane dives forward at the final second — trying to slide across the line. They make contact with the finish marker, but the dive is flagged before the crossing registers. 77th — Marwane. TonyT and Cinnamon are running side by side in the final seconds. TonyT makes it across. They turn back — Cinnamon is one step behind them. The doll snaps around. Cinnamon is still moving. 76th — TonyT. 75th — Cinnamon. A scream breaks from somewhere near the finish line. -------------------------------------------- The clock hits zero. The doll's song stops. On the far end of the field, the doors open and the survivors flood through — collapsing against walls, gripping each other, some crying, some laughing in disbelief. But on the field — three players remain. The system has not yet closed. The doll makes one final rotation. Jordie had frozen at the halfway mark and never moved again out of pure terror. They are still standing in the middle of the field, perfectly still, as the doors begin to close. A guard approaches. The doll turns. Ivan, a few meters behind Jordie, had been crawling forward on their hands and knees for the final minutes — inching toward survival. Their hand is still moving. Both are flagged in the same sweep. 74th — Jordie. 73rd — Ivan. One player remains on the field. Jdaddy stands completely alone in the center of the arena. They had made it more than halfway across before their legs gave out — not from a hit, not from a mistake, but from sheer overwhelming fear. They sank to their knees during a green light, unable to move. Unable to stand back up. They stayed there, kneeling in the middle of the field, as everyone around them either crossed the line or was eliminated. The doors to the safe zone are sealed. The guards walk onto the field. Jdaddy doesn't run. 72nd — Jdaddy. -------------------------------------------- Remaining Cast: Layos Dimitra Lover @Amandasings04 Arris Kimmie JessieKowalski theworldofjj CocoVanderbilt Rachellllll BIGBRYY99 Nora Christos hwest14 Hunter Jaded CasinoCheese Wyatt DK holly hausofkimchi Melodrama Nakime landobando Gabbes Luka camell22 Jaxx NaughtyNacho IceBeast Glinda biancabae Glacier @sobriquet BRAT Hauntedwaves Davit dumblonde Spikedcurley Maris YanderTron21 lolicapolica guib Brad joeburrow randomize Juulpod CarltonRS @venharim katheryn unfortunate @Tisha Kodua bim TheScreama Cristi heatherleigh Stayc dailyicon Nittany023 Womanizer Nenalala @MrsChloeKayCecci Paul LaMarrash muribolt bubba Dani Cherry Axel @Bagel -------------------------------------------- If you've gotten this far, I hope you enjoyed this blog!

A record-breaking 18 castaways embark on a journey through Season 12! Here's a look at the cast. Veterans: Maris S5-9th @Jordan009 S5-11th, S7-11th, S8-10th, S11-6th Glinda S6-1st joshgillespie S7-9th, S9-9th, S11-9th BRAT S8-5th Justini S9-11th, S11-8th Hunter S10-2nd MaxOra S10-6th @venharim S11-4th @Kallie S11-10th Zach S11-11th IronMuffin S11-16th Newbies: Leonardo Sparrow @Sprite Varth_ death_metal Nebula -------------------------------------------- MALAITA: Justini Sparrow Varth_ @Jordan009 Maris BRAT Zach @Sprite @Kallie CHOISEUL: IronMuffin Glinda joshgillespie Hunter MaxOra death_metal @venharim Nebula Leonardo -------------------------------------------- EPISODE 1 - FINAL 18 TRIBES: Malaita Justini Sparrow Varth_ @Jordan009 Maris BRAT Zach @Sprite @Kallie - Zach wastes no time, rallying camp within hours of arriving on the beach. Before the first fire is lit, he's quietly pulled Maris, Jordan009, and Sprite into an early four-person power alliance. - Kallie withdraws from the group almost immediately, spending most of Day 1 alone near the water. The tribe notices the distance before a single challenge is played. Choiseul IronMuffin Glinda joshgillespie Hunter MaxOra death_metal @venharim Nebula Leonardo - IronMuffin nearly single-handedly constructs the tribe shelter by nightfall, earning instant credibility and a wave of goodwill from his tribemates. - venharim works the flint for over an hour until fire finally catches, while Leonardo jokes around from the sidelines instead of helping — an early impression that quietly irritates Glinda and Nebula. IMMUNITY WINNER: Choiseul TRIBAL COUNCIL: 1st Vote: Maris 2nd Vote: @Kallie 3rd Vote: Maris 4th Vote: Maris 5th Vote: @Kallie 6th Vote: @Kallie 7th Vote: @Kallie 8th Vote: @Kallie 9th Vote: @Kallie 18th: @Kallie -------------------------------------------- EPISODE 2 - FINAL 17 TRIBES: Malaita Justini Sparrow Varth_ @Jordan009 Maris BRAT Zach @Sprite - Justini and Sparrow stay up long past midnight talking by the fire — discovering they share the same humor, the same instincts, and the same ambitions. An unspoken alliance forms before either says the word. - Varth_ attempts to float between Zach's alliance and the rest of the tribe, avoiding commitment on all sides. Maris watches him carefully, already filing him away as a wildcard to manage. Choiseul IronMuffin Glinda joshgillespie Hunter MaxOra death_metal @venharim Nebula Leonardo - Leonardo drags his feet on camp duties, leaving Hunter and death_metal to haul firewood and boil water on their own. Their patience begins to fray. - Nebula approaches Glinda for a quiet one-on-one, floating the idea of a women's duo and pointing to Leonardo's poor work ethic as a shared concern worth acting on.

The real move is hiding behind the concern. - Justini ignites a camp-wide blowup over rice portions, accusing someone of taking more than their share. The tribe splits between amusement and irritation — the first real taste of Justini's explosive personality. Choiseul IronMuffin Glinda joshgillespie Hunter MaxOra death_metal @venharim Nebula - IronMuffin nearly wins the reward challenge single-handedly, hauling in a supply of tools and fresh food for the tribe. - venharim quietly mediates a bubbling dispute between death_metal and joshgillespie over camp duties, defusing the tension and earning quiet trust from both sides. IMMUNITY WINNER: Choiseul TRIBAL COUNCIL: 1st Vote: Maris 2nd Vote: Zach 3rd Vote: Zach 4th Vote: Zach 5th Vote: Zach 6th Vote: Zach 7th Vote: Zach 8th Vote: Zach 16th: Zach -------------------------------------------- EPISODE 4 - FINAL 15 TRIBES: Malaita Justini Sparrow Varth_ @Jordan009 Maris BRAT @Sprite - With Zach eliminated, Maris seizes full control. Jordan009 and Sprite move through camp like loyal soldiers — doing her bidding without question. Nobody misses the power dynamic, but nobody says a word. - Varth_ and Sparrow get into their first real argument over sleeping arrangements in the shelter. The confrontation is brief but loaded. Neither backs down. The bad blood settles in. Choiseul IronMuffin Glinda joshgillespie Hunter MaxOra death_metal @venharim Nebula - IronMuffin wins a second straight reward challenge for the tribe, hauling in food supplies and sending morale on Choiseul sky-high. - venharim spends a stormy night keeping watch over a struggling MaxOra, sharing extra rations and staying up with him until dawn. The tribe wakes to find venharim still sitting beside him, and quiet admiration spreads across camp. IMMUNITY WINNER: Choiseul TRIBAL COUNCIL: 1st Vote: BRAT 2nd Vote: Maris 3rd Vote: BRAT 4th Vote: Maris 5th Vote: BRAT 6th Vote: BRAT 7th Vote: BRAT 15th: BRAT -------------------------------------------- EPISODE 5 - FINAL 14 TRIBES: Malaita Justini Sparrow Varth_ @Jordan009 Maris @Sprite - With BRAT gone, Sprite and Jordan009 move through camp like executors — useful only as Maris's numbers, and both seem to quietly know it. Neither has made a move toward their own game. - Justini and Sparrow steal away from camp for the afternoon. Out of earshot, they lay out their post-merge vision: survive to the swap, build new allies, and eventually cut Maris's legs out from under her. Choiseul IronMuffin Glinda joshgillespie Hunter MaxOra death_metal @venharim Nebula - IronMuffin leads Choiseul to their fourth straight immunity win, his physical dominance now a quiet source of anxiety even within his own tribe. - Nebula maps the full social landscape of Choiseul, sitting down individually with death_metal and Hunter to plant seeds of a tighter post-merge group — without ever naming an alliance. IMMUNITY WINNER: Choiseul TRIBAL COUNCIL: 1st Vote: Maris 2nd Vote: @Sprite 3rd Vote: @Sprite 4th Vote: @Sprite 5th Vote: @Sprite 6th Vote: @Sprite 14th: @Sprite -------------------------------------------- EPISODE 6 - FINAL 13 TRIBES: Malaita Justini Sparrow Varth_ @Jordan009 Maris - After finally snapping Choiseul's immunity streak, Justini celebrates with full theatrical flair — dancing around the fire and narrating the moment as if it's already being remembered. The remaining four laugh, though some roll their eyes. - Varth_ and Sparrow's feud resurfaces during the post-win debrief. Varth_ points a finger at Sparrow for a near-costly mistake in the challenge. Sparrow fires back. Neither budges. Choiseul IronMuffin Glinda joshgillespie Hunter MaxOra death_metal @venharim Nebula - Nebula pulls death_metal, Hunter, MaxOra, and joshgillespie together as "the five" and frames her case quietly: venharim is a hero story on legs — too well-liked to sit next to at a jury. She presents it as protecting everyone's game, not just her own. - venharim senses an energy shift when he returns to camp from the water well. He seeks out IronMuffin for reassurance and gets only a distracted, vague response. That night, he sits alone by the dying fire, staring into the embers. IMMUNITY WINNER: Malaita TRIBAL COUNCIL: 1st Vote: @venharim 2nd Vote: @venharim 3rd Vote: @venharim 4th Vote: @venharim 5th Vote: @venharim 6th Vote: @venharim 7th Vote: @venharim 8th Vote: Nebula 13th: @venharim -------------------------------------------- EPISODE 7 - FINAL 12 GUADALCANAL Justini Sparrow Varth_ @Jordan009 Maris IronMuffin Glinda joshgillespie Hunter MaxOra death_metal Nebula - The twelve survivors arrive to find a merge feast spread across the Guadalcanal beach. Handshakes and laughter fill the afternoon — but within the hour, every smile at the table has a hidden agenda running underneath it. - Maris works the Choiseul members individually, pulling each one aside to paint Nebula as the quiet mastermind who ran old Choiseul from day one — an attempt to destabilize the majority before it can lock in. - At the feast, a minor dispute over seating sends Justini into a tearful, dramatic outburst in front of the entire group. She erupts at joshgillespie before Sparrow steps in to defuse it. Later, Sparrow whispers: "We play together. We win together." - IronMuffin and Nebula reconnect over the spread and come to a quiet understanding: let old Malaita crash into the numbers wall first. Old Choiseul holds together — and then they pick their shot.

Varth_ publicly accuses Sparrow of feeding intelligence to Choiseul members before the merge. Sparrow denies it stone-cold and walks away without another word. - Nebula reads the chaos and acts fast. She pulls Justini and Sparrow aside separately — making the same argument to both: Varth_ is volatile, he's making enemies, and he's going to blow up both their games. By sundown, both agree. - Maris stirs up fresh paranoia on the other end of camp, pulling Glinda aside to warn her that Nebula is "the spider at the center of this whole web." Glinda doesn't react. But she doesn't forget.

He pulls Hunter and MaxOra aside, framing a counter-alliance against Nebula's grip as their only real path forward in the game. - Camp erupts when Maris loudly accuses death_metal of sneaking rice from the pot in the middle of the night. death_metal denies it, but the damage lands — and Maris knows it doesn't matter whether it's true. - Nebula moves before death_metal can solidify anything. She sits with Justini and Sparrow and makes the pitch in plain terms: tribal lines are a trap. The move is death_metal, tonight — and the three of them control the game going forward if they act now.

Glinda and IronMuffin speak in hushed tones for the first time about her jury appeal — her story, her relationships, her ability to win at the end. - MaxOra, running low on options, approaches Maris with a pitch about joining forces as underdogs against Nebula's bloc. Maris nods warmly and agrees. She reports every word back to Nebula within the hour. - Nebula's coalition moves in lockstep. On the other side of camp, IronMuffin and Glinda quietly cast their votes for Nebula as a hedge — probing for cracks without fully committing to one.

Every door opens politely and closes firmly in his face. - Maris operates on two fronts at once: she tells IronMuffin that Nebula and Justini have a locked Final 2 deal, and tells Justini that IronMuffin is quietly building a résumé that will sweep the jury. She's buying herself one more day by manufacturing chaos. - At the well, Justini and Sparrow almost — almost — decide to take a big swing and blow up the game. The Dynamic Duo stands at the edge of the move. In the end, they look at each other and step back. "Not yet," Sparrow says. IMMUNITY WINNER: IronMuffin TRIBAL COUNCIL: 1st Vote: Hunter 2nd Vote: Maris 3rd Vote: Hunter 4th Vote: Maris 5th Vote: Hunter 6th Vote: Maris 7th Vote: Hunter 8th Vote: Hunter 8th: Hunter -------------------------------------------- EPISODE 12 - FINAL 7 GUADALCANAL Justini Sparrow Maris IronMuffin Glinda joshgillespie Nebula - Glinda's surprise immunity win sends a jolt through camp. Maris, now fully exposed, scrambles immediately — cornering IronMuffin and making the pitch of her entire game: cut Nebula tonight, before it's too late for both of them. - Justini and Maris have the most explosive confrontation of the season. In front of the entire camp, Justini unloads — calling Maris out for her manipulation, her whispers, her fake alliances, and her game of poison. The camp falls completely silent. Maris stares back without blinking. - IronMuffin and Glinda briefly huddle and genuinely consider flipping to Nebula. But they agree: Maris is the bigger social threat at a jury. They write her name — knowing the majority doesn't need them anyway. IMMUNITY WINNER: Glinda TRIBAL COUNCIL: 1st Vote: IronMuffin 2nd Vote: Maris 3rd Vote: Maris 4th Vote: Maris 5th Vote: Maris 6th Vote: Maris 7th Vote: Maris 7th: Maris -------------------------------------------- EPISODE 13 - FINAL 6 GUADALCANAL Justini Sparrow IronMuffin Glinda joshgillespie Nebula - With six left, joshgillespie sees his window closing. He corners IronMuffin and Glinda separately and makes his argument: Nebula, Justini, and Sparrow are a locked trio — and if they don't break it tonight, no one ever will. - Nebula anticipates the scramble. Before joshgillespie can land his pitch, she pulls IronMuffin aside and offers a Final 3 deal — herself, IronMuffin, and Glinda. She frames it as the cleanest path to the end for all three of them. - At Tribal, Justini throws a deliberate misdirection vote onto Glinda — a signal to IronMuffin that she's keeping her options open, and a reminder that her loyalty isn't locked down for anyone.

But in a private moment at the water's edge, Justini tells Sparrow plainly: "There is no version of this where I beat her at the end." - IronMuffin wins his sixth individual immunity of the season. The door slams shut on every target except Nebula. - Nebula reads the room and knows. She spends the afternoon calm and composed — and at Tribal, she writes Justini's name. Not out of spite. Out of recognition. It's the only name that makes sense. IMMUNITY WINNER: IronMuffin TRIBAL COUNCIL: 1st Vote: Justini 2nd Vote: Nebula 3rd Vote: Nebula 4th Vote: Nebula 5th Vote: Nebula 5th: Nebula -------------------------------------------- EPISODE 15 - FINAL 4 GUADALCANAL Justini Sparrow IronMuffin Glinda - With only four left, the game becomes simple and brutal. Everyone is thinking about the jury. Alliances that held for weeks crack along the edges. - Sparrow pulls Justini aside on the final afternoon and lays everything on the table. She invokes their bond — the Dynamic Duo, forged on Day 1 — and pledges her jury vote if Justini saves her. "We came in together," she says. "We should go out together." - Justini wins immunity in a tight final challenge. She sits at Tribal knowing exactly what she's about to do — and she does it, writing Sparrow's name with a steady hand and a heavy heart.

Justini is emotional and loud about it — narrating the journey like she's narrated everything else. IronMuffin is measured and confident in his record. Glinda is reflective, choosing every word carefully. - The jury is sharp, engaged, and pointed: — Nebula challenges all three to name a single moment that defined their entire game. Justini names the Maris confrontation — unscripted, unafraid, in front of everyone. IronMuffin points to his immunity record and his grip on the physical game. Glinda names her surprise immunity win at seven. Nebula leans forward: "One moment. That's all you have?" — Maris, in a moment that surprises the entire jury, speaks directly to Justini: "You played a loud game in a loud way. You never pretended to be something you weren't. That's harder than it looks." — Sparrow fights back tears, telling Justini she's proud of her — that the Dynamic Duo was the heartbeat of the season, and watching Justini play was the best part of being out here. — Jordan009 presses IronMuffin directly: "Was this a game of strategy, or just a game of immunity wins?" IronMuffin doesn't find a fully satisfying answer. — Glinda is challenged on social and strategic passivity by multiple jurors. She holds her ground — but never delivers the knockout moment that would change minds. JURY VOTE: Sparrow → Justini Nebula → Justini Maris → Justini joshgillespie → Justini MaxOra → Justini @Jordan009 → IronMuffin Varth_ → IronMuffin Hunter → IronMuffin death_metal → Glinda WINNER: Justini — 5 votes Runner-Up: IronMuffin — 3 votes Third Place: Glinda — 1 vote -------------------------------------------- Biggest Hero: @venharim Biggest Villain: Maris Player of the Season: Nebula Fan Favorite: Sparrow Strategic Mastermind: Zach Comp Beast: IronMuffin Most Robbed: Varth_ Drama Queen: Justini Dynamic Duo: Justini Sparrow Heated Rivalry: Varth_ Sparrow -------------------------------------------- If you've gotten this far, I hope you enjoyed this blog!

I just randomly realized I havent looked at the house on my profile in like over a month, I honestly forget they exist all the time is there a time those used to be popular?

Hello! I am aware there if you tag enough people on a post, eventually it won't show people after a certain number on their recently mentioned on their profile, does anyone know what that number is?
