<in an office downtown, we see a small, white, blobby appendage holding a telephone impatiently>
"C'mon.... c'mon... pickup....!"
"Weisinger Agency... how may I direct your call?
"Hi, Amelia... it's JP. Get me Morty"
"Right away, sir"
<impatient blobby appendage drumming as the call is transferred>
JP... Baaaaaby... how ya doin'?
"Cut the crap, Morty! Did you see it?"
"Ah. Yeah... I saw it..."
<interrupting>"You're supposed to be my AGENT!!! This is how I have to find out... by reading it on a public forum! What am I paying you for?!?!"
"Now, listen, JP... nothing's definite... it's just a rumor...
"Rumor nothing... he's doing it! He said there wouldn't be a second season... but mark my words, he's doing it! Where is it this time?
"Well, like I say... rumor..."
"WHERE?!"
"Well... given the significance of the date... and the wording... people are saying... New Tartuga."
"And why haven't they called me, yet?"
"Listen, JP, after that drunken swing you took at him at the after-party, you're lucky he takes my calls at all."
"He's not thinking about someone else, is he? Nobody can do that show but me! That's my show!"
"...and everyone knows it..."
"Who is it?"
"Baaaaby... c'mon... you know that everybody..."
"WHO?"
"Bear in mind, this is just whisper down the lane, but I'm hearing the name... 'Phil Dox' tossed around."
"That guy from the Amazers' R.A.C.E.?!?! He's a hack!!! He stole his whole bit from me! You listen, Morty, and listen good... that gig is MINE! Make it happen, or start looking for another client!"
JP... c'mon, now...
<blobby appendage slams down the phone, as the owner swings around in his chair>
"Oh, yeah, baby... YOU'RE BACK!"

<at Security Office, gets a call from his agent>
Sal? Why are you calling? I told you I don't do pornos anymo--!
What?!?! The want me to do WHAT?!?! AGAIN?!?!
Well, damn, I already won the damn thing the first time, and Quis still gives me those victimized glances since I turned on him!
Look, the only way I'd ever even consider doing that again is if I get somethin' up front! I mean, you just know I'll get voted off first this time--it'll be embarassing!
What would it take? Well.....

Meanwhile, in a boardroom on the other side of town...
Ex - "Bigger... it's got to be bigger!"
Dewey - "But, sir, we're already way over budget. Why, the Captain Alisia Frake guest appearance alone is..."
Ex - "Nonsense! What's the point of doing this, if not for the spectacle? The kids today want flash... glitz... if we wanted to do this small, we could go back to the DCMBs. And I don't think any of you want that, do you?"
All - "Murmur, murmur, harumph, harumph..."
Ex - "All right then... New Tartuga... it's a pretty rough place... how are we looking on security?"
Cheatham - "Well, we've been in talks with the 'Emerald Dragons' out of Rimbor... they can provide security, but it's a union shop..."
Ex - "Fine... fine... work it out... just make sure there's no SilverAle during work hours! Now the cast... we'll have an open call in a couple of days, but I do want some of the Season One guys back... sort of a Fans and Favorites thing..."
Howe - "Already on it, sir, we put a call out today... I personally spoke with Taylor's agent..."
Ex - "Taylor's got an agent?!?!"
Howe - "Yes, sir... he's with Sal Manilla..."
Ex - "Everybody's a prima-donna. Speaking of which... did we hear back from Phil Dox on the hosting offer?"
Dewey - "I'm sorry, sir, he passed. He's on location with the Amazer's R.A.C.E. right now."
Ex - "Drat! What about that LEGIOPARDY fellow... Ali-3 Bek...?"
Cheatham - "Market research shows that he skews to an older crowd... certainly loses with the 18 - 24 demographic."
Ex - "Double Drat!!"
Howe - "We have gotten several calls from Jeff Proty's people."
Ex - "Triple Drat!!! <sighing> Ahhhhhhh... what the heck... he works for scale. Ms. Jath... make a note... have wardrobe order a boatload of powder... that protean reflects like nobody's business on camera."
Ms Jath - "...boatload of powder... got it, Ex."
Ex - "Great! Well, it looks like we're in business for another season folks, folks! Roll the logo..."
Ex - "Sweet Ass Sweet!"

Kicking off on September 19th (also known as "International Talk Like A Pirate Day"), this game will take you to the exotic - and danger-filled - Pirate Planetoid of New Tartuga where Legion Worlders will be invited to take part in the most expansive and immersive Legion-based game ever staged. It will have all the things that you love about the holo-vid version of Survivor, but catered to Legion World. Things like:
- Initial team play followed by individual play after a merge - Reward Challenges - Immunity Challenges - Secret Alliances - Tribal Councils - Exile Island - Hidden Immunity Idols - The Jury - and, of course, a Grand Prize (Or "Pwize" as Batboy's favorite student says)
Starting tomorrow evening (watch for the posting), we'll begin accepting applications (anything received before then will not count). From that time, you may send a PM directly to Exnihil simply stating something to the effect of, "I'd like to play Survivor." We'll keep it open for a few weeks, and then assign the teams from all received applications (Ideally, we'd like to have about 16-20 players, but we ran with 12 last time around and it worked out just fine).
- The game will run for about a month. Although daily participation is not required, remember, initially you'll be part of a team and your level of participation will likely be directly proportionate to how long your peers will keep you around.
- Although the time of the individual challenges will vary, last season's challenges seemed to reach a happy medium of generally starting between 8PM and 11PM EST to accommodate the largest number of schedules.
- If you are unfamiliar with Survivor, a word of warning - the object of the game is to, as the logo says, "Outwit, Outplay and Outlast" your fellow players. Traditionally, but not necessarily, this may involve the formations of secret alliances, betrayal of promises made between players, and at times, out and out lying. Should this happen to you, this should in no way be construed as any real enmity between anyone on Legion World and yourself... it's just part of the game. If you fear that your feelings may get hurt or that your faith in humanity will be permanently shaken, then perhaps this is not the game for you.
Watch this space for more updates and remember, September 19th, the boat sails... with... or without you!

That's right, starting right now all you need to do is drop a PM to Exnihil (after having read the notes in the post above) and, come this September 19th, you'll be one of the folks competing to win a... oh... but that would be telling.
