Arrow Reality Tomb Raider: Series 3

Check out previous series' of Reality Tomb Raider:
Series 1 (TR1)
Series 2 (AoD)


Thanks to Laras Boyfr. for this logo.



I wanted to start up a game on here which allows users to take on a character and interact with other characters of the TR series. This is Reality Tomb Raider, Series 3 - a cross between a reality TV series and a role-playing game. Users will take on the role of a 'raider' (a character) from Legend and will be their raider for 8 weeks (each representing a level in Legend). The week will last from Monday to Friday. At the end of every Friday, a raider will be eliminated from the series, if they accumulate the most elimination votes. All times will be on the time schedule of the forum.



Raiders still in the competition.
Raiders who have been eliminated.
Raiders who are in the Bottom 3 for elimination this Week.


The 10 raiders that'll be entering the series are, in alphabetical order:
Alister - sheepman23 - WINNER - 1st Place
Amanda - tomee - ELIMINATED - 5th Place
Amelia - a_pok - ELIMINATED - 6th Place
Anaya - RoxasKennedy - ELIMINATED - 8th Place
Lara - Jeissy - ELIMINATED - 3rd Place
Nishimura - CuteLilDragon - ELIMINATED - 10th Place
Rutland - Laras Boyfr. - ELIMINATED - 9th Place
Takamoto - Tiddlyfish13 - ELIMINATED - 4th Place
Winston - DgoOdz94 - ELIMINATED - 7th Place
Zip - Seth94 - ELIMINATED - 2nd Place


Below are descriptions of the characters and avatars. When you have been confirmed as a raider, you must put your character's avatar as your avatar on TRF, until you are eliminated or win. Thanks to Laras Boyfr. for the avatars.

Alister Fletcher

Alister Fletcher is Lara's research assistant and a repository for a fantastic array of detailed historical information.

Amanda Evert

Amanda Evert was once Lara's friend, but catastrophic events caused her beliefs to be changed once and for all.

Amelia Croft

Lady Amelia Croft, the Countess of Abbingdon, was the wife of Lord Richard Croft, and the mother of Lara Croft.

Anaya Imanu

Anaya is a civil engineer working in impoverished areas of South America. She's an old friend of Lara's dating back to their days at university, and she was with Lara during the tragedy near Segou. She has since led a distinguished career of her own, routinely crossing paths with Lara.

Lara Croft

Lady Lara Croft (born 14 February 1968) is a British archaeologist and treasure hunter, most commonly known for her discovery of several noted artifacts, including Excalibur, the fabled sword of King Arthur.

Toru Nishimura

Toru Nishimura is a media mogul and ex-investigative reporter whom Lara rescued when he uncovered a plot involving a corrupt cabinet minister and an ancient artifact.

James Rutland

James Rutland Jr. grew up in a bubble of enormous wealth and privilege. He went to West Point and managed to graduate on his own merits, barely. As hard as it was, he's glad for it, because it gave him a sense of self-discipline and strength that he finds useful now that he's free of the military. He's a charismatic man accustomed to getting whatever he wants.

Shogo Takamoto

Shogo Takamoto is a Yakuza Kumicho (boss) who loves ancient weapons. In addition to being a powerful figure in the Japanese mob, he also became a fixture in the antiquities underground, frustrating collectors and adventurers alike by mixing forgeries with authentic items.

Winston Smith

Winston is Lara's butler, and he has served the Crofts for most of his life. He's calm, sophisticated, unflappable, and knows more about Lara and her doings than anyone.

Zip

Zip is the tech guy of Lara's team, responsible for providing technical and logistical support for Lara's endeavors worldwide.

(With thanks to the Official Guide and Tomb Raider Wiki.)

If you wish to apply to be one of the raiders, you have to PM me, saying that you agree to the rules posted below and telling me which raider you'd like to be. Please include a first and second choice, as someone might've already requested your first choice. I'll accept it on a first come, first served basis - try and get your PM to me as soon as you can! I'll update this post as each raider gets accepted with a user.

The Advantages of Being a Raider:
- You'll get to 'step into the shoes' of a character from TR
- You'll allow other users to see how the characters may react to a situation
- You'll interact and converse with other characters and users
- You might be crowned as the winner



When all raiders have been accepted with a user and are ready, I will post and Week 1 will begin. I will be the presenter and narrator of the series and the raiders will be able to converse with other raiders whenever they want. Every other user can still comment.

Eliminations will occur on Friday of every Week and then that Week will end. Raiders can still post of a weekend if they wish, but this isn't required, and you can't perform any actions. The next Week will then start on a Monday. After Week 1 has begun, both users and raiders will be able to begin voting to eliminate the raider they want. To do this, they'd PM me with the name of the raider they wish to eliminate. Votes must not be posted in this thread. PM me. Voting to eliminate will be friendly and not offensive, as we are eliminating the character, not the user. At the end of Week 8, the winner of the series will be announced and the series will end.

Week 1 - Bolivia
Week 2 - Peru
Week 3 - Japan
Week 4 - Ghana
Week 5 - Kazakhstan
Week 6 - England
Week 7 - Nepal
Week 8 - The Final Week - Bolivia



When Week 1 has started, you will each be given £300. This will be yours for the rest of the series. You can easily gain more money, but equally you can easily have money taken away. Through tasks and thorough exploring, you will earn more. You can use these to buy necessary weapons or items. If you wish to buy something, just post in the thread clearly what you'd like to buy, like below:

Code:

Health Packs
You will each start with 3 Health Packs. You can buy a Health Pack for £40, but you can carry only up to 3. If at any point you run out of Health Packs, 2 votes of elimination will be added towards your name, and you'll start with 3 Health Packs.

Discounts

Voting/Grenades
Each raider starts every week with 4 Grenades each. These allow you to vote to eliminate. Every time you vote, you will lose a Grenade. Therefore, you can vote 4 times a week. Normal users can only vote twice a week. If any raider ends the week with some Grenades left in their inventory, those are added towards their elimination votes. Remember, to vote, send me a PM with the name of the raider you'd like to eliminate.

Special Abilities/Items and Weaknesses
When you have been confirmed as a raider, you must post a special ability, item and a weakness which suits your character for you to use in the series. Let your imagination run wild! See Series 2 for examples. I will confirm them if I deem them suitable.

Tasks
This series, the tasks will be up to the raiders. Each raider will play a part in creating a task. Take a look at the schedule below:
Week 1
Week 2 - Amanda & Anaya
Week 3 - Nishimura & Takamoto
Week 4 - Lara & Rutland
Week 5
Week 6 - Alister & Zip
Week 7 - Amelia & Winston
Week 8
Work with your partner above to create a task relevant to your Week's level. Make the prize suitable - ideally money. In your Week, post your task for the other raiders to complete. You cannot compete in your own task. See Series 1 and 2 for task examples. I will judge the raiders who create the tasks, and will award you with money accordingly. If your partner doesn't cooperate, you can post the task on your own, and I will award you solely. The task must be finished within that Week. I will post tasks for Weeks 1, 5 and 8.

Rewards
At the end of each Week, I will award a Bronze Reward to one raider, a Silver Reward to another raider and a Gold Reward to another raider. One raider can earn multiple awards in one Week. These can then be exchanged accordingly:

Bronze Reward
Awarded for: The most frequent poster of the Week.
Exchanged for: £100 or -2 elimination votes.

Silver Reward
Awarded for: The raider with the highest quality posts of the Week.
Exchanged for: £200 or -4 elimination votes.

Gold Reward
Awarded for: The raider who uses the most weapons, items, Grenades and abilities of the Week.
Exchanged for: £300 or -6 elimination votes.

This is your PDA. It will be updated periodically. It may contain advice, hints, tips or puzzles that can be solved, in exchange for money, if you PM me the solution.

Only three raiders remain. Which one will win?




Below is a wordsearch.



For this Week's task, I simply want you to find words related to Bolivia Redux in the wordsearch. I have hidden 6 words. PM me any words you find.

Eliminated Raiders: + Grenade for every word guessed. + £100 donation money for all words guessed.

Remaining Raiders: + 2 Grenades for every word guessed. + £200 for all words guessed.

The deadline is Wednesday noon forum time.

All Grenades must be used by Wednesday night. The final two raiders will then be supplied with more Grenades.

Thanks to Laras Boyfr. and sheepman23.

This series is entirely for fun. The post will be updated in due course. Please comment on what you think about the series, and PM me if you wish to apply to be a raider. Thank you!

Have fun raiding!

Wait...

Does that mean we're going to go on without him, or that the series will start in two weeks?

I was thinking we could start without him - he would still be eligable for elimination. Is that alright?

Hmm, I suppose that would be alright.

If the series is going to start next week, then he'll only miss Bolivia, which shouldn't be too big of a deal.
