Survival of the Fittest/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


All those miscellaneous facts about Survival of the Fittest

  • Fan Nickname: Tons. 'Bocelot' (Bobby Jacks), 'BCarv' (Bryant Carver), 'Captain America' (Tyler Blake),
    • Sometimes used to differentiate characters with the same name: Happy!Nick (Nick LeMonde) and Sad!Nick (Nick Reid), and Sarax (Sarah Xu), STan (Sarah Tan) and Seizure Girl (Sarah Atwell) being the main examples.
  • McLeaned: This happens occasionally if a handler suddenly leaves the site and no one takes on his/her characters. This was the fate of Megan Nelson, Rob Jenkins, Rein Bumgarner, Alex Rasputin and Carla Conners from V4, among others.
  • What Could Have Been: Pops up from time to time as a result of either an Aborted Arc, handlers scrapping the idea, characters' deaths before the idea could be executed, mods disapproving, handlers leaving the site, etc. Examples noted on the wiki include Blood Boy getting a facial reconstruction in pre-game, a lot of things about Cillian Crowe that were planned but never carried out, Adam Dodd Taking the Bullet for Amanda Jones, Walter Smith being an Evil Counterpart to a character that never made it into the game, and others.
    • In V4, Kimberly Nguyen was very nearly killed off right at the very beginning of the game, however her handler decided to change plans at the last moment and keep her alive. She has now won version 4.
    • A notable one occurred during V3's escape attempt. Both Julie Mikan and Darnell Butler were supposed to survive much longer than they actually did. In fact, they were supposed to escape the island altogether. However, due to their handlers leaving the site midway through, the characters were killed off instead.
    • There have been at least two threads devoted to this very topic on the boards.
