Season 1- Spanish 101

Spanish 101
Spanish 101 is the first season of the Discord Survivor Online reality game, Greendalevivor.

Production
Greendalevivor Spanish 101 was initially conceptualized in late Decemeber of 2021 and started officially on January 8th of 2022. The ORG would be themed off of the hit American Sitcom Community. Following this theme, castaways would be referred to as "students" and the season would be titled after the first season of Community's primary classroom setting, Spanish 101.

The challenges would also tie into and reference events from Community's first season in different ways. In game Advantages would also be named to reference aspects of the Sitcom. All Contestants would be given fake Greendale student ID cards

Twists
Greendale Shop: The Greendalevivor shop was where all in-game advantages where located. It could be found by clicking on the links in contestants' student ID cards or by entering the text command "!greendalevivor-shop" in any chat on the server. Once the command was entered, a list of all advantages currently "on sale" would appear, as well as the price they were on sale for, and if there were any in stock. Points to earn the various advantages of the shop could be obtained through completing mini-challenges, and taking game-related risks, like sacrificing a vote. By day 22, the shop was listed as sold out.

Hidden Immunity Idol: A common twist within Survivor and its various fan games, the hidden immunity idol provides an opportunity for safety of its owner if played correctly. A hidden Immunity idol once found, can be played at tribal council after the votes are cast, but before they are read. Once played, any votes cast for the recipient of the idol's power will not count. Idols in Spanish 101 could be purchased only in the Greendale shop. Across the season's run, there were four hidden immunity idol plays, two by Joe and one each by Hunter and Sophie. All of them were played correctly.

Extra vote: An extra vote is a twist that gives the recipient a spare vote that they can play along with their standard vote at any tribal council up until a certain point, giving them two votes for that Tribal. An extra vote was only up for grabs during the third immunity challenge of the season. During the challenge, a requirement was for contestants to name one member of their tribe a "captain" to lead them in the challenge. Upon completion, the winning Tribe's captain would be promoted to "admiral" and would be given an extra vote. This advantage was won by Kurt.

Earnoculars/espionage tool: This advantage allowed the owner to join and hypothetically "spy on" an alliance chat if they could guess all of the members of the alliance. The only known owner of this advantage was Johnald. Everyone in the cast, including Johnald himself considered the advantage to be worthless, as even if someone did manage to guess all the members of the alliance, it would show that they had been added to the chat. This would put a target on the owner's back, and the alliance would almost certainly cease use of that current chat.

Loved one's visit: This twist is a staple of survivor, but not typical in ORGs. During the loved ones visit, contestants invite a person of their choosing to participate in an immunity challenge with them.

Pre-swap
At the start of the game 18 contestants were split up into 2 tribes of 9, Fictional History 101 and Advanced Imaginary Friends. On Fictional History, a majority alliance of 6 quickly formed, leaving Micah, Steve, and Jordyn on the outs. Within this alliance of six, CJ, John and Hunter formed the alliance No Country for old men and secretly maintained control over the tribe. Meanwhile on Imaginary Friends, things went slower, but general social-polotiking left Sophie, Johnald and Shane with the most influence in the tribe. While Kurt's eccentric personality and Dawson's inactivity put early targets on their backs. Imaginary Friends would go on to win the first four consecutive immunity challenges of the season, sending Fictional History to tribal council four straight times. In the first three tribals, Micah, Jordyn and Steve were easy majority votes.

However, in the fourth tribal, the majority 6 would have to turn on each other. Collin suggested Joe as a target, as Joe was frequently busy and the person he felt the least attached to. CJ disagreed with voting out Joe, preferring Collin or Bailey to go instead. However, he reluctantly agreed to it to maintain unity within the tribe. Joe soon realized that something was wrong within tribe dynamics, and pressed Collin for an answer. Collin didn't want to compromise one of his other allies, and so told Joe the truth. At tribal, Joe voted for John and played a hidden immunity idol, nullifying all other votes and sending John home.

Post swap
At the final 14, Fictional History 101 and Advanced Imaginary Friends would be retired. The contestants would be swapped into two new tribes of 7, Intermediate Shoe Tying, and The Art of Sandwich making. The Remaining members of Fictional History would be swapped into the minority on both tribes, in a 4-3 split on Shoe Tying and a 5-2 split on Sandwich Making. On Sandwich making, Hunter and Bailey would find new allies in Sophie and Lucky, who did not particularly trust their old tribe mates. The group would form a majority alliance of four. Meanwhile on Shoe Tying, Collin would come up with a worst-case scenario plan to try and orchestrate a split vote of 2-2-3 by tricking the members of Advanced Imaginary Friends. CJ didn't like this plan, and decided to use it to shift the target onto Collin. Collin soon realized that CJ had betrayed him, and began trying to sabotage CJ in turn.

Art of Sandwich Making would win the 5th immunity challenge of the season, sending Intermediate Shoe Tying to tribal council. Due to the misinformation war between Collin and CJ, the Advanced Imaginary Friends contingent of the tribe was left without a clear picture of what had transpired on fictional history, or who to trust. They decided to randomize the vote. CJ was chosen was the target, and was voted out in a 4-3 vote. Art of Sandwich Making would go on to lose the next two immunity challenges, partly due to Bailey and Hunter throwing them to save Collin and Joe. During the 6th round, Joel would form an alliance with everyone on his tribe except for Kurt. Joel was at odds with Kurt for his eccentric personality, and also viewed him to be a major challenge threat at the merge. The others agreed to this, and Kurt was voted out unanimously. During the 7th round, Joel and Lolo would attempt to consolidate their power in the tribe by targeting Lucky. However, Lucky was Sophie's ally, and so Sophie shifted the target onto Joel. Joel would be voted out in a 5-2 vote.

The merge
At the final 11, the tribes would finally merge into one tribe. The merged tribe would be named Tha Chicken Class in honor of an ORG friend of Shane's who had passed away. The merge would see Sophie, Hunter and Bailey quickly form the center of power in the tribe. Hunter and Bailey, along with keeping their alliance with Sophie and Lucky, would reconnect with Joe and Collin. The group would form the Fictional-4 alliance, which Hunter intended to take all the way to the end of the game. Sophie would reconnect with many of her old tribe mates, forming various alliances with all of them. Lolo, having no trustworthy connections on either tribe, would be left out of tribe dynamics. Lolo would become an easy target, and the group would form a near unanimous vote against him, making him the first member of the Jury.

After the easy vote in Lolo, things would very quickly become much more complicated. Sophie saw Shane as her biggest social threat in the game, and worked with Hunter and Bailey to orchestrate his blindside. She would form a new alliance with herself, Joe, Collin and Hunter called Jeff's Faucets. In this alliance she would inform them that members of her original tribe were voting, and give Joe a hidden immunity idol to play on himself. She'd then tell them that the vote was Shane. Collin would convince Raven to vote with them as well by telling her that Shane wanted her out. Sophie would then tell all of her original tribe mates to vote Joe. Joe would play his idol at tribal council, saving himself and sending Shane to Jury with 5 votes.

At the final 9, Lucky brought up the idea to target Joe, seeing him as a major immunity threat. Joe would win immunity however, and Lucky would change his vote to Collin. Lucky viewed Collin as Joe's "shield" in the game. Sophie agreed to a Collin vote as she had little trust in him. Raven however, advocated to change the vote to Bailey, as she and Collin were close and she was unaware of the alliance between Sophie, Bailey and Hunter. Johnald would come to the mistaken conclusion that Bailey, Hunter and Sophie were working in a pregame alliance, and began to target them. This made Sophie, Hunter and Bailey agree to shift the target onto Johnald. Sophie pretended to agree to a Bailey vote, and Hunter told Collin and Joe to vote for Dawson. At tribal council, Hunter played his hidden immunity idol on Bailey, nullifying all 5 Imaginary Friends' votes. The vote came down to a tie, as Bailey and Hunter changed plans last minute to a Johnald vote, and told Joe and Collin to do the same on the revote. In an attempt to save himself, Johnald would attempt to frame Sophie, Hunter and Bailey as pregamers. Nearly everyone saw through this however, and Johnald was voted out. Johnald did not take his elimination well, and began insulting the hosting team. After a few warnings, he was banned from the server and removed from the Jury.

Raven and Collin would compare notes and realize that the past two votes had been controlled by the same two people, Hunter and Sophie. Realizing that the two of them were the biggest threats to win, Raven and Collin would begin plotting their downfall. Collin would reach out to Hunter and suggest targeting Lucky. Hunter would see through this ploy however, and realize that Collin was trying to secure a majority alliance with himself, Raven, Joe and Dawson. Despite this treachery, Hunter still truly wanted to take the remaining Fictional History members to the end of the game, and so decided to target Dawson this round. Raven was also hesitant to vote off one of her own tribe mates and give Fictional History the majority in the game. Realizing that this flip was not working out, Collin reluctantly agreed to a Dawson vote. Dawson was voted out 6-2, with Sophie lying to Raven and Dawson and telling them to vote for Joe.

Raven, Collin and Joe formed an alliance of 3 to counter Sophie and Hunter's power, Sophie had as well set her sights on eliminating Collin. Hunter, realizing that Collin and Joe had no intention of going to final four with Fictional History, agreed to this. Collin and Raven reached out to Lucky, trying to convince him that Sophie had been manipulating him the entire game. Though Lucky agreed with many of their points, he felt he didn't have enough trust in them to put his fate in their hands. Realizing that there was no saving him, Raven turned her back on Collin. Collin was voted out 5-2. Upon learning that Hunter and Sophie are seen as the biggest threats to win, Bailey decides its time to target them. He approaches Raven and Joe and creates an alliance of three with them. This alliance however, does not work out very well. Neither Joe nor Raven have enough trust in Bailey to cooperate with him, and things quickly fall apart. After Joe wins individual immunity, Sophie, Lucky and Hunter target Raven. Believing correctly that Sophie has a hidden immunity idol, Bailey instructs the group to vote for Lucky, with the plan to sway Hunter on a revote. Sophie anticipates this however, and plays her hidden immunity idol on Lucky, sending Raven to Jury.

Finale
Despite Bailey's betrayal, the plan at final 5 is still to target Joe. However, when Joe wins immunity, Hunter, Lucky and Sophie have no choice but to target Bailey. Bailey is voted off in a 3-2 vote. At the final 4, Joe finally loses immunity to Hunter, and is voted off in a unanimous vote. Hunter wins Immunity again at the final 3, and has to choose between his longtime ride or die Sophie. or an easier FTC with Lucky. Ultimately, he chooses to cut out his biggest competition, and casts the sole vote to eliminate Sophie. At final tribal council, Lucky is lauded for his loyalty to his allies and likable down to earth personality, but is criticized heavily for his lack of strategic agency in the game. Hunter is highly praised for his strategic stranglehold on the game, but leaves a lot of people, most notably Sophie and Bailey, feeling betrayed. He also fails to establish a social bond with some of the earlier Imaginary Friends Jurors. In the end however, Hunter's strategically brilliant game cannot be ignored, and he wins Greendalevivor Spanish 101 in a vote of 5-3.

Season Awards
Season awards are different superlatives given out to players by the hosts and spectators in various categories. In Greendalevivor Spanish 101, a total of 8 season awards were given out after the winner was crowned. All of them were themed after different characters from Community.

The Dean/Stand out character award- Dawson
Dawson was given the Dean award. This was for being entertaining throughout the season in a unique but likable way. Dawson was often always removed from the drama and gameplay of the season, having been recruited from a Community Reddit thread with no prior knowledge of the game of Survivor. Due to this, he was a wholesome and innocent addition to the cast. Someone who was always just along for the ride, but mad that ride more enjoyable all the same.

The Britta/Robbed player award- Shane
The Britta/Robbed player award was given to someone who either was voted off through no fault of their own, or who was voted off too soon. For Shane, both were applicable. Shane was in a power position for most of the game. He may have even stayed that way, becoming a serious contender to win, had it not been for Sophie seeing him as a threat from early on in the Merge. Shane was well-liked and well-respected by viewers alike, and may have gotten much farther in the game had it not been for Sophie.

The Shirley/Underappreciated player award- Lucky
Lucky spent much of his time in the game overshadowed by Sophie and Hunter. It wasn't that Lucky didn't have good moves to his name, its that anything he ever did meant little compared with the machinations of the strategic behemoths he was aligned with. Lucky played one of the strongest social games of the season, but this game is rarely talked about.

The Pierce/Villain of the season award- Joe
Traditionally, underdogs who go on immunity runs in survivor are considered heroes. However Joe's consecutive Immunity wins proved to be one of the biggest threats (and by far the biggest annoyances) for Hunter and Sophie in the game. Given that Hunter and Sophie were also the two most popular players in the game, that left few people actually rooting for Joe to pull off an immunity run to final two. This combined with his often antagonistic attitude towards his competitors made him a worthy villain in the yes of the host and spectators.

The Troy/Hero of the season award- Collin
Collin was the first Juror to leave the game with legitimate game knowledge to share with the others. He did so in an objective manner which earned the respect of the spectators. He also showed no bitterness towards being voted out, despite the fact that it was his birthday. He also consoles Sophie for her loss when she makes it to Jury, and is generally seen as the best Juror of the season. Collin's honor, objectivity and kindness in Jury earn him the hero of the season award.

The Annie/best confessionals award- Hunter
Hunter went above and beyond in his confessionals, downloading screenshots, photo shopping memes relating to the season and even making charts relating to his future strategic decisions. Hunter was the best at making spectators laugh, but also keeping them informed as well. For that reason, he was given the Annie award.

The Jeff/player of the season award- Hunter
This award was given to Hunter for his consistently dominant strategic game. Throughout the course of the game Hunter was always in control wherever he went. He was very good about sliding into a strategically dominant position, while hiding the fact that he was the main contender to win.

The Abed/Fan favorite award- Sophie
This award is the only one voted for by the spectators who vote for their favorite player of the season. The vote ultimately came down to Hunter and Sophie, with Sophie pulling ahead by a landslide. This is likely due to her 3rd place exit, compared to Hunter's win. As both were respected to the same degree.
