Individual Immunity #2 - Mastermind (Day 18)

Welcome castaways to your next immunity challenge. Today we will be playing a game called Mastermind.

You will each be given a “box” with different Greek gods or goddesses. Each of you has a unique combination that consists of 10 of these deities. In order to complete this challenge, you must place all 10 in the correct order. When you are ready to do the challenge, message your host chat. You will send a list of 10 gods that will look like this:

ZEUS

HERA

POSEIDON

HADES

DEMETER

ATHENA

APOLLO

ARTEMIS

ARES

APHRODITE

Once we have checked your list, we will send it back to you with either a star (*), exclamation point (!) or an X next to each god.

- A star/asterisk (*) means that that god is on the list, but not in the correct position

- An exclamation point (!) means that that god is in the correct spot on your list

- The X will indicate that that god is not part of your combination.

Each of you has a unique combination so there is no way to cheat on this challenge. However you are not allowed to discuss the challenge with other players. This includes discussing your time, your combination, or your strategy.

The person who completes the challenge in the fewest number of guesses will win immunity, and earn a guaranteed spot in the final ten.

You will also submit what you think the total sum of everyone’s guesses is. In the event of a tie the person who is the closest without going higher will win the tiebreaker. In the unlikely event THAT ties whoever submits first will win immunity.

Random Wondy Series Thoughts, Part the First

Okay, so a while back I did a pitch for my version of a Green Arrow TV show, and I had a lot of fun with it. So, whilst I still wanna do the basic outlines of at least two more seasons of it, I figured I’d do a season featuring one of my favourite female superheroes – Wonder Woman.

Fair warning – I’m going to talk a fair bit about sexism, rape and homophobia – nothing explicit, but this is Ancient Greek mythology in the modern world, and I am talking about it.

So, few things out of the way first:

My version of Amazonian history/society is a weird miss-mash of Perez, Jimenez, and Legend of Wonder Woman – namely, the Amazons as a whole are descended from Scythians, who established Themyscira, but then Jerkules comes along and fucks it all up so magic island time! The Amazons believe their children are the souls of dead women, but it’s not confirmed because Zeus has forbidden the gods from interacting with Themyscira.

Speaking of children, I’m keeping the LoWW style ‘all Amazons except for a handful are mortal and they magically reproduce by praying’ thing, if only so that I personally am not skeeved out by Diana being the Casanova of Themyscira.

The Amazons are explicitly racially diverse, homo-normative but also bi/pan/everything inclusive (especially trans, I’m considering making Phillipus trans) and technologically advanced. Azzarello can meet me in the fucking pit.

Also, Diana’s bi as fuck.

The patron gods are the ones from Perez’s run – with Hermes instead of Hera, as the token Good Ally™ of Olympus (I can’t remember if this is mythologically accurate – I don’t remember specifics of him doing anything too asholeish, so fuck it.) Hera, however, is fundamental to founding Themyscira, gives Diana her ability to speak eloquently at birth, and it’s hinted that Heracles attacking the Amazons really starts Hera on the path of ‘I’m becoming just as bad as Zeus’ that culminates in her dumping him and deciding to modernize into the ‘family is whoever the fuck you want’ idea later on down the line.

Incidentally, in case that didn’t give you the clue, yes I’m doing the clay origin. Why wouldn’t I?

The Amazons mainly worship Aphrodite and Athena, but after those the most popular god is Hestia, because I love her, you should love her, we all should love Hestia.

Incidentally, Doom’s Doorway is a thing, as are the floating islands of the Jimenez run. Other ideas I’m stealing borrowing: The purple healing ray, Warbringer’s idea that some Amazons worship different gods (though mainly Egyptian, Roman and Etruscan, not any and all – you’ll see why later), also the idea that Themyscira is an impossible biome with a dessert right next to a frozen wasteland, the Invisible Jet being magic space goop, this meme, you get the idea.

More Amazons come to the island as castaways on wreckage – this is Donna Troy’s origin, she was deposited there in 1941, and Hippolyta decided to combat the Nazis and became the first Wonder Woman.

Xena and Gabrielle are Hippolyta’s mothers. This may not make much sense to any Xena fan, but I like it, so I’m keepin’ it.

Whilst we’re on the subject, Percy Jackson is around, with a few changes – namely, the Hunters of Artemis are Amazons, with Zoe Nightshade being Phillipus’ best friend.

With all that backstory out of the way, let’s get on with the pilot:

(Fair Waning: most of the art will be from LoWW, because it’s so gosh darned pretty)

We open the same way LoWW opened – the backstory of the Amazons, from their origins to Hippolyta’s time as Wonder Woman (ending as she goes to combat Ares), eventually revealed to be a story being told to a group of youths, one of which is Donna Troy, by Diana. We slowly get introduced to Themyscira, how it operates and that Diana is feeling very Moana about her state of affairs.

Incidentally, something that’ll come up later – the backstory establishes that during Hippolyta and Antiope’s fall out, instead of the 50-50 split hinted at in canon, it was rather more 30-70 Antiope’s way. Yes, this does mean what you’re thinking – it’s not just Bana-Mighdall, there’s more Amazons out there.

Regardless, we then have Diana interacting with Hippolyta and Phillipus, which establishes two things – one, Hippolyta is unusually defensive about Diana bringing up her fight with Ares, and has forbidden Diana from learning any sort of weapon’s training, and two, Phillipus has been cheerfully ignoring that order for the past five hundred years. (Phillipus is the Cool Mum, Hippolyta the Safe Mum. I don’t make the rules.)

Cut to:

Steve Trevor, who is being given instructions by his commanding officer to report to X aircraft carrier and perform flight manoeuvres. Although he questions these orders, given the aircraft carrier is several hundred miles away and there are at least five ones in between here and there, he follows them out. As he walks out of the room, his commanding officer reveals himself to be Deimos, Ares’ son and God of Terror.

Cut to:

Olympus, where Athena, Aphrodite and Apollo are viewing this event. They establish that the carrier is right next to Themyscira, and that Steve setting foot on the land will break Themyscira’s defences, leaving them open to attack. They also establish there’s fuck-all they can do about this, as Zeus has decreed that no Olympian can interfere with the mortal world – Athena in particular expresses frustration with this, storming off. Aphrodite and Apollo talk about how Athena’s become angrier at Zeus, particularly after World War II, where he forbade Athena from joining either side. Apollo asks what they can do about Ares’ plan, and Aphrodite smiles. She says she has a plan.

Cut once again to:

Gateway City, where Etta Candy, college sorority and fashionista, is talking with the rest of the Holiday Girls, until she gets a phone call. It’s from Aphrodite, who tells her she has a job for them…

Back to Themyscira, where Diana is training with Donna. Hippolyta arrives, looking furious, and starts berating them both. Just as mother and daughter are about to start arguing, Penelope runs up, saying that Menalippe is hurt. Hippolyta orders Diana and Donna to stay behind, but neither of them listen.

Menalippe says that she was sent a message by Mnemosyne (Titaness of Foresight – Apollo is too… frat boy to be the god of choice on Themyscira, tbh) that dark times are coming, and they need to hold a games to decide who shall champion Themyscira’s beliefs to the outside world, because they may not have a choice soon. Diana begs to join the games, but Hippolyta forbids it, leading Diana to storm away in disgust. Phillipus stays behind to confront Hippolyta, saying that she needs to stop trying to protect Diana, because she’s her daughter, of course she’s going to fight. Hippolyta protests that she’s Phillipus’ daughter to, but Phillipus smiles sadly and says that they both know that’s not true. From behind the curtain, Diana is crying.

Meanwhile:

Steve boards the aircraft carrier, but not before locating a stowaway: Etta Candy. Despite her protests, he prepares to do his drills alongside his new co-pilot, Leo Nides (Yes, that is a play on Leonidas of Sparta. No, he’s not black. Yes, he is Greek)

Whilst he’s out flying, his co-pilot starts attacking him, chanting in Ancient Greek. The plane starts crashing…

The day of the games opens up bright, with Diana sulking in her room. Donna sneaks in, and the two talk about parenthood, and how Donna doesn’t remember her parents, but whenever either of them think of ‘parents’, they immediately think of Hippolyta and Phillipus. Suddenly, there’s a horrible sound from outside, and they both run out to see a strange contraption fall from the sky.

(Yes, the Amazons have planes, but that doesn’t mean they know what a fighter jet looks like. They’ve already figured out hovercraft some four hundred years ago, after all.)

The plane crashes, and as the Amazons stand around it, a figure stumbles out. With shock, the Amazons realize it’s a man, just as the island shakes and the defences fall.

The episode ends with the crew on the boat, Etta Candy and the Amazons looking on in shock as Themyscira is revealed to the world for the first time in eons.

So, that’s my idea! Please leave all comments, things you liked, things you hated, things you feel indifferent towards, really anything, I’d love to hear it all! This’ll probably be part one of a series of four five, with part 2 (and part 3) being the second (and third, there was too much) of the pilot, part 3 4 being an overview of the rest of the season/any individual episodes, and part 4 5 an overview of where to go after season 1. I’ll link to them once I’ve posted them, but for now bye!
