Before we delve into the season concept, I’ll bring up the main question you’re all going to ask: Why the hell is Hashima Island your location?!! Well, it depends on why you’re asking. If it’s because you don’t know what it is, I’ll explain…

Hashima Island is an island near Nagasaki, Japan. Now, obviously, this isn’t the only island being used, but it’s the main theme. It presents something Survivor has never attempted before: '''an abandoned modern city. This island, a mere 6.3 hectare area, was once the host of nearly 5500 people.'''

Hashima Island is currently uninhabited, and is now a World Heritage Site. The apartment blocks and other buildings now have an overgrowth of many plants, and it’s truly a nice site to see. It achieved fame in 2012, after it was featured in a little movie called Skyfall.

And now, onto the actual season.

 Season Info

Season Name: Survivor: Hashima Island.

No. Of Contestants: 20.

Location: Hashima and Nakanoshima Islands, Nagasaki, Japan. Hashima retains the namesake, as it is the more unique of the two islands.

Tribes: Nugisuteru (Japanese for cast off, wearing blue. http://www.perbang.dk/rgb/3B7391/) and Hitei Suru (Japanese for disavow, wearing yellow. http://www.perbang.dk/rgb/B97113/).

 Twists

Exile Island: A classic twist. Time and time again, this has been proven as the best way to distribute idols, especially in the ORG. However, this Exile Island has a twist. The exiled castaway has two options. The first, mine for treasure, is to go into the “mines” and begin hunting for the Hidden Immunity Idol. The second, find new settlement, is the option to mutiny from your own tribe and begin to find new land (aka the other tribe).

Tribe Leaders: At the start of the game, both tribes will pick a leader. It works the same as Samoa: picks the sit outs, challenge positions, etc. The leader also gets to decide who goes to Exile.

Hidden Immunity Idols: THEY ARE NOT TWISTS. But because you all stubbornly think they are, I might as well put them here.

 Other Information

Unlike previous seasons, where the main focus has been to evolve the graphics and design, this season will mainly be to improve on the other aspect: text and backstory. This is to balance the two. This season will delve into history and backstory a great deal. Hunter’s way of revealing challenge results (http://survivor-org.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:56624) will most likely be the way of revealing challenge results. The areas in which challenges are located will almost always be stated explicitly. In short, if you’re a writer, this season is for you. The visual aspects will be at the same quality as Sardinia, it will just also include the other aspect far more heavily.
