Here's an idea for an rp that I've been thinking about for some time. It's about some characters appearing on a game show called Shafted.
Before I explain more, I must say that I've taken a look at Belchic's rp idea that was inspired by the Family Fortunes rp that was started and completed earlier this year. Raine and I were the only members who were interested in taking part in it. No further posts were made about that rp idea after the second post in that topic.
So, I've decided to start a topic about this rp idea, hoping that some members will either join this rp or Belchic's rp. This show called Shafted will start with six contestant, and at some points of the game, a contestant is shafted, in other words, eliminated. This is also one of the game shows that has a variant of prisoner's dilemma. It is a short-lived UK game show that also had a short-lived Australian version. If this idea comes through, a made-up American version will be played. And since this is a game show rp, all the characters to be played in it will be in anthro form. The only prize played for on the show was cash, and it's gonna stay that way for this rp.
I don't expect six people to join, exactly. I'm just waiting for the right number of people who will each start off with the same amount of characters. The rp can start with as follows:
Six people, each with one contestant Three people, each with two contestants Two people, each with three contestants One person, with six contestants
I'll explain more about this idea later. For now, I'll allow other people say what they think of it so far.

I am thinking of starting this rp somewhere in the middle of June if at least one person decided to join. Until then, I'll explain how the game works on the actual show.
The game starts with six contestants, who will each lock in how much money they would like up to £25,000. Whoever locks in with the highest amount is out of the game.
Three question rounds are played afterwards. All questions asked in the game are incomplete, and each question round has as many questions as there are remaining contestants. After an incomplete question is given, each contestant will lock in a wager. The contestant with the highest wager must answer the question after it is read in its entirety. A right answer adds their wager to their total, but a wrong answer deducts their wager from their total. The contestant with the highest total at the end of a question round gets to choose whom to eliminate, and the chosen contestant gets to persuade the leading contestant to change their mind and choose someone else to eliminate. If the leading contestant decides to change their mind, then the chosen contestant at that point is eliminated without getting to have a say.
At the start of the second and third question rounds, each remaining contestant starts off with the amount of money that the leading contestant ended up with in the previous round. Also, starting in the second question round, each remaining contestant receives the option to shift a question to another contestant. If a contestant shifts a question to another contestant, and the contestant whom the question is shifted to is wrong, then the shifter's wager is deducted from the other contestant's total. But if a contestant shifts a question to another contestant, and the contestant whom the question is shifted to is right, then the shifter's wager is deducted from the shifter's total and added to the other contestant's total.
Only two contestants remain after an elimination in the third question round, and those two contestants will advance to the final round, where they will decide how to split the leading contestant's total. In the final round, each remaining contestant is shown a video of the other contestant telling a bit about themselves and explaining what good they did for someone else. The two contestants will then each make an individual decision using a touch screen. The decisions are "Share" and "Shaft". The decisions are revealed to the home viewers only. Then, the two contestants will talk to each other, hoping that what they say will be persuasive enough for the other contestant to decide to split the money with them. After the two contestants each had their say, they have the option to change their minds, and their final decisions are revealed to everyone. The final decisions determine how much money each contestant receive.
*If both contestants choose "Share", then they split the money, each receiving half the cash prize. *If one contestant chooses "Share" and the other contestant chooses "Shaft", then the shafter receives the entire cash prize, and the sharer receives nothing. *If both contestants choose "Shaft", then they both receive nothing.
If this idea comes through, then the only difference in the rp is that American money will be played for. I'll give this idea a few more weeks before I post another update.

People who have been in my springtime rp have been starting to drop out of it because it's now reaching its end. So, now, I'm gonna be more focused on this rp idea.

That part probably happened in the Australian version, but I've seen a couple of clips of the UK version, and it didn't happen there.
And yes, this is first generation.

I'll let you play no more than six characters in this rp. How many characters you play in this rp depends on how many people decided to join.
As for the host, I will use Pasquale. Also, I'm in the middle of typing questions for the rp. I'll give this rp a few days after I finish preparing the questions, and then I'll start it.

Okay, then. Raine, Melanie, Penny, Pepper, Jarrod, and Freckles will be the contestants that the rp will start with if no one else decided to join before it starts.

Okay, I have given this rp idea a few days after the last post I made here. Looks like the only people who are in the rp are Raine and me, so that's how it's gonna be for the entire rp. I'm gonna start this rp, right now.

Okay, this rp has just been finished. It is now closed. I'll come up with another idea for an rp that may come through later in the year.
