15 ideas for bonus point rules in my friend group's Survivor fantasy game

Although we're already 8 episodes in, I want to add some more complexity to my friend group's Survivor fantasy game (hopefully before we watch tomorrow). So, here are some ideas (of course, my group has to agree):

  1. 10 points for any player who finds an idol
  2. 5 points for any player who receives an idol
  3. 15 points for any player who uses an idol in a way that it actually saves someone from being voted off
  4. 15 points for any player who uses their shot in the dark and is then declared 'SAFE'
  5. --5 points for any player who receives/earns a disadvantage (e.g. loses their vote)
  6. 10 points for any player who receives/earns an advantage that is not an idol (e.g. a 'Steal a vote')
  7. 5 points for any player whose quote becomes an episode's title
  8. 5 points for any player who gives their reward etc. to another
  9. --15 points for any player who self-eliminates for a non-urgent reason
  10. 5 points for anything we collectively deem 'epic' with a max of 15 points per team (examples from previous seasons that would get my epic vote include Cirie convincing Eric to give up his immunity to prove his loyalty and then swiftly voting him out; Bob making the very first fake idol; and Boston Rob and Amber getting engaged at the finale)
  11. 5 points for being the longest lasting team of one
  12. 5 points for last team to have a player voted out
  13. --5 points for any player who went to tribal before the merge
  14. 15 points for any player who creates the need for a new Survivor rule (e.g. when Cirie was voted out of Survivor: Game Changers because there was literally no one else who could be voted for given the variety of advantages used, the producers changed the rules for future seasons so that that could not happen again)
  15. --20 points for any player who says/does something hateful (e.g. when Jeff Varner outed Zeke Smith for being trans on Survivor: Game Changers)

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
