Most of the boards use the following format:
Several choices are listed in the first post, each with a number of points (they usually start out with the same number, but there have been variations of this). When a person votes, he or she removes so many points (usually 10) from one option and adds them to another.
There is usually a limit to how often you can vote (usually have to wait for three other people to vote).
The last option remaining (ends up with all the points) wins, typically.
EXAMPLE GAME:
Britney Spears (10) Christina Aguilera (10)
I vote...
+10 Christina -10 Britney
Christina (20) Britney (0)
Christina wins.

Yes, and also you are only allowed to vote after every three people so no one takes over the survivor! :)

In Soviet Russia, survivor plays you! Seriously, rules are hard to come by in these games. A lot of boards have organized games, but 75% of the ones on Pulse are unorganized messes.

Very different than the survivors I'm used to on ATRL and UKMIX.

What format do they use? I stole this one from the now defunct TV Tome. Interestingly enough, the first survivor of its kind here completely flopped, yet the format stuck somehow. Feel free to introduce us to a new version though. Fresh ideas are always welcome. Just hope it isn't like our old vote off method. That was a hot rigged mess.

Actually, on ATRL, there's are a little bit of a mess with all that voting off, but UKMIX's are just so cool! For example, here's what the Jordin Sparks one was like. Round 1 - Post your two least favorite tracks. Round 2 - Post your two least favorite tracks. Round 3 - Post your two least favorite tracks and post your favorite to get one vote taken off. Round 4 - PM the host/hostess your ratings of the remaining tracks. Round 5 - PM the host/hostess your two least favorite tracks. Round 6 - Create a poll with the remaining two songs. The one with the most votes is the winner. Different survivors do different things. But the last one is just what kinda stuck around there. That's a very common thing for a UKMIX survivor to do. (Change the way elimination is like almost every round.)

Lately I've been into these and they are admittedly fun but how often does a single song actually win on these things?

I've disputed my claim after voting for the winner on the Kanye survivor.

I'm looking, and is it really still 'wait for three to play before you play again'? No wonder none of these games finish, no one comes back to play!

Can anyone make a survivor? I'd like to start one, so can I just go ahead and do it if there isn't one for the album I want or do I need to be added to a waiting list or something?

I don't understand if it's +/-10 How some songs jump from 230 up to 260 or if it's 30 it drops to 0. If someone can explain that to me I'd love to know.

Sometimes the scale is changed to a higher number when there has been little change in the scores. Usually the creator of that particular survivor can institute that change.

So all of my fellow survivor boos, let's talk +s and -s.
What do people generally look for when they decide to declare an increase in the +/-. I'd love to keep things somewhat consistent if we can think of something. Otherwise I guess we can all keep eyeballin' it.

I generally change the +/- once the round is winding down and it's becoming clearer which songs people want, just to speed things up. I think establishing a rule for that would be a bit complicated since each game has a different amount of choices and some games go faster than others (ex. A Gaga or Kelly survivor don't need the scores to change much because those stan groups are huge here and people are gonna be playing regardless, while JLo or Avril survivor don't have as many players, so the +/- needs to be changed to make sure we can keep the few players we have and keep things going, etc.)
