The Rules
Activity:
All players are expected to be active in the game. Players are expected to participate in challenges, vote at every tribal council, write confessionals and post game conversations each episode. Inactivity will result in removal from the game.
Challenges:
The only type of challenge in the game are immunity challenges. There are two types of immunity challenges, tribal and individual. Tribal challenges will be done with your entire tribe and the entire tribe will win immunity. Individual challenges will be done alone and immunity will be given to the winner. Challenges will typically be either be live or non-live for 24 hours, unless otherwise stated. You will be notified beforehand. I will do my best to make sure everyone has the best chance to make it to live challenges.
Confessionals:
In order to participate in Tribal Councils you are required to post a minimum of one confessional per Episode. If you fail to do this without a valid reason you will not be able to vote at Tribal Council. Failure to write in your confessional could lead to you being removed from the game. In addition to confessionals it is recommended that you post conversations that you have had with players pertaining to the game.
Cross Tribal Communication:
The first half of the game will have players divided on separate tribes. Players are not allowed to communicate with players that are not on their own tribe at the current time. Players caught breaking this rule will be penalized. This is your warning.
Episodes:
Episodes will last on average 3 days. Some may be shorter and some may be a little longer depending on what is going on in that episode.
Immunity:
The winner of the Immunity Challenge will be immune for following next tribal council. Individual Immunity winners can give their immunity away if they chose to. But they must decide and post that they are giving away immunity before Tribal Council is posted. Once Tribal Council begins immunity can't be given away to another player.
Jury:
Once a player reaches a specific point in the game the jury will begin. All voted out players will join the jury and once the game reaches the finals they are required to address the Finalists and then vote for a winner.
Tribal Council:
You will have up to 24 hours to cast your vote for Tribal Council. If you fail to vote by the dead line you will receive a self vote. Once you are voted out of the game you are to write your Final Words in your confessional. If a tie occurs all players attending Tribal Council will revote for the people involved in the tie. Each tie in the game will be addressed with a different tie breaker event. Tie breaker events include: Tribe Splitting, Self Votes, Past Votes, Challenge Duel or PROD. The tie breaker event order has been pre-selected.
Voted Out Players:
Once a player is voted out they are not allowed to speak with players still in the game about game. Jurors are not allowed to speak with players still in the game at all. Players will lose access to the board and jurors will lose their jury spot if they are caught doing this. Players still in the game will be penalized if caught speaking to voted out players.
Voting:
Players will usually have 24 hours to vote. There will be exceptions. Also you may change your vote as many times as you want before the dead line. To change your vote add a reply to the vote thread with your new vote and the reason you are changing it. You are not allowed to edit an already cast vote. Doing so will lose you the option to edit in your confessional for the rest of the game. Once the dead line hits there are no exceptions.
To ensure that you have read the rules, in your application write "I have read the rules" at the end of your application.
