Okay, first things first, you NEED to sign and agree to the following rules or else you will not be able to participate in the first challenge, and trust me, you wanna participate in it! The rules are very simple and very standard, so just agree so we can get this started!
1. This is a closed ID game, so that means you cannot reveal your ID to anyone, whether it be screen-names or message boards you post at, ANYWHERE. Please, also be wary of posting emoticons that can easily identify yourself too or saying anything that is easily identifiable. Most importantly, please do not talk about this game outside of this forum to anyone whilst it is going. That includes if you are eliminated, or in the jury!
2. Stay active or you die. What I mean by that is if you go inactive, the hosts reserve the right to remove you without warning. If you need to go away for a few days, let the hosts know. We’re very forgiving, but you need to let us know beforehand. If you disappear without warning you may be removed from the game, no questions asked. Real life stuff comes first, I get that, and we're usually accommodating to things, but you need to let us know if you can't show up for more than 24 hours.
3. Voting! You have to vote. Whenever you go to tribal council, you have to vote, no questions asked. You ARE able to leave a pre-vote list if you cannot show up, but you must let the hosts know so we can prepare accordingly. You can also change your vote as many times as you’d like until votes are final. If you do not vote, it will be recorded as a self-vote against you. If you have recorded a self-vote and you don't vote again, it will triple, and will do so each time. Basically, if you don't vote for 3 times, on the 3rd time you will have 9 votes cast against you. Long story short, just vote, okay?
Oh, and may as well say this here out in the open, if votes are tied we WILL go to a re-vote. If votes are still tied, the people immune, plus whoever has the votes against them will be immune and everyone else will draw rocks! Yay for rocks! Final 4 onwards, a tie on a re-vote will result in the two people with votes doing a tie-breaker challenge.
4. No cheating. Please do not use bots or other people to aid you in challenges. It goes against this spirit of the game to seek third party assistance. If we suspect you are using bots or having someone help you, you will be punished accordingly.
5. Hosts decisions will be final. If you think we have screwed up somewhere, then PLEASE let us know and we’ll give you the time and respect to investigate, but if we haven't, what we say will go.
6. A lot of time has been put into this season to make it a fun game for all. Please don't abuse the hosts or give them grief - after all, we are all doing this for your benefit and volunteering hours of our time to give you a fun, exciting game. Please, be kind, and patient!
7. I don't have a function to turn off PM's, so when I say that PM's are not allowed, they are not allowed. PM's won't be allowed during challenges or tribals but we'll state when you can PM and when you can't. The hosts know when PM's are sent, so you can't get away with it, so don’t even bother trying. Trying will only result in punishments being given out.
8. Please keep swearing and racial remarks to the minimum. We all swear, but there could be people playing this game that find swearing offensive, so just use your prerogative please. That is not to say that you cannot ever utter a curse word, far from it, but just keep in mind that we have people of all ages and cultural backgrounds playing here, and the last thing we want is for anyone to get offended. I understand that this is a game, but please, just be very mindful of the sensitivities of the others you’re playing with.
9. Don't change anything to do with your profile. You may not edit or delete your posts in any way including voting posts. Use the BB Code/Preview tabs to view posts before hitting post if necessary. Also, please don't change any profile settings without clearing it first with a host. There's reasons for the way things have been set up. Some things I don't mind you changing but always check first before doing so.
10. No communicating with the lurkers or members of the other tribes when tribes are in place. Again, we can easily tell if you do and punishments will be handed out if caught.
11. When you are voted out, you cannot PM anyone else in the game. You also cannot PM the other losers. You will have a forum where you can discuss things with if you want.
12. When the jury stage of the game starts, please be active on the jury. Yes, I get that you have Real Life commitments, but if I think you haven't followed the game enough to be able to vote, then you will forfeit your right to vote, simple as that. You can't disappear and then show up on the final night and be expected to still have the right to vote.
But most of all, PLEASE have fun and good luck! If you ever have any questions or any concerns, please PM a host and we’ll do our best to get back to you immediately!
