The Survivor Games
Rules
Gameplay
1. You are only allowed to sign up once. Proboards does let me detect multiple IP addresses, so if I see any that match, you will be disqualified.
2. While playing the game, keep conversations about the game. I'd prefer personal matters and other games stay out of conversations involving the game. The past is the past, and this game is the present, so I'd prefer you focus on the present and not bring past beefs with you into this game.
3. There is to be no cross-tribe communication. This is hard for me to control, so I'll have to trust you all just not to do it, but please avoid this as it does taint the dynamics of the game.
4. Everything in this game is already planned out, so there should be no accusing me of "rigging" the game for someone. The challenges are pre-planned and already written, so it's impossible for me to create one to benefit a specific player. Also, I'm the only one with access to confessionals, so there is no way any information will be leaked as I would never do so.
5. You cannot sit out the same person in back-to-back challenges. If someone sits out in one challenge, they must participate in the next one.
Tribal Council
1. From the moment Tribal Council starts, you will have until the deadline to submit your vote.
2. If you fail to vote, you will receive a self-vote, and if you self-vote twice in this game at anytime you will be removed.
3. In the case of a tie at Tribal Council, there will be a re-vote, and if the vote is still not settled, the people who received a vote will all be immune, and the remaining players (besides anyone previously immune) will choose rocks, and the player to receive the purple rock will be voted off.
4. At the Final 4 Tribal Council, in the case of a tie there will be a Tie Breaker Challenge as oppose to purple rocks.
5. Once you are voted off, you are out of the game. There is no Redemption Island or Outcast twists this season.
Confessionals
1. I'm not strict about confessionals; there is no penalty this season for not writing confessionals, however I do encourage you to write them.
2. Your confessional is your own personal journal and is completely private so write as much as you want, and about anything you wish.
Pre-Jury and Jury
1. Once you are voted out of the game, you are not allowed to talk to players who are still in the game about events occurring in the game. This is something that is difficult for me to control, but I hope that players who are remaining in the game would either avoid conversation about the game with pre-jurors or jurors, or report the pre-juror or juror attempting to talk to them to me.
