Just follow a few simple rules and this will be a fun game
1. Be Active
- The best thing you can do for a host is be active! The more active people in this game the more fun it will be! I don't expect page long confessionals daily, i just expect participation in every challenge, voting at all tribal councils, and maybe the occasional update on how it is going.
- With that being said... there will eventually be an all star season and I will pick the most entertaining players so having a active confessional thread is a big, big plus but there will be no penalty for not confessing.
- On the issue of self-votes... if you do not vote in the time allotted (usually 24 hours)you will receive a self vote. Two self votes and i probably will remove you from the game. An easy way to avoid this is to leave a boot list.
2. Don't Cheat
- I as the host have the right to remove anyone that i assume is cheating. With that being said as long as you don't cheat i'll have no reason to assume. I WILL BE CHECKING IP ADDRESSES
- Also, I will in no way be rigging this game in anyone's favor and will not approve of being accused off. If you do feel like something fishy is going on feel free to bring it up (in a non-accusing way) and i will hopefully be able to explain what happened.
3. Challenges/Twists
- All challenges and twists have pre-determined and will not change unless something crazy happens (people quitting/ inactivity) and if that happens i will not add anything just remove some of the challenges.
- A majority of the challenges will be non-live and last 24 hours. I will let you know if the 24 hour challenge is time sensitive or not. No challenge submissions will be accepted after the deadline is up.
- There will be a few live challenges throughout the duration of the game. Hopefully at the conclusion of the previous challenge i will post a poll with 4 or 5 possible times for the live challenge. The time that gets the most votes will be the time that the live challenge is at. Most live tribal challenges will not involve all members of the tribe to make it fair for those in other regions.
4. Tribal Councils
- I will try to post tribal councils immediately following the conclusion of the immunity challenge. Tribal will last 24 hours or if i receive the votes before hand.
- You ARE allowed to change your vote, however if i get all the votes before the deadline i will post the results. To avoid this hurting your game you may put (subject to change) by your vote and i will not reveal them until the deadline has passed. I would prefer if when you do decide not to change your vote... posting a secondary message saying... i'm not going to change it.
- If you want to play your idol please play it with your vote... if you vote and do not play your idol and i read the votes early its your fault. Similar to the changing vote you may put (I may play my idol) and i will wait till the deadline. Once again i would prefer this only if necessary as i like posting results when i get them.
- In the event of a tie. There will be a 12-24 hour re-vote (depends on when i can get on the following day) if you do not vote in that time your vote will be the same as the first time. In preparation to avoid this (if you want to change your vote for whatever reason). When you do your original vote you may post (in the event of a tie between A and B i vote for B). If you self-voted or voted for someone not in the tie... i will use your bootlist and if you do not have one you will not have a vote.
- In the event of a second tie, there will be a LIVE purple rock ceremony on AIM before the next challenge. Everyone online at the time will be able to pick there numbers where the rest will be random. Like in the real show the people involved in the tie as well as anyone who has immunity (necklace or idol) will not be required to pick rocks. While this method may not seem fair... I DO NOT WANT TIE! The only time it will not be a purple rock is in the final four, where it is a tie breaker challenge.
RESPECT THE OTHER PLAYERS AND HAVE FUN!
Thank you and I hope you enjoy my game!
