RULES/REGULATIONS
Immunity Challenges: Immunity Challenges are one of two Challenges. They can be Tribal or Individual. During the Tribal portion of the game, these challenges will crown one Tribe “winner” of the Immunity Idol. This means that whichever Tribe wins the Challenge, they’ll be “Immune” or safe from going to Tribal Council. The losing Tribe will have to go to Tribal Council and vote a member off their tribe. During the Individual portion of the game, this will usually crown only one “winner” of the Immunity Idol, meaning he or she is safe from the vote.
The Immunity Challenges will tend to be more difficult and tense than a Reward Challenge. You will usually have 24 hours to complete what I have to give you. If it’s possible, I’ll only accept the first answer of something you PM me so it would be wise to double-check everything. These are the main aspect of the round.
Reward Challenges: Reward Challenges are rare to find in Online Reality Games. But you are all lucky to find out that Reward Challenges are in this one. A Reward Challenge is usually a simple challenge. The winner of these challenges will win a Reward, something that usually helps them on their journey to the end. There are two types of Rewards, Tribal and Individual. Tribal Rewards will impact everyone as a Tribe while Individual Rewards will help out the sole winner of these challenges.
As same with the Immunity Challenges, when it counts, you’ll have 24 hours to complete the challenge. The Tie-Breaker is always time and also, I’ll only accept the first PM you send me. Reward Challenges are my special ways of making twists in the game, so make sure you pay attention on what you’re playing for each time you play.
Tribal Council: Tribal Council is a place where someone is going to get voted out from the game, thus ending their career. If you are not immune, you will be heading there with the danger of getting voted out. Anything could happen, but I want to make it clear. You must have a boot list of all of the members in your tribe in case you happen to not vote. This is important because if you do not vote, I can use your boot list. However, if you do not send in a vote nor a boot list, I’ll have to be forced to give you a “Self-Vote”, meaning that you will vote for yourself. This could be detrimental to the outcome of your career in lasting here.
As always, the person with the Majority of the total votes will be sent home. However, there is sometimes a Tie in the process. This Tie-Breaker will be done differently. If there is a tie during Odd-Numbered Voting Rounds during Tribal Council, everyone will have to cast their votes for one of the two people who is in the tie, thus ending the Tie. However, if there’s a tie in Even-numbered Voting Rounds, a re-vote will occur. If there is another Tie after that, a Tie-Breaker challenge will be performed by the two people who have votes. The challenge will be a miniature challenge of those I have already made or some unused challenges that never made the cut.
Jury: Typically a Jury consists of 7-9 people that were voted off near the end stage of the game. Since this game will consist of 16 people, the Jury will have to start after 6 people have been voted out. This means that everyone who applies have a 62.5% of making it to the Jury or Final Two. The Jury’s sole job is to learn from whatever information they can get and with their characteristics of a Winner, will decide whomever from the Final Two to become the Winner. The Jury will have a little more impact than usual in this game however. That will be revealed when the time comes. The Jury will be housed in a “Jury Hut”, a special board for only them to access. They’ll discuss whatever they wish, maybe about the current situations of the players.
The Jury will then get a chance to talk and question the Final Two players for the vote. This is called the “Final Tribal Council”. This Tribal Council is where you are the Jury will get the chance to evaluate the Final Two. You get a chance to ask and learn new information you didn’t get a chance to. It is advised to look over your elimination and vote for who you truly believed play the best game.
Tribes: Tribes are essentially a team. In the beginning of the game, there are usually about two tribes. Each Tribe will usually consist of eight people, all wanting to play the game. The beginning Tribes would be named by me by whatever circumstances the game takes place in. The Tribes will battle against each other, go to Tribal Council together, Win or Lose Challenges together and will be living together. It is recommended you get to meet your fellow Tribes mate as they hold the fate on who gets voted out.
Near the end, the two Tribes will become one. This is called a “Merged” Tribe. This is when the game turns individual and everyone will attend Tribal Council. The name of the Merged Tribe will be thought of by the players in the actual Tribe. So make sure you bring your creativity into naming the Tribe. The Merged Tribe will continue to diminish until we are left with our Final Two players.
Confessionals: Confessionals are really an integral part of the game. Each player will receive their own board. No one will have access to your board, only me. You may do anything in them and some challenges will be held inside yours. But it is really important that you write down any information you get from the game as this might help you in the end. Also, I might be making episodes of the season and it’ll be really helpful if you copied down whatever information you get. It’ll be great if each of you posted in your confessionals once every round at least.
Boot Lists: This concept might be a little new to some people. A Boot-List is basically a numbered list of everyone in your Tribe. (1 meaning most likely to vote). This list will help me decide who you vote for if you happen to be MIA and I don’t have a vote from you. It’s important to update it as soon as you can because your list might be different from whom you really want to vote out. You wouldn’t have to worry about this unless you don’t send in a vote for me in PM. These will be in your confessionals.
AIM: For this game, it is completely necessary to get AIM. AIM is a chat program where you are able to chat with others who have Usernames in the program. This is important to get because some challenges are based on AIM and AIM is a great way to talk to others in the game. You all must get one by going to the AIM website and preferably downloading the latest AIM software. I will specifically tell you when a challenge is on AIM. For everyone’s knowledge, my AIM name is “Crazycrazy4393”.
That’s basically the whole game explained. I’m not really sure when this game will start, but it’s ready to go anytime. Please read these rules if you are interested in playing and make sure you meet all of the criteria necessary for this game. Good luck.
