Below is some helpful information about rules of the game and how things will work.
Challenges:
There will be atleast one challenge each round, so if you need immunity then you have a chance. Also while your tribe may work together on the challenge it is necessary that everyone submits the answers themselves through pm (Unless a posting challenge). If someone on your tribe doesn't you may recieve penalty, based on the challenge instructions.
Voting:
When voting you must vote for someone other then yourself or any immune person. All votes must be submitted by the deadline to be counted. On every vote make sure to include your reason for voting the way you did. This season you will have to pm your votes, and once you do so you cannot change that vote. If you do not vote on time your vote will be cast against you.
Tie Votes:
In the case of a tie vote, there will be a revote between all of the tied individuals, if that vote is a tie all the tied castaways will become immune and everyone else will draw rocks unless someone else has the immunity necklace or other means of immunity. If there are only 4 there will be no drawing rocks but a live challenge instead.
Confessionals:
You must post atleast 1 confessional per round. Since there are prediction writers this season you are strongly suggested to post as much as you can about the game. Include any conversations or whatever else you want in your confessionals.
Prediction Writers:
The prediction writers were all contestants from the first 2 seasons of this series. They are at no point be allowed to give you valuable information or hint you in any way about this game. So don't look for any. I know some of you talk to some of the prediction writers and that is fine just leave the game chat aside.
Pre-planned:
This entire game has been pre-planned. Everything from any tribal shake-ups to every single challenge has been decided upon before the start of this game.
Host:
I have the final say, if you cannot handle being in this game and it is time for you to leave, or if I make a ruling on a challenge then that is what will go. I do appreciate your opinions and will take them into consideration. Please try to treat me with some respect.
Survivor Live:
This may or mat not happen this season, it fell through last season so it is only an option at this point.
Game Speed:
This game will be fast. Season 1 finished in 40 some days, while season 2 had its finale on Night 38. You will have to be very active to keep up and survive in the game.
All-Stars: All-Stars will take place during Season 5. This game will end sometime early February, while Survivor: ? will take place from mid/late February on into mid/late March. So All-Stars is set to begin in late March or early April. The All-Stars selected from Survivor: Cook Islands, Survivor: Exile Island and this season will be announced at the Finale of this game.
If you have any questions or if something is unclear do not hestitate to ask.
