I just want to run through some rules etc. about the season, which begins at 5:00pm CST/11:00pm BST Monday May 7th(5/7)!

- New Challenges will take place everyday at 5:30pm CST/11:30pm BST. DO NOT freak out if I am not there at that exact time, I may be 10 minutes late (at the latest) sometimes.

- STRAIGHT after the challenge has finished, Tribal Council begins. I will mail all saying that they have to vote. You have from the end of the challenge until 5:00pm CST/11:00pm BST the next day in which to vote, or you recieve a self-vote. I will read the votes at that time regardless if everyone voted because of Hidden Immunity idols and the chance to play them.

- Hidden Immunity idols can be played prior to tribal council, or during tribal council. Mail me, or arrive before I read the votes to play it. If you're playing it on someone else, let me know. If you're giving it to someone, allowing them to make the choice to play it, let me know.

NOTE:
- If I mess up as I sometimes do and give a point or something to the wrong team, then don't shout at me. I will NOT give you a point. It's quite simple. I don't rig my games. They are 100% fair, honest and non-bias in any way.

-Notify me if you'll be gone for more than 24 hours, and give me your vote in the case that your tribe goes to tribal.

- PLEASE SHOW UP FOR THE CHALLENGES! You guys are an active bunch, and you most of you have said that you can make it at 5:30pm CST/11:30pm BST everyday. We all know inactiveness does not look good at Tribal.

Those are the basic rules.
Please try and stick to them.

If you cannot make the challenges, DO NOT JUST QUIT. The physical game is only a third of the story - the social and strategic games are still vital parts of Survivor.

Thanks for applying for the season, and I hope you enjoy LoganWorm's Survivor 3: Japan

TRIBAL TIEBREAKERS:
If there is a tie there will be a re-vote. If the re-vote does not solve things, then we go to the PURPLE ROCK tiebreaker.

PRE-MERGE CHALLENGE TIEBREAKERS:
If there is a tie, ONLY 1 member from each tribe will play Rock, Paper, Scissors to figure out which tribe will win. It will be best 2/3. For anything to qualify as a tie, the scores have to be EXACTLY THE SAME.

INDIVIDUAL CHALLENGE TIEBREAKERS:
If there is a tie,whoever tied will play Rock, Paper, Scissors to figure out which tribe will win. If there's more than 2, then it will be setup in a tournament fashion. It will be best 2/3. For anything to qualify as a tie, the scores have to be EXACTLY THE SAME.

ACTIVENESS TEST:
As an activeness test, can you post that you have read and understand the rules above?
