In order to keep track of inactive Houseguest's, penalty points will be awarded to those who fail to participate in competitions without a valid excuse. If a Houseguest receives 3 penalty points, they will be penalty nominated. Penalty nominations can occur despite the appearance of two nominee's on the eviction block. Penalty nominee's cannot be vetoed and penalty nominee's cannot play in any competitions during the week they're nominated.
After the nearest eviction, the penalty nominee will have their penalty points reset to 0 (unless they are evicted) and will be consequently removed from the block. The Houseguest will be allowed to participate in competitions as per normal. Furthermore, if a Houseguest receives another penalty nomination, they will be removed from the game and will be barred from the Jury (if they make it that far).

Diary Room's
On every Wednesday, every Houseguest must submit a Diary Room entry to me. These entries are proof that A) you're actually participating in the game and B) because I’m bored and want to know what's happening. The Diary Room entries will NOT be revealed at any point (even after the game is over) so please feel free to say anything you'd like (mean things are welcome!). You may talk about anything you'd like in your Diary Room entry. It can be one sentence, or 5 pages. It's all up to you.
You are allowed to submit a Diary Room entry whenever you'd like. Thus, if you feel the need to vent or talk to the DR, go ahead and message me. However, you must always message me a DR entry once a week on or before Wednesday. Any additional DR entries are up to you.
Failure to submit a Diary Room entry will result in a penalty point.

Just as a friendly reminder, you have 24 HOURS to complete any competition from the time it's posted. Thus, if I post something at 5PM EST, you will have until 5PM EST the following day to submit your entry. This is to give others living in another time zone a fair chance at winning a competition . All submissions for competitions or other requests (vote, noms, veto, etc) will be final unless stated otherwise beforehand (certain competitions may allow for multiple tries/submissions)

Houseguest's may only post in this thread in the game section.
This is where all house discussions will occur. PMing between houseguests is accepted and encouraged (as well as other forms of outside communication. How else would you scheme?!)
The game is starting before you are allowed to talk in the house. Based on the following introductions, please send me one vote for the person you would like to see be the first HoH. This first competition will test your ability to give a good first impression. You will have 24 hours to PM me the name of the person you would like to vote for. Until the HoH is revealed, you will not be allowed to post in the house thread, or contact the other players by any other means (Private Messages, etc).

"Hey y'all! My name is Ashlyn! I come from the crazy city of Toledo, Ohio. I'm a singer and dancer for my freetime. I even write my own songs and rap music! I am the only daughter of five siblings. So I am a natural tomboy. I am what people call grunge. So it may seem like I am a loner. Truth is, I am probably the most talkative chick ever. I can be very bitchy when people get on my bad side or if they diss something that I stand by to. Oh and I am happily in a relationship! So that's pretty much it. If you want to more then lemme know."

Masiexo:
"I'm Masie, i am fifteen years old.
I have a massive personality (good and bad), i hope that the housemates are nice, genuine, funny but if someone annoyed me then i would say something to them. I am a very honest person, if someone's nice to me, i can be their best friend but if someone's bad to me, i can be their worst nightmare.
I've decided to apply for this because I want to meet new people and just to genuine have a good/fun time."

"My name is E. James "Jmaze" Granecki. I live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex. By profession I do code enforcement for a municipality.
I am an avid camper. I have climbed the highest peaks in Texas and Colorado, as well as many other mountains. My inspiration in life is an adventurous spirit. My favorite quote is George Mallory's concerning his motive for climbing Everest: "Because it's there." This reasoning I use to justify all my endeavors.
Three words that describe me are dedicated, dependable and idealistic. I can't stand people who are fickle and non-resilient in their resolve.
I can't wait to play BBQ BB and think I'll do well as an active participant."

Again, you have 24 hours to PM me your vote. Once the vote is finalized and the HoH is revealed, the house thread will open up and you will be allowed to post. This also goes for outside communication, no PMs with the others until the HoH competition is over. In the event of a tie, those who did not vote for the tied houseguests will be asked to change their vote to one of the eligible players.
Any and all questions or concerns should be sent to me in a Private Message.
