• All live challenges will start at 6:30pm EST each day unless otherwise stated the day before. If the time of a live challenge changes (which is rare), it will usually be between 6pm and 8pm EST.
• Most challenges will be non-live, but there will be some live challenges too. These will go on for a portion of the day, usually starting right after the vote read, and ending somewhere between 6pm and 8pm EST.
• Straight after the challenge has finished, Tribal Council begins. I will mail all of you to send in your votes. You have 24hrs to cast your vote. I will read the votes at that time OR when everyone has voted.
• If someone asks to hold the vote OR a re-vote occurs, then the votes will be read the next day, just before the next challenge.
• If you have won Individual Immunity, you will be asked after you have won it if you would like to give it up to someone else. You must answer yes with who you want to give it to or not within 30 minutes of Tribal starting, or else you loose that chance.
• If you have been offline for more than 24hrs, you will automatically get a self-vote at Tribal Council for obvious reasons. Please DON'T go offline for more than 24hrs, or at least notify me if you need to and send me the person you want to vote if your tribe goes to Tribal so it helps me out.
• PLEASE SHOW UP FOR THE CHALLENGES! We all know inactiveness does not look good at Tribal Council. If you don't show up without telling me you can't be there, I may ask you why.
• Hidden Immunity Idols are in play this season. They must be played BEFORE one of the hosts reads the votes. You CANNOT play the idol when the vote read begins because the host will be saying "If you have an idol and have already played it, please stand now".
• Idols may be passed to another player if the idol owner wishes to. This can be a player from either tribe, and the idol can be passed around as many times before it is played.
[NEW TWIST]
• Half Idols - Each person starts the game with half of a Hidden Immunity Idol. This half, when joined with another half creates a full idol which can be played any when up to the Final Five. The other half of each idol is owned by someone on the opposite tribe. Castaways must correctly guess who that person is to 'snatch' their half of the idol for them to create one full one which can be played. However if their half of the idol gets 'snatched' by someone else, they will get told by the host that it has happened, and will therefore no longer be in possession of an idol half.
• Halves owned by voted out players are permanently removed from the game, and if the person owning the other half of your idol is out, then it is impossible to make a full idol which you can play. Castaways need to make sure they get the other half of the idol BEFORE that person is voted off or they snatch their half.
• The person who snatches the half and makes a full idol will know who it is they snatched from, and will know it is impossible for them to get an idol. The person who gets their piece snatched from their hands however does not know who snatched it.
CONFESSIONALS ARE A MUST. If I don't get confessionals from you I may bug you for some. It's at your own loss if you don't send confessionals, because otherwise I have no way to judge your game. No way of knowing if you are in the majority or the minority. No way of knowing if you are making moves or playing a game that is worthy of coming back for a future season. So send me confessionals!
That's basically it. The rules are basic and please try to stick with it because to make it easier for me to host the game. Thank you! ~
