-Nonlive challenges will always last 24 hours, though the degree of participation during those 24 hours may vary.
-The winners of the immunity challenge will be safe from the following tribal council.

Tribal Council:
-Tribal council will be posted promptly following the immunity challenge for the losing tribe(s).
-Every person at tribal must cast a vote to eliminate another castaway.
-The person who receives the most valid votes at tribal will be eliminated from the game.
-Votes will always due at 6 EST the next day unless specified by the hosts.
-Changing your vote is allowed as long as it is changed before the deadline.
-If there are extenuating circumstances, the voting deadline may be requested to be pushed back slightly, however, this should be a rare occurrence.
-In the case of a medical evacuation, tribal council will be cancelled.
-Tribal council may be cancelled in the event of a quit or a removal, but only if the removed person was attending tribal council themself.

Self Votes:
-If you do not vote, you will receive a self vote for the tribal council you are attending.
-Intentional self votes are not allowed.
-If you self vote twice in a row, or three times in total, you will be medically evacuated from the game.
-In the instance that someone with a self vote is part of a tie in a tribal council, they will receive a penalty vote against them in the revote.
-If a vote becomes deadlocked with a self voter as part of the tie, they will automatically be eliminated in place of drawing rocks.

Idols:
-Idols will be hidden on the oldest blog of a Tengaged user.
-If you find an idol, send the blog link to both hosts. We will get back to you as quickly as we can to tell you whether you found the idol or a wrapper.
-Premerge idols will only be hidden once and will not be rehidden if used.
-Merge idols once used or removed from the game will be rehidden. The new idol will be hidden directly following the next immunity challenge.
-Idol clues will typically be given out to the winners of the immunity challenges, though there can be instances where this isn't true.
-The last time idols can be played is at the final 5.

Final Tribal Council:
-At the end of the season, the Final 2 or Final 3 will each have a chance to plead their case to the jury.
-After every finalist has posted their FTC speech, the floor will be open for the jury to ask questions or make statements directed towards the finalists.
-The jury will have at least a full 24 hours to question the finalists and get their answers in return.
-Every member of the jury will vote for one finalist to win the game, with the finalist with the most jury votes being crowned Sole Survivor.
-If the vote ties in a Final 2 scenario, the last prejuror will be called in to cast a tiebreaker vote to decide a winner.
-If the vote ties in a Final 3 scenario, the third placer will be the one to cast the tiebreaking vote between the top 2.
-In the rare occurrence that all three finalists are tied, then the final prejuror will be called in to cast the tie-breaking vote between the three.

Confessionals:
-While we can't force them, sending regular confessionals is a pseudo-requirement for this series.
-Confessionals help the hosts get a better understanding of the gameplay and will increase your chances of returning in the future and receiving post-season awards

Code of Conduct:
-This is a game and we as hosts understand altercations are bound to happen which is fine, however, we will not tolerate any personal attacks in the game.
-Any instances of discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, etc. will not be tolerated.
-Cheating of any kind such as using photoshop/inspect element on challenges or usage of multis is obviously prohibited.
-Incessant berating of the hosts is not allowed. We're only human and do our best. We understand people can get heated in the moment but we will not take abuse or manipulation from the contenstants.
-Initial offences may be met with a warning but if disruptive behaviors continue or if the breach of the rules serious enough, the hosts hold the right to remove anyone from the game if need be.
