1.  The absolute minimum I expect is that you vote at every tribal council you attend.

If you do not vote you will receive a self vote.

If you fail to vote at 2 consecutive tribal councils or 3 total tribal councils you will be medically evacuated from the game, and if this happens after the merge you will not be able to be part of the jury.

Please mail/Skype your vote to JB (_JB_).

2.  Once you have sent your vote in it can be changed as long as it is BEFORE the pre-determined lock in. Once the set time has been reached, votes will be locked and read promptly. Please remember this, as it is a part of the game you need to consider.

3.  The challenges this season will vary between LIVE and NON-LIVE challenges.

4.  Hidden immunity idols ARE in play. They will be hidden on the VERY FIRST blog of a random user. To claim this idol you must MAIL JB the LINK to the blog where you found it.

Only the FIRST castaway to find their tribe’s hidden immunity idol will receive it.

Idols will NOT be re-hidden (Once they are found, no matter how they spend their time in the game, you will not find another idol for that tribe).

Fake idols ARE IN PLAY. They may be placed if the recipient of the idol wishes to plant one in the place where the idol was hidden. However, if you find a fake idol and wish to plant a fake one, it will read as the idol was already found to anyone who finds the idol after you.

For each tribe there will be one hidden immunity idol. Meaning there will be 2 (or more) pre-merge hidden immunity idols and 1 idol for the merged tribe as well.

Opportunities will occur where you may receive CLUES to the location to your tribes hidden immunity idol.

The LAST time you can play an idol is at the final 6 tribal council, meaning when there are 6 castaways remaining.

To PLAY an idol, I prefer you notify me PRIOR to the reading of the votes, so that we are aware you are playing the idol. However, in some instances, LIVE plays are necessary and can be done.

5.  If there is a tie in the votes then we will have a re-vote. This re-vote will occur IMMEDIATELY after the votes are read, typically allotting around 30 minutes to send in your re-vote. If you do not send in a confirmation re-vote, or change your vote, then it will be assumed that your vote remains the same.

Everyone apart from those tied for the vote will vote. If there is a tie in the re-votes then those who are involved in the tie become immune and all parties (excluding those who are immune via individual immunity necklace, idol, or deadlock) will draw rocks to determine who is eliminated from the game.

This will not apply at the final four, if the situation arises then we will go to a FMC (Fire Making) tie breaker challenge.

6.  It is important that everyone has fun in this game. So I ask that you always treat everyone with respect.

Being that we are playing a competitive game, some drama and tension is expected throughout the game, which is perfectly okay as long as that remains in the game and the personal lives of the castaways is not involved.

The host resolves the right to remove you from the game at any time if this is violated.

7.  Please remember to send in confessionals at least once an episode, as well as add me to any Skype conversations. There WILL be a game chat on Skype, so if you do not have one, we advise that you download Skype promptly.

—

8.  If you are banned from Tengaged at any point during the game you will be medically evacuated from the game.
