Hello castaways! Below I have outlined the basic rules that Survivor: Madagascar - Heroes vs Villains will follow, and it is required that every player reads the rules so that there is no confusion or disputes regarding them as the game progresses.
-Voting: A Tribal Council forum will be created immediately after the conclusion of the Immunity Challenge. You will be given a good 20-24 hours to send in your vote
→If there is a tied vote, everyone except for the people who received votes in the tied vote will re-vote. If the re-vote results in a tie, the castaways who received votes in the tie will become immune, and everyone else will draw rocks. If there is a tie at final four, everyone except the immunity necklace holder will have to draw rocks.
→If you self-vote two times in a row you will be medically evacuated or if you self-vote three times in general you are also evacuated. Self votes will be revealed as a self vote at Tribal Council.
→You're allowed to change your vote as many times as you want as long as you get it in before the deadline.
→ If someone is medically evacuated or quits at Tribal Council, then Tribal Council will be cancelled.
-Challenges will consist of a mix of live, non-live and semi-live challenges. These challenges will range from 6pm EST-9pm EST. Challenges will be hosted by either Mike, I, or both of us.
-Hidden Immunity Idols: There will be hidden immunity idols this season. You can either play them during the tribal where we allow anyone with an idol to play their idol, or mail us prior to the votes being read. They will be hidden in the oldest blog of a user. To claim an idol, you must mail Mike or I the link of the blog. Because Fake Idols are in play, we will NOT confirm whether you are the first to get the idol or not.
No premerge idols will be rehidden and the merge idol will only be rehidden ONCE. Idols will be hidden at the conclusion of the first challenge.
-Idol Nullifiers: We will be hiding only two Idol Nullifiers pre-merge and we will be hiding another one at merge. You are allowed to play an idol nullifier live (after an idol has been played) or when casting your vote (we will not accept "if this happens" situations. It must be "I am playing it on ___"). An idol nullifier can only be countered if a second Hidden Immunity Idol is played for the target. We will not be giving out clues for idol nullifiers and they will not be re-hidden after used. They will be hidden at the conclusion of the first challenge.
-Idol Transfers: We do allow idol transfers. If you are on the same tribe, you just have to make a mail including Mike and I. If it's a cross-tribal transfer, a public forum must be made.
-Black Vote: This season, we are allowing those voted out to gain some retribution against those who wronged them in the game. Once you are voted out, you are out of the game for good. But with this twist, the most recent person voted out will attend their tribe's next Tribal Council, and will be able to cast a vote! This will last until FINAL SIX.
-Confessionals: Confessionals are a REQUIREMENT! There is no restriction on the length or amount of confessionals that you send, so we implore you to send a lot! Remember, not sending any will hurt your chances for potentially returning or even returning again. Also, you will all be given the option on whether you want your confessionals posted in a private group we only have access to or that you don't want us to post them at all. Please private message us where you want your confessionals! If you do not mail me I will assume you want them in the private group.
***NOTE: Send your confessionals to both Mike and I through TENGAGED (aka, not Skype)!***
If you have any questions, feel free to message either Mike or I.
