Thank you for applying to Slothy's Survivor: Saint Lucia! Please read these rules carefully.

🍍Golden Rules🍍

- This game is meant for fun, do not take anything personal.
- You are not allowed to make any third-party deals (things that are not associated with the game) with other contestants while playing (eg; I will give you ten dollars if you do not vote for me). This includes both blackmail and bribery.
- You are not allowed to bully any other contestants or members of the community.

🍍Requirements🍍

- You must have a skype account.
- You must be able to access Tengaged / Skype regularly for game updates.

🍍Game Proper🍍

- Players are encouraged to add their tribemates on Skype and converse with them.
- Talking to members of the opposite tribe is discouraged, however not prohibited.
- It is the contestant's responsibility to regularly check for game updates such as tribal councils and challenges.
- Penalties will be imposed to anybody who will be caught violating any rule in this post.
- Any violation that would merit any contestant disqualification, with the exception of consecutive self-votes, results in a permanent ban from joining future seasons of the ORG.

🍍Challenges🍍

Challenges will vary from flash games, to quizzes, to puzzles, to live challenges and much more.
- Once you submit a score for a challenge, you are not allowed to resubmit.
- When a challenge is posted, the contestants will be given a deadline. If they fail to submit the challenge before the deadline their tribe will receive a penalty.

🍍Immunity Challenges🍍

- During the tribal stage of the game, each tribe will compete in immunity challenges.
- The losing tribe will attend tribal council and vote someone off their tribe.
- If a tribe has a numbers advantage, they will be required to sit out one member of their tribe. If a tribe fails to notify the host who will be sitting out, the host will randomly select someone to sit out.
- At the merge, players will compete for individual immunity. The contestant who wins individual immunity cannot be voted for at tribal council.
- All immunity challenges are mandatory.

🍍Tribal Council🍍

- The tribe that loses immunity will attend tribal council.
- Tribal councils will be made public and the other tribe will be able to see the results.
- During the merge all players left in the game must attend tribal council. The contestant with individual immunity cannot be voted for but will vote at tribal council.
- You may be asked a question at Tribal Council, so please answer it.
- Once a Tribal Council thread is posted, the tribe must vote within the given time period.
- All votes must be sent to the host over Tengaged or Skype (PMs)
- You may be asked to vote on a parchment. This allows you to draw and edit your vote however you like. If you are unable to do this, just send me a vote.
- When you vote, you must also write a voting confessional (Why you're voting for this person)
- If after a given deadline, a player was not able to vote, they will automatically get a "self-vote" for a first offense, meaning that their vote is cast against themselves. A third offense (defined as failing to vote at three separate Tribal Councils) will result in disqualification, cancelling the voting process.
- If you wish to play an idol at tribal council, you must notify the host before the deadline.
Once you submit your vote, you are allowed to change your vote.

🍍Tie Breakers🍍

- In the event of a tie at tribal council, a re-vote will be held. The contestants who are tied will not vote.
- If there is still a tie after the revote, the contestants will draw rocks to see who gets voted out.
- The contestants who are tied will be immune from drawing rocks as well as any player(s) with individual immunity or any players who played a hidden immunity idol.
- If there is a tie at the final 4, the 2 contestants who are tied with face off in a challenge. - The winner of the challenge will stay in the game.

🍍Being voted out🍍

- Once you are voted out of the game, you will be removed from the tribe chat.
- Once you are voted out, you are no longer allowed to communicate with those still in the game (About game related topics)
- After you are voted out you may be asked for final words.
- After being voted out, I encourage you to continue following the season (Especially if you are on the jury)
- If you are voted out in the Jury stage, you will be added to a Ponderosa chat, where I will give you regular updates on Challenge wins / vote offs.

🍍Jury🍍

- Once the jury phase of the game starts, when players are voted out, they will be removed from the tribe chat and placed in the ponderosa chat.
- Jury members are not permitted to talk to players who are still in the game.
- Jury members are allowed to discuss the game in the ponderosa chat but not with anyone left in the game.
- If a jury member is caught interfering with the game they will be removed from the jury.
- In the event that someone is removed from the jury the person voted off before the jury may join the jury or the jury will remain as is depending on the numbers. The host will determine what will happen depending on the specific case.

🍍Hidden Immunity Idols🍍

- If you find a clue, you can chose to keep it to yourself or share it with others but you may not share it with a member of the opposite tribe.
- If you wish to use a hidden immunity idol, you must inform the host before the votes are read.
- If you are playing your idol for someone other than yourself, you must specify who you wish to play it for.
- If you want to give possession of your idol to another player in the game, you must tell the hosts and they will transfer the idol for you.
- Idols cannot be transferred cross tribal.
- The idol can be used up to and including the final 5. After that it’s just a fancy souvenir.
