Hello castaways and welcome to Survivor Laos,
First, I want to congratulate the eighteen castaways who have ultimately decided to play this season. Like I stated earlier, if you were not chosen don't feel too disappointed as odds are that another season will come sometime in the future.
Challenges
-------------
Section 1A - Challenges will consist of a mix of live, non-live and semi-live challenges.
Section 1B - Challenges will be anywhere between 6-9pm EST.
Section 1C - At the final stages of the game there will be a live finale episode (5-6 individuals).
Confessionals
-----------------
Section 2A - I'm trusting everyone will send confessionals at least once per episode.
Section 2B - If you send confessionals it will give me a better idea how the season is playing out.
Hidden Immunity Idols
----------------------------
Section 3A - This season idols will be hidden on the second oldest blog of a tengaged user.
Section 3B - There will be an idol in play for each tribe and they will be rehidden (once).
Section 3C - Idols are good up until the "final five" vote (can be used at final five).
Section 3D - The merge idol will be rehidden this season (once).
Section 3AC - You're also allowed to give out fake idols. I will not verify if an idol is real or not if you decide to give one to another castaway. Just remember, I need to be in the mail if you're passing fake/real idol to another castaway on your tribe.
Section 3BC - Idols can only be transferred during challenges if on separate tribes.
Section 3CC - Advantages/Idols will not be hidden under banned users or skeletons.
Voting Deadlines
--------------------
Section 4A - The deadlines this season will likely range anywhere from 6pm-8pm EST.
Section 4B - If you self-vote two times in a row you will be medically evacuated, offline for more than 3 days or if you self-vote three times in general you are also evacuated.
Section 4C - If there are four individuals on a tribe and the vote ties the individuals in the tie will draw rocks. If there are two individuals on a tribe then they'll go to fire-making.
Double Boot Episode
-------------------------
Section 5A - There will be “one” fast forward this season where a whole round of Survivor will take place. It will consist of an immunity challenge and tribal with a fifteen-minute voting deadline. If you won't be online for the fast forward then you'll be required to send a bootlist.
Grace Period
----------------
Section 6A - Also, not joining the main group and or being over three days after the conclusion of the first tribal will lead to a medical evacuation.
Section 6B - I will reveal self-votes at tribal council when reading the votes.
Section 6C - You're allowed to change your vote as many times as you want as long as you get it in before the deadline.
Section 6D - Pick one platform to vote on whether it's Skype or Tengaged to avoid confusion.
Immunity Necklace
------------------------
Section 7A - If you want to give up individual immunity then you must mail me within the hour after the challenge has concluded. Otherwise, you won't be allowed to do so.
Final Tribal Council
------------------------
Section 8A - I will ask the last person voted out pre-juror to be a substitute jury member. This means they must submit a jury vote to me which will only count in the case of a tie to decide the winner. There will be a revote for a juror(s) voting in minority in a situation to a (4-4-1) jury vote. In this type of a tie (4-4-0) the third finalist will cast the deciding vote.
Section 8B - However, if the season is a final two and the vote is tied then the last prejuror will cast a vote. If there is a three-way tie in a final three then the last pre-juror will cast the deciding vote.
Secret Advantages
----------------------
Section 9A - They're always fair game :-)
