CHALLENGES:
- I will send a check-in mail 5-10 minutes before live challenges begin, but you aren’t required to check in unless it’s an elimination-based game or a challenge where I have to create a separate forum for everyone participating (it just helps me figure out who’s here and playing).
- Times will be determined based on when everyone says they can be available in their app, and will get more flexible once we get to the final 6 or so. I may try and alternate between 1-2 different set times so more people can make it if necessary.
- Most live challenges shouldn’t take more than 30-45 minutes maximum to do (and I aim for them all to be shorter than that if at all possible).

IDOLS:
- Idols will be hidden on the first blog of a random tengaged user and are transferable to another player, but not across tribal lines unless as part of a twist or otherwise specified. Just mail me if you want to give or use your idol on someone else. You claim idols by mailing me a link to the blog -- obviously if you’re not the first to find it I’ll tell you. You cannot transfer idols or advantages during a tie at tribal council.
- Immunity idols are played as usual unless otherwise specified. You can play them live at tribal before the votes are read or let me know you want to play it in PMs ahead of time (I’d strongly recommend letting me know beforehand just to be safe). You may play an idol live up until I have read the first vote at tribal.
- Pre-merge idols will not be re-hidden if played before the merge, and the merge idol will be re-hidden once.

VOTING:
- If you don’t vote by the deadline, you receive a self-vote. If someone involved in a tie receives a self-vote, then that person will automatically go home instead of having a re-vote. Two self-votes in a row or 3 total means a medevac.
- If someone quits or is medevaced during a voting period and is on the same tribe as the tribe attending tribal council, then tribal is cancelled. Otherwise, tribal will continue.
- In case of a deadlock (a tie and then another tie after a re-vote), we’ll have a rock draw as per CBS Survivor rules, with the tied players and anyone else with immunity being safe. In the case of a tie at final 4, we skip the re-vote and go to a fire making challenge.

OTHER:
- Confessionals are encouraged but not required! However you will be more likely to return and have episode titles reflect your game if you submit them. They will not be revealed until the end of the season.
