Welcome to Big Brother: Digital Distortion

Ran by: kdowns, Haschel Cedricson, Mallowgeno(M.S), and Sting 64

Boring Rules stuff:

{GENERAL RULES}

{01} This is a game. The main objective is to have fun; so no excessive flaming, spamming, or submission of anything else prohibited within the MS forums.
{02} This is a game. The secondary objective is to win.
{03} We are not infallible, so if either of us make a mistake, please point it out to us and we will correct it if needed.
{04} We have worked extensively to produce a game that is enjoyed by all involved. As such, we promise to offer each player respect but expect to be shown the same in return.
{05} Exercise common sense. If you are unsure as to whether an action conflicts with the rules, ask. Yes, this is a competition, but do not attempt to undermine challenges or game mechanics for your own gain. This violates both the spirit of the game and common respect mentioned above.
{06} We reserve all rights to implement new rules if needed.

{CHALLENGES}

{01} We appreciate the fact that prospective contestants will enter this game with a range of skills. With this in mind, understand that we as mods cannot cater to all players' needs and time constraints in challenges.

Head of Household:

{02} At the beginning of each round, players will compete to become the Head of Household {HoH}. The winner{s} of the Head of Household Challenge will be safe from the threat of eviction that week and cannot be eliminated from Big Brother: Digital Distortion.
{03} With security, however, comes responsibility. During the HoH's reign, the Head of Household must fulfill the following duties when instructed:

• Name two players as nominees for eviction.

• Name a replacement nominee in the event the Power of Veto saves one player from the chopping block. See below for more information about the Power of Veto.

• Cast the deciding vote in the event of a tie.

{04} The outcomes of all Head of Household Challenges are final. That said, be sure to keep Rule 03 of General Rules in mind.

Power of Veto:

{05} Following the Nomination Ceremony each week, six players will compete to temporarily wield the Power of Veto: the Head of Household, the two nominees, and three players selected via random draw.
{06} The wielder of the Power of Veto may choose to veto one of HoH's initial nominations, including the wielder. The PoV may also choose not to use the Power of Veto.
{07} The wielder of the Power of Veto cannot become a replacement nominee, and is thus safe for the week.
{08} The outcomes of all Power of Veto Challenges are final. That said, be sure to keep Rule 03 of General Rules in mind.

Eviction Ceremony:

{01} Eviction Ceremonies will take place of Thursday Night. Neither the HoH nor the two nominees may cast votes.
{02} If a player fails to submit a vote within the given time frame, that player will incur an activity penalty. Should a player receive three penalties, that player will be ejected from the game. In the event that a player knows they will be unable to vote by deadline, that player may notify the moderators and cast a conditional vote to avoid penalization.
{03} You will be notified when it is time for you to place your vote.
{04} The results of Eviction Ceremonies will be revealed live.
{05} The outcomes of Eviction Ceremonies are final.
{06} In the event of a tie, the Head of Household will cast the deciding vote.

Twists:

{01} Twists will be implemented without warning or provocation throughout the game. The time and setting of each twist has already been determined, so as to neither give an unfair advantage or disadvantage to a player or group of players.

Timeline of the Week
{01} The Head of Household will take place on Mondays
{02} The Nomination Ceremony/Veto Challenge will be held on Tuesday
{03} Veto Ceremony will take place on Wednesday
{04} Eviction Ceremony will take place on Thursday

Veto Challenges will be Live while most of the Head of Household competitions will let you have the chance to complete in your own time during the weekend.
Though there will be some Head of Household competitions that will take place live, and you will be given a warning when that will be.

If you want to be possibly included in the game please fill this out.

Thank you!

We will be looking at Starting on May 20th, and we are looking for 12 players!

Without giving away crucial game information. There will be two separate games happening at the same time with some times the games have fun social challenges between the houses that won’t have an impact on the game.

Mucche, you don't have to worry about mechanics about the other house. All that matters is that we talk constantly about how much better and cooler the SA house is than the dweeby mafiascum house. They probably don't even have throw pillows smh

So the HoH nominates A and B, with veto-replacement C.

Then the HoH goes into the veto competition.

If they win the PoV, they CAN still veto one of their original selections, correct?

Just want to make sure that's possible and I'm interpreting the rules correctly.

Yes, anyone who holds veto can veto one of the nominees regardless of their own standing

Basically the flow of the game:

There is an HOH Comp to decide who is the HOH
The HOH has a day or 2 to decide which two house guests they want to put "on the block"
Those 2 Houseguests and the HOH along with (I think) 3 other people compete in the POV
The veto winner, regardless if they are on the block or not, can veto a nomination.
In the case of a vetoed nomination the HOH names a new choice for the block
The two houseguests on the block at that point have a chance to campaign for votes
The houseguests vote for eviction (with the HOH only voting in the case of a tie)

I believe they are shooting for the 27th to start. The game will primarily be in Discord, so you will get an invite to a server soon one way or the other.

Your winner of the first Head of Household Competition, Color Maps, is PhantomMuzzles!

STING 64

It is now time for nominations.







The Head of Household, PhantomMuzzles, has nominated Sighence and CubicalSucrose.


The Power of Veto will be played the following day.

STING 64
Oct 20, 2006

It is now time to select players for the Power of Veto competition. The winner of the Power of Veto can choose to cancel one of the nominations if they so choose. If they do so, the Head of Household must replace the vetoed player with another Houseguest. They cannot name anyone who was previously nominated that week nor the holder of the Power of Veto. Six players play in the Power of Veto: The Head of Household, the two nominees, and three other players chosen at random by them.



We will now select the players who will play in Power of Veto. Today's Power of Veto competition is Liar's Dice.

Participating are Phantom Muzzles, CubicalSucrose, and Sighence. The chosen players are Johnny Keats, SalTheBard, and Spokes.


Here are the rules:

quote:

Each Player begins the game with four dice. At the beginning of each round, everyone secretly rolls their dice (I will roll dice and tell each player their result in their confessional).

The starting player will now make a bet. They are betting how many dice of a number of their choice appear on the table. If they say "Three 5s", that means that, out of all the players' dice, they think AT LEAST three of the dice are 5s.

Proceeding clockwise, each player now has a choice. They can either RAISE or CALL.

If they RAISE, they must make a higher bet. They can either make a bet that is the same number of dice but a higher value (e.g. "Three 6s"), or a higher number of dice of any value (e.g. "Four 2s").

If they CALL, all the dice on the table are revealed. If the most recent bet is true, the player who called will lose a die. If the most recent bet is not true, the player who made the bet will lose a die.

The last player remaining will win the Power of Veto.



The game has ended. SalTheBard is the holder of Power of Veto. It will be their choice whether to Veto one of the Head of Household's choices for eviction, or to leave the nominations the same. We will update the thread on SalTheBard's decision when they make it.

The second HoH Challenge sees spokes claim victory by using his impressive math skills! He has 24 hours to select two nominees.

Spokes has made his nominees for Week 2.






Egalz18, EmSparkly, you have both been nominated for Eviction. However, you will have a chance to be saved, as the Power of Veto competition will be taking place in 35 minutes. Good luck to you.

We will now select the players who will play in Power of Veto. Today's Power of Veto competition is Swift or Poe

Participating are Spokes, EGalz18, and EmSparkly. The chosen players are Phantom Muzzles, SalTheBard, and MockingQuantum.


Here are the rules:

quote:

We will be playing a simple challenge of is it Taylor Swift or Edgar Allen Poe?

We will be shortly be posting either Lyrics from a Taylor Swift song or a selection from writings by Edgar Allen Poe, and you will have to guess if it's either Taylor Swift or Edgar Allen Poe.

If you are correct in answering this question, you will be awarded a point.

The First Player to reach 3 points will be the next holder of the Power of Veto!

You are not allowed to use any outside resources.

If you’re the first person to submit an answer and the answer is incorrect, you will be forced to skip the next question.

The game has ended. Spokes is the holder of Power of Veto. It will be their choice whether to Veto one of their original choices for eviction, or to leave the nominations the same. We will update the thread on Spoke's decision when they make it.
