AN ENORMOUS 100,000 HOUR PROBATION!!

GAME MECHANICS

• There will be 16-20 players. The goal is to make it to the end of the game – standing alone above all other competitors.
  
• Players will be split into different tribes that will initially compete with each other. Tribes may shuffle or change before an eventual merge brings all remaining players together. You must work both with and against others if you wish to become... the Sole Survivor.
  
• You are playing for a grand prize! The winner will receive a $75 Amazon.com gift card, with the runner-up winning $25. Sharing of this prize or otherwise bribing another player is expressly forbidden and will have you ejected from this game.
  
• Tribal Councils (in which one player is eliminated from the game) will be held over a date and time appointed following the previous challenge. Participation is required in order to vote, after which time votes will be submitted privately to me (Fast Luck) and later posted without attribution. The player with the most votes will be eliminated from the game. During Tribal Council, you may only vote for your fellow tribemates, and you MUST vote.
  
• If someone does not submit a valid vote at Tribal Council, their vote will be cast against themselves! A player who quits this game will not be eliminated until they fail to vote in two consecutive Tribal Councils. Upon failing to vote in the second council, they will automatically be the player eliminated from the tribe, regardless of the total number of votes.
  
• Tribal challenges will have the tribes competing against each other, with the losing tribe forced to go to Tribal Council.
  
• In the individual phase of the game, all active players will go to Tribal Council. The winner of an individual immunity challenge will be rewarded with immunity from being voted out in the form of an immunity necklace. This necklace may be passed to another player, but only if you inform me prior to Tribal Council.
  
• The hidden immunity idol is in play this season. In order to claim a hidden idol, you must be the first to PM me its location. The idol will contain text telling you that it is an idol, so you will know it when you see it.
  
• Idols are played at Tribal Council. To play the idol, you must tell me that you are playing it and on whom you are playing it when you send me the PM containing your vote, before the votes are read. The idol may be played on either yourself or another player. All votes cast against the player on whom the idol is used will be invalidated. Each idol can only be used once. The idol only works if it is played. The idol will no longer work after the final five Tribal Council.
  
• Outside of Tribal Council, you may also transfer ownership of the Hidden Immunity Idol to anybody on your tribe. To do so, just PM me to let me know you are giving it up to someone.
  
  
  COMMUNICATION MECHANICS
  
• You may post in this thread unless instructed otherwise. However, as you would expect in Survivor, you may only privately communicate with members of your own tribe. You may communicate with your own tribe almost however you wish.
  
• However, you may NOT talk privately when you are in Tribal Council. During Tribal Council all communication must be in thread, and anyone not participating in Tribal Council should not post.
  
• You also may NOT share chat logs with other players. This means no copy pasting or screenshots. Survivors don't have recording devices. Paraphrase only.
  
• Also, we'd like to have as much information as possible about the game to share with viewers. Therefore, mods need to be given access to any communication between more than two castaways. A link to a doc, IRC room, etc. Contact me with access information. You don't need to do this if you are just communicating one on one with another player. However, if anything crucial happens in a private conversation with another single player, you are encouraged to share it via the confession booth.
  
• Once you have been eliminated, you may NOT talk with active players.
  
• A certain subset of eliminated players will form the jury and be called upon to decide the winner at the end of the game. Jurors may NOT talk to active players or players eliminated in the pre-jury phase.
  
• When voted out, you are allowed to make only one post as a goodbye message, with a maximum of 100 words. No tricky stuff to sneak in a longer message is allowed.
  
• Spectator posts are permissible by people not participating in the game, as long as it is not done in a way to assist or harm any active player.
  
• NO EDITING YOUR POSTS! Evidence of editing can result in punishment ranging from a challenge disqualification to a forced removal from the game depending on the severity and frequency. Ninja edits may be ignored but abuse will be punished.
  
  
  YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID
  
• Any attempts to circumvent these rules or other obviously hosed up behavior can be punished!
  

• There will be a special Viewer's Only page, where non-players can see some content unavailable in the thread or to the actual players of the game, ranging from player's confessionals and snippets of their out of thread interactions to their voting histories and some advance knowledge on upcoming twists and turns, along with some other perks. If you would like access to the Vista, please PM me a request. However...
  
• What goes on in the Vista, stays in the Vista. This is by far the most important rule of the viewer's vista. Nothing that is posted in there may be posted in the thread or leaked to players. Keep it in the Vista!!!
  
• You are not allowed to communicate with the players in the game. Unless they were voted out pre-jury, you flat out cannot communicate with any player of the game as long as it is going on. This is essential to keep things fair and to avoid providing information to players that could impact the game.
