{ THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE } {00} This game, like all games, relies heavily on the honor system in order to function. Due to the nature of forum-based games, we cannot monitor everything. However, the fact that you have been invited to play in the first place means that we trust you to be an individual that will not intentionally ruin things for everybody else. If you find yourself asking "Well, what's to stop me from [REVEALING MY IDENTITY/STRATEGIZING IN IRC WITH OTHER PLAYERS/SHARING INFORMATION WITH THE OTHER TRIBE]?", then the answer is "Technically nothing, but remember this rule." The first game had some major breaches of trust and integrity but Super Survivor Bros ran smoothly. Let's keep that train rolling. { GENERAL RULES } {01} This is a game. The main objective is to have fun; so no excessive flaming, spamming, or otherwise being a jerk. {02} This is a game. The secondary objective is to win. {03} We are not infallible, so if we make a moderating mistake, please point it out 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} Survivor Civilization is ANONYMOUS. All participants are strictly prohibited from so much as hinting to their own identities or implying another player's identity. If you are talking with other people outside of this forum, you must not state or imply that you are playing in this game. If you are talking with other players on this forum, you must not state whether or not you were a player in either Survivor Kanto or Super Survivor Bros. Communication outside the private message system is also forbidden until otherwise stated. Failure to follow this rule can result in a variety of consequences ranging from a terse warning to one's elimination from the game. We reserve the right to determine the severity of possible infractions. {06} We understand there is probably going to be a little bit of Identity Speculation. This is somewhat unavoidable; many of you have played at least one time before, and some of you have played twice. That being said, keep your identity guesses to your confessional, and do not make any in-game decisions based on who you suspect another player is in real life. Remember, there are a significant amount of new players as well, so your guesses may not be accurate in the first place! {07} 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. {08} Private communication with players outside of your tribe or eliminated players is strictly prohibited. Any player found in violation of this rule will be penalized. {09} Any and all posting about this game outside the provided forums unless SPECIFICALLY STATED is illegal. {10} The posting of Private Messages (whether via text (paraphrasing is fine) or via image) in a public forum is explicitly disallowed. You may, however, post them in your confessional. You are also prohibited from taking a screenshot of private messages and showing them to other players. Forwarding is allowed. {11} The moderators may discipline any player that breaks the rules however we see fit, depending on the specific situation. We also reserve the right to implement new rules if needed. {GAME MECHANICS} {01} PM's are only to be used for communication within your tribe. All out-of-tribe contact is to be confined to challenge threads and secret groups. Immunity Challenges: {02} Every round will possess an Immunity Challenge. Winners of the Immunity Challenge will be safe from elimination that round and cannot be voted out at the Tribal Council. {03} The outcomes of all Challenges are final. That said, however, be sure to keep Rule 03 of General Rules in mind. {04} 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 can't cater to all players' needs and time constraints in challenges. Tribal Council: {05} Tribal Council is where players are eliminated. Before the merge, only the losing tribe or tribes will visit TC, and will vote one player off. After the merge, all remaining players will go to TC, including immunity challenge winners. {06} Tribal Councils will last 48 hours from the end of the challenge. If a player fails to submit a vote within the given time frame, they will receive a selfvote. In the event that a player knows he or she will be unable to vote by deadline, that player may notify the moderators and cast a conditional vote to avoid penalization. {07} The results of Tribal Councils may be posted before deadline if and only if all persons involved have submitted a vote. {08} The modification of votes after they have been submitted is allowed. Players are able to change their votes as many times as they want until the Tribal Council is posted. However, keep in mind that the Tribal Council may be posted early if all players have voted. {09} If a player has failed to vote three times, the mods may choose to eliminate him or her at their discretion. {10} The outcomes of Tribal Councils are final. {11} Questions concerning ties in the Tribal Council may be found below: Breaking Ties I. In the event of an initial tie, a revote shall take place. Contestants may only vote for one of the tied players, and all tied individuals may not vote. Reward items may not be used in this revote. II. If a majority is not met in the revote, all tied players and immune players become instantly immune and the remaining players will draw rocks for elimination. In a Final 4 TC, rocks will not be drawn, and the tied players will participate in a tiebreaker challenge. It will not be a fun tiebreaker challenge. Twists: {13} 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. {14} The most exciting twist will be revealed to you all right now: The prize for winning Survivor Kanto and Super Survivor Bros was nothing more than a well-deserved sense of superiority for beating 29 other chumps. For this game not only will you get that (albeit scaled down to only 23 chumps), but there will also be a life-changing $25 Amazon gift certificate! There may be a second-place prize as well, but no promises. Colluding to share the prize or anything like that will result in immediate disqualification. Edited by Herodotus, Jan 1 2016, 10:10:34 PM.
