THINGS WILL BE A BIT DIFFERENT HERE THAN IN THE GAMES I USUALLY RUN. SINCE THIS IS AN
OPEN IDENTITY EXPERIENCE, THERE REALLY AREN'T ANY MAJOR RULES THE WAY WE NORMALLY
DO. BUT HERE ARE THINGS YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF . . . .





1) Your password is not to be shared with anyone. And your password needs to remain the same. DO NOT make any changes to anything at all
about your account. (including your avatar) I spend lots of time setting up each profile the exact same way. KEEP EVERYTHING AS IS, PLEASE.
Thank you in advance. And if you're online -- you need to be SHOWING that you're online. No logging in "anonymously" so that players can't see
that you're here.


2) These are PRIVATE BOARDS only for you All-Stars, Lurkers, and myself. Our game board link is NOT to be shared with anyone EVEN AFTER
the game has concluded and the winner is announced. If former players want to check it out afterwards ~ they need to get the link from ME.


3) You ARE ALLOWED to privately message ANY PLAYER at ANY TIME throughout the WHOLE GAME. Even if you aren't on the same tribe.....
.......you can always message each other freely at any time.


4) Obviously, since we all know who is playing who, you can communicate however you want. The things that are usually off limits are fine here.
Facebook, IMs, text, etc. are allowed if you want. BUT......if you are not CHATTING HERE......we all know how quick you can start to be viewed as
inactive. AND......you all know how much my round by round private Host Confessionals ROCK after the game has wrapped. If you spend too much
time doing your game chatting away from our board here........you will disappear from the game. I can only write about WHAT HAPPENS HERE. You
are robbing yourself if you game chat too much away from our board because after the game is over.....you won't have any clue how the whole game
went down and neither will I. IF I CAN'T SEE IT - I CAN'T WRITE ABOUT IT. And it's not just your Confessionals that I use for material. I SPEND
A GREAT DEAL OF TIME GOING THROUGH EACH PLAYER'S PRIVATE MESSAGES. * * * MAKE SURE YOU CLICK THOSE TWO BOXES BEFORE
YOU SEND EACH PM SO YOU CAN TRACK WHEN IT IS READ & YOU'LL HAVE A COPY IN YOUR SENT FOLDER. YOUR SENT FOLDER
IS WHAT I USE TO READ ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE BEEN UP TO. IF YOU DON'T CHECK THOSE TWO BOXES EVERY TIME, I'LL HAVE
NO RECORD OF YOUR INDIVIDUAL GAME. * * *



5) We all have different personalities. But as a general rule, let's try to keep the humor around here at, say, a PG-13 level. Using our game board
like it's a junior high bathroom wall is unnecessary. The site that our game is hosted on is run by admins who can completely shut our game down
with no warning whatsoever if they consider language and such becoming excessive. I have zero control over that. But heeding my recommendation
to keep things at a reasonable level is a good rule of thumb. Also, you CANNOT post any nude or semi-nude photos even if you think the online pics
you found are hilarious. Let's keep it clean.


6) Make sure you thoroughly read through the instructions in your VOTING BOOTH so that you know about CONFESSIONAL PENALTIES which is
an element that's specific to our ALL-STARS GAME. There are very specific details in there for you about how overlooking your Confessional will result
in receiving a separate penalty vote. READ THAT SECTION VERY THOROUGHLY. And we shouldn't reach a point where I have to make a judgment
call about what counts as a valid entry or not. If it's clear that you're just posting a sentence or two just so you won't get penalized........that does not count. And it doesn't count if you just copy of bunch of PMs in there. I would consider a valid entry anything that accurately tells me what you've been
up to in the game.....who you are talking to, who's talking to you, who's out to get you, who are you out to get, etc. etc. etc. We all know what a valid
entry is. I don't necessarily care about the specific length of it -- I just care about the content and the details. YOU ALL KNOW CONFESSIONALS
ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PART OF ANY GAME. THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY CONFESSIONALS THAT ARE EMPTY OR LACKING.
THIS IS AN ALL-STARS GAME!!!





Sooooooo.....with all that said........I trust that every player will follow these rules as it will make
this experience much better. You have my word that I will do everything possible to keep this
game running smoothly and fairly. I'm excited to see what each player brings to the table,
so let's get started!





* * * PLEASE COMMENT HERE SO I KNOW YOU'VE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE RULES
OF THIS ALL-STARS GAME. THANKS. * * *

Read. And although I would love to change my avatar, my password is pretty awesome.
