There were some inconsistencies in the formats/twists section that I fixed, and I also added shit about Card Picking, nominations, and the Pairs twist. Let me know if there's anything you want fixed or undone.

I don't understand the point of the card picking. Why can't we just have the anonymous HOH be 3 and the public one be 2? That makes it so much easier and the card picking could ~give away~. Just alternate it.

Although I really do feel like you should just stick with classic BB here and not do multiple nominations. For the private rounds, everyone can compete in veto, and for the public ones it is only 6. That keeps it fair and balanced and the card picking overcomplicates things.

I also went to random.org and assigned pairs, but if you don't want to do it randomly then don't use this list:

Dominic & Willie
Ronnie & Suzette
Jodi & Russell
Dick & Natalie
Jessie & Kalia
Daniele & Will
Jerry & Shelly
Lydia & Maggie

I personally agree with this. I just added in what I thought Blue wanted :unsure:.

No, we must pair them using our discretion to try and manipulate the results that we want.

Hell yeah, baby! It's how the real BB does it ^_^

But maybe it'd be good to make sure the pairs are well balanced so that we don't get 2 known challenge whores in one while some of the other pairs consist of weak competitors?

I actually think that this is a good idea. I know that in ORGs it's not common at all to make decisions based on ID, but it's not like Mark Burnett asks the contestants which tribe they wanna be on - he makes a conscious choice to have the best possible result.

Or just have them fill out a survey and ~match them to each other~ like in BB9 lol.

Blue, I set up a post about the rules for you to add. I basically copy-pasted the rules from last season and changed ID part to closed-ID.

Quote:
 
[align=center]Just like the other games you've all played in, we have some rules. After you read them, please post in this thread stating that you understand them.

THE RULES

THIS IS AN ANONYMOUS GAME
This game is strictly anonymous.  Do not reveal any significant details of your real life, your e-mail, AIM username, Yuku name, ORGY username, your real name or any information that gives away your identity and ruins the whole concept of this game - anonymity.  Do not publicly hint at your ID or anyone else's ID.  If you think you discover who someone else is, that's fine, but keep it to yourself and your confessional.  Do not let anyone know you're playing this game (even if they're not playing).

If I catch you doing breaking this rule, I reserve the right to expel you from the game and remove your board access.  This is the number one rule in this game. Do not break it.

HOST CALLS
There are sometimes discrepancies or conflicts in these types of games, and as many of you know, BW has had a few of them. (turkeygate, Leagate, confessianalgate in Rugrats etc...). We've done our best to make the challenge rules as understandable and precise as possible. If you see something you are unsure of in the rules, please ask before the challenge starts. If you think there was an error on a host's part, bring it to our attention immediately.  Complaining about it later will result in nothing.  We will always try and make the most fair decision by gathering all of the information and dealing with the problem as quickly and accurately as possible. I want this game to be FAIR and FUN.

Please respect the hosts. We really do try our best and we have the best interest of everyone in our minds. Admittedly, we have certain people we cheer for. It's inevitable. But we are in no way, shape, or form helping anyone win this thing. Again, FAIR and FUN.

If you have a problem bring it to us in a respectful manner. You might be angry, but don't take it out on us. And remember, our decisions are final.

NO SCREEN CAPS
Screen caps are not allowed in this game and will play no part in it.  You may not screen cap part of your confessional, your vote, part of a message, part of a challenge, or anything else.  All of your PMs are being read, and if you receive a screen cap you are obliged to let us know ASAP. 

VOTING
Only cast your votes in the "Votes" thread created in your confessional.

Like in the past, if you do not cast a vote during the eviction ceremony, you didn't leave a pre-vote, and you don't have a boot list, you will simply have a self-vote cast against you. Some people know this very well! The best thing to do is be there during Tribal Council and cast your vote live.

The next best thing to do is leave a pre-vote list.  Just be sure to specify who you want out most vs. who you want out least. This guarantees you will never self-vote as long as you update it anytime you may be swapped or when you merge. These can be made in your "Votes" thread. I STRONGLY recommend doing this every round.

If you are here for the round, though, and you have left a pre-vote list, you must re-vote again for it to count.  Pre-vote lists do not carry over from round to round.  If you want to re-use a pre-vote or pre-vote list, you must post it again in your voting thread. 

If you self vote, you will not be allowed to compete in the next Head of Household competition.

Also be sure to read your voting threads in your confessionals for more information on voting.

TIES
The Head of Household will break any and all ties. 

YOUR ACCOUNT
I have set your accounts up in a particular way, and I don't want to see them changed.  You may not change your avatar.  You may not change your password.  If you want a new password, that's fine, but we will change it for you.  You may not tell anyone your password.

You can have signatures, but don't make them too annoying.  Do not put large images in your signature.  Do not put large gifs in your signature.  Furthermore, once you have been eliminated from the game, you may not use your signature to attempt to communicate with other players. 

OTHER GAMES
Some of you may be in other ORGs at the same time.  You are certainly allowed to do so, but you may not discuss them here.  I have a large number of co-hosts who read confessionals, and for all you know they may be in other games too.  Any posts referring to ongoing ORGs will be deleted on sight.

BOTTOM LINE
Respect me. Respect my hosts. Respect the game. Also have fun! These games are supposed to be fun so make sure you have a great time!

I also reserve the right to amend or add rules at any time for any reason.

I love my staff so much :( I have been busy getting destroyed in Vertigo All Stars but thank you all so much for your help!!

Also I spoke to Andrew on AIM a few days ago, I like the VETO ideas he suggested ^_^ so we're sticking with that.

And as far as pair goes, we should defo put a challenge whore with a "weaker" whore to balance the pairs up!

And finallllllllllllllly, Foie confirmed!

What is the thing about veto that he suggested? Everyone plays in Anon rounds? Let me know if there's anything else you need help with.

Congrats on second in Vertigo btw.

Oh, perfect. Yeah I prefer the no multiple noms thing as well.

ETA: I edited the formats to reflect this. Blue, just look it over and make sure everything you want is in there.

If you're looking for another twist to replace the three noms thing, you could say something like the first three people to lose their secret partners get instant three round nomination passes. That would certainly not be overkill, but it might spice up the pairs thing a little more.

Are you guys going to add a rule whether the anon-HOH can talk about it being the HOH or not?

We need a strict rule for that otherwise the anon rounds would be pointless. Auto nomination? They can admit to things at F7 when it turns back to reg public round.

Messie won btw. Howard! :3

I can add a rule for that, but I don't think it's a good idea. Let them talk more, it will cause more drama!

I think it'd be hot if someone tried to take credit for being the HOH and whatnot :o I just fear that if people are going to openly admit things like this, then it will turn into basically regular BB lol.

I just asked because it's been discussed ^_^

idgi, what's the point of having anon HOHs then if there's no rule restricting them from talking about it? Unless I'm totes missing something here. But I think the paranoia could be hella hella cool shit. However I definitely think people will hint at being HoH without actually saying it. I think it's definitely going to be tough to regulate though. Auto-elim could cause a slaughter though with players accidentally repeating the offense. Maybe make it so they lose their privilege to compete in HoH and PoV since it should be a strict rule.

Btw, this secret partner twist defo needs to have a bit more spice. Being nominated together and having that veto-twist is a nice perk, but it's really an unlikely scenario to happen. I think you should give them something extra other than this... like a vertigoesque twist, or golden keys or something, because otherwise it won't amount to anything.

Okay Keesha! Their punishment would be missing out on HOH and POV for the next eligible round.

Cookie, we can definitely spice up the pairs twist. Myself and messie were the last pair standing and unsurprisingly made the F2 :P so how about just copying that twist? Any pairs to make the F7 intact will be immune at F6. In the event three pairs make the F7, the odd person out is auto booted. Good?

Cyndi edit these in! <3

Will do. I like the change to the paris twist (I still think you should add something in about the first couple of people to lose partners getting immunity for a bit).

Ngl, don't really like forcing people to stay anon, but I'll put that in too <3.

I just really want the anon thing to work and to make a huge splash this season so that's where forcing them comes into play :( Also thank you, Keesha, Howard, Lady, Andrew and Cookie so much for all your help!

Here are the official pairs!! They just need welcome threads.

Shelly & Dick (most hated man and woman ever in BB history)

Lydia & Willie (#meltdowns)

Jodi & Dominic (both of them HATED each other in Sonic Generations, I want #drama so hopefully they bring it)

Kalia & Jerry (didn't know where to put them but they were in ILM)

Daniele & Ronnie (he played Ronnie in ON THE LINE, she won as Britney I think.... curious how they clique if nothing else)

Maggie & Russell (maybe she will inspire him to not be ~boring~ I need and want a crazy Burton!!)

Suzette & Jessie (Mr Spectacular dealing with a fattie, should be fun)

Natalie & Will (my male winner and my female winner pick, so why not make them the ~winner~ pick duo on top of that?)

I love the copied twist from Vertigo, actually. Wonder how will messie react to that... :lol:

Just the question of how do you want to pair them up? Randomly? I still think the most fun would be to pair them based on a survey of some sorts bb9 style though :3

I think it should be stricter than just the next eligible round if you really want people to not talk about it, but maybe this is just strict enough to get people to risk talking about it anyway to satisfy Cyndi too? That way ~everybody~ is happy or w/e.
