TO HELP THIS BE A FUN AND WELL-STRUCTURED GAME, THERE ARE A FEW RULES SET IN PLACE THAT
I WANT EACH PLAYER TO BE AWARE OF.....





GAME RULES:


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. I spend a lot
of time setting up each profile the exact same way. Keep it as is. (If your time zone has changed and you want to adjust the settings to your new time zone, send me a PM if you
aren't familiar with adjusting that.)


2) Our game board link is not to be shared with anyone until the game has concluded and the winner is announced. And DO NOT post anything at all about this game on facebook
or anywhere else until we have a winner. *Don't "hint "about anything in your statuses on there. That's a big no-no.* I do have access to every player's profile and I will login periodically as each player to monitor all messages going around. (99% of the time, I'll only be on your account if YOU are already logged in. And I'll only be on there briefly.)


3) No one is allowed to reveal ANYTHING about their real-life identities until after the game has wrapped and we've finished the Cast Reveal. DO NOT reveal your name, your age, your sex, your marital status, etc. No personal family info or job info is to be shared. No location info is to be shared. This is an ANONYMOUS experience until the Cast Reveal. The ONLY real-life info you're allowed to share with other players is your time zone. NOT your state or city ~ ONLY your time zone. This helps in case fellow players want to coordinate times you may be online for any game discussions.


4) All interaction and activity is to be done when you are logged in here to our game board. DO NOT make plans to discuss this game by finding out any player's facebook or myspace page, or email, or twitter, or instant messenger, or cell phone/text message, etc. etc. etc. You can do that AFTER the winner is announced and the Cast Reveal is done.
I have access to everything going on here, and if you try to cheat by ignoring any of these rules..........I will find out. Trust me. So don't do it. Let's keep this game clean. I don't
want to have to be in a position to penalize any player or disqualify anyone.


5) As a host, I am NEVER at any point to become a part of your strategy. If you attempt to use the host as some type of "leverage" by putting words in my mouth or manipulating anything about my role here........you will not like the resulting action. My job is to run the challenges, run Tribal Council, and maintain the entire game. Let me do my job. I take it
very seriously and spend eons of time running our board. If you're having a problem with something, please contact me directly. Also, your activity and participation when conflicts arise is up to you. Do not ask me to inform your tribe if you have to miss a challenge. That is your job. Not mine.


6) 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 website 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 no control over that. But heeding my recommendation to keep things at a reasonable level is a good rule of thumb.


7) Yes, these games are fun. Yes, we are playing characters. Yes, there will be drama. But also remember that THESE ARE REAL PEOPLE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SCREEN. It is rare for me to intervene, but if personal attacks start crossing a line..........it's just not called for. We all draw our lines in different places. But let's all use our head so that the line between "game" and "life" is not ever crossed.


8) The character you have been assigned is your identity in this game. But you can play however you choose. Some may have played online games before, some may be new
to this. You can adopt a "personality"as you play the game, you can choose to play cutthroat, under the radar, be a leader, be a follower, etc. This game is what you make of it.
It's a social game, it's a psychological game, it's a strategy game. It's SURVIVOR! Think about the way things have been done on the show. Be prepared to think ahead and roll
with the punches.





YOUR CONFESSIONALS:


* * * Confessionals are easily MY FAVORITE PART OF EVERY GAME. Strive to be active and entertaining in your Confessional. Don't wait for me to ask questions in here - take initiative. Things are happening around you all the time. If you think nothing is happening............then you are likely not very "in tune" with the players around you. When you're ready to chat about the game in here, just start a new topic and call it "Round #1" or "First Impressions" or whatever you want. Keep up with posting here throughout the game. Nothing is more disappointing at the end than when your allies come here to read about what you were up to behind the scenes and you have nothing interesting to say. Having an interesting and engaging Confessional tends to reflect better gameplay. Bear in mind that players who don't utilize their Confessional usually don't get invited back for future seasons. * * *






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 HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE RULES OF THE GAME. THANKS. * * *
