This important info is being posted here publicly for further clarification
regarding the anonymous character stuff & a few "housekeeping" tips.




As stated in the RULES in your own private Confessional, identities are to remain secret until the game is wrapped & the winner
is announced. Be sure to NOT post anything about this game in your facebook statuses or twitter or whatever. Reason is ~ the
SURVIVOR fan community is massive........ but is a tighter group than most people realize.



So, keep any personal discussions on a VERY GENERIC LEVEL. Reason is, the minute you mention to a fellow player that you
can't login on a certain day because you "have to take your spouse, son, daughter, etc. to the airport or doc appointment or soccer
practice or dance recital or whatever"
.....next thing you know......you've just posted the EXACT SAME INFO on your facebook status.
A fellow player might see it and immediately figure out who you are in this game. That can't happen because the integrity of our
game would be destroyed
.



* * * If people start playing the game based on who they THINK are behind the characters......
........YOU WILL RUIN YOUR GAME EXPERIENCE. Please trust me on this. * * *



So, if you have to mention any reason that you can't be here on a certain date......JUST KEEP IT VERY GENERIC. (family event,
personal reasons, etc.
) Just don't get specific. Cool? I do monitor the info that is going around our game, so let's keep it all clean.


And if you have a Photobucket account, DO NOT post any public photos from your own account. Why? Because it can easily give
away your identity. If you have a photo you want to share on the board, you can upload it to www.tinypic.com or www.imgur.com
(keeps it anonymous that way)



Although myself or our Moderator James Bond will frequently change the location of pics you all post publicly. Reason being,
if it's just some random pic or .gif you find online, if the owner of that photo deletes it........ it will disappear from our board.
So me or Mr. Bond will often swoop in and add that pic to another source so that it won't ever disappear.


Also, I've noticed that with Zifboards (a newer version of Invisionfree), every single time someone logs out and back in or
drops by the board to see who's online...... it records every single visit as a new "Guest." When I was setting up the board
and testing all logins, it had me showing as so many different Guests that I lost count when I was logging out and logging
back in. I also do that frequently throughout the day reading the messages everyone's sending........ so with me logging in
and out and all of you, it shows each one as a new "Guest."




Also, I'm here to help. PLEASE ASK ME IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE FINDING
OR NAVIGATING THROUGH. Send me a PM. I will be online often.





And Confessionals . . . .



I can't reiterate how much I love them. Always my favorite part of any season.



WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW HOW AWESOME A PLAYER YOU WERE IN THIS GAME? WRITE AWESOME
CONFESSIONALS!!! GET YOUR STRATEGIC THOUGHTS DOWN IN THERE BECAUSE I CAN GUARANTEE
YOU'LL WISH YOU DID WHEN THE GAME WRAPS UP.




I will also be "Confessional-izing" about everything that's happening.



Looking forward to seeing who will rise to the top. Rock on, y'all!


:D

P.S. Another little tip.......whenever you have something written that you don't want to type out again......(a Confessional entry,
a PM, whatever).....highlight and copy (Ctrl + C) before submitting it.....because you never know when you could have a "hiccup" with your connection and you wish you could just paste (Ctrl + V) what you had instead of having to start from scratch. There's
my tip for the day. You're welcome.
