Activity We had a HUGE problem with inactive contestants at the beginning of Season One, and it happened again last season. The following rules will help make sure that doesn't happen, and also set in place procedures if a large number of inactives are removed from the game. 1. Sign-Up Approval: In order to gain approval to sign up, you must do the following: [1. Create an account on Proboards.] [2. Add your name to the sign up list.] Only then will you be considered "signed up" for the game. Once sign ups have ended, we will have a week-long checking-in policy before the game actually starts. 2. Three-Strike Policy: If you go three rounds without posting on the board, whether or not they are in a row, unless you tell one of the hosts ahead of time, you will be removed from the game, and forfeit any jury or any other special duty. 3. Alternates: After the third round, any contestant facing three strikes will be removed from the game and replaced with an alternate player. This will not happen at any other point in the game. Hopefully these measures will keep the game active and fun the whole way through!

Tactics Team AKA Predictions Writers, the Tactics Team members are contestants from earlier seasons that will hang out and talk about how they feel the game is going in their own special thread. They will have access to the Confessionals, and may help out posting Tribal Council and challenges if the host isn't available, but they may not make official decisions without my say.

Challenges Challenges will be posted on the thread unless otherwise noted in Tree Mail. Challenges may involve offboard puzzles, onboard puzzles, AIM chatrooms, Flash Games, or a combination of any or all of these. Keep these in mind when thinking about your computer's limitations. No credit will be given if you are unable to compete in a challenge due to your computer's limitations.

Tie Breakers
In challenges, tie breakers, if there are any, will be done on a case-by-case basis, and the host may or may not reveal the tiebreaking procedure before the challenge begins.
In Tribal Council votes at the tribal stage, there is a revote between the people that are in the tie. If it's a tie after that, we'll have another revote, but all people in a tie are immune.
In Tribal Council votes at the individual stage, we will have one revote. If that doesn't solve the problem, we will go to purple rock and I will randomly decide someone.
Failure to vote during the tiebreaker will not result in a self-vote. Tiebreaker votes are typically shorter than the normal 24 hour voting period.
