@Hosts~

How does this happen, and how quickly? Not voting or posting? Or is this something you will explain later?

And is 6PM Eastern going to be the phase ending ballpark for the whole game?

Your wellness levels will fluctuate in several ways as the game progresses. Just like when you're deciding between a salad or 4 delicious-looking muffins.

As for end of phases, I'm probably going to be ending them around 11p-midnight, depending on my time zone. This may be slightly inconvenient to some of you, and I apologize, but most of my time comes at the end of work, which happens to be close to 11p. I'll make that abundantly clear at the start of each phase.

What's your timezone?

Currenty it is CST. Tomorrow it will be EST

So how are the two tribes of nine determined? Anyone know? Scotty?

I do ask that you pick an item no one has selected- in sorry about the miscommunication on that. I promise there is a method to my madness!

And yes, I know how tribes are determined, thanks for asking

I would assume the idea is not to duplicate.

That is correct. I ask that you pick one unique item per person.

Scotty, am I doing this right?

Yes! Oh jeez I forgot to mention that I have a fabulous co-host that also didnt see his shadow this year

I’m flying over the waters of the awe-inspiring coastal Fiji, home to exotic reptiles, monkeys, undersea creatures of the deep, and- over the course of a few weeks-18 brave castaways, marooned on an island to fend for themselves. 

Why Fiji, dear viewer? Well, the producers have deemed it to be the most cost-efficient location we could find- and as an added bonus, the weather causes headaches for everyone involved on the production. Which usually means GREAT TV! 

We found 20 players to take part in one of the grandest social experiments of our time. Carefully luring each victim from their homes with promises of great power, we flew them out here, dumped them in the temperate waters of Fiji with nothing but a luxury item to fend for themselves like buckets of chum at SeaWorld. Two players already drowned at the offset (RIP Osten ), which is mildly hilarious and hopefully will boost ratings so we don’t have to keep advertising downtrending products such as the Nokia 2200 A.S.S. dumbphone, now with a 4.3 gigapixel camera and 2x1 inch display! Get yours now for the price of an Apple USB adapter!

For the remaining 18 mafia players, they will swim to the beach to form 2 tribes of 9; over the course of a month, they will compete in various challenges to test various qualities, and ultimately vote kill each other off the island in order to claim the title as the Sole Survivor! 

For now, the Alzheimers has taken its toll on my 89-year-old mind. Remind me again what each of you took as your luxury item? (One each please!)


Day 0 will end at ~11:59pm CST on Sunday March 5th.

Rules
1. Outwit. Outplay. Outlast.
2. No being outside-of-game-context mean to people! We're all here to have a fun time, and even though this game is based on a reality show where tensions can run high, personal attacks will not be tolerated.
a. If you are feeling frustrated, posting in thread is likely not a great idea. Oftentimes taking a few hours to do something else can really help your mindset in these situations.
b. If at any point you feel bullied, unwelcome, or uncomfortable, please bring it up to the Moderator on Duty and it will be dealt with.
3. Info-dumping IS ALLOWED. Information is a very important part of Survivor. How you choose to use it is up to you.
4. There will be no replacements in this game. If you aren't feeling your best or are having illusions of another life with commitments elsewhere, then figure something out. You could conceivably make it to the end of this game without doing anything, but you may be a liability to your tribe. If you ask to be replaced, I will not snuff out your torch- I will, however, drink some rum.
5. No talking to other players in regards to the game outside of the game thread, with the exception of your assigned BTSC partners, when designated.
6. This is the host color. Don't use it, please!
a. This is the Moderator on Duty (MoD) color. Don't use it unless you're a MoD. Your MoD for this game is juliets. Message her if you need a talk!
7. Dead players and Non-players MAY NOT POST. There will be a specified area for deadies (and non-players) to talk amongst themselves.
8. For off-topic (non-game related) discussions, use this color (labeled OT in the post-drafting screen). For sarcastic posts, feel free to use this color. For pedantic posts, this is the one to use.


Gameplay
1. Phases are in 24 hour cycles, and are split into Day and Night.
2. Day phases will consist of general camp life and challenges
-Most challenges will take place over the full day period, and some will take place at a set time towards the end of the phase, which will be made apparent at the start of the day.
3. Night phases, should the team not win immunity, will consist of Tribal Council, where one player will be voted out of the tribe at the end of the phase via privately-messaged votes. All ties are to be randomly decided.
4. You may not target the same player with a Day or Night power two times in a row. This does not include voting for someone at tribal council.
5. All players have a Hunger, Thirst and Energy level, which will be updated via PM at the start of every Day phase (If you do not receive your updated level for some reason, PM either Marmot or myself)
a. If your hunger or thirst level drops to 0 by the end of a night phase, you will be med-evac'd and officially removed from the game.
b. If your energy drops to 0 at any point, you will still be able to remain in the game, but your ability to perform in challenges may prove to be greatly hindered until you regain energy.
c. Players may never exceed their starting attribute levels. Any excess gained in the game will be wasted.
