{ GENERAL RULES }
{01} This is a game. The main objective is to have fun; so no excessive flaming, spamming, or otherwise being a jerk.
{02} This is a A game. The secondary objective is to win.
{03} We are not infallible, so if we make a moderating mistake, please point it out and we will correct it if needed.
{04} We have worked extensively to produce a game that is enjoyed by all involved. As such, we promise to offer each player respect but expect to be shown the same in return.
{05} Survivor Legendary is ANONYMOUS. All participants are strictly prohibited from so much as hinting to their own identities or implying another player's identityT. If you are talking with other people outside of this forum, you must not state or imply that you are playing in this game. If you are talking with other players on this forum, try not to say anything that would allow people to easily ID you. Communication outside the private message system is also forbidden until otherwise stated. Failure to follow this rule can result in a variety of consequences ranging from a terse warning to one's elimination from the game. We reserve the right to determine the severity of possible infractions.
{5A} Trainers (see Game Mechanics rule 13) and the players to which they are assigned do not have to maintain anonymity with each other, and Trainers' identities are revealed to their new player at the start of the game. However, it is against the rules to disclose any information about your trainer's identity to any other player.
{06} Exercise common sense. If you are unsure as to whether an action conflicts with the rules, ask. Yes, this is a competition, but do not attempt to undermine challenges or game mechanics for your own gain. This violates both the spirit of the game and common in front of respect mentioned above.
{07} Private communication with players outside of your tribe or eliminated players is strictly prohibited. Any player found in violation of this rule will be penalized.
{08} Any and all posting about this game outside the provided forums unless SPECIFICALLY STATED is illegal.
{09} The posting of Private Messages (whether via text (paraphrasing is fine) or via image) in a public forum is explicitly disallowed. You may, however, post them in your confessional. You are also prohibited from taking a screenshot of private messages and showing them to other players. Forwarding is not allowed.
{9a} Don't send PMs to more than one person at once, which you can do on Proboards, but don't.
{10} The moderators may disciplOine any player that breaks the rules however we see fit, depending on the specific situation. We also reserve the right to implement new rules if needed.
{GAME MECHANICS}
{01} PM's are only to be used for communication within your tribe. All out-of-tribe contact is to be confined to challenge threads/other public threads.
Immunity Challenges:
{02} Every round will possess an Immunity Challenge. Winners of the Immunity Challenge will be safe from elimination that round and cannot be voted out at the Tribal Council.
{03} The outcomes of all Challenges are final. That said, however, be sure to keep Rule 03 of General Rules in mind.
{04} We appreciate the fact that prospective contestants will enter this game with a range of skills. With this in mind, understand that we as mods can't cater to all players' needs and time constraints in challenges.
Tribal Council:
{05} Tribal Council is where players are eliminated. Before the merge, only the losing tribe or tribes will visit TC, and will vote one player off. After the merge, all remaining players will go to TC, including immunity challenge winners.
{06} Tribal Councils will last 24 hours from the end of the challenge. If a player fails to submit a vote within the given time frame, they will receive a selfvote. In the event that a player knows he or she will be unable to vote by deadline, that player may notify the moderators and cast a conditional vote to avoid penalization.
{07} The results of Tribal CouncilRs may be posted before deadline if and only if all persons involved have submitted a vote.
{08} The modification of votes after they have been submitted is allowed. Players are able to change their votes as many times as they want until the Tribal Council is posted. However, keep in mind that the Tribal Council may be posted early if all players have voted.
{09} If a player has failed to vote three times, the mods may choose to eliminate him or her at their discretion.
{10} The outcomes of Tribal Councils are final.
{11} Questions concerning ties in the Tribal Council may be found below:
Breaking Ties:
I. In the event of an initial tie, a revote shall take place. Contestants may only vote for one of the tied players, and all tied individuals may not vote. Reward items may not be used in this revote, but any reward items that have already been played will remain in play.
II. If a majority is not met in the revote, all tied players and immune players become instantly immune and the remaining players will draw rocks for elimination. In a Final 4 TC, rocks will not be drawn, and the tied players will participate in a tiebreaker challenge.
III. During a revote PMs will be disabled for that tribe.
Twists:
{12} Twists will be implemented without warning or provocation throughout the game. The time and setting of each twist has already been determined, so as to neither give an unfair advantage or disadvantage to a player or group of players. Information in the game may take precedence over these rules if needed.
{13} Players who are on the initial 'newbie tribe' will all be matched with a 'Trainer'. This player may not contact anyone else playing the game and is there primarily to answer questions and help their newbie navigate the game. The trainer is allowed to ask questions and answer them but are prohibited from giving specific, as opposed to general, advice on the player who should be voted off.
