Rules are always a good thing. I shall give them to you right now. Presenting the rules of the game!
1. Five votes will eliminate a player, but I will add one for every two divisions that we advance to until we get to eight votes.
2. One vote after every update. I will try to update around 12:00am EST. If I update early, you're okay to vote again.
3. Any player who has voted correctly eight or more times will be allowed to Seek Revenge ONE time on behalf of a player. You may bring back any of the last five players that have been eliminated. No player or voter may Seek Revenge more than once, and under no circumstance will you have more than three days to Seek Revenge. This feature will become null and void when we are down to five players.
4. You may vote for a player up to seven times, but you may not vote someone off by yourself. You also may not vote for a player four days in a row or four times in five days. If a player is brought back via Seek Revenge, then you may vote up to seven more times for that player, but the above rules will apply. (I will try to maintain this rule, only because I felt like I kept going past restrictions in the last few installments.)
5. The Sudden Death option works the opposite of Seek Revenge. You state that you want a player to face Sudden Death and everyone votes the next day on whether or not s/he is eliminated. Majority rules, and a 50-50 tie will always go in favor of the player. No player may face Sudden Death more than once. If a player is brought back via Seek Revenge, then he or she MUST be voted off the old-fashioned way. Please, no more than three Sudden Deaths at a time.
6. A Freeze Frame can be used up to two times on any player (and only two times, even if someone has been brought back via Seek Revenge). A player protected by Freeze Frame cannot have a vote cast on him or her and will start the second a voter requests that one is used. Freeze Frames will expire in three days (on the third update, so nobody grasps straws over what minute). They cannot be used if a player is either facing or is nominated for Sudden Death. Freeze Frames cannot stack, so one needs to expire first before another one can be used. Freeze Frames become null and void if there are not at least five players left to vote for. I ask that in order to give a player a Freeze Frame, that player has to have at least one vote to their name.
7. BRE\-/KDOWN can be used one time per player. When used, this will allow four votes to be subtracted from the player's total (and cannot put a player in the red). This may be used in conjunction and/or during a Freeze Frame (but not if it sends a player to zero votes or less in the process), but it will not affect Sudden Death voting. This feature may be used a second time if a player has been brought back via Seek Revenge.
8. You may nominate a player for a 10-Spot the same way you nominate a player for Sudden Death. If the majority of people agree, the nominated player will require ten votes to be eliminated. 10-Spots can be used with any other feature except for the fact that you cannot nominate a host for both a 10-Spot and Sudden Death on the same day. (You can still nominate a 10-Spotted player for Sudden Death later on in the game, if you so choose.) Please, no more than three 10-Spot nominations in a day. All 10-Spots will expire when we are down to the final two. Also, no more than six players can be protected at any time by the 10-Spot.
And those would be the rules. So let's get this game started!
