Hello, and welcome to the Second Season of Survivor.
Survivor: Forums Apart.
In this Season, you will be pitted against 1 other tribe and 11 other people, where only one shall remain, and be crowned Sole Survivor.
This year, I would like to note, the game has had several important modifications that affect gameplay:
As you know, hidden immunity idols are entering this game, just like on the real show! If you do not know what a hidden immunity idol is, follow this link: http://survivor.wikia.com/wiki/Hidden_Immunity_Idol
In my own words, a hidden immunity idol is a gimmick in the game that allows the owner to play it after the votes are cast, but before they are read (In this game, you must play it as they are cast), which negates all votes cast for the player whom it was dedicated to. For example, if I have an immunity idol, I can use it before the votes are revealed and all votes that were placed on me will be negated, therefore I do not get voted out, even if every single person voted for me, and I just voted for Domo. Domo would go home, because my vote on Domo is the only vote that remains valid. Game changer! You may play an idol for someone else however. If I think that Domo is going to be voted out, and I don't want that to happen, I can play my idol for Domo, and the votes against me will still count, but not against Domo.
You may play an idol at any tribal council except the final two tribals. You do not have to use it the tribal you find it at. You may give it to someone else, and you may tell other about it if you so wish. If you do not play the idol, all votes cast on you are valid, meaning you may be voted out with an idol in your pocket. If this happens, the idol dies and you cannot give it to someone else.
A new idol will be put into the game for you to find every 2 or so game days. You know you have found one when you see
aka 3 of that exact same emoji in a row, anywhere in the entire forum except the Lorule Lounge and Mature Discussion. The first person to tell me where they found the idol earns it, and the emojis will immediately be removed. You will receive additional instructions after you have earned and given proof of you earning the idol. Also, later in the game there may be another way of getting an idol.
All Outside communication must be put on record. It must be in discord (or Quicktopic) for access after endgame. The game moderator and the comod must be included in all conversations.
Any questions may be asked freely and I will do my best to answer them.
There will be no replacements. If you cannot complete the game, you lose.
Tribes are assigned randomly
Here are a few resources for anyone who doesn't know about Survivor:

Without any further things to say, here are your randomly assigned tribes:
Chakotay Tribe:
@funnier6
@Spiritual Mask Salesman
@Krow
@PancakeSamurai
@Musicfan
@Tristan
Tuvok Tribe:
@Bok Chan Sama
@Doc
@Stormageden747
@Minish_Link
@Dizzi
@A Link In Time
The first challenge will happen sometime in the next couple IRL days. Until then, I suggest you get to know your tribe and begin a play of action.
I will make the tribe chats, but you may make any other chats with any other players that you wish. For example, if I was in a tribe with Satan and Mases, but I only wanted to talk with Mases, I would create a conversation on discord with Mases, and not include Satan. Remember, any conversation you make must include both me and domo.
If you have any questions, PM domo or me.

This year, I would like to note, the game has had several important modifications that affect gameplay:
- The timezone difference should no longer be an issue for those who aren't in timezones that are close to EST or PST
- The challenges have been better prepared
- There are some new gimmicks, such as Hidden immunity idols, that you can find or earn multiple ways. Immunity idols are not the only gimmicks
- We now use discord instead of the ZD conversations. If you do not have discord, you can download it onto your phone or computer, or make an account and use the web browser version, all completely free of charge.
- We tried to make a theme that allowed us to not randomly generate tribes, but instead put you with a group who shares some similarities, but unfortunately that didn't work this Season. However, we have still worked the answers you all put into the game.
- Besides this, you may check the rules listed below for any changes I may not have mentioned. Remember, @Domozilla777 is Dr. Joe, the co-mod, and is also here modding the game.
Each day will last around 24 hours.
- In the day phase, players may talk to other players either in the chat, or in secret conversations outside the chat. When the day phase ends, the challenge phase begins.
- Challenge Phases last for as long as the challenge or until the designated time.
- In the Challenge Phase, tribes may (or may not) work together to solve a puzzle, or complete some kind of online activity. The tribe or player that wins will receive immunity at Tribal Council. After the Challenge phase, there will be tribal council
- Tribal Council Phases last 24 hours.
- In the Tribal Council Phase, players openly discuss in the chat a set of questions, and then have the rest of the time to discuss what the plan is, ect. Players must have their vote sent by the end of the tribal phase in a conversation to the Host and only the host. If their vote is not sent, then they will not be able to participate in the next challenge. The person with the most votes at the end of each tribal council loses the game and can no longer participate in any conversations or the game chat. If there is a tie vote, then there is a 12 hour revote period. If there is still a tie, then either there will be a challenge between the 2 tied players, or a “rock drawing” between those whose names were not voted.
- After a few tribals, there will be a tribe swap where the tribes are split up
- Once approximately one third to half of the competitors are eliminated, the tribes will merge and the challenges become individual.
- The 3 (or 5) players eliminated before the final 3 (or 2) become jury members, meaning they vote for the winner of the final 2 (or 3), and must keep an eye on the game even though they are no longer in the game.
- When it’s down to the final 2 (or 3), there will be a period when the finalists can state their cases to the jury, who will then vote for the winner.
- After the final vote, the winners will be announced. All conversations and votes are revealed.
