NEW "Tusk" SURVIVOR - INTRODUCTION

[rezamatic]

OKAY! SodaScouts and I are teaming up to bring you "Tusk" Survivor the Sequel. This post is not the official start to it, however. It is a rundown of the rules and also something we need to decide...

I wanted to go back and start the game off where we left off after 'Brown Eyes' was voted off. Nancy, however, wanted to start fresh. It could go either way, so it's up to you guys to decide since we haven't been able to get together to talk about it today.

So we'll let this go for a day and whatever people decide on will determine where the game begins. So vote to either start from the beginning or continue.

Now, here are the rules for the game once it begins. Our aim is organization and easy-to-follow...ness.

==============

THE RULES:
- Rezamatic and Sodascouts are the hosts for this attempt. We will always post in the same manner (font/size/color) and our goal is to make it easy for you guys to follow what’s going on. So if you’re confused, look for our posts. We will announce a) when the voting period has begun and ended b) who has immunity and c) results.

VOTING:
- Voting periods begin AFTER immunity is assigned and ends at 9:00 EST that night. Either rezamatic or sodascouts will post an official beginning and ending announcement. If your votes are before or after those posts, then they do not count. See below for how immunity works.

- When you vote, type 1) The round number and 2) the name of the song in your subject line and ONLY that. We will tally the votes by the subject line, so if it ain’t in the subject it doesn’t count! Otherwise, feel free to converse however you like. But please try to keep the constant arguing and back-and-forth to a minimum just so it's easier for people to keep track of votes!

- Votes can NOT be changed once they’re posted. We count your first vote and that is all.

- If there is a tiebreaker, then ALL votes from ALL previous rounds are tallied and whoever has the most prior votes is eliminated. That’s the way it’s done on the real show, that’s the way it’s done here. If there is a complete tie with prior votes (Murphy’s Law), then we’ll have a sudden-death immunity question ready which will allow someone to make the call themselves between those two (or more) songs.

IMMUNITY:
- After we tally the scores, we will announce the results and post an immunity question/puzzle/etc. and await a response post containing both the following: 1) the correct answer and 2) their choice for immunity. When we get that post, it will then be VERIFIED by us in bright, bold letters confirming who has immunity this round. So again, if we haven’t posted, nothing is official! Once we confirm immunity, the voting period begins.



Remember, this is Survivor. Alliances will form, people may play dirty. If you want your song to stick around, then FIGHT for it! And GOOD GOD please remember this is a game and it's all for fun!

[DeadliestPoison]

Those rules sound good to me. :) I vote to continue, also.

[SaraRhiannon]

Sounds good. I'm voting to continue as well. :nod:

Everything sounds good. Do these rules imply that there will not be a set time that the voting will end each day?

"Despite of the heartaches and troubles in love, I'd do it all over again...."!

[Vianna]

Start over. The other thread got so confusing..

[HomerMcvie]

I vote to finish the existing game.

[GateandGarden]

I guess we should go ahead and start over. :shrug:

Hillary

[shackin'up]

This is taking at least 3 weeks......when we start over.


Hahahaha! a lot of those START over-votes are not in the subjectline.

THEY DON'T COUNT S*CKERS!!! :] :] :blob2: :]

;) :p :p :laugh:

[Claudia]

The other thread is such a mess... I can't even find out which songs were already voted off and in which round we are. Maybe if we start over things can go on a little better.

[tynan88]

I really think you all should putting your votes in the subject field now...get used to it :nod:

Tynan

[Kelly]

Well I voted to start over. I was following the last game but did not vote because I was always confused as to what round it was and what was already voted off. Hopefully the new rules will make it easier to play. Maybe Sara will stay around much longer this time. :> )

[shackin'up]

Maybe Sara will stay around much longer this time. :> )

only if the holy lindseysongs are not on the butchersblock. Otherwise: KILL!!!!


:lol:

[jwd]

I think if we decide to continue where the other one left off, it'll only lead to another argument, and that is where to start over from.

[Bryan]

I cant BELIEEEVE this is starting over.I already dropped out of the last one,so I definitely 'aint playin this one.
Why don't we just crown 'Sara' the winner already,after all,isn't the fact it got voted out so soon the REAL reason things got sour in the old game and why most seem to want a new one.I think so.

If that's the reason you want to start over I'm suggesting to slayer Sara In two rounds again....Who's in?

[dissention]

Let's continue. I think it's a waste of time to start over. :sorry:

[Serrart]

There are new hosts and new rules, I think it's right to start over.

Good work Rezamatic and Nancy! :thumbsup:

It's not MY reason for starting over,I just suspect it's most everyone else's.I'm with ya on slaying Sara in two rounds again.That's the only way i'm in the game..if Sara goes. :nod:

[shackin'up]

Cool. Spread the word. ;)

[shackin'up]

- Votes can NOT be changed once they’re posted. We count your first vote and that is all.


How are you going to do that? Does that mean editing your post (whatever you edit) makes it disqualified? The fun thing in the game is that you can try to make a stand for a song but change your mind during the day. The most posts are in the evening, that's night for us europeans.When I wake up, I can see what was the often unexpected endcount. But because a lot of the americans post late, we're only possible trendsetters....unless I can try to stand for a song and change my mind at night. It made my day sometimes in the previous rounds. i think it would be a loss if i could not edit my post during the day.......

[Mari]

I vote to continue the game:)

and about Sara... I heard the word :D

[amber]

Dude, the people who wanted Sara to stay were not the same people who put up the fuss. I think you're dead wrong... :wavey: The fuss and confusion came mainly from immunity changing, and when BC was voted out, then there was a miscount so TENF was found to be the one to be voted, then all heck broke loose... :D

Does anyone know how long rez and soda are going to wait before they tally the votes and get on with it?

We'll begin later tonight, around 9:00pm EST (since that's when we'll be usually posting results/immunity anyway)

As for vote changing, it's done that way for multiple reasons. 1) The real show is like that, 2) to make it easier and less confusing to tally and 3) it's not fair to cast a vote, then turn around and just change it later on. I consider that cheating, personally, because practically every early vote is considered meaningless if people will just flop later on. You don't see people go and re-write someone's name at Tribal Council after Jeff Probst has read three votes. If you want to play strategically, vote as late as you can to see how the majority's are falling. To our European folks out there, we apologize, but that's the just way we we've decided to do it. It's easier for us, and we're doing the most work :shrug: :sorry:

Looks like we'll be starting over, just after glancing over the posts, unless my eyes deceived me. We'll tally em up soon and give the official call. And to note - no song will have immunity in round 1 to start! Immunity begins in round 2.

[shackin'up]

Sara is my fave song so I won't be spreading that word I'm afraid... :sorry:

it's one of my alltime faves, too. I was just making some atmosphere for the upcoming fight. If SMAP or IKINW is going to be on the butchers' block I just say: bring that daughter to the slaughter.

;) :D

Oh no problem. It's fair enough. I tried to get clear to all players that this way you can't edit any post with a vote in it whatsoever. It will not count, if I interpret the rules correct. That warning could be included in the rules. I just try to protect this game for more fuzz and fight about (the clarity of) the rules.
