Hey guys! I've always had some interest in running a game here and I'm on a Survivor kick at the moment so I figured I'd see who would be interested in playing Pulse Survivor. If I recall, the game turned out well last year. How It Works:Just like the CBS series, the game will last for 39 days and will play out in 3-day cycles. The first day will consist of an immunity challenge. The second day will consist of the reveal of the immunity challenge winner(s) and voting for Tribal Council will begin. The third day will consist of that cycle's Tribal Council where one or more players will be voted out of the game. At the beginning of the game, players will be divided into tribes that will be determined prior to the start of the game. During this phase of the game, immunity will be won by a tribe and the losing tribe will go to Tribal Council and vote someone out of the game. The tribes will merge at some point during the game and it will then became an individual game. The jury will begin to form at the merge. The members of the jury will be tasked with voting for the winner of the game among the season's finalists. There is no set start date for this game, but hopefully it will be sometime within the next month or so. I need time to set up challenges and plan out twists for the duration of the season. My hope is to create challenges that are not too demanding or time consuming (outside of endurance challenges). RulesEach tribe will have their own private message where the members of the tribe are to communicate among each other. You can create PMs for your alliances as well. You are not permitted to talk to members of the opposing tribe or post in the main thread. The main thread should be limited to reactions to the challenges and tribal council votes. All game talk and strategy must stick to the PMs and I must be joined in all chains. In addition, all players will have a PM with me for confessionals, challenge submissions and Tribal Council votes. Immunity challenges will have a strict 24-hour deadline. If you do not submit in time, you will be disqualified from the challenge. This would negatively affect your tribe's score in the team challenges or completely eliminate you from the running for immunity once the merge kicks in. Some challenges will feature rewards and advantages. There will be Hidden Immunity Idols. Hidden Immunity Idols must be played before the votes are read. You will need to express your desire to play a Hidden Immunity Idol with your vote for Tribal Council. If a Hidden Immunity Idol is played, all votes for that person do not count and the person with the next highest amount of votes will be eliminated. Voting for each cycle's Tribal Council will have a strict deadline. If you do not meet the 24-hour deadline for voting, your vote will be cast against you. If there is a tie, an undetermined method of breaking the tie will take place. Like the show, it will likely be either a challenge between the tied contestants or the drawing of rocks. The player that loses the challenge or draws the purple rock will be eliminated from the game. Once you have been voted out of the game, you are not permitted to post in the main thread or in any PM chains. Jurors will be able to correspond with each other at Ponderosa. Everyone will be able to share their thoughts on the season once it has been completed. The hope is to have the Final Tribal Council and the winner reveal play out live. Each finalist will be permitted to make an opening statement. Then, each juror will be able to ask the finalists a question and/or make a statement. After each juror gets a stab at the finalists, the finalists will then each make a closing statement. The jurors will then vote for the Sole Survivor and the result will be revealed. All jurors must vote in the Final Tribal Council. Adjustments might be made if all participants cannot make it to the finale. Rules will be added if I have missed anything. The location and theme for the season will be revealed after casting for the game has been completed. The hope is to have either 16 or 18 contestants. Who is interested in playing? Castaways:1.

Max and Surf are starting Pulse Big Brother 3 shortly, which I think you know. You aren't planning on doing this at the same time as that, are you?

/in Max and Surf are starting Pulse Big Brother 3 shortly, which I think you know. You aren't planning on doing this at the same time as that, are you? I don't want the games to overlap much, if at all, but I would like to have the game start this summer at some point. The Big Brother games never seem to have a definite end-date though and my plan is to have this be finished in exactly 39 days like the show. My focus right now is on developing the season and casting the players. The start date is rather flexible. My goal is to go back to the routes of Survivor of have a cohesive theme for the season based on a unique location.

If there are too many overlapping players I will probably hold out until Big Brother has ended or at least wait until only a few players remain. I have a lot of planning to do for this season. I am currently only gauging interest.

I'm a little tipsy so forgive me if these are already answered:
Is this happening before or after Big Brother? B/c I haven't played this and I kinda want to.
EDIT: it was answered. I'm /in. If this overlaps with Big Brother then still count me in-- I'll just bow out of that.

I meant to respond to this so much earlier, my apologies! It will really depend on when the game starts, for me. Right now I have down time but I think I will be busy again come July. So keep me in mind as a maybe, I guess.
