The Basic Mechanics:
Over the course of a single week in Big Brother, there are basically 6 major events that occur.
1. The Head Of Household (“HoH”) Competition.
All house guests, minus the outgoing HoH, compete for HoH. The winner of this competition earns safety for the week, a luxurious bedroom, as well as the right to nominate two other house guests for eviction.
2. The Nomination Ceremony
The Head Of Household nominates two house guests for eviction.
3. Drawing Players For The Power Of Veto (“PoV”) Competition
Only 6 house guests are allowed to compete in the PoV competition – the HoH, the two nominees, and three other house guests selected by a random draw. The random draw doesn't take very long.
4. The Power Of Veto Competition
The 6 selected house guests compete for PoV. The winner of this competition earns the power to remove one – and just one – of the two nominees if he or she so chooses. The PoV winner has three options – remove nominee A, remove nominee B, or keep the nominations the same. The PoV winner can remove themselves if they happen to be nominated.
5. The Power Of Veto Ceremony
The PoV winner makes his or her decision. If a nominee is removed, then the current HoH must name a replacement nominee. The HoH cannot nominate the current PoV winner or re-nominate the house guest that was just saved by the PoV.
6. The Eviction
The remaining house guests vote between the two final nominees. House guests vote for who they want to see evicted – so it's a vote against, not a vote for. The post-PoV ceremony nominees are not allowed to vote. The HoH only votes in the event of a tie.
This cycle is repeated until there are only two house guests remaining. At which point a jury consisting of evicted house guests will decide the winner.
The Specifics:
Activity
Each Big Brother week will last approximately 4-5
Deadlines
All deadlines for competitions will be 24 hours. All deadlines for nominations, PoV decisions, PoV replacements and eviction votes will have a maximum of 24 hours. Nominations, PoV decisions, and PoV replacements will have a minimum of 12 hours. The exception is when a nominated house guest happens to win PoV. In this situation, that house guest WILL NOT be required to wait 12 hours to decide to save themselves. And the HoH's minimum 12-hour time frame for a PoV replacement will begin from the moment the PoV winner was announced, NOT from the moment the PoV decision was announced. Also, when someone wins HoH and PoV in the same week, the deadlines for PoV decision and replacement will be concurrent.
Alliance PM's
You are allowed to strategize with any of the non-evicted house guests via PM. Please refer to Rule #2 in the General Rules section before doing so.
Diary Room
At the start of the game, the mods will create Diary Room PM's with each individual house guest. The Diary Room is a safe space where you can freely speak your mind. No other house guest will have access to your Diary Room. The mods will also ask you specific game-related questions on a regular basis in your Diary Room. The Diary Room is also where you submit votes and competition answers. Some competitions may also be played out "live" in your Diary Room.
At the end of the game, I will post summaries that will contain quotes from Alliance PM's and Diary Room PM's. I will not post anything that you wish to remain private.
”Live” Competitions
There may be competitions where all players need to be online at the same time. The moderators will inform the house guests in advance if this is the case. There may also be competitions that are timed or will require interacting with the moderators or other players. The mods will make accommodations if this is the case.
The Jury Room
The mods will create a quick topic link for the eventual jury. Those evicted during the first-half-ish of the game are not part of the jury. They will be given a link to the Green Room. Those evicted during the second-half-ish of the game are a part of the jury. They will be given a link to the Jury Room. Here, the jury will be sequestered for the remainder of the game and will not have access to any game-related information that they didn't already have when they were evicted.
The Green Room
The mods will create a separate quick topic link for the Green Room. The Green Room is a place for the pre-jury evictees and non-players to converse about the game. The Green Room will contain game-related information that the remaining house guests and jury members aren't privy to. Non-players may PM the mods for the Green Room link if they wish.
Fairness Promise
The entire set-up (every competition, possible twist, etc) for this season was decided and scheduled before the sign-ups were even brought up again. We promise there is no favouritism, just bad luck.
The General Rules:
01 Follow the standard Pulse guidelines. No trolling, no personal attacks, no duplicate accounts, etc.
02 Both ry4n and Fancy must be included in ALL alliance PM's.
03 No editing or deleting posts. Multi-posting is allowed though.
04 No posting in code, hidden text or languages other than English.
05 No quoting or forwarding alliance, Diary Room or any other Big Brother-related PM's into other PM's or into the game thread
06 No cheating in competitions.
07 All competition submissions and votes must be sent privately to the mods in your Diary Room PM. Nominations and PoV decisions can be either submitted in your Diary Room or announced publicly in the game thread.
08 Competition winners, nominees, PoV decisions, PoV replacements and evictions are not official until confirmed by a moderator.
09 You may not discuss the competitions with other house guests before the results have been posted.
10 You may not tell other house guests how you have voted before the eviction has been revealed. But you may discuss how you intend on voting.
11 You are allowed to change your vote, but no later than 12 hours before the deadline.
12 No game discussion is allowed outside of the game thread, Diary Room / Alliance PM's or the quick topic links.
13 You may not discuss the game with any of the evicted house guests. Evicted house guests must be removed from any and all alliance PM's they happen to be in, or a new alliance PM must be created without them in it.
14 Evicted house guests are not allowed to post in the game thread, “like” posts, post in alliance PM's, or discuss the game with the remaining house guests or the jury members. Jury members are allowed to discuss the game with other jury members in the Jury Room quick topic, however.
15 Likewise, non-players are not allowed to post in the game thread, “like” posts, or discuss the game with the remaining house guests or the jury members.
16 Jury members are not allowed to view the thread after they are evicted.
17 Extreme inactivity and/or frequently missing deadlines may lead to an expulsion from the game in severe cases. Exceptions will be made for real life circumstances (illness, family emergencies, etc).
18 Expelled players will not be a part of the jury if they have made it that far into the game.
19 If the HoH or PoV winner misses the deadline for their nominations (this includes PoV replacement nominations) or PoV decision, their HoH / PoV privileges will be revoked. The second-place finisher from the respective competition will become the new HoH / PoV holder instead.
20 If you suspect anyone of cheating or violating the rules, please inform the mods.
Rule violations will be dealt with at ry4n and Fancy's discretion. Consequences of rule violations range from being issued a warning to being disqualified from subsequent competition(s) to receiving a penalty nomination / penalty vote to (in severe cases) being expelled from the game and/or being banned from future games.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have, either here in the game thread or via the Diary Room. If you post a question to the mods in the game thread, we ask that you please bold your question so that the mods can more easily see it.
And with that, let the backstabbing, deceiving and manipulating begin!
