RULES
HOW THE GAME 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 commence the voting for Tribal Council. On the third day, Tribal Council will take place and someone will be voted out of the game.
TRIBE DYNAMIC
In the early half of the game, the castaways will be divided into tribes. These are effectively your teams for the duration of the game. If you win the immunity challenge, your entire tribe will be safe and advance in the game. If your tribe loses the challenge, your tribe will instead face Tribal Council and one of you will be voted out of the game.
During this stage of the game you are only permitted to speak to people on your tribe. Each tribe will have their own group PM that will function as their βcamp.β This is for you to talk as a tribe, but also where Tribal Councils will take place until the merge.
PERSONAL MESSAGES BETWEEN CASTAWAYS
You are permitted to talk privately with a member of your tribe via PM. I must be included on all PMs. You are not permitted to quote the conversations in these PMs anywhere else, but you are permitted to paraphrase as much as youβd like.
If someone is not on your tribe, you are not permitted to correspond with them via PM regarding the game.
CONFESSIONALS
Each castaway will have their own PM with me that will be their βConfessional Thread.β This is away for you to share your thoughts on the game as it is going on or to ask me any questions regarding the game. At some point during each cycle, I will send out questions for you to respond to regarding the events of that cycle. Your confessionals will be used to help compose βepisodesβ at the end of the season.
IMMUNITY CHALLENGES
All immunity challenges will be posted in the main thread. These challenges will decide which tribe faces Tribal Council or which castaway is granted individual immunity once the merge hits. All rules will be set prior to the start of the challenge. Typically, the deadline to submit will be 24 hours after the challenge is initially posted, but this will not always be the case. All eligible castaways are expected to participate in each challenge.
Some challenges will play out on a website outside of Pulse. This will require you to screencap your results. When taking a screencap, you must have your Pulse profile page visible. Any submissions without the Pulse profile visible will not be accepted.
You will submit your results for any challenge in your private confessional PM with me.
TRIBAL COUNCIL
Every three days, the losing tribe or the merged tribe as a whole will visit Tribal Council, where someone will be voted out of the game. Voting for Tribal Council will usually last for 24 hours following the posting of the Immunity Challenge results. This window may be shortened at various points in the game.
A list of questions will be provided for the castaways attending Tribal Council prior to their visit. Select answers will be chosen to be a part of that particular Tribal Council. Feel free to speak your mind, but know that there is a chance all your fellow tribe members will see your response.
All castaways must vote at every Tribal Council they are required to attend. No exceptions. Failure to vote will result in a vote cast against you. If there is a tie vote, a re-vote window will open where you will have the option to change your vote. The tied castaways will not vote in the re-vote, but may be prompted to answer a tiebreaker question. If the vote is still tied after the re-vote and more than four castaways are present at Tribal Council, the βpurple rockβ tiebreaker will come into to play.
At first, Tribal Councils will be posted in your tribeβs PM and remain private from the other tribes. Once the tribes merge into one, the Tribal Councils will be posted in the main thread.
AFTER BEING VOTED OUT
Once you are voted out of the game, you are no longer permitted to post in the main thread or speak to anyone regarding the game. The castaways that make up the jury will be sent a link to Ponderosa where they will be able to speak with their fellow jury members prior to the Final Tribal Council.
Following their elimination, each castaway will be required to make one final statement in the main thread consisting of their final thoughts on their game. You must do this within 12 hours of being voted out.
TWISTS
Throughout the game there may be twists to shake up the game. The rules of any twist will be explained at the reveal of the twist.
The Hidden Immunity Idol is a twist that has become commonplace in Survivor. If you find a Hidden Immunity Idol this will grant you safety if played correctly at Tribal Council. You will need to express your desire to play a Hidden Immunity Idol when you vote for that particular Tribal Council. If a Hidden Immunity Idol is played, all votes for that person do not count and the person with the next highest number of votes will be eliminated.
FINAL TRIBAL COUNCIL
On Day 39 (August 30, 2015), Final Tribal Council will take place. The finalists will face the jury and the winner will be determined. Each finalist will be given the opportunity to make an opening statement. Then, each juror will ask the finalists a question and the finalists will then respond. Following a closing statement by each finalist, the jury members will then vote for who they fell deserves to win the game and earn the title of Sole Survivor. The finalist with the most votes will be crowned the winner.
ADDITIONAL RULES
Please refrain from posting in the main thread if you are not an active participant in the game.
Please do not edit posts in the main thread or quote PMs in the main thread. Official game posts by the mod may be edited to correct errors.
βThree strikes and you're out ruleβ β All castaways are expected to compete in every challenge and Tribal Council vote they are eligible for. If you miss deadline three times, you will be pulled from the game for being inactive. There will be opportunities to have people sit out of challenges during the tribe phase of the game. If you know you will not be able to compete in a challenge on a particular offer to sit out of the challenge. This will not count as a strike toward you.
All times given in the game are for the Eastern Time Zone.
Rules may be added at any time or changed at my discretion.

Introduction We are in one of the most beautiful and underrated locations in the world, Belize. Touted as Mother Natureβs best kept secret, this Central American nation is home to picturesque beaches and mesmerizing rainforests.
Ruins of a once large Mayan civilization are scattered throughout and countless rare species, both dangerous and majestic, roam both land and sea. It is here that 18 people will begin the adventure of a lifetime.
They will have to learn to adapt to the elements and each other or they will be voted out of the tribe.
Who has what it takes to outwit, outplay and outlast everyone else to claim the million dollar prize and the title of Sole Survivor? 39 Days. 18 People. 1 Survivor.

TRIBE DIVISION Spidey Probst: Hello castaways! Welcome to Pulse Survivor: Belize! It is time to get this game started. Before we can do that, we need to divide you all into tribes. Two tribes is the standard in this game, but I think that three tribes would be a lot more fun. Here are your tribe designations:
KEKCHI TRIBE
MOPAN TRIBE
YUCATEC TRIBE
Spidey Probst: These will be your tribes for the foreseeable future. You are only allowed to discuss the game with the people on your tribe. Be on the look out for your Tribe PM. This will serve as your camp for this stage of the game. All Tribal Councils will take place in these PMs as well until the merge.
Spidey Probst: It is now time to get to the first big decision of the season. Prior to the first challenge, each tribe is going to have to give me two names. Based off your first impressions, you must name who your tribe feels will be their most valuable tribe member and in turn who your tribe feels will be their least valuable tribe member. You will not know the benefits or repercussions of this decision until the first challenge takes place, but it will definitely play a role. Feel free to make this decision in any manor you'd like and discuss it in your Tribe PM. Once your tribe has made a decision, one tribe member should bold the decision and label it "Final Decision" in your Tribe PM. I will reveal each tribe's choices at the first Immunity Challenge. Please make this decision by no later than 3:00 p.m. ET. The quicker this decision is made the earlier I can post the first challenge. Now head on out to your camp and may the odds be ever in your favor!

Confessional TimeHey castaways! It is time to make your first confessionals of the season. Please copy and paste the questions below and answer them in your Confessional PM: 1. What do you think of your tribe? 2. Who do you like? Who do you not like? 3. Who deserves to be named the "Most Valuable Tribe Member" and who deserves to be name the "Least Valuable Tribe Member" on your tribe? Do you agree with the choices your tribe ultimately made? 4. Who do you see yourself aligning with on your tribe? 5. Who do you want to see voted out of your tribe first? Answer each question to the best of your ability, with as much detail as you would like. Select confessionals will be selected to appear in episodes after the season concludes. Thanks!

Immunity ChallengeSpidey Probst: Welcome to your very first Immunity Challenge! In today's challenge, you will be playing a game called "Bubble Spinner" and here is how it works:Each tribe member will play the game Bubble Spinner. You each will have 24 hours from this post to achieve your highest score. No submissions will be accepted after this deadline. Once you feel like you have obtained your highest score, you must submit your score via screenshot to your Confessional PM. All screenshots must include your Pulse profile or they will be rejected. Please do not reveal your submitted score prior to the posting of the challenge results. The two tribes with the highest number of total points will be awarded Immunity and will be safe from Tribal Council. The losing tribe will go to Tribal Council and they will vote the first person out of this game. Spidey Probst: It is now time to reveal who each tribe selected as their Most Valuable Tribe Member and who they selected as their Least Valuable Tribe Member:KEKCHIMost Valuable: Amanda ( Zeebz) Least Valuable: Mike (@jb23241) MOPANMost Valuable: Pete ( surfy) Least Valuable: Kim (@touch) YUCATECMost Valuable: Phillip ( Mikey) Least Valuable: Jon ( Rose "Payola" Nylund) Spidey Probst: You are probably wondering what this all means and now it is time to find out. The person you voted Most Valuable Tribe Member will compete in the challenge. Their final score will be doubled before adding it into the tribe's total. This could be the difference between winning and losing immunity, so hopefully you chose wisely. As for Least Valuable Tribe Member, I have nothing for you. You will not compete in the challenge and you will immediately head back to camp.Tiebreaker: I do not anticipate a tie for this challenge, but if there happens to be one, the tribe that submits all their entries the quickest will be granted immunity as everyone will have the same 24-hour span to achieve their highest score for the competition. Spidey Probst: Does everyone understand the rules? Let's get this challenge started!
