== OVERALL SCORE ==Hello everyone! I said earlier I will announce some small changes in the games rules. If you refer to the OP (well, first post after OP) of the thread, you see that there is a new set of rules that weren't there in previous seasons. Let's take a look: 6. Weekly score will determine the bottom two of the week. Two (or three) contestants with the two lowest scores of the week will be in the bottom. 7. Among the bottom group, the contestant who has the lowest overall cumulative score (from the first round up to the most current round) will be eliminated from the competition. As written above, having the lowest score of the round doesn't result in you being automatically eliminated. To make things simpler, let's assume a single round takes a week to finish and thus, the total score someone receives in a single round = weekly score. This rule is made to prevent someone from being eliminated after they've done well in previous weeks against someone who's done less impressively, so elimination will be more fair and the final position will more likely reflect a contestant's performance in the competition. Keep in mind that the score you received during the casting round does not count towards this overall (cumulative) score. I hope that was explained in the easiest way to understand, and please do not hesitate to ask questions. **********
== ROLEPLAY BONUS ==This season, we will also be implementing a new element to this competition. Contestants are now allowed to receive a roleplay bonus. What exactly is a roleplay bonus? Every time you post something in the thread, you will get a bonus of +0.4 points added to your weekly score. In a single round, each contestant can collect a maximum of +2.0 points from "roleplaying" (so 5 posts will count as roleplaying, and any posts after those 5 will not be counted) Roleplaying period of each round starts after the elimination of the previous round and ends once I post the results of the current one. I hope this little bonus can help making this competition more fun and engaging. Common board rules still apply in RPing. So double posting only counts as one post. I hope that was a clear explanation. First round theme will be posted shortly but you can start roleplaying for the first round now. Judges: Contestants: Audience: Please tell me if anyone want to be tagged for this!

Question for the culture: Is the role play bonus a last ditch effort to artificially inflate the ratings for this season so that Samba doesn't get dropped by the network? Discuss.

I think it's more to try and resurrect the competition genre, seeing as Amazing Race basically peaked too early and Big Brother/Survivor/Pulseological/World War Top 40 are non existent currently

The way I specifically told only the judges to pick who they are from the picture since their was 6 characters, I know people get tipsy on New Years but ya'll can't read.
