Are you sure we’re supposed to go now? There’s still more work to be done!


WARNING: THIS GAME IS A GAME. SERIOUSLY. ALSO, PAY ATTENTION TO THE NAME OF THE GAME.


ApplicationIf you wish to play, spectate, or coach in this game, please apply HERE. You have until January 7th at 7 pm Eastern to apply, and everyone will know the state of their application on the evening of January 8th. The game will start on January 9th, and last until roughly March 3rd, assuming no ties or other issues.

Those of you wishing to play will be asked to select one thing to play as for each of the following six groups:

Movie Stars
Star Wars Characters
D&D Classes
Food
Animals
Potpourri (Other)

Spectators are allowed to apply as any object or person they desire, within site rules.


{GENERAL RULES}


{01}
This is a game. The main objective is to have fun; so no excessive flaming, spamming, or submission of anything else prohibited within the MS forums.

{02}
This is a game. The secondary objective is to dominate.

{03}
We are not infallible, so if any of us make a mistake, please point it out to us privately so that we may make corrections as necessary.

{04}
We have worked extensively to produce a game that is enjoyed by all involved. As such, we promise to offer each player respect but expect to be shown the same in return.

{05}
Do not modify avatars. The moderating team has spent a great deal of time creating these images and would much rather concentrate on maintaining a smooth game as opposed to making unnecessary revisions.

{06}
Exercise common sense. If you are unsure as to whether an action conflicts with the rules, ask. Yes, this is a competition, but do not attempt to undermine challenges or game mechanics for your own gain. This violates both the spirit of the game and the common respect mentioned above.

{07}
Private communication with players outside of your tribe is strictly prohibited. Any player found in violation of this rule will be penalized.

{08}
Any and all posting about this game outside the provided forums is illegal unless SPECIFICALLY STATED. Violators will be penalized, as it threatens the integrity of an anonymous game.

{09}
We reserve all rights to implement new rules if needed.

{GAME MECHANICS}


{01}
Survivor: Barely Survivor is ANONYMOUS. All participants are strictly prohibited from so much as hinting at their own identities or implying another player's mafiascum identity. Communication outside the private message system is also forbidden unless otherwise stated. Failure to follow this rule can result in a variety of consequences ranging from a terse warning to one's elimination from the game. The moderating team reserves the right to determine the severity of possible infractions.

{02}
Twists will be implemented without warning or provocation throughout the game. The time and setting of each twist has already been determined, so as to neither give an unfair advantage or disadvantage to a player or group of players.

Reward Challenges:


{03}
Survivor: Barely Survivor is home to a myriad of hidden treasures and rewards, all of which the mods have graciously collected. Throughout the game, Reward Challenges have been designed so that players can reap the benefits of victory, gaining powers and items to prolong their stay in the game.

{04}
The outcomes of all Reward Challenges are final. That said, be sure to keep Rule 03 of General Rules in mind.

Immunity Challenges:


{05}
A Survivor game is nothing without its standard immunity challenges. While there are a limited number of Reward Challenges throughout the game, each round will possess an Immunity Challenge.

{06}
Winners of Immunity Challenges will be safe from elimination that round and cannot be voted out in Tribal Councils.

{07}
We appreciate the fact that prospective contestants will enter this game with a range of skills. With this in mind, understand that we as mods cannot cater to all players' needs and time constraints in challenges.

{08}
The outcomes of all Immunity Challenges are final. That said, be sure to keep Rule 03 of General Rules in mind.

Tribal Council:


{09}
Tribal Councils will generally last twenty-four hours from the moment we notify relevant parties. Should this not be the case, we will inform all participants publicly. If a player fails to submit a vote within the given time frame, they will incur a self-vote penalty. In the event that a player knows they will be unable to vote by the deadline, that player may notify the moderators and cast a conditional vote to avoid penalization

{10}
The outcomes of Tribal Councils are final.

{11}
Questions concerning ties in Tribal Council may be found below:

{I}
In the event of an initial tie, a revote shall take place. Contestants may only vote for one of the tied players, and all tied individuals may not vote.

{II}
If a majority is not met in the revote, all tied players and immune players become instantly immune and the remaining players will draw rocks for elimination. In the event that this tie occurs with 4 or fewer total votes, a 2-player game of hive will occur 24 hours immediately after TC, unless it can be scheduled for earlier - the loser is eliminated. The rules are here.

{III}
In the unlikely event that all players are ineligible to receive votes, every tribe member except any player with the individual immunity necklace will draw rocks.

Immunity Idols and Other Items:


{12}
Players may be able to find or obtain Hidden Immunity Idols throughout the game. These can be played during a Tribal Council, targeting any player at that Tribal Council, to negate any votes on that player.

{13}
Immunity idols, and any other playable items, can be played by a player by stating in their voting thread that they wish to play it, and specifying a target. This can be changed anytime up until the TC deadline.

{14}
Immunity Idols, as well as other advantages, may be played conditionally. If you wish to conditionally play an item, state that you may revert or otherwise change the decision when you play the item.

{15}
Unless specifically stated items used during Tribal Council do not work during ties.

{COVID-19}


{01}
Due to the current situation, we are adding some extra rules to this game to help players in need during this time.

{02}
If you need an extension at any point in the game please inform a Moderator and we will do our best to accommodate you, no questions asked. Please inform us at the earliest possible time, but please don't abuse this rule. If the request comes in less than 2 hours before results (whether challenge or TC) we may not be able to accommodate this. Likewise, if you know you're going to be away from the game for longer than 24 hours please inform us so we can plan ahead.

{03}
If for whatever reason you cannot do a challenge please inform us and we will attempt to find a suitable alternative or stand in if we can accommodate. We ask that you contact the mods directly so that we can plan accordingly.

{04}
Please understand that this virus will also cause some issues for the moderators too, we may need to make some changes to the game if something comes up (such as a website going down). Please be patient with us during this time.

The construction crew has a few things to take care of before we can allow anyone in, and they also has a winter break to take, so we wanted to get the application form out as soon as possible!

As a reminder, any application made until December 30th at 7pm Eastern Time may be accepted for players, but anyone wishing to watch the game (or even replace in!) can feel free to apply whenever.

We can't wait to see you here!

As noted above, I have reviewed this game as well, and have classified it as
Complex
. I will be the listmod for this game, and can take any questions or concerns about the moderation of the game. I'll also be in touch throughout the game as needed.

Hello everyone! We've had a few players ask about potential hydras. After some discussion, we've decided to allow hydras in the game, but with a few added rules for those seeking a partner:

1. All character choices must be famous pairs (ex. Peanut Butter & Jelly, Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie)
2. All game conversation will take place either in a Discord group with the mods or your provided confessional. Any game conversations happening over Discord must then be brought to your confessional in some way shape or form.
IF YOU WISH TO HYDRA, YOU MUST HAVE A DISCORD ACCOUNT. WE WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU PUT IN THE FORM.

3. All challenges must be attempted by only one of the two hydra heads, and no head can compete in two challenges in a row. There may be no discussion between the two heads about the current challenge.

We will be selecting hydras ourselves, in order to preserve anonymity. In a few minutes, the application form will be changed to ask if players would wish to enter our hydra lottery, with three answers:

1) No
2) Yes
3) I require it

If you select 2 or 3, you will be entered within our hydra lottery and your partner will be selected for you. The sole exception to this rule is you may choose to hydra with a player outside of MS on your own will, and an additional field will be added for that.

If you have already applied and would like to hydra, please send Silverclaw, Pine, or CaptainMeme a PM or message via Discord saying that you would like to hydra. If you applied as a spectator and wish to hydra instead, please fill out the form as a player.

EDIT: AS AN ADDENDUM,
PLEASE DO NOT MESSAGE OTHER SCUMMERS TO ASK TO HYDRA WITH THEM, AS THIS IS BREAKING ANONYMITY.

In order to align our schedules better and allow more time for signups, we have extended signups until January 7th at 7 pm Eastern, and the game will start on the 9th at 8 pm Eastern. The OP will be updated shortly.

If this is a cause for concern, please talk to the mod team immediately.

Hello everyone! Private Messages are going out now! If you don't get a Private Message about your status in-game soon, please contact one of the game moderators and we will be happy to help you.

We appreciate the time and effort you're all willing to put into the game!

EDIT: The Spectator Applications went out with the wrong date. This should say January
9th at 8pm.

Hi everyone! It seems like pro boards has gone and fallen in it's own hole.

Hopefully this will be resolved soon?

Congratulations, Radja and Awoo, on winning a hard-fought game! And thanks once again to Silverclaw, Pine, and CaptainMeme for running the game to completion--designing, balancing, and running an LSG is a demanding task, and we're always looking for ways to improve our processes! If you're a player, spectator, or moderator, we would love to know what went well with the game, from your perspective, and how we could improve it!

To that end, we'd love for you to take a few moments to fill out our Large Social Games Feedback Form. The Listmods will each be able to read this, and with your permission, your anonymized feedback will go to the game's modteam to give them a better sense of what you feel they did well and ways in which they can improve.

Thanks for your time and your participation!

Most games aren't quite like this one. This one was a very special case, so I'd encourage anybody who went out early in this one to give a game another go. But especially a game that isn't Complex. Typically you'll have more time to get a solid footing.
