You can find the full rules to this game here.
Cuteness Raffle
This game will be a mixture of challenges and a custom challenge system (the “Cuteness Raffle”). A normal challenge round will work as normal: there will be a challenge with set rules and a set way for either a tribe or an individual to win, and that will give immunity to either a tribe or an individual.
The custom system is described in the full rules. It should be noted that the reason for doing this is to reduce the burden on the moderators in creating challenges. I think it’s still a fun system, but by signing up for this game, you agree to this. You may or may not like the system, but please understand that without it, the game is unlikely to get run.
That said, I am personally pretty excited about the pre-merge challenges we do have, which are very “team” oriented.
Know Your Rules Challenge and the Human Child
In the sign up form, each player may optionally choose to participate in the “Know Your Rules Challenge.” It is a quiz that asks questions on both the general and game specific rules.
If you decide to participate, before the game begins you will get access to a “start” form that will start the timer and give you access to another form via a link that has questions about the rules.
The winner is the person who (a) answers at least 80% of the questions correctly and (b) answers the most questions correctly. In the event of a tie, the player who answers the questions quickest wins. This player will be the
Human Child
character. If you don’t want to be the Human Child, don’t participate in this challenge!The winner will
not
initially be placed onto a tribe for the first Immunity Challenge. Instead, they may message any other player in the game. When the first immunity challenge is over, the winner of the KYR challenge will join the loser of the first immunity challenge for tribal council. However, they may not be voted off at this council.Thus, the winner of the KYR challenge has two significant advantages:
- They will have the ability to make connections early in the game for a brief period of time.
- They will not be available to be voted out in the first tribal council.
not
be able to converse with any player before the end of the first immunity challenge and they will
be eligible to be voted out. This player will be the Human Child.In the event no one enters this challenge, one tribe will start with an extra player.
You may ask the moderator questions about the rules via Discord (Zoraster#9525) or PM until you start your challenge.
