Skype Big Brother!!! - fin

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Tue May 30, 2017 5:20 am

Post by Drench »

Hello!! After the absolute ROARING success of PrivateI's 4th Marathon game (which happened on Skype and was Survivor), I am extremely excited to announce a game of
BIG BROTHER
to be played on the
7th and 8th of July
.

This game is still being designed, but feel free to sign up! Who knows what'll happen in the Big Brother house: as always, expect the unexpected.

But first, check out these rules, which you should know.

Spoiler: rules!
A01. This is a game! Play to, in order: have fun, win.
A02. Don't be a dick! Site rules apply. I can modkill you for being a dick, and for other offenses as below.
A03. Do ask questions, and don't rely on not asking questions! if you're unsure or unclear on something, please ask. Please
don't
deliberately use ambiguity for a game advantage, or otherwise try to undermine the game.
A04. All genuine outcomes are final! If I have made a mistake, please point it out so I can fix it and apologize profusely. Otherwise, all challenges and outcomes are final.
A05. This game's skillset is broad! I have tried to design challenges and twists in a way that won't discriminate against any person. However, I unfortunately can't accommodate for all skills all the time.
A06. Do not make information unfalsifiable! It is very easy to share confirmed information in Skype by quoting, screenshotting or otherwise. Please do not do any of these things.
A07. If you break these rules, I will have to take action :( Action can range from in-game punishments to modkills. I will try to be fair and commensurate in punishment, but the best way to avoid it is to just not break rules.
A08. Please don't miss things you need to do! If you fail to make two HoH and/or PoV decisions, you will be evicted. If you fail to vote three times, or twice in a row, you will be evicted.
A09. Talk! You can talk to any and all players, except those who are not where you are. If you have not been evicted, that means those who have been evicted, whether on the Jury or not. If you have been evicted, that means anyone who is not either evicted or a Juror, depending on what you are.

B01. This is a game of Big Brother. If you do not know what Big Brother is, this part of the rules is for you.
B02. Each round starts with a HoH Competition. The winner is the new Head of Household.
B03. The Head of Household will have some time to publicly announce two players they are putting up for eviction.
B04. Following, there will be a PoV Competition. Only the Head of Household, the two nominees, and three randomly drawn players will compete. The winner will earn the right to use the Power of Veto.
B05. The holder of the Power of Veto will have some time to pubicly announce if they are using their Veto, and on whom if so. If the Veto holder uses their Veto, the Head of Household will have a short amount of time to name a replacement nominee.
B06. Following, all players except the two nominees and the Head of Household will have some time to vote on whom they wish to evict. The person with the most votes will be evicted. In the case of a tie, the Head of Household must publicly break it.
B07. At a certain point, the Jury will begin, who will decide the game at the end. This cycle continues until the Final Three, where there will be three more competitions to determine the two members of the Final Two. The Jury will then vote on a winner.
B08. Expect the unexpected.


You can express your interest and/or sign up below: I'll list you below! If you can't play both days, you can hydra with another player to make sure your slot always has someone around, but check in with me first please!

Tentatively, both nights will run from 7PM EST to 12AM EST. This will be confirmed with players closer to the date.

Lastly, if you don't have me on Skype, please add me at drench394. Even if you do, please check in with me, just so that I know I've got you in my contacts. I'm on the other side of the world to America so there may be a slight delay in me getting back to you.

Spoiler: old post
I say LSG because I would love to run Big Brother (the North American HGs-voting-each-other-out one, not the public-voting one). But if many many many people dislike that, then Survivor is also an option! But this is aimed to be a high-stakes no-holds-barred ikonic Big Brother.

Because the last Marathon game just happened, this won't be for at least a month, and likely longer (it will most likely be July), so as to avoid burnout. But it will hopefully take place on a Friday/Saturday or Saturday/Sunday night, from 7PM EST to 12AM EST both nights.

"But Drench, how will you find out the answers to all these things??" I made a Typeform because Google Forms are so last year.

If you have any ideas or suggestions or comments, you can leave them in that form! Alternatively, you can shoot me a PM or fly to my house or do whatever it is you people do, because I am ready to receive them.

And if you want to express your interest, feel free to comment in this thread! I will hopefully lock down a weekend/game type/etc within a week, week and a half at most. At that point, I'll get in contact with everyone who's expressed interest with details. If you're worried you just can't commit a whole weekend, you can also hydra with another player in one slot.

Okay cool thanks!! Watch this space.


*You can sign up to spectate if you're unsure whether you want to play; I'll add you to the Skype group when the time comes and you can watch along or jump in at the beginning if you're tempted or whatever takes your fancy!

I submitted both "None of these dates work" and "I won't definitely be free any of these days" but what I really meant was just "I don't know" because the first question was required even though it probably should not be.

Houseguests, I have the result. There were twenty votes.

Spoiler: rationale
We're definitely playing Friday night and Saturday night EST (that's U.S. time). I'm tentatively going to schedule this to run, therefore, on
Friday the 7th of July
and
Saturday the 8th of July
. There were four definite yes votes for those dates, and two definite noes, which was the least number of noes. I'm hoping to make sure as many people as possible can potentially make it, so that's why I'm setting the date as it is.

The median score for Survivor and Big Brother was 7 and 6 respectively; the mean was 6.45 and 5.85. Three people answered negatively to both. A slight preference to Survivor then, but only slight, so tentatively, this will be a game of
Big Brother
.


So, to sum: it's
Big Brother
from
Friday the 7th of July
to
Saturday the 8th of July
! Start time will most likely be
7PM EST
, ending at
12AM EST
both nights, but I'll check in closer to the date to confirm with those signed up.

There is no upper limit, but due to time constraints, be prepared for many evictions early if numbers get high. It will be lit!! Otherwise uhhhh get hype!!!

Please sign up below in this thread!! If you don't already have me on Skype, you can find me at drench394; please add me and get in touch after signing up so that I can be sure you're in my contacts. Everyone above is
not
signed up but I will be sending out a PM to them.
