Marathon Survivor Weekend (Sept 2 @ 6pm Eastern)

[kdowns]

Welcome to Marathon Survivor being hosted as part of Marathon Weekend on Labor Day weekend.

I am your host for this event, kdowns! This game will run no matter the amount of players that we do get to sign up for this event!
So please if you're interested even in the slightest please sign up and we will have a fun time together!
Challenges and general game will be accessible for everyone! If you want to play but have worries about accessibility feel free to message me either on MS or on discord, and my discord username is kdowns

{ GENERAL RULES }

{01} This is a game. The main objective is to have fun; so no excessive flaming, spamming, or otherwise being a jerk.

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

{03} We are not infallible, so if we make a moderating mistake, please point it out and we will correct it if needed.

{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. We also expect youse to respect all other players. If this rule or any MS rule is violated and brought to our attention or the Listmod's attention, we may be forced to take further action.

{05} 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 rules mentioned above. If intentional cheating occurs, you will be punished accordingly.

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

{08} The moderators may discipline any player that breaks the rules however we see fit, depending on the specific situation. We also reserve the right to implement new rules if needed.

{09} If you have any issues that cannot be resolved by the game mods, or if the game mods are breaking rules, please report that to xofelf.

{GAME MECHANICS}


{01} PM's are only to be used for communication within your tribe. All out-of-tribe contact is to be confined to challenge threads.

Immunity Challenges:

{02} Every round will possess an Immunity Challenge. Winners of the Immunity Challenge will be safe from elimination that round and cannot be voted out at the Tribal Council.

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

{04} 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 can't cater to all players' needs and time constraints in challenges.

{05} Unless otherwise stated, you may use outside resources for any challenge.

{06} If you're submitting an update, please include the whole submission; we will count that post as if it's the only post being made for that submission. If you're missing information previously provided we will assume that this is intentional.


Tribal Council:

{07} Tribal Council is where players are eliminated. Before the merge, only the losing tribe or tribes will visit TC, and will vote one player off. After the merge, all remaining players will go to TC, including immunity challenge winners.

{08} Tribal Councils will last approximately 5-10 minutes from the end of the challenge. If a player fails to submit a vote within the given time frame, they will receive a selfvote. In the event that a player knows he or she will be unable to vote by the deadline, that player may notify the moderators and cast a conditional vote to avoid penalization.

{09} The results of Tribal Councils will not be posted before the deadline.

{10} The modification of votes after they have been submitted is allowed. Players are able to change their votes as many times as they want until the Tribal Council is posted. To do so, make a new post in your voting thread so the moderators notice it. Do not edit your previous vote. Once deadline has been reached, no new votes will count regardless of if the mods are on time or late to post TC results.

{11} If a player has failed to vote three times, the mods may choose to eliminate him or her at their discretion.

{12} The outcomes of Tribal Councils are final.

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


Breaking Ties

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. Reward items may not be used in this revote, but any reward items that have already been played will remain in play.

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 a Final 4 TC, rocks will not be drawn, and the tied players will participate in a tiebreaker challenge. It will not be a fun tiebreaker challenge.

III. In the unlikely event that all players are ineligible to receive votes, we will end the TC with nobody going home. All items used will be exhausted and an emergency challenge will be played to determine immunity. A TC will follow this challenge.

Twists:

{14} 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.

{15} Mods will not answer questions about items that are not in your possession or that may or may not exist in the game, including idols...if they exist.

in games that I have played with KDowns, i have made it to the end every time. in games I have played here, I have been the first boot every time. So playing a kdowns game, but here....who knows what can happen. Let's do it.

[mallowgeno]

Ego

[Cheery Dog]

I cannot guarantee my availability to play for more than Day 1.

However given the likelihood I get voted out on day 1 /in

[Cheery Dog]

I should read the whole post here and just the announcement which for some reason made me think it was getting spread out over multiple days after just reading the marathon weekend thing.

day 1 elimination plan is 100% guaranteed when it is the only day of play.
