ROCKSvivor 2: Revenge of the Rocks (Game over!)

ROCKSvivor 2: Revenge of the Rocks


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 win, or at least to submit to our ROCKS overlords.
03) My modding is not infallible, so if I make a mistake, please point it out and I will try and correct it before anyone else notices, before acting like it never happened.
04) Private communication with any players in the game by any means is allowed and encouraged.
05) Exercise common sense. If you are unsure as to whether an action conflicts with the rules, ask.

Game Mechanics (aka the important stuff):

06) Each round will feature an immunity “challenge” in which all players draw rocks, and the player who draws the white rock will be safe for the round.
07) Following the immunity reveal will be a Tribal Council. Every round, all players that receive at least one vote will be safe; the remaining (non-immune) players will draw rocks, and one will be randomly eliminated. Votes will be submitted through the game Discord server (https://discord.gg/fchF82xv).
08) Should all (non-immune) players receive votes, then the players with one vote against themselves will all draw rocks, and one will be randomly eliminated.
09) NEW: If only one player receives the fewest votes, instead all players other than that player (and the player that wins immunity) will draw rocks. Y’all don’t get to avoid it this time, sorry.
10) You may not vote for the same player in two consecutive rounds. You may not vote for yourself.
11) 24-48 hours will be given for each period of voting, based on mod scheduling. If you miss a deadline, you will vote randomly (among the players you can vote for) and receive a strike. Should you receive three strikes, you’ll be removed from the game.
12) The Final Four round will not have an immunity challenge; the restriction in rule (10) against voting for the same player in two consecutive rounds will not be in effect.
13) Once only three players remain, the players that placed from 4th to 9th place will have 48 hours to question the final three, after which they will privately cast votes for the winner. The player with the most votes will be the winner. Should this vote tie, the winner of the game will be determined by one final rock draw among the tied players.
14) A living player may not communicate with a dead player about the game.
15) Any twists will be predetermined before the start of the game so as not to unfairly advantage or disadvantage any player or group of players.

/in in the thread to sign up! I’m hoping to begin the game about a week from now after Labor Day, and to end the game no later than the end of the month. Deadlines will generally be around 8pm EDT.

Unfortunately, I am not able to guarantee that rock draws will be streamed live in this game like they were in the previous game. I will, however, attempt to do so when possible.

I will assess more around the time gamestart if I wanna play again, but put me down for spectating regardless.

Anybody curious about the previous game, you can find it here: viewtopic.php?t=84729 It was a ton of fun, the more the merrier.

/in to DRAW rocks as the rock Gods intended

I'm pre-gaming, last time I drew excellent rocks and my time in the game was tragically cut short and as a result D3f had to cancel the rest of the game and there was no winner to Rockvivor. None at all. So...you have to give me votes so I can draw rocks.

One day left to sign up. Not particularly interested in running with less than 12, so unless we get at least two more I’ll probably postpone this.

Signup deadline will be 5pm today, game start will be at 6pm today, first round will be long due to mod scheduling and will have its deadline be 7pm on Wednesday.

Btw I've decided to do some stuff through Discord instead of on the site, if this is an issue please let me know. If you're interested in spectating let me know as well!

Rocks time! Please join the Discord here: https://discord.gg/fchF82xv

The game will begin at 6pm Eastern! Feel free to join and use the Discord but please don't start PMing others about the game yet. A list of players will be put into the post I reserved.

Game on!

First we had a tribe swap based on selecting curling stones and ended up with:

AILSA CRAIG TRIBE:
Tris
Vash
Shrek
Xof
Shea
Stoive
Marci

TREFOR TRIBE:
T-Bone
AniX
Silver
Kdowns
Cheery
Klick
Ausuka

Then, Kdowns won immunity for Trefor, sending Ailsa Craig to Tribal Council. Deadline is Wednesday at 7pm EDT in (expired on 2023-09-06 19:00:00). Please vote in your Discord confessional.
