{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.
{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:
{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.

{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 an 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.
