Our Rules

All of these rules are posted and public for viewing on our community Discord server, but they will also be placed here in order to have a second place to reference these rules.
== Community Rules ==
These are the rules that are enforced in our community hub server. Being that the hub server is the gathering place for literally every alumni of every gameshow that is hosted, there needs to be some guidelines to follow.
=== Rule 1: Be nice to people. ===
We're fine with the occasional argument every now and then, and we'll step in when necessary, but refrain from making attacks on personal integrity or intentionally hassling someone. Respect is key within our community.
=== Rule 2: Do NOT give any information about ongoing or future events within a season to anyone outside of a season. ===
If we catch you doing this, you will be immediately banned from the server. 
=== Rule 3: If there is an issue that you feel should be brought to the mods attention, message a moderator immediately ===
We will do our best to rectify the situation. Issues include excessive harassment, rule breaking, etc.. Significant issues do NOT include being annoyed with someone or something within the server.
=== Rule 4: Do not ask us to make you a moderator, or a host. ===
If we need another moderator or host to add to the team, Ryo or another primary host will approach you for your help.
=== Rule 5: Do not spam. ===
It's obnoxious, and we'll mute you. 
=== Rule 6: Any discrimination of any kind; racial, sexual, gender, etc. will be met with a mute, and, dependent on the severity of the case, a ban. ===
=== Rule 7: No advertising for other games, except in #advertisements. ===
Any advertisement posts seen anywhere else will be deleted. Should also be noted that only alumni and hosts can send messages in #advertisements, as we do not want a new person joining our community with their only intent being to advertise their own series. If you are a non-alum and still wish to advertise, please message a host or moderator asking to put it in #advertisements for you.
== General Gameshow Rules ==
These are the rules that are generally present in every gameshow we host. Each individual server and gameshow will have some variation of these, but they are the core rules that are expected to be followed and enforced across all the games that are hosted.
=== 1: This game works on a strike system. ===
If you break the rules once, I’ll give a warning unless otherwise specified that you’ll get an immediate strike for breaking that rule. If you get three strikes, you will be removed from the game.
=== 2: When a challenge or voting happens, you’ll have 24 hours from the moment it is announced to submit your challenge score/vote. ===
Failure to do so will result in a strike.
=== 3: Once you send in a vote, you can not change that vote. ===
If you vote, it is locked in forever, so be careful when you send in your vote that you are sure it is the one you want.
=== 4: You can submit more than one score for the challenge if ya want. ===
But you must submit a score or say you're abstaining from the challenge before the 24 hour deadline is up, otherwise you’ll receive a strike. If you submit more than one score for the challenge, I will take the most recent score submission as the one you want me to use. In addition, this must be a full screenshot, including the time of it being taken. We should be able to see the URL, the time it was taken, or at the very least, the full game screen. Zoomed in score submissions or unclear ones will be disregarded.
=== 5: If you can’t compete in a challenge, you can abstain from it (notify/tell us that you are not competing before the time limit and explain why) and you will not get a strike. ===
Otherwise, not submitting for mandatory challenges will result in a strike.
=== 6: Some challenges will have challenge chats.Don’t speak in them until we specify it is okay for you to do so. ===
Failing to follow this will most likely result in a penalty for that specific challenge.
=== 7: You can only talk about the season with people in your game channels. ===
If you’re friends with people in the same game but in a different channel, you can not talk to them. You can talk to them outside of the game, Just not about the season you are in.
=== 8: You CAN NOT send screenshots or copy/paste a private conversation you’ve had with someone in this game to another castaway or in any discord channel related to this game (unless it is your confessional chat and you’re sending it in as part of a confessional for me.) ===
Breaking this rule will result in a strike and a challenge penalty.
=== 9: If you make an alliance chat discord group outside of the discord chat, you will receive a strike and a penalty. ===
Alliance chats will be through the discord and at the beginning of each game will be explained how to set one up.
=== 10: Confessionals! ===
Please send one at least once every three “days” in the game. We want to know what’s going on in your game, and we also make documents if the events of the seasons. These will also help determine if you return for another season or not.
=== 11: Respect your fellow cast members on a basic level. ===
Disrespect isn’t necessarily against the rules, because I am sure an argument or two will happen in tribe chats between people throughout this game. Just don’t get into anything too personal like racism, sexism, homophobic comments, etc. We will step in if we feel anyone is breaking this rule. First offense will be a warning, repeat offenses could result in you being removed from the game depending on the severity and intent.
=== 12: NO ADVERTISING OTHER STUFF IN ANY OF THESE CHANNELS! ===
This is a discord chat meant for playing and watching an ORG, therefore advertisements have no purpose here. Advertising in here is only allowed after the season is over, or if we state other wise.
=== 13: NO BLOCKING OTHERS. ===
You are in this ORG to use and overcome social bonds with your fellow castaways. In a game situation, you can ignore people, but you cannot outright block them. Blocking any other castaway will result in a strike. Refusing to unblock will result in further consequence.
=== 14: You are NOT allowed to deliberately self vote. ===
This is a game rule taken from Survivor itself, and attempting to vote for yourself deliberately is against the Atlas Production Policy, no matter the situation. If you are caught deliberately self voting, you will receive two strikes and your vote will not be read.
