The Survivor Rulebook

The Survivor Rulebook is a list of rules that must be followed by all contestants on Survivor Recess Version. If you break the rules, you may not get the prize candy, could get kicked out of the game, or even banned from participating in any season.

**RULES**

**Pre-Game:**

1. No breaking the laws or rules of the school
2. You can not bring anything that can help you with the game to recess
3. Starting after Worlds Apart, contestants must share there medical history in case anything dangerous to them may happen
4. You can never, ever, steal something from another player. Not a immunity idol, or not something to taunt them with
5. The contestants must be responsible for there actions: other players can not help if the game goes wrong or if they do something controversial, or bad in the game.

**Competition**

6. The host can ask any questions about camp, and you must be honest if its one-on-one, there can't be anything missed

7. Pre-Merge, the contestants can not interact or form alliances from anyone on the opposite tribe until you merge. However, you can talk strategy with your own tribe outside of recess.

8. IF fighting with other players, physical contact is ok, but if any person gets seriously hurt while engaging with another person while fighting, the person that hurt that person will get prize candy taken away, However, if the other person isn't hurt, the rule isn't broken.

**Location**

9. Even if you are roleplaying as in an actual camp with food, there is still no eating grass/or tree bark

10. No destroying or littering the area

**Challenges**

11. Castaways must participate in all competitions, physical or mental unless they are sitting out.

12. Castaways must follow the rules of the challenge stated to them by Quincy. If they are unsure of a rule, they may ask. If they do not abide by the rules, they could get pulled from the challenge (not allowed to participate in it)

13. A challenge could be cancelled, if it needs to be. If told that it is cancelled, you must leave immediately, no staying or saying you win. In the event that this happens, no one wins. There might even be a different challenge later to determine a winner.

14. Helping other castaways in individual immunity challenges, when there is stations, is forbidden. Helping them while still in the challenge, like Quiz Time is teaming up. However, if you are eliminated from the challenge and are helping someone, that is a violation of the rules.

15. A tribe may forfeit the challenge, as long as every member agrees.

**Tribal Council**

16. All castaways must attend Tribal Council if there team loses, unless there is a twist that says otherwise. Same for merge Tribal Councils.

17. A castaway cannot vote for themselves or the person that has immunity. If they do, they must recast there vote.

18. The host can eliminate any member of the Jury. This will most likely happen if the person quit the game, got medically evacuated, is not there on the day of Final Tribal Council, or does something controversial, or inappropriate.

19. All Jury members must show up for Final Tribal Council unless removed by Rule 18.

20. If you refuse to vote, you will either be voted out, or not able to participate in the next immunity challenge.

21. The person voted out will be determined by plurality, not majority. For example, at the final four, you need at least 3 to be voted out. However, if one person votes for one person, the second person votes for a different person, and the last two vote for one person, that one person will be voted out even though it wasn't 3 votes.

22. If a tie occurs, only the people in the tie are eligible for elimination, and every person must vote for one of them

**Additional Rules**

23. Castaways can not speak strategy to players on the opposite team at challenges. They can still speak to each other, but can not discuss strategy or alliances.

24. Castaways could be evacuated, if sick, or leaving early. If this happens after the challenge but before Tribal Council, Tribal Council is cancelled. If it happens Before the challenge, Tribal Council will go on for the losing team.

25. Castaways are responsible to report if they feel uncomfortable with another castaway, or if another castaway is breaking the rules, or if there is something that threatens the safety of castaways or personnel. For example, if another castaway is going to fight someone and tells everyone, they still can (see rule 8), but they MUST tell Quincy to tell the castaway, or if they plan to fight the host, they must tell him. If they feel uncomfortable with another castaway they also must report it, as the other castaway could be ejected from the game, if they are really not doing something ok. Ex. inappropriate touching, death threats, etc

**Prize Candy**

26. The winner will not receive the candy, until the day after the win, when it is absolutely certain that they won.

27. Making deals to share prize candy with other castaways is STRICTLY prohibited. There is also no other deals to make people vote for you to win. However, you can make different types of deals such as "I will vote with you, if you can show me why is should trust you." Final 2 deals are no longer okay after an incident in China.
