Rules

## **001. Format**

Chameleon of Worlds is an ORG (Online Reality Game) series hosted exclusively through Discord and Tumblr. Competitions and other game events will be posted on the Tumblr blog. The game itself and all game interactions will take place over a Discord Server. There will be a main chat with all of the players on Discord, which will also be viewable from the VL. From there you can privately message other players and form separate alliance chats! Updates will be posted to the “announcements” chat. As for the game itself, it will change each season. There will be no guarantees that a format will be repeated. The specifics of each format and any differences they might have from their source games will be announced with the season.

## **002. Diary Room**

At the start of the game, you will be added to a channel on the main Discord server with just the hosts. This will be your Diary Room. Additionally, there will be some competitions hosted in your Diary Room. This is also the place where you will submit your scores for competitions as well as any video or audio diary room sessions you make! Whenever you’d like to vent about what is going on in the game, use this form to submit any text/video/audio diary room sessions. Additionally, we also will be having a Viewing Lounge where past players and spectators will be able to view the game. If you’d like to make a diary room to be sent to the Viewing Lounge, you can include “VL DR” before your submission! Diary Room entries are important because after the season you will be able to go through and read what everyone said in episode style.

## **003. Live Eliminations**

When an elimination is about to occur at the end of a round, there will be a live ceremony. This could range from a Tribal Council where each player is asked a question, to a live eviction where the nominees can give final pleas, to any other type of quick live event to give players a last ditch effort to save themselves. If these are predicted to take more than five minutes, all players will be notified. If you cannot attend, your votes and any goodbye messages and exit decisions are due before then. However, attendance is encouraged because there may be a Special Session.

## **004. Alliances**

Obviously, alliances are a huge part of this game and we hope that you create alliances to help yourself get to the end of the game! If you’d like to create an alliance chat, message your Diary Room on Discord and we will make a chat for you on the server! If you wish to voice chat with your alliance, you must make a group chat outside of the server and add the hosts to it. Text chatting can still be done within the server.

## **005. Competitions & Cheating**

Players will compete in various competitions throughout the season. Nearly all competitions will be due at 9PM EST the day after they are posted unless otherwise specified. We expect everyone to submit their own scores and to not alter their scores in any way. If you are caught altering your score or cheating in the competition in any way, you will be subject to either one strike or immediate expulsion depending on the circumstance. If you are thinking about cheating, don’t because the hosts WILL be able to tell and we WILL take action against you should we find you guilty of cheating. We take pride in having a well run and planned season and we demand that you respect our game by playing with integrity. Cheating is not only limited to photoshopping scores and collaborating on competitions, but also includes leaking information from pre-jury/jury/VL related chats to players in the game. If you are aware that someone is cheating on a competition, send us some form of proof and we will reward you! If you know someone is cheating and don't report it and we find out, you will be punished the same way as the person/people cheating. Punishments can include, but are not limited to, automatic nominations or votes against you, one or multiple strikes, or expulsion from the game.

## **006. Strikes**

Our method for enforcing the rules is to give out strikes when the rules are broken. If you fail to submit a vote for eviction, fail to send in a competition score (without telling us you can’t submit), harass other houseguests or do something else the hosts deem as worthy of a strike, then you will be given a strike.

* *One and Two Strikes* - **Warnings**
* *Three Strikes* - **Expelled**

## **007. Conduct**

While we encourage discourse and game related fights, we don’t condone harassment. There is a fine line between fighting someone in the chat and harassing them and we expect you to respect that boundary. If you ever are uncomfortable about the way someone is treating you in the game, don’t be afraid to message your Diary Room and we will work to make sure that your experience here is harassment free! Strikes will be given for each of these offenses. Finally, be respectful of both hosts and the other players. If you ever have a concern with how something is being handled please message your Diary Room and we promise we will look into it! That being said, we will not tolerate houseguests that are outright disrespectful. If you have prior history with another houseguest that makes you uncomfortable to be around them, this must be addressed NIGHT ONE and we will resolve the issue urgently and to the best of our abilities. If this issue is brought to our attention only after the other person gets themselves into a position of power, we won't be able to do very much.
