### Formats

* **Raising The Bar**: This format literally requires zero social skill at all! Here is how it will work. You will be divided into two houses, the House of Kappa and the House of Phi. Each player will play individually in the daily challenge in an attempt to place high. The higher you place, the less chance you have to go into elim. This is because each player will also vote for who they DONT want to be the bar, which is a player that will represent the divide between the players safe and players in elimination. The player with the least amount of votes will become the bar, with ties broken at random. All players in a house that place above their respective bar will be safe from elimination, while everyone below the bar will be in elimination. If the bar is last place in the daily, they will be purged. If one person finishes below the bar, they will be instantly purged. You can communicate between houses this round though. Good luck!
* **Cash Grab / Cash Grab 2**: The bars were given very important jobs. They will be drafting teams for the next format, and only team seasons. This can either be a live draft or we will go off the lists of the players. Here is how Cash Grab works. The players are divided into 2 teams, and then compete in a daily challenge. If the challenge is individual, the player who wins the challenge overall will win for their team and will form the empire. For this season, the player who wins overall will decide 2 other players from their own team to join them in the empire. These 3 people are the only players totally safe from elimination. They will choose ANY other player in the game to go into elimination via a vote between them, and tying it will have consequences. The losing team will also hold a public vote of their own, where they will deliberate and decide one player to enter elimination from their team. Tying that will be disastrous as well. The two players in elimination will then face off in elimination, where the winner stays and the loser goes home.
* **Besties**: Duo format! This format is pretty simple, and here is how it works. For this round, you will be able to choose your partner. When the partner picking channel opens up, you may begin picking a partners by typing each others name in the channel. The duos will then compete in the daily challenge where the winning duo will become the only immune duo. That duo will have priority and choose one duo to enter elimination. Every other duo will then vote with their duo partner (one vote per duo) and privately for one other duo to enter elimination. If there is a tie, whoever reached the tied amount of votes first will go into elimination. If the immune duo chooses the same duo as the winning duo, the duo with the second most votes will enter elimination. The duos will then play an elimination game where the winners come back to the house and the losers will leave the house for good!
* **Stylish Saviors**: This was the first format that JMilk hosted! It is also a duo format as well. However, you can say goodbye to your partners you have now, as like some of the duos on Stylish Saviors, you are being randomly paired up with another player. Once you have your duo partner, you will compete in the daily challenge with them. While competing the daily challenge, you will also must choose a duo to secretly save (as a duo) in the event that you win. The winners of the daily challenge will then gift the Tao Mandalas to another duo, instantly saving them from any form of elimination. The duo who received the Mandalas will know they got them, but not the rest of the house. The losers of the daily challenge will be the first ones in elimination, unless they have the Tao Mandalas, which in that case the 2nd lowest placing duo will enter elimination. Then, each player will secretly and individually vote for another duo to enter elimination. If there is a tie, the daily winners will break the tie. If the duo with the most votes also holds the Tao Mandalas, the duo with the second most votes will enter elimination. The two duos will then compete as a duo in elimination, where the winners will return to the game.
* **Free Agents**: This round will be played individually, sorta. To start, we are going to separate you into 4 teams of 4. Captains will be selected at random and we will snake draft the other 3 players. The daily will then be played in teams, where there will be a winning and a losing team. The losing team will then participate in the draw, where 1 of the 4 losing players will randomly enter elimination. At the same time, the 4 players that won will individually vote for 1 player not on their team. If the vote ties, the person who got to the tied amount of votes first will enter elimination. If the player who gets voted in also is the player who draws the kill card, a new kill card will be randomized. There will then be a 1 v 1 elimination where the winner will return to the game and the loser goes home while we all weep at their loss.
* **Solitary**: This format is kinda ... interesting. Here is the deal. You all will be cut off from all communication. So please no DMs, house chat, alliances, etc. Then, I will randomly assign everyone a number in their confessional 1 through 15. Each number is completely random and you are not allowed to tell anyone your number. If someone tries to communicate to you at all and you snitch on them, you will be rewarded handsomely. Snitches get wine and grapes here. If they tell you their number, I will reward you even GREATER. After the daily challenge, the results of each player (their number) will be revealed, and the winner will be the only one safe. Then, the winner will be tasked with nominating 2 random numbers to enter elimination. The two numbers will then compete in elimination where the winner stays and the loser gets the boot. Afterwards, everyone's number will be revealed because I think it would be quite humorous. Because each challenge was an app competition, you will get some other challenges other than ones on the season.
* **Vengeance**: This format is starting a little weird. First off, we asked the eliminated player to pick someone to enter elimination immediately as a part of the Revenge pick twist. This means they will not compete in the daily challenge and will not receive a vote in the elimination vote. Everyone else will compete in the daily challenge, where the winner will be the only person safe from elimination and the loser will head straight to elimination. Afterward, everyone except for the players in elimination will cast a vote for one player who did not win the daily challenge or who is not in elimination to enter elimination as well. These votes will be cast in private and publicized afterward. Once we have 3 players in elimination, an elimination game will be played where the winners will return to the game and the sole loser will be evacuated off the premises immediately. Good luck!
* **Ascender**: We are purging 2 players. Bottom 2 players in the next competition are outta here. If you don't understand then I suggest you eat more fruits and vegetables.
* **Marked**: At the beginning of the cycle, all the challengers will start the daily challenge. The winner becomes the Top Astronaut and the loser will head straight to elimination. The Top Astronaut will nominate 2 players to enter elimination. Everyone else that is not in elimination, nominated, or the Top Astronaut, will then vote between the two nominees. The one with the most votes will enter elimination. The two players will then face off where the winner stays in the game and the loser is gone.
* **Boot Camp**: This cycle will begin with a daily challenge. At the same time, each player will vote for who they wish to see in elimination, The top three players will then form "The Board", where the winner will be "The Head". At the same time, each player will submit a vote of who they wish to enter the elimination. The top 3 vote getters will then become candidates for elimination. You may not vote for yourselves. If for some reason there are only 2 vote getters, we will decide the third candidate a little differently. The lowest placing player from the daily challenge that is not nominated will become a nominee. Same thing if there is a tie, the lowest placing players in the daily challenge in the tie will be nominated. The Board will then deliberate and choose 1 or the 3 nominees publicly to enter elimination. If the vote is a 1-1-1, the Head's vote will be the only vote that matters. The player in elimination will then get to choose between 1 or 3 cards to determine their opponent. The cards have been placed before this cycle started. Once the card has been flipped and the elimination players chosen, the players in elimination will compete, where 1 player will be eliminated and leave the game for good.
* **New Battle**: The original! This format is tweaked a bit, but you get the jist. To start, everyone will compete in the daily challenge, where the winner will become Untouchable for the cycle. The dead last loser is going straight to elimination. The winner of the daily challenge will also save one player who is not in last place to be safe for the round. They will decide this player during the daily challenge phase. Here is where the format changes, everyone will vote privately for one other player to enter elimination that is not the daily winner, the saved player, or the player in elimination. Everyone gets a vote. The player with the most votes will head straight to elimination and face the daily loser, where the winner returns to the game and the loser is going home short.
* **Duo Wanna Marry Me**: The last duo format you will get because it’s been a while! Here is how it will work. You will all team up again to make couples. You can pick your partner. After all pairs are selected, we will go to the daily challenge where the winners will become The Married. This couple is the only couple safe from elimination. Each duo will then give the Married couple wedding gifts (plea their case on why they shouldn’t go to elimination). The married couple will then decide to send thank you cards to two of the three couples, making them safe for the round as well. The couple that did not receive a thank you card will become so angry at each other for not picking a good gift that they will go to divorce court (elimination). There, they will compete in an epic hearing (challenge) where the winner gets all the possessions (stays in the game) and the loser has to pay hefty lawyer fees (eliminated).
* **Human Centipede**: This is the LAST format before the final. Yeah, congrats! Survive this, and you go run my final, no skull, key, or cash required. Here is how this format will work. You will compete as individuals in the daily challenge. The winner of the daily challenge is the ONLY person safe this round, and will automatically go to the final. They will then start the Human Centipede. They will pick one person to not immediately go into elimination. That person will then pick another player who was not picked, and so on. For example, if the players were JMilk, Cest, Alv, Larry, and Brandon, a possible chain would be: JMilk (Daily Winner) picts Cest, who picks Alv, who picks Larry, meaning Brandon goes straight to elimination. After we have one player in elimination, that player will be able to call out any player that is not the daily winner to join them in elimination. Because we want to speed up the process, please submit your safety lists and your callout (do 2 if your first pick is unavailable to be picked) with your daily challenge. We will have live picks and call outs, but the lists are just a precaution in case someone is unable to be there are results. The two players will then face off in elimination where the winner makes the final and the loser is the last player eliminated from All Stars.
