there are 9 game days, each consisting of 12 hours (4 and 1/2 real-time days). at the beginning of the game there will be 20 participants, the 3 least active players are put "up" on the block each day, and will have a question mark under their name. if you aren't nominated you can vote! give a 1 to the person you want to stay, 3 to the person you want to evict and 2 to whoever is left. the nominees are decided by a complicated algorithm made up of several variables, most we do not even know. if you press the green checkmark ("plussing") next to a message it will decrease that players chance of going up on the block slightly. if you pres the red x (negging) it will increase their chance of going up on the block. some people think negging is stupid, but if you want to win you have to do it! just make sure you do it somehow that the player doesn't know you're negging them.
at the end of each day 2 people are evicted, one based on the votes (3, 2, and 1) and one based on the least active (based on the activity, plussing negging etc.). then 3 more people are nominated, and the process repeats 8 times. on Day 9 there will be 4 players left, and after 12 hours the winner will be announced, again based off of activity.
