Most challenges are LIVE. Challenge time will vary from season to season. Live challenges can happen anywhere from 5pm EST - 10 pm EST. Non-Live challenges are rare; but, may be used once or twice and everyone will be given anywhere from 20-24 hours to complete the challenge. I myself; will attempt to stay active and stray away from doing non-live challenges as I feel it keeps the cast more active.
Voting deadline's are strict. The normal deadline for any season will happen roughly 2 hours before the set challenge time. Votes will be read as soon as I get them all or when my deadline for votes is reached. This may be extended/reduced if necessary, and you will be notified if such a change occurs. If your vote is not submitted in time, then you will receive a self-vote. If you self-vote three times you will automatically be removed from the game.
Ties are resolved by a re-vote (excluding a 4-person Tribe.) If the re-vote is still a tie; rocks will be drawn to determine which castaway is eliminated. The only people are immune are the people who the tie was between and if someone has individual immunity they are also immune from drawing rocks. Random.org will determine which castaway is eliminated. In the event of a tie with a 4-person Tribe. The re-vote will be skipped and a Fire-making challenge will take place between the two players who received votes. See......
http://www.tengaged.com/group/8865/forum/topic/19507376 Immunity Idols - Idol form may vary from season to season - But, most Idols can be played until the Final 5 with the exception of one-time use Idols/special Idols. Idols could be hidden in the oldest blogs of tengaged users, idol board or etc. If you find an Idol; you will receive a notification mail with an image link. If you want to play your Idol on yourself or someone other than yourself; you MUST present the image link upon use.
As for this Season; there will be ONE Hidden Immunity Idol placed on the very First Blog a tengaged user for both Tribe's. Clues will be rewarded to the winning Tribe to help narrow the search. There will also be ONE Idol placed on another Blog once the merge takes place. Aside from that; you will learn that this season will be the season of Temptations. This season; we will witness Temptation Idols come to play! Temptation Idols can/will be offered at pre-determined points throughout the game.
And finally; CONFESSIONALS! Confessionals are a MUST! This is how; I myself; and the viewer's can determine who the PLAYERS are! I expect at least one confessional every in-game day. Confessionals also help determine awards at the end of every season. They can also help when determining returnee status.
*VOTES/CONFESSIONS and Idol Transactions must be sent to BOTH BestHeroD AND I*
