Yes folks, The Tribe Has Spoken Game is back again! We had a bit of success playing a split game (spoiled and unspoiled). Do the folks who played the unspoiled game want to do so again this season? I understand it might be a bit harder to get spoilers this season, but I assume there are still spoilers out there. RULES 1. Beginning with the February 23 show, anyone wanting to participate in this game will submit the name of a currently active Castaway they feel will survive that episode's Tribal Council. We will use the February 16 show to assess the new Castaways and begin our picking. Sample weekly submission: Week 1: Russell 2. Important: You may use each Castaway only ONE time for the duration of Survivor: Nicarauga. Your strategy may be to pick a castaway you perceive as weaker (but not "weakest"!) each week. Or your strategy may be to play it safe and pick a stronger castaway, to make sure you progress into the next week. Castaways you haven’t used, but whose torch gets snuffed are also no longer eligible to use for the game. 3. Submission must be prior to the start of the upcoming episode's first showing (i.e. Eastern Time) 4. If your Castaway survives the episode, you also survive in The Tribe Has Spoken Game. 5. If your Castaway is booted from Tribal Council, then you are booted from The Tribe Has Spoken Game. 6. If your chosen Castaway leaves for any other reason during the same episode, you are also out. This includes medical evac, quitting, double boots via multiple Tribal Councils, or any other incident which puts them out of the game. 7. If you miss a deadline, forget to pick, you are also out of the game. 8. The game will end either after the final episode (there can be ties, even for 1st) or when the last player’s torch has been snuffed. I'm not sure how to handle the Redemption Island thing. If the surviving Redemption Island Castaway goes back into the game, then they should be eligible to pick from, as long as you haven't already used them before. What I'm thinking of is, shall we do a twist in our game where, if the Castaway who got you booted from the game goes back into the game, then you can too? I'm open for feedback/suggestions. That includes a change to any of the already set rules.

Whoami, I had a great time with the game last time. Can't wait to start again. Your Redemption Island idea is fine with me.

Remember, tonight's show is an opportunity to assess the castaways. You won't need to submit a pick till next week's show. Good thing, since nobody has responded to my request to make two threads for each game here.

MORE RULES 9. Late comers to the game will be accepted only during our second week of play (or, third week of Survivor airing on March 2). In order to enter the game late, you must submit your normal pick, as well as a "discard" pick to even out your picks with those who started playing when the game began. 10. Redemption Island Twist: If a castaway goes back into the game via the Redemption Island twist this season, and that castaway is the one who got you booted from the Tribe Has Spoken Game when you picked them, then you may re-enter the Tribe Has Spoken Game and make picks again. However, since you have used that castaway as a pick, you may not use them again as a pick. 11. Redemption Island Twist: If a castaway goes back into the game via the Redemption Island twist this season, and you did not use that person as a pick before they were booted from the island, then they become eligible for you to use as a pick again once they re-enter the game. We will begin our game during Week 2 of Survivor. And I will chart our game as such. This is to keep our weeks the same as the weeks of the season. Hopefully to avoid confusion. Week 1 is an assessment week for us to get to know the cast.

Not dumb Happymom. I tend to get a bit too detailed when I write up rules, making it hard to get the simple facts. Anyway, in the first rule, it states we will start picking for the February 23rd show. Deadline then is before the show starts on the east coast on February 23.
