Yes folks, The Tribe Has Spoken Game is back again! Once again we will split the game (spoiled and unspoiled). I don’t know if there are any successful spoilers out there, but just in case, we’ll continue to split the game. RULES 1. Beginning with the September 21st show (week 2), 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 September 14th show (week 1) to assess the new Castaways and determine our picks. Sample weekly submission: Week 2: Coach 2. Important: You may use each Castaway only ONE time for the duration of Survivor: South Pacific. 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. 9. Late comers to the game will be accepted only during our second week of play (or, third week of Survivor airing on September 28th). 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. 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. Here's hoping we get to see a bunch of you playing the game!!

Yay for more playing!! OK, I really lucked out last season with the Redemption Island twist. See, if someone had re-entered the game, I realized too late that, once they were booted from the game they stopped making picks. So, if they had gotten back into the game, they would have had a whole bunch more picks to use than those who had continued to play and make picks. Putting them at an unfair advantage. So, I hope the revised rules for Redemption Island (that I'll post below) fixes that error. Please let me know if it makes any sense, and if it seems fair to you!

MORE RULES REDEMPTION ISLAND TWIST After you are booted from the Island, you may continue to play the game as a “Ghost” via the 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, you can’t just vacation on RI and stop making picks, and then re-enter the game with a bunch more available picks to choose from than anyone else still in the game. For that reason, here is how we’ll play the Redemption Island twist. 1. During the duration your castaway is on Redemption Island, you must continue to make picks as a Ghost in order to re-enter the game later. You will make your picks from the castaways still available to pick from that are still actively in the Game (ie, on the Island, but not sent to RI yet). 2. While you make your Ghost Picks, your rank in the game will remain the same, unless you re-enter the game. Your rank will also remain the same regardless of when your castaway might end up leaving Redemption Island. 3. If you fail to make a Ghost Pick while your castaway is on Redemption Island, then you are also out of the game permanently, regardless if your original RI castaway re-enters the game. 4. If someone you picked as a Ghost Pick gets voted out, they are not available for you to use to get back into the game. In other words, you can’t have more than one “champion” castaway working for you on Redemption Island. The only castaway that can earn your way back in is the one who originally got you booted. 5. Once your castaway leaves Redemption Island, you are out of the game permanently. 6. If you do re-enter the game, the castaway that helped you earn your way back in is not available for you to pick/use, since you already used them in the game when you were first booted. 7. All other active castaways are still available for you to use if you re-enter the game. 8. Whichever castaway re-enters the game, if any player has not yet used them as a pick, the castaway is now available to use as a pick for the duration of the game.

Biginjapan, are you playing spoiled or unspoiled? And whichever way you choose to play, there is a separate thread for each (spoiled/unspoiled) to post in. Thanks!
