Welcome to Big Brother! This game is based on the hit reality show and is brought to you by myself (With permission obtained by Alex who previously ran this but was cancelled due to personal reasons). This game is similar to that of Survivor however it has many different rules, methods and of course, prizes.

Big Brother tests a player's (Or houseguest as it is called in this game) intelligence, determination and emotional strands. This game is open to anyone who is willing to accept a challenge.

Big Brother Guideline -- How To Play

What is Big Brother?

As stated before, Big Brother is about a group of strangers evicted (I.E voting) each other out of the "house" until one person is remaining and crowned the Big Brother winner.

What exactly do we do?

After reading this guideline (Which I'm sure all of you are doing), you will PM myself an application (Which will be posted after this guideline) and if you are accepted you will be notified.

• Ah, well if I get accepted, what do I do after?
  
  Once you are accepted as a houseguest in Big Brother there will be a thread created which will outline what will be happening in the game in the new month or so. You may post there and get to know your fellow houseguests if you wish. You may also send private PM's to your fellow houseguests, in this game, anything goes.

After everyone who has been accepted in the game has posted, I will post the first challenge and the winner will become the Head of Household (HOH for short) for a week.

• What is Head of Household?
  
  The Head of Household is the most powerful position in the house. Every week, the Head of Household must nominate two people in the house for eviction.

• What does "nominate for eviction mean"?
  
  Nominating someone from evicition means you are placing two people on the "block" to be voted out. The rest of the remaining houseguests (Excluding the HOH and the two nominees) will be able to vote on which nominee they want to vote out. Once a decision is made, that person will be evicted from the game.

After the HOH has made a decision and the two nominees are announced, there will be roughly two-three days for the two nominees to campaign against one another (In the thread or through PM) to convince the houseguests not to evict them. This isn't a necessary thing to do but if you wish to stay in the game, you must try and convince your fellow houseguests why you should stay in.

Two or three days after the nominees are announced, there will be a Power of Veto competition.

• What is the Power of Veto?
  
  The Power of Veto (POV for short) is a competition which only the current HOH, the two nominees and one player of their choosing can participate in (The HOH will choose a "partner" to play with, and the two nominees will each choose one "partner" to play with). The rest of the houseguests who are not participating in the challenge must simply stand by and watch as their fellow houseguests compete.
  
  The POV itself has the power to take one of the nominees off the block. This will than force the HOH to nominate a new houseguest. However, the HOH cannot re-nominate the nominee which was taken off OR the POV winner. If the POV is won by the one of the nominees, they can use it on themselves or choose NOT to use it. If the POV is won by one of the "partners" playing, they can take off one of the nominees or choose NOT to use it. If the POV is won by the HOH, they can choose to take one of their nominees off or choose NOT to use it.
  
  As stated before, if a nominee is taken off the block, the HOH must nominate a new houseguest for eviction.

Two days after the ceremony, a houseguest will be evicted from the Big Brother house. Every houseguest (Excluding the current HOH, and the two nominees themselves) will vote for one of the two nominees to leave the game. Once that person leaves, there will be another HOH competition and everything will once again repeat. But there is one thing which will NOT be repeated, the following HOH competition will have two less players competing (The evicted houseguest and the previous HOH), the previous HOH is NOT allowed to participate in the next HOH competition.

• What do I do if I'm evicted?
  
  If you are evicted from the Big Brother house and are one of the first five evicted from the house, you are free to talk freely about anything game wise to any of your fellow evicted houseguests. However, you can only talk freely to any of the first five houseguests evicted, any houseguest evicted after that point is off limits.
  
  As a bonus, you will also be interviewed by myself about the game and I will post the interview either on the main Big Brother thread or on the Commentary thread.
  
• How does someone win Big Brother?
  
  After the first five houseguests are evicted, every houseguest after that will be part of the Jury house. One by one a houseguest will enter the Jury house (After being evicted that is) and will in the end, decided which of the two last contestants will win Big Brother.
  
• What are the rules for the Jury House?
  
  If you make it to the Jury House, you can only discuss anything you know with anyone else who ENTERS the Jury House. You may NOT talk to the first five evicted houseguests about the Big Brother game, you are NOT allowed to reveal anything secret to them. You may only reveal secrets, lies, etc... to the member's of the Jury House.
  
  Once they are two houseguests remaining in the house, the Jury will be able to ask one question to each of the final two and they'll make their decision on who they want to win. They will cast a vote for whoever they want to win.

After the winner is crowned, the main thread will be locked and anyone (Houseguests and fans) will be able to comment on anything. You may talk about secret alliances in the game, why someone lied, why someone threw a HOH competition for someone else, etc...

Rules

1. Lying, cheating, manipulating, etc... is ALL part of the game. Please remember that it's just a game and anything goes.

2. Making alliances is something that is encouraged in the game as you may need someone to be on your side in the game, perhaps this person may even vote for you to win the game?

3. Do not outright flame anyone in the main thread, keep all of those "tidbits" in PM's.

4. Have fun!

If you have any questions, please feel free to post.

How many favourites do you need? Three for each cathegory? Only one?

It doesn't matter, you can put as many as you want.

I think I know the answer to this- but I guess I'll check.

Will you announce who gets in as soon as they send it in, or are you going to wait till a certain deadline to announce?

Thankies.

You will know if you are part of the game by next Wednesday.

I have a question. If you don't know anything about Big Brother, can you still join? Will it affect us at all?

You can still join.

I made a guideline in case no one knew what Big Brother was and whatnot, but NO challenge will be based on players from the Big Brother series.

What will the challenges be based on then? or can you not tell us

They will be based on a variety of things, no Neopet related challenges. Nothing hugely themed but I already have the first HOH competition chosen and it's not a theme really.

You just made me more confused! Now I don't know what to think.

I think he said 'It will be based on lots of different things, not having a big theme but maybe a small one. Nothing neopets related.

I hope you start a BB Werewolf.

I hope this time I can play... last time I missed signups for Survivors and had to sit watching... mind you, watching was a lot of fun too

I like the english version better. *cough*Plus ours came first*cough*

The whole house votes for 2 people and the 2 or more with the most votes go up for evection. Then the public votes for who is evicted. The winner is also chosen by the public. But... meh...

Actually CD, the Swedish version was the first one.

But the way you described the UK version was how the first season of the American Big Brother was run. Everyone was up for "banishment" (Which was the term for "eviction") except those who won a certain contest or something and the public decided who was "banished" and who won. The way I have it put in my post is how it's run now (It was changed when Big Brother 2 rolled around), I prefer it better.

At least we all love Big Brother no matter what, and that's what matters.



That depends if Scott gives me the job like next summer as I never want to run one again at least until a couple of months later. But we could have the Friendship as the evil team.
