Hello and thank you for considering joining URTV! Please read through these rules and regulations so you have a familiar idea of what you're signing up to. Failure to follow the guidelines could result negatively, some even resulting in expulsion.
First and foremost, you must be C-O-M-M-I-T-T-E-D! If you're one of those people that sign up to any ORG you see and never visit again, do not sign up. Period. This game will require you to check the board often in order to keep up with the game. How the game will be scheduled and when you need to be here will be explained below.
SCHEDULING
I run ORGs on what I call "real-time scheduling". Basically what this means is that it closely resembles an actual Big Brother week. All weeks will be 7-8 days in length. I do this so everyone can live their life, people in power can discuss their options, and nominees can campaign to the best of their ability. This also gives ample time for challenges to be scheduled and agreed upon. There will be three challenges that you'll have to complete within the weeks as well. This goes along with paying attention to the ongoings, strategizing, keeping your Diary Room updated, etc. If you cannot handle this, do not sign up. Simple as that.
And yes, obviously this means that game won't be finished in a month. So if you prefer games that finish quick, fast, and easy - this game probably isn't for you either.
CHARACTERS
In my Re-DO series, you'll be restricted to playing the houseguests from that season. In URTV7, you'll be playing houseguests from Big Brother 8.
Note that the character you choose is simply an alias and picture base for you in this game. You do not have to be upfront & controversial if you're playing Evel Dick or be quiet & reserved if you're playing Mike. If you wish to roleplay a bit, that's fine. However you act is up to you.
Also I'd like to get out of the way that nobody will have any pre-game special abilities or tasks due to who they play in the case of the "rivals" Dick/Daniele, Joe/Dustin, and Carol/Jessica.
HOUSE
Once the game begins, you'll be allowed to enter the house and post away. Let me give you a short tour.
Livingroom - This is the meeting area. You'll introduce yourselves here when the game first begins. Afterwards, all ceremonies will take place here.
Social Grounds - The backyard, kitchen, and bathroom will be here. This is just general chit-chat forums for houseguests in the game.
Bedrooms - Everyone will be able to have their own bedroom. Originally I was going to carry over last season's accurate emulation of bedrooms, but I'm scrapping that this season. We'll be back to bedrooms simply being rooms limited to a few people exclusively.
There is also, of coarse, the HOH bedroom. The winner of the HOH each will have their own private suite that they can invite anyone into. HOH bedroom is optional. The HOH in question must contact me the password if they want it.
COMPETITIONS
Competitions are, of coarse, a big part of the game. There are three main competitions in the game.
HOH Competition - This weekly challenge to determine the Head of Household. These competitions are usually non-live or in sessions, but they can be live too. Win this challenge and you will earn the right to your own bedroom, a pass off slop, immunity for the week, and more importantly the duty to nominate two people for eviction.
POV Competition - This challenge will have the HOH, the two nominees, and three other houseguests that are randomly drawn. These challenges are usually live and will require you to be here, but other times it might not be. The winner of this competition will have the Power of Veto - the powerful medallion which can save someone from the nomination block, including themself.
Food Competition - These challenges will test your teamwork with the others. You will have to work together to keep you and others off the dreaded slop. "Slop" comes in four elements which won't halter your gameplay experience, but will make your appearance more upsetting. Your sig will be replaced with a slop banner, your avatar will be sized down, and you will be given the special slop skin.
RULES & GUIDELINES
Let's get some rules out of the way.
Continuously abusing rules and regulations will put you in line for expulsion and removal from the game. Here is the list of the do nots in URTV.
- No cheating under any circumstances. If you're evicted, do not get involved in challenges. Do not share answers with anyone unless told otherwise. Anyone caught cheating in a challenge will be immediately DQ'd.
- Once you are evicted, you are evicted. Period. Do not get involved in the board events or try to help former allies or hinder former enemies. If I find out that you've been affecting game play, you may risk being banned from the board.
- Note that all plans, twists, and competitions are 100% pre-planned. I have it sitting in Housecalls since before I even received my first application. I will never create a twist to benefit someone. While on this subject - claiming this game is rigged and constantly complaining will NOT go over well with me.
- Be wary of personal attacks. I'm usually very lenient on arguing and we've had plenty of intense, obscenity throwing fights in all five seasons. However I don't want to see anyone posting pictures of people or using personal things against someone. This is a game. There is no reason to do that here.
- If I make a mistake in a challenge, please let me know. We're all human and sometimes I may miss something over. I'll give anyone who loses a challenge due to a mistake on my part a chance to appeal the decision.
- Stay active. This is a pretty steady, slow game that will have lots of downtime for you to catch up.
- Avoid the blacklist. This list simply means that I'll ignore any applications you send into future URTV games. You're added onto this list if you get expelled or quit in any of my games. Some of these people are temporary, some are permanent. The list will never be shown to public (Though most of you, I'm sure, know who's on it) and you can keep yourself off of it if you follow the small amount of rules in this game.
THANK YOU!
I hope you took the time to read these rules. If you have read and understood them, feel free to sign up and get started immediately! Enjoy your stay at the Big Brother House!
