Diary Room:
The diary room is where houseguests will talk about anything they want about the game in privacy. Only you and the host will have access to your diary room, so feel free to speak your mind. You are required to post confessionals each round, and if you fail to do so, you will not be allowed to participate in the following HOH competition. You are also encouraged to post game-related conversations. If you post conversations, make sure to turn your timestamps off.
Competitions:
You will be notified of challenge times in advance. You will also have a deadline in which challenges are due, and challenges submitted after the deadline will not be counted. Some challenges will be held live on AIM at a time given in advance. It is up to you to be able to make the time set by the host for live challenges.
Head of Household:
Each week, the houseguests will compete for the title of Head of Household. Free from the threat of eviction, the HOH is responsible for nominating two houseguests for eviction. All nominations for eviction once made are final. The outgoing Head of Household will not be allowed to compete in the following HOH competition.
Power of Veto:
The Power of Veto winner can choose to remove one of the Head of Household's nominations from the chopping block, including themselves. The winner is also protected from becoming a replacement nominee for the week. If the veto holder chooses to remove a nominee, the current HOH must choose a replacement nominee. Only six houseguests will compete in the Veto Competitions.
Voting:
Voting will also take place in your Diary Room. You will be asked to give goodbye messages to the nominated houseguests in order for your vote to count. The nominated houseguests will not vote, and neither will the Head of Household, except in the event of a tie, in which he or she will break it.
Once a vote is cast, it can be changed. If you fail to vote three times total over the course of the game or two times in a row, you will be removed from the game. If you know you are going to be offline for a long period of time, leave a list of the people remaining in the game in order from the person you would most like to evict to the person you would least like to evict.
Evicted Players:
If evicted from the game, please do not give information to players still in the game that could alter the outcome of the game in any way. You are also not allowed to discuss things that have been said in the Losers' Lounge or influence active houseguests in any way.
Accounts:
Houseguests are forbidden from giving their AIM or board passwords to other players. During the duration of the game, you are not permitted to give another player access to your account or to log onto another player's account.
Quitting:
If a houseguest decides to quit the game or has to be removed, that houseguest will forfeit their jury spot. If a houseguest who is not nominated for eviction quits or is expelled, the eviction will still take place and 2 people will leave that week. If a nominated houseguest quits or has to be expelled, the eviction will be canceled. The HOH's duties will be considered over and a new HOH competition will be played. If the HOH quits or has to be removed from the game, the eviction will also be canceled.
If you are inclined to call out a host for rigging, you should play a different game. All competitions and twists have been pre-planned and it is your job to overcome them.
