What Is It?

Big Brother Neoseeker is based on the popular US Reality TV series, Big Brother. The goal of Big Brother is simple: Take a large group of diverse people, and put them in a house together until only one single challenger is left standing. The power is in the hands of the houseguests themselves; fates are decided by challenges, and votes from other members in the household.

Big Brother Neoseeker takes this phenomena and translates it into the online forum setting. Physical activity aside, this social experience can be just as daunting and strenuous as the real thing. What would get you far is your ability to find a balance between maintaining social relationships while being a fierce competitor.

Previous finalist include Fusion, Estuve, and of course the winners; vanillagigglez and VulcanRaven.

If you believe you possess the ability to come out on top, be sure to read the rules and then refer to the Sign Up section for further details. For a clear example of how this game works, check out the past season threads. Season 1 and Season 2.

How To Play

This game takes place in "rounds" (sometimes referred to as weeks). At the beginning of a round, there is a competition to determine who wins the title of Head of Household. The person who wins Head of Household(HoH), is immune from being voted out during the round. The goal of HOH, however, is to nominate two people for eviction. Following nomination, there is the Veto competition. In the Veto Competition, the HoH, the two nominees, and an small array of selected houstguests compete for the Power of Veto. The winner of the Power of Veto (POV) has the option to save one of the people up for eviction by the HOH, or, the ability keep the nominees the same. At the end of the round, members of the house will vote for one of the people up for eviction, and the person with the most votes will be forced to leave the game. This process continues each round until only two people remain. Then the Jury (the last 5 contestants eliminated) vote for the winner of the game.

Brutality?!

This season of Big Brother will be the most cut-throat yet. This season, you must be prepared to make tough decisions on the notice of a whelm. Big Brother will be relentless, and will be expecting you to be too.

This season, enjoy your stay, but Don't Get Too Comfortable.

Rules

• Being active is a must! There are multiple challenges each round, so please only sign up if you are 100% sure you can commit to participating in multiple challenges each week. Most actions will take place in 24 hour intervals. 24 hours is the maximum amount of time that will be alloted for most deadlines, the exact pace, however will determined by the houseguests. If you do not think you will have time at least once a day to participate, do not sign up.

• Failure to compete in a HOH challenge results in automatic nomination. This will be held throughout the season. Remember, activity is a must in this game!

• Diaries (personal insight into the game; featuring out-of-thread discussion, thoughts, issues) will be due during each nomination ceremony. Without a diary, a vote is void, and a penalty (which ranges relative to tasks at hand) will be enforced during the next HOH round. Diaries will be posted for everyone to read at the very end of the season when the new winner is crowned. Keep that in mind when you are writing them. Diaries do not have a set text limit, but the better, more in depth they are written, the more enjoyable they will be for everyone else at the end of the season. Big Brother also really appreciates good diary entries, and is more willing to re-cast contestants with them.

• Alliances and personal relationships are encouraged. Speaking through pm, instant messages, or communicating, however, wherever else is encouraged and accepted.

• There are no limits on help in this game. If you ever feel yourself stuck in a challenge, it is encourage to use your sources. Neoseeker and the internet have an array of topics and available help. Feel free to take advantage of whatever you have at your disposal. If you have help, use it.

• Manipulation is part of the game. Backstabbing, lying, and other tactics *may* be necessary to win. However, at most, you must remember that it is *only* a game.

• This will not be exactly like Big Brother the television program. There are many international versions of the show as well, and this game is based on the US version. However, as this is the internet and not real life, of course there will be differences.

• When signups are opened, in your PM to me, please add the 'oops' smilie in it. All PMs which do not include the 'oops' smilie will be ignored. This rule is in place mostly to make sure that everyone has read the rules. ;)

• Have fun, and remember, enjoy your stay, but Don't Get Too Comfortable.
