Basic Format
A number of Entertainment Professionals will be locked in an apartment with the aim of lasting until the In Your Hands PPV. The apartment will be located at the IYH's venue. There will be regular evictions from the house until we are left with a Final Three heading into In Your Hands.
Eliminations will be decided by a process of house mate nominations, and those who receive most nominations from their Peers will face a public vote to see who will be evicted.
There will be 'tasks' set to either the entire house (by public announcement) or to individuals (via the Confessional Room)
When we reach the final 3 the public will vote for an overall winner who will go on to compete for the World Heavyweight Championship, the first runner up will compete for the Cross Hemisphere Championship and the second runner up the Chaos title. The results will be announced LIVE during IYH's.
How this will work in an E-Fed
There will be a pinned feed set up in the Official Promo board that will act as the 'Live Feed'. Only the RP-ers who have characters in the House will be allowed to post inside. (I will set up a 'reactions' thread in the Unoffical section for everyone else to comment about the goings on)It will run like a continuing story, one person will start by writing something regarding their characters actions that will then be expanded on by someone else.
The House will go ‘Live’ On Tuesday May 5th.
In regards to nominations the competitors will be PM-ed when it is time to make their nominations and they will send a PM to Steve & Rob.
Everyone in the fed will be able to vote on Evictions and the Final three, even those who have characters involved. Each voter will have 6 points to allocate however they wish (to replicate the fact phone voting means multiple votes can be cast).
Evictions are likely to be revealed weekly, but there may be surprise evictions. Especially if we get a large number of housemates.
RP-ing Rules
The apartment’s only private space are the toilet cubicles and Confessional Booth, everywhere else is open to all competitors. Anyone can walk in on a conversation/action at any time.
All posts to the live feed must take place in real time; no dream sequences, video's etc, just events that could be seen on a live stream.
The Confessional Room is where people go to speak to The Voice of The House about anything they want, this should be done in the form of a PM (and would be cool if people actually mentioned their character was entering the Confessional), I will endeavour to show these to the whole fed at appropriate times (handlers can suggest this), but I reserve the right to reveal anything at any time that will help the House be entertaining.
If The Voice of the House calls your character to the Diary Room it means you have a PM and to check it ASAP.
Competitors can only reference events they have witnessed or have had another competitor tell them about in the stream. Whilst the handler can obviously read everything they have to be mindful of whether their character would realistically know about it.
Nominations will take place via a PM to me, you will receive a PM when nomination time comes.
When nominating reasons must be given for each nomination from the POV of the character and their experience within the house.
People can write as much or as little as they wish.
No double posts UNLESS 30 minutes has elapsed since your previous post without reply.
If the thread has been inactive for 1 hour or more you can specify where other characters are (i.e rooms) but not anything more expansive.
Not every post has to carry on directly from the last, it could involve characters in a separate part of the house, but this must be stated.
You must only post as your character unless given permission by the handler of any other character used. (I will use my commons sense with this, for instance if you have someone follow you to another room to talk in 'private' thats fine as millions of posts saying X followed Y would just be dull (but remember nothing is 'private' and must be aired)
People can post jointly if they wish, but this must be stated either at the start or the end of the post.
There will be no writing of physical fights. Sure the occasionally heated encounter, maybe pull apart arguments (if both handlers are in on it) but seriously, writing your character being all awesome at fighting is hella dull, so lets not yeah?
Occasionally a TV will work to show the house-mates footage The House wishes them to see. This may include select parts of Synergy, but this will be stated within the Live Feed. otherwise those in the house should have no idea what is going on outside.
As this is a new endeavour new rules and modifications to rules may be made as we learn more about how this will work. After the show starts however I will post explanations about why and open up discussion if needed.
NEW: If you are planning to reply to a post 'Reserve' the spot for a short time by replying to it with a $. (This is to avoid confusion of people posting at the same time and contradicting one another) This will then tell everyone that someone is planning to post, and who that is. People can then know to wait for that reply so as not to have mass confusion and contradictions, and then reserve the next if they have a response, or even contact the person who has reserved the post in case you can collaborate ideas. (Don't abuse the system and try to make sure you post within 10 minutes, or your reservation may be deleted)
Signing Up
Each handler can have ONE character in the house, however this does NOT have to be their main character.
To sign up please PM me by the end of the day on Sunday May 3rd so that I can review and have a final list ready for the Tuesday.
