Rules and Tips

Basic Survivor Rules
1. The game starts out with multiple (usually 2) tribes. These tribes compete together in challenges, with the winning tribe getting immunity and the losing tribe going to tribal council.

2. At tribal council, each member of the tribe will vote for another member. The tribe member with the most vote will be eliminated.

3. Self voting is not allowed (usually)

4. In the event of a tie at tribal council, all non-tied contestants revote (this is important, as ties can occur between 3 or more players). If a tie occurs again, the tied players become immune and all non-immune players draw rocks. One player will be eliminated at random.

5. In a final 4 tie, tied players will go to a special tiebreaker challenge instead of drawing rocks. This doesn't apply in a final 4 on one tribe before the merge.

6. At some point, the tribes will merge into one big tribe. After this happens, contestants will compete instead for individual immunity, and everyone will go to tribal council. The player who wins individual immunity cannot be voted out.

7. At some point, eliminated contestants will join the jury instead of being just eliminated. At the end of the game, jury members will vote between the final 2 or 3 contestants to determine the winner. The player with the most votes wins the game.

Survivor Tips

 * Survivor is a social game at heart. If you want to do well, you'll need to talk to people. PM people and see if you think they'd make good allies. Even if you don't know people, they still might want to work with you.
 * Forming alliances is a big part of the game. Having a good group of people ensures you don't get voted out for a while. A majority alliance is even better.
 * Actively participating in team challenges will make your team like you, and not want to vote you out as much.
 * If you want to vote someone out but think they have an idol, you can try splitting the votes between them and someone else you want to be eliminated.
 * Betraying allies can help you get in a better position, but it can also leave them angry, losing their jury vote. However, you don't want to be at the end with someone who is universally liked and respected.
 * Make sure your first goal is to win!
