Episode 00 - **What's This?**

This, may be the most important place in the game. It's where you will vote and more importantly, talk to us! Feel free to divulge your darkest secrets, current strategies, alliances, and hell... just pure hatred for other players. You are the only player that can view this forum. Outside of Alumni and Hosts, it is completely private. We love getting the dirt and there are plenty of us here to ask you questions. As you can see, this thread is labelled "Episode 00". Each round (meaning challenge + council) we will start a new thread with the title of each episode. After every Tribal Council, a host will start a new thread asking you more questions. Again, this is your forum and you can feel free to start whatever topics or make whatever posts you like. We will be here to help you out, make you think, get you to talk and really just lend an ear.

We take confessionals seriously because we're genuinely interested in your story. We want to know everything you're thinking and more importantly, what you're feeling. Think of it as free therapy. But more importantly, we will be guiding you along the way and asking you questions. Provoking thought and helping you think about things you otherwise might not have. We find, just talking through your situation can help you get a fresh perspective on things.

Beyond that, it's just fun. What's more fun is having a record of what you were thinking at different stages of the game, and being able to look back on that is priceless so take advantage of it!

Here is a practice mini-challenge for you to work on. It is a challenge that might appear once or twice throughout the season in a different form. Image posting is something that will pop up in multiple challenges and is a skill that you should perfect. Please refer to the guide in the Camp forum for detailed instruction on how to post images.

This particular challenge is a 4x4 16-piece puzzle. You must correctly unscramble the puzzle using the ORIGINAL image links. Meaning, you can't simply rearrange them in a photo editing program. You must use the original images by using the IMG tag. (more information on this in the camp how-to threads.

Good luck, please ask us for any help or further instructions :)

I'm super excited for this game, and I'm hoping that me not being here the first day and a half won't end up sending me out early. I will win every challenge and make myself known as a god amongst lesser gods.

Jess, the game hasn't started yet. It starts Thursday.

You're here now just to get used to the forums, read the rules and so on.

I'm aware it hasn't started. I am just getting myself set-up and warmed up. Sorry if I seem really active...I'm beyond excited for this game to begin. I've already added everyone to my friends list.

OH My bad, you meant when it started.

Being active is a good thing, no worries there :D .

In case anyone happens by this post, I have a question.

Because of my job, I will have very limited time and communication with the game the first and second days. What is my best course of action when it comes to approaching the game and ensuring some sort of strategic position?

Just be as social as you can be. Quality of messages is important and it's not impossible to come off as likable in a short amount of time.

Full disclosure (this phrase is being overused lately) the first day is kind of just a formality. Yes, you will get to talk to your tribe and get to know them and there may even be some alliances formed right away, but it's normally not super solid on the first day. As long as you poke your head in and let them know that you will have to miss that night and friday night but will be there and super active afterwards, it should not be a big deal.
