I think you are going to regret some of your decisions, but hey, GL. My friendly advice to you is to really think long and hard about ways people might try to beat the system (ie, collusion from players not in the league) and try your best to prevent it up front. That's just the smart way to go about doing things and save yourself the headaches later on.

Also, do you think people are going to be comfortable with you being the only one knowing how you are going to reward hidden immunities? I mean, when your friend Cali legitimately gets it the first week, don't you think anyone is going to think something fishy was going on? I'm just suggesting you simplify things to cover your own ass, but again, it's your deal, so do whatever you want.

9:15 PM on what day of the week?

Last comment, regarding this:

"A nice showing does no good in the game of Survivor... you have to win."

Yes, your TEAM has to win. If one person on the team does well and everyone else sucks, the team still loses and has to vote someone out. Think about it.

Also, assuming you do go with the individul winner's team having immunity thing, how does that work for everyone else (assuming more than 2 teams)? Do they ALL vote, or does just one of the losing teams vote (like in Survivor)?

You really need to work out these details.

Collusion from people not in the league? How? Doesn't make sense to me...
There are two and I am pretty sure there will be no arguments about them
Tuesday
A team could play great and be screwed over by a single person who can't hold their breath for 20 seconds to dive down and get a key... winning is everything.
I'm well aware that you guys don't know me from Adam. the details are all worked out

This looks fun, and I'd probably join in, except 3:15 Hawaiian time on Tuesdays won't work for me.

Example: Down to 6 players, my alliance/team/whatever is down to just me and I'm on the ropes. So I leak the password and 4 of my buddies show up and we collude so I win the tourney and get immunity.

This is an extreme example that would be obvious to spot, but surely you can see how ANYONE playing who isn't supposed to be is a problem.

Moreover, what's to prevent my "alliance" from getting on AIM and sharing our hole cards with each other?

The more I think about it, the more I think this might not work.

But I'm glad you are confident.

Thats kinda silly
If you are like most forums then I would imagine you have members who become very good friends. You also hold your own private tournaments if I'm not mistaken. What is to stop your members from getting on AIM and sharing info during your forums games? At some point, especially with something like this which is designed to be fun, you just have to trust that people are honest.
How can you trust your members in private TP games but not in something like this? It isn't like we are talking about alot of money here...
I certainly am... I'm not one to focus on the negative

Because they belong to your forum? Aside from that, what is it that makes them any different from the majority of members at other forums?

If you want to assume the non-TP members involved in this are crooked and looking for ways to cheat thats fine. Something tells me the TP members who end up playing this won't be thinking along the same lines
