Idol Searching Links

There are two types of idols you know about: pre-merge idols and post-merge idols.

Pre-Merge Cute Immunity Idol
There will be one Cute Idol per tribe, not including the merge tribe.

Each Round during the challenge phase (whether Cuteness Raffle or regular) you will be given the opportunity to search for an idol by spending Cute Points. To do this visit this link: forms.gle/4VUDzpYPRpfsqrAW7. You may search openly or secretly (see below). If you find an idol, you will be told at the start of the Tribal Council phase and it may be used in that TC. Submit your Form 30 minutes before the Challenge Deadline

The cost of searching for an idol in Cute Points and the chance of finding one is as follows:




In the event more than one player is searching for an idol, both cannot find the idol. If the random generation indicated above would have two+ players find the idol, one is chosen randomly to get it and the other will not. It is not revealed when the idol is found.

You may search either Openly or Stealthily. Openly alerts everyone on the tribe that you were searching. Stealthily does not.

The first set of tribes’ (Aviary and Animal Pen) pre-merge idol is good until Final 9. Any subsequent tribes’ Cute Immunity Idol is good until Final 5.

If an idol is used or a player is removed from the game (voted out, medevaced, etc.) and the tribe is still active, the idol is rehidden but the chance of finding the idol is halved (e.g. spending 6 Cute Points to search openly will only have a 10% chance of finding the idol).

Post-merge Idol

There will be a post-merge idol given out, in addition to the previously described “Cute Immunity Idols.” Here’s how it works:

• Beginning with the start of the game, you may, for free, start the timer. You may do this at any point during the game, but choose wisely. You may do this here: forms.gle/uCGyZ8Y7Vum67y7t8. Please note that the time will be set by when you click “Submit” to this form.
  
• Then, for 1 Cute Point each time, you may press the timer via the same form above.
• Your goal is to press the timer as close as you can to the same time of day as your timer start and at least 24 hours after the timer started or was last pressed.
• Any timer press that comes before 24 hours will not count but will still cost 1 Cute Point.
• You can avoid wasting a submission by either trying 48 hours after your last submission or being very careful not to be too early.
• You will NOT be told your submission time or whether your presses counted.
• The time will be based on Google’s time.

The immunity idol will be given out after the first post-merge tribal council (so the first will NOT have the idol in play) in this priority order:

• A player who submits more counted presses than any other player, up to 5 (so 6+ presses will not improve your chance of getting it via this metric).
  
• If two or more players tie for metric 1, the most accurate 5 presses of each player will be counted. Accuracy is determined by the absolute value between the closest START time and each press. The player who is most accurate will get the idol (the lower the time, the better)
• You may submit more than 5 presses, but only the most accurate 5 will count and each press will still cost 1 Cute Point.

Example
Monty decides to start the timer at 11:21:42 on May 20th. He then presses the timer at 11:25:11 on May 21st, again at 11:20:02 on May 22nd, and again at 11:19:05 on May 25th. This would result in:
First Press: Counts, with a time of 3:29 (11:25:11-11:21:42)
Second Press: Does not count because it was within 24 hours of the first press.
Third Press: Counts, with a time of 2:37 (11:21:42-11:19:05). Note that this counts because Monty waited more than 24 hours to press again.
So Monty would have TWO presses and a total accuracy of 6:06. He would win against anyone who has one total press and against anyone who has exactly two presses and a total accuracy that is slower. He would lose to anyone who has exactly two presses and a total accuracy that is higher than his, and he would lose to anyone with three or more presses.



Other Immunity Idols and Advantages

There may be other Immunity Idols and Advantages in the game given.



Using an Idol

To use an Idol and most advantages, say that you are doing so in your decision booth. If you do not indicate who you are playing the idol for, it will be assumed you are playing it for yourself.



Conditional Idols

You may play a conditional idol in two ways:

1. If a player or players you select play an idol, you will play yours.

2. If a player plays an idol on a player you select, you will play yours.



To do this, in your decision booth put:

Conditionally Play my Idol on (myself/_________ player) IF ___________ (plays an idol/has an idol played on them)



For example: Conditionally Play my idol on myself if Monty has an idol played on them.



You may use no more than 3 conditional statements per Tribal Council to keep the moderator’s sanity.



Note: If no idol is unconditionally played, then no conditional idols will be triggered.



Giving Idols or Other Advantages to Other Players

Unless the idol or other advantage says otherwise, all idols may be given to another player in the same tribe by informing the mod in the decision booth that you are giving the idol or other advantage away. Idols given to another player are received at the start of the next TC. In other words, you cannot give an idol while in the same Tribal Council as the recipient receives it. Take note that this is different than many other games!



You may still PLAY your idol for someone else's benefit at any time before the deadline. This rule is only about giving the idol to another player
