 Welcome to Awful Big Brother 2, a forum reality game for 14 players. How does the game work? Each cycle begins with a competition to determine the Head of Household (HOH). All players except the outgoing HOH may compete for this. The HOH nominates two other players for eviction. The two nominees, the HOH, and 3 other randomly chosen players then compete for the Power of Veto. The person who wins the veto has the option to save either of the nominees from eviction. If one of the nominees is vetoed, then the HOH must choose a new player who is not nominated and does not have the Power of Veto to nominate. Then all houseguests vote for one of the two nominees and the person with the most votes is evicted. Immediately following the eviction is a new HOH competition and the cycle begins again. Once there are only two players remaining a jury consisting of the last 7 players to be evicted will vote to decide which of the remaining players is the winner. Challenges will be one of three types: forum based, where you will only need access to the forums; puzzle based, where you may have to go to another website or might need image editing software; or game based, where you’ll go offsite somewhere and play a game which will usually require flash. The type of challenge along with its requirements will be announced at the end of the previous day, but you won’t know the exact challenge until game day. First and foremost though this is a social game where you will be expected to be in communication with your other houseguests on a private and semi-private basis. Not participating in the social aspect will not get you very far. There will be one googledoc or discord channel (whatever the majority prefers) for the entire house, and one for the HOH that are official and viewable by the vista, but any other lines of communication you have with each other is totally up to you! Schedule Unlike the previous ABB, this will be run on a much more condensed schedule in order for the game to last a total of roughly 6 weeks. The game will run on a 3 day cycle and two cycles will be run each week: Day 1 (Sundays and Wednesdays): Eviction and HOH Competition Day 2 (Mondays and Thursdays): Nominations and Veto Competition Day 3 (Tuesdays and Fridays): Veto Meeting Everyone will need to be present for Day 1 and Day 2 for anywhere between 1-2 hours, while only the veto holder and HOH need to be around for Day 3, and only for roughly 5 minutes. Day 1 and Day 2 events will be held between 6 and 10pm EST, depending on the player’s availability. Day 3 event can be held at the HOH and Veto holder’s convenience. In the application please specify your availability. This is a pretty tight schedule, but if it can be kept then the game will last no more than 6 weeks. The planned start for this game will be August 2nd. First HOH Competition will be the next day. Who can apply? For this season I WILL be accepting people who have played one or more forum reality games before. However there is a hierarchy and would prefer to not allow more than one person from each season to participate in order to ensure there are no alliances or rivalries carrying over from previous seasons. The hierarchy is as follows: New Players > People who have played in only one season in one of Awful Survivor, Awful Big Brother, Awful Genius, Popularity Contest, or One Weekend Ultimate Reality Game > People who have played in two or more of the above. This means that if you have never played any of these games before you will have priority over returning players, so sign up if you are new! If you have played before there will likely still be spots so you should sign up too! What can I win?! There will be a $75 prize for the winner and a $25 prize for the runner up. Any attempts to conspire to share, give, buy or bribe another contestant with the prize or items purchased with it (or any other money), is subject to immediate and unilateral disqualification. This is up to my discretion if I think you’re trying to skirt the rules. Don’t try to cheat! What if I just want to be a creeper and watch There will be a Viewer’s Vista for this game. As with other such games, the vista is for people who are not playing and those who were evicted pre-jury phase. In the vista you will have exclusive access to player confessionals, juicy chatlogs, and upcoming twists. If you would like access to the vista, please PM me and I will link it to you. This will obviously make you ineligible to become a player. As always, please keep what’s said in the vista in the vista and do not talk to current players or jurors about the game. If after reading all this you’d like to play, here is the Application Form. Applications will be open until July 31st (hopefully).

I'd post it in the real BB thread in TVIV but I haven't been watching this year, so I'd feel dumb. If anyone does though, they should post it there. Spread the word. It's always good to get new people.
