Hello Castaways, and congratulations on making this season of Big Brother Talk: Survivor! I am and hope you all are looking forward to this season!
For the first week of the season, we are going to start off slow and easy. This week will not have any challenges or other events (except for premiere night on Saturday). This week is solely made for everyone to get acquainted with each other and the board. Feel free to chat with your fellow Castaways in the Chat board and share your thoughts in your Confessional.
As for your Confessionals, I'd ask that you post in them at least once daily. I will give you some thoughts as to what to discuss periodically. These will be located in the Discussion Topics board. You will also use your Confessionals for casting votes and some challenges. But please post your thoughts about the game at least once a day.
You will find that the more you communicate with your fellow Castaways, the better off you will be. I know from experience that the first Castaways to be voted out are always the ones that do not talk as much. Don't fall into that trap! To help you communicate even more, I have posted everyone's YIM screen names below. If there is a change to your ID, please post the change in this thread. If you do not sign on YIM that much, please do so for the sake of the game. I will try to hold chat sessions on nights that we do not have anything planned gamewise. Challenges (including premiere night) may also be played in a YIM chat room as well.

Any announcements regarding the game will be posted in the FYI board. Please check this board every so often for info regarding the game. I will also post this information in the News Fader, so you can see it there as well.
To help keep everyone up to date, I will post each week's schedule in the Schedule board. (When I say "week," I mean the events leading to each Castaway's elimination. Each week will last about 3-4 days.)
Don't forget that premiere night (this Saturday at 8:00 PM) is mandatory. If you cannot make it, then you cannot be in this season's cast. Please let me know if you cannot make it so I can find a replacement promptly.
I believe I have covered everything! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask me. Let's make it a great season!
