The game will play out like a season of BBUS.
Each week, the housemates compete for HoH. The HoH gets their own private bedroom as well as the responsibility of nominating two housemates for eviction. You cannot be HoH in back to back weeks.
In seasons past, a weekly Have/Have Not Competition took place after the HoH Competition. This season, this is no more! Instead, the housemates will compete in a weekly House Next Door Competition (abbreviated to HND). The winner of the HND Comp will choose one housemate to move into the abandoned house next door for the entire week. They can choose themselves, but do not have to. They cannot choose the HoH. The isolated housemate will be ineligible to compete in any further competitions that week or cast an eviction vote, but will be immune from nomination and eviction for the week. In addition, the chosen housemate will receive a clue to the hidden location of a secret power in the house next door that could change the game.
The HND Comp winner will also choose a specified number of housemates to become Have Nots for the week. The housemate sent to the HND cannot be selected as a have not. The Have Nots for the week will be forced to sleep in the Have Not bedroom, be re-assigned to the hideous Have Not forum skin, and be given a disadvantage in that week's PoV competition (if they compete).
After the nomination ceremony, it's time for the PoV Drawings. The Drawings are randomly made using dice rolling on AIM. One of the hosts will conduct the drawings on AIM and invite any players from the game they see online as witnesses to the random drawing. The HoH, the two nominees, and three housemates picked by random draw compete for PoV. There is one "Housemate's Choice" available. If you pick this, you can select who competes in the competition.
The winner of the PoV can choose to save one of the nominees, or leave the nominations the same. If one of the nominees is removed from the block, the HoH must name a replacement nominee. The saved nominee and PoV holder cannot be nominated.
After the PoV Ceremony, it's time to vote. The HoH and nominees cannot vote, but in the case of a tie, it's up to the HoH to decide who leaves the BBCharm house.
Many competitions/evictions will be live and take place around 6-10PM EST (exact time will usually be determined by a poll), so keep that in mind before applying. There will also be non-live but AIM session based comps.
You are expected to keep an active confessional in your DR. Create a new thread for each Episode and post everything pertaining to that episode in that thread, including BOTH confessionals AND aim convos. Please ensure your AIM conversations are being logged before the game begins, so you will be able to post them in your DRs even if you forget to do so immediately after the conversation takes place.
If you do not write at least one DR per round, you will be ineligible to compete in the following week's HoH competition. The same applies for failure to vote.
Remember, we are writing episodes for this game, so we really do need your help in ensuring that they can be as accurate and as entertaining as possible. To do this, you MUST be dedicated to your DR!
You can also IM either of the hosts at any time for a live DR session. If you have troubling writing DRs on your own, this is perfect for you. We will ask you questions about the game and you can respond on the spot. We will then ask follow up questions to strain out all the info we need for the eps.
