1) Participating
In previous seasons, a lot of people were inactive, and there wasn't a punishment. Contestants would just have to vote you off. Since we are trying to revolutionize CPSkool, we have decided to introduce a little something we call strikes.
This season, we have a three strike system, but we decided to give a little more leeway to not showing up. You will have 3 strikes, but if you miss one more challenge after that, then you will be the eliminated player that week, and everyone else is safe.
For participating, you will earn a ticket. It may not seem like much, but it really does add up over time.
2) Tickets/Souvenirs
Tickets are basically like the coconuts from Season 4, except this time around, you actually get to spend them. Every week, there's a possibility of winning a lot or a little amount, but either way, it can really help you in the long run when you need to get souvenirs.
At the bottom of the site, you will notice there is a Souvenir Shop. Thanks to the amazing effort of Sand Flipper, our Flash Designer and Shopkeeper, you are able to flip through a catalog of amazing items such as stuffed pandas and snowglobes that you are able to own using tickets.
You should be economical with your souvenirs. You can only buy souvenirs from Monday to Friday. You can use a souvenir at certain times depending on the souvenir. For example, you have to give us your T-shirt (Week Off Pass) before the challenge.
SOMETHING WORTH NOTING: The hat can be used on another person (the hat gives you the opportunity to take one vote off in an elimination). If Person A is in an alliance with Person B and they know that Person B is in danger of being eliminated, Person A could spend their tickets on the hat, and they can tell us that they want to use it on their friend.
There is a chance we may add more souvenirs over time.
3) Challenges
We're finally discussing what gameshows are about after all this time.
Every Saturday night, we will hold a challenge usually held on http://xat.com/cpskool or some other chat. The challenges have already been planned out, so don't worry about random improvised challenges like the previous 4 seasons.
If you are a non-competitor, please DON'T continuously ask us stuff like "What is going on?" and "What is this challenge about?" If you keep pestering us, you will be kicked.
After challenges, we will start to work on the challenge post. Please don't rush us, you'll have plenty of time to vote. We need to have time for the description of what happened during the challenge and time for Mat and I to make the graphics.
4) Elimination
Elimination is the notorious part of a gameshow. Slash320 went through an emotional breakdown when he got voted off, but to be honest, he was already a little off in the head to begin with.
You have until around 5:50 PM Eastern Standard Time (go here to see Time Zones) to send in your vote. After that, the CPSkool Forever crew will look over the results, and Mat will write a story about the elimination.
The eliminations are basically the same as the previous seasons.
