RULES OF THE HUNT " Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and, if needs be, taken by the strong. The weak of the world were put here to give the strong pleasure. I am strong. Why should I not use my gift? If I wish to hunt, why should I not? " Welcome to the Hunt. All guests are expected to read and understand these rules, but help will not be provided. THE BASICS Each night, The General will pick a target to hunt. The prey may group together or even run, but The General and his Foxhounds have never lost their prey. As such, it is not recommended to keep in groups or to run, since both present significant danger for a messier death. Yet still, it is not fair for The General to simply hunt wild game, for it possesses no challenge. To assist the guests of the island in surviving, additional roles have been created so that the Hunt does not become a simple, brutish massacre. The ideal quarry must have courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason. ADDITIONAL ROLES Foxes are tasked with finding out their fellow guests' alliances. Every night, they may pick a guest and learn their alignment. Rainsford is tasked with protecting the guests. Every night, they may pick a guest, and if The General pursues that person, then the Hunt will fail. However, in the interest of cunning, these are the only roles recorded as absolutes. Other roles may or may not exist for the Hunt, since it is dependent on the character of each Hunt whether these additional roles are needed. VOTING Each day over a formal dinner, the guests may vote over who they think the killer is. They may vote, and the majority will rule. Abstaining from voting is a choice in itself, but it is not recommended, and the Overseer may discourage this action as they wish. The Overseer also has the ability to overrule the guests' decision once during the duration of the game. The person who is chosen by this majority will be executed. The Hunt will end when either The General has been killed or when The General has no more viable prey to hunt.
