That's right, SEN's most popular forum game before SEN Mafia is back and better than ever. It's been a long hiatus, with a few unsuccessful attempts at restarting the game in the mean time, but Season 7 will prove to be the best season ever.
The premise is simple: Be the last man standing. Contestants are eliminated by voting in polls, as well as special voting powers that are given to contestants that are still in the game. The contestant with the most votes at the end of each round is eliminated. However, strict self-interest is not the only goal. In order to win, you will also have to use teamwork to increase your odds of winning. The contestants will be divided into 2 opposing tribes. The tribes will compete against each other at the start of each round for an immunity prize. The tribe that wins secures immunity from voting for their entire tribe, while the other tribe will end up losing a member. The game ends when one tribe has been completely eliminated. The remaining players in the victorious tribe will evenly divide the jackpot.
JACKPOT AMOUNT: 2,500 Minerals (donations welcome)
In the past, I allowed specific slot numbers or tribal affiliation to be selected by the players. However, for fairness' sake, I will be assigning contestants to the two tribes at random (using random.org) once we have 20 sign-ups. Sign up is 10 minerals. I will add your name once I have the minerals.
The current mini-game model is not set in stone. I would appreciate having a co-host that can help me think up some fun mini-games. Selection of a co-host is strictly up to me, so please prove yourself and the integrity of your ideas first. Hosts (i.e., me) and co-hosts cannot be contestants in the game.

Here are the rules as best I can remember them from Season 5. I've reworked the drop-out rule to prevent exploitation, as was famously done in the second half of Season 5. Please point out any discrepancies you think you see. Suggestions are welcome.
TRIBES AND BASIC RULES
- There will be two tribes consisting of 10 contestants each.
- Contestants are eliminated by being voted out of the game (the most votes in a round = elimination).
- Voting is done via poll. A new poll is created for each tribe for each round.
- There is a 10 mineral sign-up fee, which is non-refundable once the game has started.
- The game will last until one tribe has lost all of its contestants. The remaining members of the victorious tribe will evenly divide the mineral prize.
- In the event that a person is banned from SEN or voluntarily drops out, then the poll will be remade and all votes reset, but the round will continue until someone is voted out of a tribe.
- In the event there is only one person in each of the tribes, then a Special Final Round will be created and the person with the least votes at the end of that round is the winner.
ROUNDS
- Only one member will be voted out of each tribe (that has a poll topic created for them) for each round.
- A round lasts up to 4 days. 24 hours allowed for mini-games, 3 days for voting in the polls.
- In the event of a tie between two or more contestants in the same tribe, a separate poll is made with only the tying contestants.
- Tie breaker rounds last 24 hours.
IMMUNITY
- Tribes will have the chance to win immunity. A tribe that is immune will not have a poll created for them in a round, thereby protecting all members for a single round.
- Only one tribe shall be immune at a time.
- Immunity is attained by winning a mini-game.
- In the event neither tribe wins, both tribes will have polls created for them.
- A tribe shall not be immune more than three times in a row. After three, there will be no mini-game for that round and both tribes will have polls created.
MINI-GAMES
- The first type of mini-game, as well as the mini-game played in the event that neither tribe wins the prior one, is determined randomly. After that, the tribe that lost the previous mini-game selects the nature of the next.
- There are three types of mini-games:
1) Starcraft challenge. There are two subcategories: The first is a simple melee game between a member of each tribe. The victor secures immunity for their tribe. The second is a speed demon challenge. A contestant must beat a single-player mission within a certain time limit. In both cases, a replay must be posted as proof.
2) Trivia challenge. The game host asks a trivia question. The first contestant to correctly answer secures immunity for their tribe.
3) Audience participation. A non-contestant decides which tribe shall be immune for a round.
- In the event of a tie between leading Challenge suggestions, I will randomly determine the challenge from among the leads.
VOTING
- Each vote in a poll counts as a single vote towards a contestant.
- Tribe members have the chance to help or harm each other by using special votes.
- A special vote is only valid if a contestant posts in the appropriate thread (example: I want to remove a vote/add a vote for [CONTESTANT]}
- A contestant has the power to remove a single vote from a contestant that belongs to the same tribe as they do. This is only allowed if they make a post about it in their tribe's poll topic.
- A contestant has the power to add an extra vote to a contestant in an enemy tribe by posting in their opponent's poll topic.
- A contestant has the power to add two extra votes against their own tribe members by posting in their tribe's poll topic.
- A contestant shall only use ONE kind of special vote per round.
- Special voting does not apply in tie-breaker rounds or the Final Round, if there is one.

FINAL ROUND
- The final round commences when one (or both) tribes has been reduced to a single member.
- The last contestant in the losing tribe gets to eliminate one contestant of their choice from the victorious tribe to avenge their fallen allies.
- The final poll will be the surviving members from the victorious tribe and the lone survivor of the losing tribe.
- After the final elimination, the remaining contestants take home an equal portion of the jackpot.
- In the event that both tribes are down to one member at the same time, then the round will forgo the selection of an automatic elimination and go straight to the final poll.
- No special voting in the final round.
