BIRD WATCH
As you spend time in the island of Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands, you will notice the island is populated by a great number and variety of birds. Mallorca has long been known as one of the best places in the Mediterranean Sea for bird watching. Bird watching enthusiasts flock to the island every year for the chance to get a glimpse of their favorite birds. If you're lucky enough to spend more than a few days in Mallorca, you too will be able to see the great birds of the island.
With this in mind, Production has decided to gift each player a small birdcage and a pair of binoculars. Whenever you have some downtime and would like to go on a walk, we encourage you to take your birdcage and binoculars with you - you never know which birds you might encounter on your walks around the beach and might want to capture in your birdcage. The old Mallorcan stories say that when you combine the right birds together they can unlock secret powers - maybe you should give it a try.
A couple of rules you will need to follow when it comes to Bird Watching:
1. Each cage holds a maximum of two birds. If you want to capture a third bird, you will have to release one of the birds in your cage. If you want to have more than two birds in your possession, you will need someone else to give you their cage. Please note that cages can only be transferred when they are empty, thus, if someone wants to give you their cage, they have to release all the birds in it first. Exchanges of cages are secret and will not be made public.
2. You can only go bird watching when the birds are out. Every day production will announce when the birds are out and you can go bird watching. At the end of the day production will announce when the birds have all gone to sleep and no more bird watching can take place that day.
3. In order to go bird watching and capture a bird, you will have to physically leave camp. This means you cannot communicate with anyone on your tribe for three hours. This includes communication via the tribe chat, alliance or group chats, one on one chats, and video calls. You will also not be able to post on proboards during this 3 hour window. When you go bird watching, production will announce this on your tribe's chat (Marcus has gone bird watching!). Only two people from each tribe may be bird watching at the same time.
4. While you're bird watching, you will be given a list of birds that are currently out and about and you will pick which one you want to capture. You will only be able to capture one bird each time you go bird watching. This means that in order to have two birds in your cage you will have to leave camp twice.
5. When you return to camp from bird watching, production will announce it to the tribe (Marcus has returned with a Robin bird!).
6. If you ever release a bird, this too will be announced to the tribe (Marcus has released a Robin from his cage!). You do not have to be out bird watching to release a bird.
7. After the first round of the game, players will only be allowed to go bird watching if they have submitted their two confessionals for the previous round.
8. In order to unlock a power, you need the right combination of birds in your POSSESSION, not necessarily in the same cage. If you have released a bird, it is no longer in your possession. You will also not be told whether the combination you have has already unlocked a power, you will only be told if you unlocked a power.
9. In order to go bird watching, release a bird, or lend your cage to someone else, please message your production chat. Your 3 hours will begin when production announces to your tribe that you have gone bird watching.
10. You cannot go bird watching right after you get back. You have to have been back at camp for at least one hour before you can go bird watching again.
If you have any questions, please ask a member of production.
Happy Bird Watching!
