Hey Guys,

I will be starting your individual jury threads on Friday night after the Opening Statements are due. Feel free to begin drafting up your speeches now so you are ready to post. (In fact, you should do that, feel free to use your confessionals)

There are a couple of ground rules here.

#1. You cannot ask for really long lists of answers, ie: Give us an example of why you love each juror, Go through every player in the game and write a paragraph on their games, etc... Keep in mind there are ten jurors and these guys have to answer each of them in-depth.

#2. Once you post your statements/questions you cannot ask further questions or statements. If at all possible, try to keep it to your opening speech and questions and then a "thank you" after they have answered. You will have the 90 minute live tribal on Sunday to cross-examine and ask further questions.

#3. Your deadline to submit your jury questions/statements is Saturday at 8c/9e pm. Once you post in your thread, I'll ask that you just make one post with your questions/statements to each of the final three if you have any, so please edit that post to exactly how you want it ahead of time. You have 24 hours to do that now so I recommend starting now :)

#4. You are allowed to tell the other jurors what questions you have just in case someone asks the same thing you want to.

#5. Please do not actively try to influence the other jurors here at ponderosa. You can argue the pros and cons of each point or critique their responses, but remember this is an individual vote and you should vote based on YOUR experience, not groupthink.

#6. You should leave a prevote in your confessionals, you can always change it up until the day it is due, but we like to have it just in case someone ghosts on the last day as has happened in the past. So please do that now.

I'm tempted to put your cowboy hat on him, that's too perfect.

Alright, I have made your threads, you can begin posting your questions/statements to the jury. Try to keep it to the one question/statement you make and allow some rebuttal time for Sunday's live tribal.

Was one of my confessional posts considered a short statement? Will try to keep it to that length to make it easy on them.

It can be as long or short as you like, I'm more referring to what you're asking of them. IE: Don't ask them 500 things, don't keep asking them questions after they've answered, don't ask for like a rundown of every interaction they've had with every player in the game. A lot of people ask "What is your experience with each juror and how would you describe them" and then it's like... a novella that they answer for each player. That kinda thing to avoid.
