Elimination

The elimination ceremony (also known as the voting ceremony) is a process that occurs after a challenge has been completed in Outlaster.

Overview
After a team or a player wins a challenge, the elimination ceremony starts after a brief intermission. Here, the losing team is brought to a campfire where they must vote another contestant off their team, and eliminate them from the game. During a merge, all of the contestants are brought to the campfire to vote. If one team out of three wins immunity, the other two teams will each have a separate voting ceremony, unless the host announces there will be a Joint Elimination.

One by one, the host will select a contestant to vote for a player of their choosing anonymously. If the voting ceremony takes place during the merge, the winner of the competition will have safety, and cannot be voted for. When all the contestants have voted, contestants are given the chance to use a safety advantage (previously a Hidden Immunity Idol) or any another item they have found. The host will read all the votes in random order, and any vote against a contestant who has used a safety advantage will not count.

Whichever contestant who has the most votes against them are eliminated, and put into the jury team where they visit the following ceremonies on bleachers. Otherwise if the contestant is eliminated while teams are in place, they are put into the spectators team only. Spectators will not attend the eliminations during the game, but they can attend the finale as part of the audience.

During a tie
A tie occurs when two or more contestants have the same amount of votes against them. Contestants will be opted to vote out one of the contestants within the tie. If another tie occurs in the second tiebreaker, one of the following events will happen:


 * If two players are tied, the tied players will face off in a tiebreaker competition. The winner stays in the game, and the loser is eliminated. If there are 4 players left, there will be no revote, and the tied players will do the competition immediately.
 * If three or more players are tied, the player who will be eliminated is selected randomly from the contestants who are currently tied.
 * Final four competition.png there is a tie between all the non-immune players (everyone has at least one vote), there is no revote and someone is randomly selected for elimination. An example of this could be a pre-merge tribe of 4 players, and every player receives one vote against them.

Double elimination
Double eliminations has a chance to occur at the end of the first elimination. The host will inform the contestants that there is a double elimination and another voting session begins to eliminate another contestant. The contestant who won the previous competition will still be immune. Elimination exits played before the first elimination will also carry over into the second, but safety advantages and vote advantages will not.

Double eliminations can also occur before the merge, when there are three teams. In a certain competition, only the first place team would win safety, and the two losing teams would attend separate Eliminations. Both teams would vote someone out, meaning two players are eliminated the same night.

Joint elimination
Another similar twist is the joint elimination, where only the first place team of a three-team competition wins safety. The two losing teams are sent to the elimination concurrently, and are able to vote for anyone who is attending that elimination (not just someone on their team).

Trivia

 * In the original Survivor game, if there was a deadlock tie, the tied players would become safe and the non-tied and non-immune players would draw rocks (random selection). In Outlaster, the non-tied players don’t have to worry about being eliminated, as only a tied player will be eliminated.
 * The hosts appearance is similar to Jeff from Survivor. He is now wearing a cowboy hat, is now thinner, and has a different shirt. However, he retains the same face from Survivor.
 * The host may have slight avatar variations during seasonal events. During Halloween, the host was green with red eyes and no mouth, and his shirt was torn in some spots to ressemble a zombie. During Holidays, he is wearing a Santa hat and a red shirt.
 * The host no longer says “I’ll go tally the votes” or “The tribe has spoken” at the elimination, due to copyright reasons. This is also why the elimination is no longer called “Tribal Council”.
