Hi! I really like your idea of Inverted Survivor. I'm interested in how it works, and there's some points that I don't think are clarified enough by the rules that I'd like to hear your point of view about. I apologize for the super long message, by the way.

1- For example, let's say there's a 4-3-2 vote with the person receiving 3 votes playing a HII, effectively making it 4-2-0. In this case, does this person still counts as the secondary vote, and becomes the person voted out in the inverted season? I'm assuming the answer is yes, but I'm asking to be sure.

2- About revotes, what happens when for example there's a 3-3-3 tie, and on the revote it's something like 4-2-0, and the person eventually voted out voted for the person who did not receive votes in the revote? Who gets voted out in the inverted version, the contestant that the person voted out voted for, or the one who received votes in the revote? I guess it depends on whether you favor the initial vote or the revote.

3- And for an event like Mike's elimination in season 35 when an idol play causes a tie, I'm guessing the person who played the idol becomes the primary vote, while the one voted out on the revote becomes the secondary vote (even if it was technically a tie on the first vote and the person playing the idol didn't necessarily vote for them), is that right?

4- How do you handle a case like Wes's elimination in San Juan del Sur? Jon gets voted out in the inverted version, but who becomes the secondary vote? Wes because he was voted out in reality, or Keith because he received more votes?

5- What about the null votes? In Cambodia, do you use the initial vote (then Jeremy voted out, and secondary vote is either Kelley for receiving votes or Kimmi for being eventually eliminated in reality) or the new vote (then Tasha voted out and Kimmi secondary vote)? And for Game Changers, do you treat Cirie's default elimination as similar to purple rock, or do you use the initial 3-2-1 vote (then Sarah voted out, and secondary vote is either Tai for having second most votes or Cirie for being eliminated in reality)?

6- When there's a firemaking challenge without a vote (Steph/Bobby Jon in Palau, and the new final 4 since season 35), do you also switch the winner and the loser?

7- Speaking of Palau, I guess Jonathan and Wanda will remain unpicked since I don't really see a way of turning it around. Or maybe switch with the ones who were picked last (Willard and Angie), but does it really work with the process of the whole schoolyard pick?

8- For the seasons with Redemption Island, will you also change the results of the duels? It could be a complicated question, because there's also Edge of Extinction, and the Edge of Exctinction challenges are impossible to switch around since it's only first place and the rest. So, for consistency sake, I can see the argument for also keeping the Redemption Island results as they were instead of switching them. And switching the results of Redemption Island challenges with more than 2 people could be complicated since, by your rules, only first and second place are switched.

9- In Blood vs. Water, will you make Gervase take Marissa's place on Redemption Island (since she becomes the person voted out on Day 1 instead of Laura)?

10- And finally for occurences of voted out payers coming back, will you switch the Outcasts vote? Since it's a vote instead of a challenge, I guess it's wouldn't be that much inconsistent to switch it around while the other seasons with players coming back would stay the same. But you made the rules, so you're the one deciding.

11- Speaking of only switching 1st and 2nd place, for seasons with Final Threes, I think the rules mean that you just switch around the winner and 2nd place, while 3rd place remains the same. Is that correct?

And that brings me to the more problematic points to which I couldn't think of a solution:

12- If the Final Three ends with the two runner-ups both taking 2nd place, what happens? The usual tiebreaker can't apply in this case, so who becomes the winner?

13- I don't know if such a situation ever happened in reality (didn't check every season), but let's say there is a 5-2-2-1 vote, and the person voted out was the only one to vote for the person who received 1 vote. The tiebreaker can't apply in that case either, so I don't know what criteria you would use to determine who goes. But then again, I don't know if something like that ever actually happened.
