Create a new rule called “Tokens”
There exists a GNDT column called tokens. The valid values of it are 0 and any positive integer. A contestant who is “out” may not have any tokens. If a new contestant joins the game, they start with 1 token. Tokens may be spent on actions defined by subrules of this rule at any time. To spend them the contestant must create a post in blognomic stating the amount being spent and the action taken. They must then reduce their number of tokens by the specified amount. A contestant may reduce their own tokens to any legal value and increase another contestants tokens by the same amount.
Create a subrule “Immunity”
By spending X + 1 tokens, a selected contestant may not have his status changed to out for 24X hours.
Create a subrule “Welcoming back”
By spending 5 tokens, a selected contestant with a status of out may have his status changed to in.
Give everyone 1 token.

I think the rule doesn’t work… if a “contestant who is “out” may not have any tokens.” -how does an “out” contestant gain tokens in order to spend them to become “in” again?
Quazie:
Against for the broken, not for the idea itself.

To answer everything in turn:
Yes, 24X means 24 times X.
Tokens would be gained in challenges but since there’s no rules for them, there isn’t rules for gaining tokens yet.
An out contestant can’t get tokens but his allies can. You can use an action on anyone, even an out contestant.
Yoda:
Ah, so either of these actions can be used on someone else, creating a system of alliances.
