Using the pattern
Designing Individual Penalties largely resembles designing Penalties in general but avoiding directly affecting other players (i.e. avoiding making them into Shared Penalties). This can however become a somewhat blurred when affected players belong to Alliances or Teams.
The specific effects of Individual Penalties can be the same as for Penalties in general. However, Downtime and Player Elimination directly affect specific players and thereby are individual in their nature. While the effects of Individual Penalties apply only to one players, other players can become involved in it by using Player-Decided Distributions, either to decide which player should receive the Individual Penalties or to decide the specific effects of the Individual Penalties.
