The Syndicate

The Round One Death Match will be played by [mention]Epignosis[/mention] and [mention]speedchuck[/mention].

As of now, they are both under BTSC lockdown. No one else can contact them via PM or other methods, and they can't contact anyone else. The other 11 players still enjoy Open BTSC.

The Death Match will be posted shortly.

The panel of winners has unanimously chosen an Elimination Candidate:

[mention]Epignosis[/mention]

Epignosis, please publicly choose one of the following players to compete against in the Death Match:

[mention]Spacedaisy[/mention]
[mention]Scotty[/mention]
[mention]Speedchuck[/mention]
[mention]Sprityo[/mention]
[mention]M Plus 7[/mention]
[mention]Long Con[/mention]
[mention]DisgruntledPorcupine[/mention]

The loser of the Death Match will be eliminated from The Genius, and the winner will steal their Garnets.

Garnets are transferable. To give a Garnet to someone else, you just have to PM me saying so.

FOOD CHAIN RESULTS

After collecting everyone's Round 4 environment choices, I realized that the outcome of this Main Match was already decided, and that no mechanics could alter it. So, instead of making the 5 living players sit around in chatrooms twiddling their thumbs for 24 hours, I decided to end the game. The winners of Food Chain are as follows:

[mention]DharmaHelper[/mention] - Bunny
[mention]Lunalee[/mention] - Otter
[mention]EdJou[/mention] - Eagle
[mention]Golden[/mention] - Chameleon
[mention]nutella[/mention] - Hyena

These five players have all received a Garnet and a Token of Life, meaning that none of them can be chosen to go to the Death Match. They also get to decide the Elimination Candidate out of the following losing players:

[mention]Spacedaisy[/mention] - Snake
[mention]Scotty[/mention] - Lion
[mention]Epignosis[/mention] - Egyptian Plover
[mention]speedchuck[/mention] - Crow
[mention]sprityo[/mention] - Deer
[mention]M Plus 7[/mention] - Mallard
[mention]Long Con[/mention] - Crocodile
[mention]DisgruntledPorcupine[/mention] - Rat

The Elimination Candidate will choose one other fellow losing player to face off against in the Death Match. As the name might imply, the loser of a Death Match is eliminated from the game.

The winning players will have 24 hours to deliberate in a private chatroom and to cast their votes for who they want to be the Elimination Candidate. Ties will be randomly broken.

During these 24 hours, BTSC is open. Anyone can PM anyone else about the game. Also, you can now post in this thread again.

Here are the detailed results of Food Chain:

You can transfer your Garnets to another person simply by PM'ing me.

You cannot eat Garnets.

It's even funnier because I pictured the host saying that in his muffled voice and in Korean.

I love how utterly random and bizarre the "host" of The Genius is. It's like, at some point, they considered hiring someone, then said screw it and just made it a mannequin with facial bandages. There's never any attempts at explanation or context. Even the contestants never really seem to question or comment on it, only just cheerfully referring to him as "Bandage Man."

They can engage in BTSC with other dead players, but they cannot contact any living players, or post in the game thread.
Does this rule mean that if I die I can come back as a ‘sponsor’ ala hunger games and give info to players i want to help win?

Sounds kinda like a popularity contest to me

No. When you die in this Match, you can only have contact with other dead players. This prevents you from giving living players information that might influence the game.

Second person to BTSC me gets to know my actions. (If I'm allowed to do that)
Third person gets NOTHING

You can tell people about your role and actions. You can also lie about your role and actions. You cannot screenshot my PM’s to you or CC anyone else in your PM’s to me.

Sure, if any spectators want to view the chat rooms, they can contact me for access. However, I’d ask that they not engage with the players about the game.

Season 2, Episode 1.

If a player dies, I will post in this thread: "SoAndSo has been killed."

Everything else will remain private, unless a player in a future round decides to relay it. Of course, they're under no obligation to tell the truth about what occurred in their past environments.
So we won’t know who has gone where except in our own environment?

That's correct.

Also, for the record, if you fail to submit an environment for a round, you die.

I'd also like to give the option of pre-selecting environments in advance for future rounds, if you know you will not be available.

Nothing happens. The same would occur if, say, a prey animal attacked another prey animal.
What about if a prey animal attacked the snake? Still nothing because the prey animal can't actually attack?

Anyone that attacks the snake dies regardless of rank. So, a prey animal would die if it attacked the snake.

Does Day One mean Round One?

No. Sorry for the confusing nomenclature. BTSC is currently open until 7PM tomorrow, when everyone will go into their chosen "environments." Of the five days that comprise the Food Chain Match, the first day has Open BTSC, and the second, third, fourth, and fifth, when people are in enviornmental chatrooms, have Closed BTSC.

Long Con wrote: ↑Wed Apr 25, 2018 8:57 pm Is it legit to, like hash out and talk about the rules of the game as we begin? Or am I supposed to just shut up and scheme?

There are certainly no rules against talking about the rules of the game, if that's what you're asking.

Players should have received their animal roles. Each player needs to PM me with the player(s) they have chosen to “peek” at, and the environment they would like to reside in during Round 1. These PM’s are due in 24 hours, at which point Round 1 will begin. The results of “peeks” will be given to players when Round 1 begins.

You may now post.

Welcome to the Genius.

To begin the game, each player will be given a single Garnet. Garnets are the currency of The Genius, and are earned by winning Main Matches or Death Matches. Garnets are transferable, and can be a valuable tool in making deals and alliances with other players. Having a large amount of Garnets means that you will be able to gain an edge in many of the Matches. Before and after each Match, I will reveal every player's Garnet count.

[mention]Golden[/mention] - ONE GARNET

[mention]Spacedaisy[/mention] - ONE GARNET

[mention]Nutella[/mention] - ONE GARNET

[mention]Dharmahelper[/mention] - ONE GARNET

FIVE DAYS - OPEN BTSC DAY ONE, CLOSED BTSC DAYS 2-5

The predator-prey interaction of 13 animals is shown in a food chain. Higher level animals can attack a lower level animal and feed on them. Each player will be randomly assigned an animal, and if you meet that animal’s win condition, you win the game. The win conditions are different for each animal. Before the game begins, you can choose one player, and you may peek at what animal that player is.

The game consists of four rounds. When a round begins, players choose to move to either the River, the Sky, the Field, or the Forest environments. However, each animal has a main habitat, and if they spend a round outside of their main habitat, they must return to their main habitat in the next round. After moving, players may attack any animals in the same area. If the target is a lower level animal, the attack is successful, and the target is eaten. However, if the target is on the same level, nothing will happen. Attacks are carried out by publicly stating in the location’s chatroom that you wish to attack someone. Attacks are only known to the players in the same area.

Each “environment” consists of an online chatroom. Players in environments may not engage in BTSC or post in the thread. Once you leave an environment, you may not return to its chatroom. When a player is eaten, their death will be announced in the thread, and they will be removed from the chatroom. They can engage in BTSC with other dead players, but they cannot contact any living players, or post in the game thread.

After Round 4 ends, the animal identities of each player will be revealed, as well as the people who managed to fulfill their win conditions. The winners will all receive a Garnet and a Token of Life. They also get to choose one of the losers to become the elimination candidate. They have 24 hours to come to a unanimous decision. If they cannot do so, the elimination candidate will be decided by voting. Ties will be broken by a coin toss.
