The Syndicate

Congratulations Dharmahelper, you will advance to Round 3 of The Genius. Sprityo, I'm sorry, but you are eliminated from the competition. You are, however, able to serve as a Surrogate in future games for players unable to be present, and you will get the opportunity to aid one of the two Finalists in Round Twelve.

BTSC is now completely open for all eleven remaining players.

If you wish to send me a confessional/log/whatever for this round, feel free to do so.

You sure that's not reversed, boss? Intel I got was Sprit had 3 that round.

I messed up. I accidentally told you that Sprit had a 3, when he really had a 2. Because of this host screw-up, I'm returning the chips that were won during this round.

So, Hand #6 doesn't count, and DH and Sprityo are entering Hand #7 with 21 and 27 chips respectively, with 2 chips in the pot.

DH had a 3. Sprit has a 2.

HAND #7

DH - 20 chips
Sprit - 28 chips

Pot - 2 chips

DH is the starting player.

Yes.

DH had a 2. Sprit had a 5.

HAND #6

DH - 21 chips
Sprit - 27 chips

Pot - 2 chips

DH had a 9. Sprityo had a 10. Because Sprityo folded with a 10, he must pay an extra 10 chips over to DH.

HAND #5

DH - 28 chips
Sprit - 20 chips

Pot - 2 chips

DH is the starting player.

THREAD-BASED - CLOSED BTSC

Indian Poker is a simple type of poker game, in which the player with the higher card wins. Indian Poker is played with 2 sets of numbered cards, each set ranging from 1 to 10, for a total of 20 cards. The 20 cards will be shuffled, and one card will be given to both players. Instead of knowing the value of their own card, they will be PM’d the number on their opponent’s card. After receiving this information, players will post an ante of 1 chip. Each player starts the game with fifteen chips. Players can also choose to spend a Garnet in order to gain 5 extra chips. The starting player (who will be randomly decided in the first round) begins the betting. After the first round, the position of starting player will alternate between the two players. There is no chip limit for a bet. There’s a time limit of 8 hours for betting, if a player doesn’t bet after that time, their opponent takes the contents of the pot.

There are three choices for betting. First, you can call by betting the same amount as the opponent. This ends the betting, and both player’s cards are revealed. The person with the highest card takes the pot. Second, you can bet more than the previous bet. In this case, betting continues without revealing the cards. Third, you can fold, letting your opponent win the round. However, if a player folds while possessing a card with a value of 10, they must give 10 chips to the opponent as a penalty. If both players have the same card, the chips from that round will remain in the pot for the next round. When a player loses all of their chips, the game will end, and that player will be eliminated.
