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.
