ROUND ONE ♈ FOOD CHAIN

[Tangrowth]

@insertnamehere At what point are we allowed to give away our Garnets? Follow up question, are we just cool to eat the garnets now? Chomp into these big juicy stones? Munch on these good good currencies?

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."

I know, LOL, it's amazing. I love it.

[DisgruntledPorcupine]

I should actually watch this show. I never really watch TV shows but it seems fun.

[DharmaHelper]

'Bout an hour left of backroom dealing.

Seriously worth it.

[DharmaHelper]

Oh BT-Dubs if I ever (LOL) lose a competition an end up in a death match I'm going to choose my opponent based on how long it takes people to give me garnets. So.

I’m going to pick my opponents based on who I think I can beat. If you pick someone who beats you cos they didn’t give you garnets that’s on you. They’ll get all the garnets you took!

ROUND ONE OF FOOD CHAIN HAS BEGUN.

Please refrain from posting in this thread or engaging in BTSC with other players.

Everyone should have received a PM with a link to their chosen environment's chatroom. Please feel free to converse about the game and/or attack each other in these chatrooms.

When a player is killed, I will post a statement declaring so in this thread. Some of these updates may be a little late due to me needing to sleep and work and whatnot.

Players also have 24 hours to send me a PM with the environment they'd like to visit in Round 2. If an animal went somewhere other than its' Main Habitat in Round 1, it must go there in Round 2.

When this post is 24 hours old, Round 1 will end, and Round 2 will start.

Good luck.

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:

[Long Con]

Whoa whoa how did Epignosis get Scotty's garnet?

[insertnamehere]

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

[Long Con]

I'll be more satisfied with Scotty or Epi's answer.

[DharmaHelper]

In Round 2 Epignosis was subservient to Scotty. If I had to guess, Epi's loyalty was worth 1 measly garnet.

[Epignosis]

It was fair. I had no win condition after he ate LC, so I told Scotty I'd tell him everything I knew, travel with him in case he needed a morsel when there was none other available, and bite people to check for snake, all in exchange for his garnet. It was fair business. He said he wanted to bully people out of a garnet or two, so I said what the hell. I didn't have anything better to do.

[Long Con]

Good plan. Shitty luck for Team Croc there.

[DharmaHelper]

[Scotty]

It was definitely a gamble on my part, but being the top of the food chain, I felt I had to be aggressive. I hoped I would be able to get a garnet from either DH or Luna just in case i didn’t make it to the end.

So now I ain’t got nuttin.

Oh, and thanks Golden, for fooling me into thinking you were the snake. The WIFOM was too much to make a reasonable decision, so well played

[Scotty]

Good plan. Shitty luck for Team Croc there.

Taking out both speed and Epi’s win condition at one time was pure bad luck. I really do feel bad I killed you when I did, I just didn’t know what kind of info you had at the time

[speedchuck]

I need to read the role list for these things.

But why me and not one of the other two? What do you have against me? I thought we were generally cool with each other, and as soon as you get a chance, you leave Epignosis and speedchuck alone, but kill me the second you see me.

[nutella]

Sweeeeet Lol well played Golden and Daisy tricking Scotty. Awesome.

He told the R2 River Group that you "barked up the wrong treee" and some other stuff.

I ate two Jordans.

What a pile of crap. I showed up and barely said two words before he ate me.

Well let’s see:
‘I saw the river thread for a sec but can’t talk about it’
Within 5 minutes of coming into thread: ‘why haven’t you eaten anyone yet?’

You had info. Info was everything in that game. I told Epi, and I’m serious in this, that I was thinking to kill him until you showed up and gave the impression that you peeked me. And on top of that, may have known more info than us?

made sense to me at the time.

I was probing for info, I didn't have info.

And I'm not interested in trying to gain an advantage through a Host mistake. I saw a couple of names in the River, I didn't troll for info there.

[Spacedaisy]

He was barely in there for long. I doubt he got much from it and even if he did I doubt he would have abused that.

[Scotty]

If only I could be as innocent as a rabbit and not have to kill anyone...

But I wasn’t. I had to kill someone, of course I’m going to try to use my position as leverage.

Anyway, i got played- well done, winners. i’m a free agent here and no gems to my name. So don’t send me to a death match please.

Don't worry. I'm sure I bought that ticket from you.
