ROUND SEVEN ~ MONORAIL

CHATROOM-BASED - CLOSED BTSC

In Monorail, you will take turns putting down track tiles to complete a circle line that departs from the train station and arrives back at the train station. There will be two train station tiles with incomplete tracks on both sides. The two elimination candidates will take turns to put down 16 track tiles to complete a single circle line. The 16 track tiles consist of two sides. The front side shows a straight line, while the back side shows a bend. Beginning with the starting player, each player will put down 1 to 3 tiles during their turn. You may put down any side of a tile, but it must be placed so that it is touching the top, bottom, left, or right side of the already placed tiles. However, tracks do not always have to be connected. If you put down more than one tile at once, they must also be placed in a single line. There is no need to use all 16 tiles to complete the track, but all the tracks that are used must end up connected. You will take turns to place down tiles, and the player who manages to finish the track wins. However, there is another way to win Monorail other than completing the track. If you judge that the track cannot be completed with the currently remaining tiles, you may declare that it is impossible. If a player declares that it is impossible, the opponent must use the remaining tiles to complete the track. If they complete the track with the remaining tiles, the player who completed it will win. If they fail, the other player will win.

To play, [mention]M Plus 7[/mention] should click on the above link, start a new game, enter their username, and PM their opponent a link to the match. When someone wins, they must screenshot their “winning screen” and PM me an image of it. That person will proceed to the next Round, and their opponent will be eliminated.

I'd suggest that both M Plus 7 and [mention]Long Con[/mention] coordinate a window of time where they can both play together on the website. I'd expect the game to take 20-30 minutes to complete.

Sorry for the delay. My schedule is flexible the rest of the day as well, starting in like a half hour or so.

If I lose, I'll feel slightly better about it now losing to someone with perfect Simpsons reference timing.

I'm not sure. This is a cool but somewhat challenging game, at least in my assessment. Hopefully not, but if I do, best of luck. :beer:

M PLUS 7 WINS

Congratulations M Plus 7, you will advance to Round 8 of The Genius. Long Con, 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.

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

BTSC is now open for everyone.

Round Eight's Main Match, Investment And Donation, will begin shortly.

Only bummer about this match was the lack of a space for spectators.
