The Syndicate

The Round Two Death Match will be played by [mention]DharmaHelper[/mention] and [mention]sprityo[/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 10 players still enjoy Open BTSC.

The Death Match will be posted shortly.

Just to confirm, you're choosing Sprityo?

The panel of winners has unanimously chosen an Elimination Candidate:


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

[mention]Sprityo[/mention]
[mention]Golden[/mention]
[mention]Long Con[/mention]
[mention]Lunalee[/mention]

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

[mention]Speedchuck[/mention] - FOUR GARNETS

[mention]EdJou[/mention] - FOUR GARNETS

[mention]Nutella[/mention] - FOUR GARNETS

[mention]Spacedaisy[/mention] - THREE GARNETS

[mention]DisgruntledPorcupine[/mention] - THREE GARNETS

[mention]M Plus 7[/mention] - THREE GARNET

[mention]Scotty[/mention] - THREE GARNETS

[mention]Golden[/mention] - TWO GARNETS

[mention]Dharmahelper[/mention] - TWO GARNETS

[mention]Lunalee[/mention] - TWO GARNETS

[mention]Long Con[/mention] - ONE GARNET

[mention]Sprityo[/mention] - ONE GARNET

Speedchuck has correctly identified the Criminal Leader, Lunalee, causing the Jury Game to end with a civilian victory. The winners are as follows:

[mention]speedchuck[/mention] - Civilian Leader
[mention]EdJou[/mention] - Civilian
[mention]DisgruntledPorcupine[/mention] - Civilian
[mention]Scotty[/mention] - Civilian
[mention]M Plus 7[/mention] - Civilian
[mention]nutella[/mention] - Civilian
[mention]Spacedaisy[/mention] - Civilian

These seven players have all received two Garnets 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]Lunalee[/mention] - Criminal Leader
[mention]DharmaHelper[/mention] - Criminal
[mention]Golden[/mention] - Criminal
[mention]sprityo[/mention] - Criminal
[mention]Long Con[/mention] - Criminal

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. If a unanimous decision is reached, the deliberation period will immeditately end. Ties will be randomly broken.

BTSC will remain completely open for these 24 hours.

Here are the full results of the Jury Game:

[mention]Speedchuck[/mention], as the Civilian Leader, please publicly post in the thread who you suspect to be the Criminal Leader. If you are correct, the Civilian team will win the game. If you are incorrect, the Criminal team will win the game.

The six of you have until 10:50 AM CST tomorrow to PM me either a "Guilty" or "Not Guilty" vote. If there is even one "Not Guilty" vote, the trial will result in a Not Guilty verdict. When I have received all the votes, I will announce the verdict. How each individual player voted will not be revealed. Depending on the verdict, either the Civilian Leader or the Criminal Leader will be asked to reveal themselves, and to publicly guess the identity of the opposing team's leader. If they get it right, their team wins. If they get it wrong, the opposing team wins.

M PLUS 7'S PROPOSED JURY:
Dharmahelper, DisgruntledPorcupine, EdJou, M Plus 7, Nutella, Spacedaisy

Approve: EdJou, Spacedaisy, Scotty, Speedchuck
Disapprove: Golden, Dharmahelper, Lunalee, Long Con

YET TO VOTE: [mention]sprityo[/mention], [mention]M Plus 7[/mention], [mention]DisgruntledPorcupine[/mention], [mention]nutella[/mention]

DEADLINE: 7:55 AM CST tomorrow.

Remember, 7 votes result in instant majority decisions, ties result in a disapproval, and non-votes are abstentions that do not affect the total.

[mention]Speedchuck[/mention], as the Civilian Leader, please publicly post in the thread who you suspect to be the Criminal Leader. If you are correct, the Civilian team will win the game. If you are incorrect, the Criminal team will win the game.

The five of you have until 6:40 AM CST tomorrow to PM me either a "Guilty" or "Not Guilty" vote. If there are at least two "Not Guilty" votes, the trial will result in a Not Guilty verdict. This is different than previous rounds, when only one "Not Guilty" vote was needed. When I have received all the votes, I will announce the verdict. How each individual player voted will not be revealed. Once the verdict is revealed, [mention]M Plus 7[/mention] may propose a jury of six people for the fifth trial.

SCOTTY'S PROPOSED JURY:
Golden, Lunalee, M Plus 7, Scotty, Spacedaisy

Approve: Scotty, EdJou, M Plus 7, Spacedaisy, DisgruntledPorcupine, Nutella
Disapprove: Dharmahelper, Lunalee, Golden

YET TO VOTE: [mention]sprityo[/mention], [mention]Long Con[/mention], [mention]speedchuck[/mention]

DEADLINE: 2:52 AM CST tomorrow.

Remember, 7 votes result in instant majority decisions, ties result in a disapproval, and non-votes are abstentions that do not affect the total.

Ties result in disapprovals, so Golden’s vote would result in a disapproval no matter what.

Sprityo’s proposed jury fails.

[mention]Scotty[/mention], you’re up. Please propose a jury of five people.

sprityo wrote: ↑Fri May 04, 2018 5:44 am Can I not put myself on a team?

You can put anyone you want, including yourself, on a team.

[mention]Sprityo[/mention], please propose a jury of five people for the fourth trial.

Spacedaisy wrote: ↑Thu May 03, 2018 10:49 am Does the message I sent you last night count or should I send it again?

It counts.

The five of you have until 7:15 PM CST to PM me either a "Guilty" or "Not Guilty" vote. If there is even one "Not Guilty" vote, the trial will result in a Not Guilty verdict. When I have received all the votes, I will announce the verdict. How each individual player voted will not be revealed. Once the verdict is revealed, [mention]Sprityo[/mention] may propose a jury for the fourth trial.

No offense, y'all, but I'm not staying awake until 3:46 AM. If the jury is approved, I will start the trial as soon as I'm able to do so. If it isn't approved, [mention]sprityo[/mention], you may propose a new jury of five after the deadline is met.

GOLDEN'S PROPOSED JURY:
Golden, EdJou, M Plus 7, Scotty, Spacedaisy

Approve: Speedchuck, Golden, Lunalee, Spacedaisy, M Plus 7, Nutella
Disapprove: Dharmahelper, EdJou, Long Con

YET TO VOTE: [mention]Scotty[/mention], [mention]DisgruntledPorcupine[/mention], [mention]sprityo[/mention]

DEADLINE: 3:46 AM CST.

Remember, 7 votes result in instant majority decisions, ties result in a disapproval, and non-votes are abstentions that do not affect the total.

Golden wrote: ↑Wed May 02, 2018 4:47 pm Also, do I get to vote on my own jury?

Yep.

[mention]Golden[/mention], please propose a jury of five people for the third trial.

The four of you have until 3:00 AM CST tomorrow to PM me either a "Guilty" or "Not Guilty" vote. If there is even one "Not Guilty" vote, the trial will result in a Not Guilty verdict. When I have received all the votes, I will announce the verdict. How each individual player voted will not be revealed. Once the verdict is revealed, [mention]Golden[/mention] may propose a jury for the third trial.

DISGRUNTLEDPORCUPINE'S PROPOSED JURY:
DisgruntledPorcupine
M Plus 7
Scotty
Spacedaisy

Approve: Spacedaisy, Dharmahelper, Speedchuck, Golden, DisgruntledPorcupine, Nutella, EdJou, M Plus 7
Disapprove: Lunalee, Scotty

That's one more "Approve" than a majority, so DisgruntledPorcupine's Jury passes.

A majority of players have voted against DH’s jury, so it does not pass.

[mention]DisgruntledPorcupine[/mention], please propose a jury for the second trial.

[mention]DharmaHelper[/mention], please propose a jury for the second trial.

The four of you have until 7:40 AM CST tomorrow to PM me either a "Guilty" or "Not Guilty" vote. If there is even one "Not Guilty" vote, the trial will result in a Not Guilty verdict. When I have received all the votes, I will announce the verdict. How each individual player voted will not be revealed.

T-minus 1 hour.

EDJOU'S PROPOSED JURY:
EdJou, M Plus 7, Scotty, Spacedaisy

Approve: Long Con, EdJou, Speedchuck, Scotty, Spacedaisy, M Plus 7
Disapprove: Dharmahelper, Lunalee, Nutella, DisgruntledPorcupine, Golden

YET TO VOTE: [mention]sprityo[/mention]

DEADLINE: 7:38 PM CST. In 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Remember, ties result in a disapproval, and non-votes are abstentions that do not affect the total.

In the interest of expediency, I’m instituting a 12 hour deadline for players to vote if they are chosen to be in an approved jury. Non-votes will be counted as abstentions, and will not impact the verdict.

DharmaHelper wrote: ↑Tue May 01, 2018 11:59 am @insertnamehere If we go a full cycle without an agreed upon team are we doing the usual Coup/Avalon/Resistance thing of automatically pushing a jury through?

No, we are not.

This is a reminder that Head Jurors can vote to approve or disapprove of their own proposed juries.

EdJou wrote: ↑Tue May 01, 2018 8:38 am I nominate
EdJou
M Plus
Scotty
Daisy

Players have until 7:38PM CST to approve or disapprove of this jury.

And with that, we have seven disapprovals.

[mention]EdJou[/mention], you’re up. Please nominate 4 people for a jury.

DharmaHelper wrote: ↑Mon Apr 30, 2018 11:33 pm God almighty I hate that tag.

I think it's unnecessary and kinda dumb, but I want to go with the format that the majority of the players are comfortable with.

EdJou wrote: ↑Mon Apr 30, 2018 11:26 pm[VOTE: APPROVE]

Quick note to EdJou, you can access the "vote" tag that the other players are using by clicking on the "Full Editor" button, selecting the "vote" grey box from the line of grey boxes, and writing APPROVE or DISAPPROVE inside the brackets.

It's a little overcomplicated, so it's not obligatory, but I wanted to explain why the hell everyone's saying the word "aubergine."

DharmaHelper wrote: ↑Mon Apr 30, 2018 10:42 pm Votes are public yeah?

Yep.

speedchuck wrote: ↑Mon Apr 30, 2018 10:32 pm Okay. I nominate:

1. Speedchuck

If I need to PM it I can.

Nah, you're good. Everyone has until 9:32 AM CST tomorrow to approve or disapprove this jury.

It doesn't have to be 7 approvals or disapprovals. If there are 4 approvals and 3 disapprovals after 12 hours, the Jury is approved. That stipulation was just in case someone posted a jury and then a majority of people immediately approved it, and waiting out the 12 hours just seemed unnecessary.

Other things: You can totally abstain from voting.

Once you vote, you cannot change it. No take-backsies.

Scotty wrote: ↑Mon Apr 30, 2018 10:11 pm I have a question- is there a cap head jurors in case we can never reach a decision? Like, 4 years down the line when I’m head juror number for the 721st time, we finally get 7 approves? Or we just hoping eventually we’ll all reach a consensus?

This game could theoretically last for an infinite amount of time.

Buckle up, folks.

You may now post in this thread and PM each other about this game.

The randomly decided progression of the Head Juror position is as follows:

1. Speedchuck
2. EdJou
3. Dharmahelper
4. DisgruntledPorcupine
5. Golden
6. Sprityo
7. Scotty
8. M Plus 7
9. Lunalee
10. Nutella
11. Spacedaisy
12. Long Con

[mention]speedchuck[/mention], as you are the first in the line of succession you may propose four people for the Jury as soon as you want. Once the Head Juror proposes a Jury, everyone has 12 hours to vote on it in the thread. Vote using the handy dandy vote button and aubergine up.

EXAMPLES:

[VOTE: APPROVE] aubergine

[VOTE: DISAPPROVE] aubergine

After 12 hours, (or before if 7 out of 12 people vote in a certain direction) the votes will be counted. If a majority approves, that jury will take part in the trial. If a majority, or an equal number, disapprove, the jury will be dispersed, and the next Head Juror will get their turn. An approved Jury will privately PM me their verdict.

FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE ~ OPEN BTSC

The Jury Game will be played in citizen and criminal teams. In five trials, the citizen team will try to get a Guilty verdict, while the criminal team will try to get a Not Guilty verdict. 7 players will randomly be placed on the citizen team, while 5 players will be placed on the criminal team via secret PM. There is one leader on each team. The criminal team will know each other’s identities, but they will not be told who their leader is. The citizen team will not know each other’s identities. However, the citizen team’s leader will start the game knowing the identities of all of the criminals, except for their leader. The citizen team must avoid the criminal team’s interference and draw out 3 Guilty verdicts over the course of 5 trials. The criminal team must draw out 3 Not Guilty verdicts.

The game will have a maximum of 5 rounds. Each round will consist of a jury selection and a trial. All 12 players will take turns as the Head Juror, in a randomly chosen, publicly revealed order. The Head Juror will select a jury for the current round. The number of jurors will change depending on the round. The trials in Rounds 1 & 2 will have 4 jurors. The trials in Rounds 3 & 4 will have 5 jurors. The trial in Round 5 will have 6 jurors. When the Head Juror selects a jury, there will be a vote of approval for that jury that will last for a maximum of 12 hours. If a majority approves, that jury will take part in the trial. If a majority, or an equal number, disapprove, the jury will be dispersed, and the next Head Juror will get their turn. An approved jury will PM me how they wish to vote. How each member voted will not be revealed. When all of the jury has finished voting, the outcome of the trial will be revealed. A unanimous vote is required to reach a Guilty verdict. If even one person chooses Not Guilty, the trial decision will be Not Guilty, except for Round 4, when a minimum of 2 people must vote Not Guilty for that to be the verdict.

When a team wins 3 trials, there will be no more trials held. However, winning the trials will not result in a game win. The team that loses the trials will get one last chance to turn the tables. If the citizen team lost the trials, the citizen leader must guess the criminal leader. If they guess the criminal leader correctly, the citizen team will win the game. Conversely, if the criminal team lost the trials, the criminal leader must guess the citizen leader. If they guess the citizen leader correctly, the criminal team will win the game. However, if a losing team’s leader fails to guess the leader of the winning team, the team that won the trials will win the game. Members of the winning team will each get a Token of Life and 2 Garnets. They will also get to choose an elimination candidate from the losing team. 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 randomly.
