The Syndicate

The entire thing was much closer than EdJou tried his hardest to make it seem.

Going into Round Eight, DH had 39 points while EdJou had 40. If DH had preserved a handful of points in an earlier round, he probably could have won.

Congratulations EdJou, you will advance to Round 10 of The Genius. DharmaHelper, 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.

DharmaHelper, once I have posted in the thread that I have received EdJou's PM, you may send me your points.

THREAD-BASED - CLOSED BTSC

In Black and White 2, you will compete by using a portion of a limited pool of points each round. The player who wins the most rounds will advance to the next stage of the competition.

Both players will start with 99 points each. The game will consist of 9 rounds. In each round, players may use as many points as they want out of their pool of 99 points. The initial order of play will be randomly decided. Starting from the second round, the player who won the previous round will send me their points first. When a starting player PM’s me with the number of points they wish to use, a single digit amount will be shown as “black,” and a double-digit amount will be shown as “white.” The following player will use the black and white indicators as hints for their turn. Their points will also be shown as black or white. The player who used the most points for that round will gain one win. Used points will be subtracted from your pool of points. In the event of a tie, both players will keep their points, and the round will restart.

For every 20 points a player uses, a public announcement will be made. So, it will be announced when a players’ pool of points are in the 60~79 range, then the 40~59 range, then the 20~39 range, and finally the 0~19 range. If you used 10 points in Round 1, for example, you would have 89 points remaining, and no announcements would be made. If you used ten more points in Round 2, however, it would be publicly announced that you possess 60~79 points. These announcements will occur immediately after I receive a player’s submitted points, and before the next player’s turn.

When a player wins 5 rounds, the game will end immediately, and their opponent will be eliminated.
