Hi there! My name is Lukas and I'm 14 years old. I come from an Eastern European country of Lithuania. You don't have a clue where is it located? Don't worry - here it is on a map: Now you know more about Lithuania, don't you? Because I think you didn't know anything about us, because you didn't spot that this was actually Latvia on a map, THIS is Lithuania: We are the land of great basketball, shitty football and even shittier politics, you should've known us! Anyway, I'm a student, at the moment hovering between 8th and 9th grades. I enjoy political satire, indie pop music and late-night comedy, which is basically political satire but anyway. I was cast as a player for the second season of Online The Genius Game, where using my strategy skills, Excel spreadsheets and a talent to piss everyone off, I plummeted to the 8th place of the leaderboard, and yet received an honorable mention of a "child prodigy" (a term I find both hillarious and worth of being cocky about). I'm back here because it was a great fun (until we began playing at the speed of two months a game), and I think I went out too early, to be honest. I'm very excited to go on this adventure again, and I wish very best of luck to everyone! See you soon in the special rooms!

Hi I'm going by Plat and I'm 20 years old. I live in the United States! I'm a student studying economics, and I like playing guitar and piano for fun.
I've never played the Genius before, but I'm super excited to try it out and find ways to win the games. I've watched Season 1 and am partway Season 2, so I don't have ALL of the experience, but hopefully I can find ways to find a way to do well. Good luck to everyone!

Hello everyone! My name is Arnold. I'm 21 years old and I currently reside in the United States! I'm currently an undergraduate student who's studying (and slowlying dying of sleep deprivation) biochemistry. I love to read, play instruments, make jokes, and for all you Harry Potter fans out there, play quidditch! Oh, and procrastinating, that's my favorite hobby. I've never actually played The Genius before but I've seen the first season and small bits and pieces of the other three. However, I've always wanted to play The Genius so here I am! I'm so excited to play this game with all of you, so let's have some fun!!!

Hi all! My name is Jia Wei, and I'll go by Ethynol (or Ethy) in this game. I am a 22 years old student in Singapore. I am majoring in Chemical Engineering and I am in my first year. (Ending in a few more days, oh thank god!) I consider myself to be good with numbers and algebra and I find my brain works best when dealing with such things! However, I do not consider that as my hobby (when school is out, its out!) I enjoy watching shows and I have watched quite a bit of reality TV, sitcoms, romcoms, Korean Dramas and anime. I enjoy reality competition TV the best, especially strategy games. I stumbled upon Survivor when I was 14 and have been watching it since then, and extended my scope to other reality competition shows. What I enjoyed from these shows is the competition, coupled with the drama and character interactions and development. The Genius felt like the kind of show I always wanted to watch and I loved it so much! I binged the entire series twice within a year. Although I have never played in The Genius before and I have not tried any ORGs before, I am excited to get my hands on this game. I want to interact with new like-minded people and play the game they we all come to love. Since I am new, I hope the sunbaes here could take care of us hoobaes to show us the ropes and enlighten us along the way! The reason why I wanted to try is that after seeing the Reddit game blossoming and interesting games in action, I want to join in the fun too. Coincidentally my vacation are coming and this is such a good time to get into this game to have some fun and meet new friends. I'm pretty shy and I would like to take this opportunity to open up to more people as well! Nice to meet everyone here and I hope everyone have a blast of a time here and good luck to everyone!

Hey guys. I'm Trevor from British Columbia, Canada. I'm twenty years old and will be starting college in September. My hobbies include chess and improv comedy.

Can I just quickly say, that my God - this is the best cast I could imagine! Very diverse interests, a bunch of number crunchers, and a lot of newcomers - will be very interesting to see how everything pans out! I'm interested will we see any more experienced players from earlier seasons, or anyone with an ORG experience.
Quick advice for all the first time players - don't be afraid to cooperate and ask for help. Make friends and alliances with everyone and have fun!

Intro: Hi everyone, my name is Jay and I live on the Oregon Coast in the US. I'm a Customer Support Tech but I also run the tower at my local speedway. Yes, I'm really 32, I'm used to being the 'Old Man' of the group. I'm a fan of ORGs and I've had a bit of experience there but not with The Genius. I enjoy games of all kinds and have a decent collection of TableTop games. I really like the format of The Genius as opposed to the more common ORGs so I can't wait to begin!
Good luck to everyone!

Just want to say thanks to the 10 of you who have signed up and completed your profiles. Hoping the other 3 would do it soon. If this signifies your activity for the rest of the game, this would be good.

It's okay Henry, I'll probably flop too. I'm not good at 95% of challenges.
