 Hello! Welcome to the Genius game! Going forward, you will play a total of 11 rounds of games. One person will be eliminated each round. The person who survives until the end will be the champion. You were each given a gem inside your invitations.  That gem, which is called a garnet, is the currency used in this game. Garnets maybe provided before a game or gained within a game. Your garnets may also be in negotiations with other players. Having a lot of garnets could allow you to give an edge in the games. |

Then, I will explain the overall game rules. Each round consists of a main match and a death match. The main match decides who will play in the death match. The death match is a 1-on-1 game to decide who will be eliminated.  Every player will participate in the main match to determine a winner and elimination candidate. The winner of the main match will receive a token of life which grants immunity from the death match. If there is a sole winner, they will obtain two tokens of life and they must grant immunity to another player other than the elimination candidate. The elimination candidate will then pick another player to play in the death match with them. The death match is a 1-on-1 game to decide who is eliminated. The loser of the death match will be eliminated. The eliminated player's garnets will be taken by the death match's winner. If you have any questions during the games, feel free to post and ask. |

I will now introduce the 1st Main Match.
The 1st Main Match is "ID Exchange".
In "ID Exchange", you will trade your ID card with other players and the person with the most points at the end of the game will be the winner.
ID Exchange will be played for a duration of 48 hours.
The 13 ID cards consists of 7 "Commoner" cards, 5 "Noble" cards and 1 "Convict" card.
Before the start of the game, each of you will be given randomly a card and it will be posted on your Confessionals page.
Once the game commences, players may trade their ID cards to gain points.
Official trades are only possible at the forum thread titled "Official Trading Centre".
You are only allowed to trade with each player once.
You do not need to trade with anyone if you do not wish to.
Once you have traded officially, you will be told on your Confessional page the ID that you are currently holding.
You can also do an unofficial trades through the rooms that you requested. You can exchange with a player multiple times but no points are given for these unofficial trades.
You won't be told what ID you are holding when you change it too in these rooms.
You will only gain points by official trading at the "Official Trading Centre". You will then gain points depending on the swap that you have done.
Take note, for all swaps, I will follow using timestamps. So for both trades, it will be counted when the 2nd person accept the trade with the 1st person. So, especially when you do unofficial trades, the time that the 2nd person trade is important as the change of cards affect following this order.
The points gained for trading are as follows:
Nobles and Convicts will only gain points by trading with a Commoner.
If a noble trades with a Commoner, the noble will gain 1 point.
If a convict trades with a Commoner, the convict gains 2 points.
Commoners will not gain any points from trading.
The last player to officially trade away their Convict card before the deadline will gain 3 points, regardless of the card they receive.
The game will end after 48 hours and the player with the convict card at the end will be the Death Match candidate.
The player/s with the most points will be the winner/s.
If there is a sole winner, they will receive 2 tokens of life.
Every player will win 1 garnet for every 3 points they get.
ID Exchange will begin on Fri, 9 PM EST and ends on Sunday, 9 PM EST.

What happens when a convict trade with a noble, btw?
EDIT: And for unofficial trades, do we just say that we traded in our own rooms?

What happens when a convict trade with a noble, btw? I believe no points are gained from official trading with those two cards. However, if this was the last official trade for the convict once the game ends- the convict will get 3 points regardless. |

Unofficial trades, just create a thread in your rooms where the two of you agreed to trade. Dun need to announce here. |

Will we get to know our cards in 11 hours at the start of 48 hours or will you inform us before that? It would be handy to plan out the strategy beforehand but I'm totally okay both ways.

Also, continuing the work of last season, I'll be updating this spreadsheet of results of the game. It will contain rankings of players as well as a garnet count. You can also find the results of previous seasons as well. bit.ly/TheGeniusForumGame |

To make it easier for me to track the unofficial trading, please create an "Unofficial Trading Thread" in your rooms. Remember, I will only count the trade as successful after the 2nd person posted the trade. Please do your trade in this manner.
"I'm trading my card with Jinho"
"I'm trading my card with Sangmin"
remember, the timestamp of the 2nd person accepting is crucial to determine what card you are trading and getting at that point. if you post the official trading earlier than the unofficial trading but the 2nd person in the unofficial trading accepts earlier than the official trading, the unofficial trading is deemed to have been done first before the official trading. so keep that in mind.

All rooms will be temporarily closed at 9 PM EST while I assigned the cards to each person in your confessionals. Once everyone have received, the rooms will be opened again and the Main Match will officially start.
