So clarify: each team of three submits a number of players that all three of them are going to put up

(similar to the RPS game we played)

All teams have submitted.

EEN, TWEE, DRIE, PLOF! is a Dutch elimination game that I played more than 40 years ago. Three players would say "EEN, TWEE, DRIE, PLOF" (ONE, TWO, THREE, BOOM) and put their hand on their leg FACEUP or FACEDOWN. If all three players placed their hand the same way, they repeated. If one was different, that player was the lucky one and eliminated. LMS was the loser and would assume a role in a game that nobody wanted (like the seeker in hide/seek).

In the Squid Game every team will play N games of EEN, TWEE, DRIE, PLOF, where N will depend on the player number that team submitted. For example, if a team submitted 120, you might be playing N=12 rounds, with each round 10 player's lives being at stake.

Exact details will be provided by PM.

All three players in the team must submit N times FACEUP or FACEDOWN to me.
If all three players submit the same in a round, all of them lose their players for that round. If two submit the same and one is different, the one player will lose his/her team.

Let's play!

Round 5 is the round of the Bermuda Triangle. 648 players went in and were never seen again:

 lukethefluke0216264216 48
 Paasei0216216216 0

I don't know WTF happened. Did they read the rules correctly? Have they been levelling each other to the point of this grandiose suicide pact? Only they will be able to tell.

Fact is, all three players submitted the exact same sequence for their 12 rounds. GJGE.

Behind the Unbrella and Star doors, three way pacts resulted in losing the minimum.

Behind the Circle door, bsball and filthy missed an opportunity to collude vs Zurvan. The first thing they had to do is submit a decent number and not lowball. Something like 100-150. Then all they have to do is submit the exact same thing. Zurvan can do nothing, he will lose his entire team, while the EV for bsball and filthy is to lose half their team, depending on how well Zurvan guesses.

As played, lowballing 52 will almost certainly result in all three Game Masters losing exactly 50 players and that is precisely what happened.

Zurvan was "lucky" in the EEN-TWW-DRIE-PLOF! game and lost only 9 men, but that luck transferred to Doctor Zeus, who gladly received 41 defectors. For the second time in a row she gains a couple of men in a round of the Squid game!

eyebooger and Gadarene share 4th place and equally divide the 23+16 players that defect from bsball and filthy. Unlucky for one player, 39 isn't divisible by two, so that odd player was executed on the spot. This is the Squid game, it has to be fair, right?

For the last round, I will allow the bottom 4 Game Masters to play up to 150 players, so that they can participate decently in the last round.

Of course, they will thereby be able to finish the game with negative numbers.

At the start of the game I obviously had no clue how this would pan out and if 456 players would be enough to play the game. I think it is, but **** can happen.

In the final round we play TUG O'WAR
Do you have any strong men left in your team, who can pull a rope?

All Game Masters must submit a team that is a multiple of 10.

Besides that team, Game Masters can assign additional players for a secret suicide mission. For every 20 players in their team, they may assign 1 player to said mission.

For example, if you submit a team of 90 to play Tug O'War, you may additionally assign 0-4 players to the special mission (for a total of 90-94 players assigned to this round).

Please submit your players for the last round! Good luck!

I'm choosing this as a grand success because I read the betrayal and brought luke and passei down with me.

I said to Paasei I was worried about that! Trouble is it takes real bravery for us both to switch 100%

You set it up so you were ‘free rolling’ and just have to say fair play. If Paasei had been legit with you he’s the one who would’ve suffered.

At least I submitted what we agreed!

lol so that is what happened

luke and paasei submitted their identical sequence almost simultaneously and bloo's came a lot later.

Excellent. We could have had more of such fun in this game or in RPS, but people prefer to be decent rather than win games

in retrospect I realise it is bad to be the highest scoring player in that game and I should have held off on choosing a door

This round was kind of designed to bring down leaders and mix up the classification. It was really easy to collude two Vs one
