I made a mistake that I didn't think of. I should have played out my purple 1 instead of my green 1 as you had already flipped your purple 5. Then played the the purple one on a square that you had already gone on.

Since it was pretty much my idea, when it became obvious that I was going to be the candidate, I was fine with it. The actual plan was for you to be able to pick between MrKajz and myself, since you could technically block MrKajz from being able to beat me, but I totally missed my assigned pick due to work.

edit: I honestly thought you would destroy me here. My dismal performance in the first death match was very concerning to me.

Great work running the game Girly.

Really fun to try to rig all the different games. And HG I think you were right my decision to not play any chips got us eliminated. It took a little longer but that might have been the turning point.

This, by far this.

I can't wait for the post-game...

For the next round, those of you in the final 4 have received a PM.

Please reply to it as soon as possible and we'll start the next main match.

I wasn't going to pick hoping you would Betray each other and somehow I'd slip up the middle but I wasted to many numbers early to really fight.

It's the game design. At the beginning Gaudreaus don't really matter, in fact they seem to be a detriment because you could be targeted for the death match. Then with 9 players left they get important, final 8 was a Gaudreau match. And as they get more and more important, then suddenly they are taken out.

I figured you guys were going after me and Hg so I sold him out a bit the round before by paying Mrk so I would go through.

That was your only play.

It was terrible luck getting that game, some of the others would have been much better for a single player.

Great game GGG, you guys definitely made it interesting. In some ways, I'll be sorry to see the end of the gang of five, trying to out maneuver you guys has been fun.

Also, congratulations Rathji! GGG is a formidable opponent to have beaten in the deathmatch!

Well, we were going after both of you regardless, so I figured getting some extra Gs wouldn't hurt and then I'd just go after HG for my deathmatch (though I was already leaning towards picking him anyway).

Only part that really sucked for me was the fact that I finally was the Gaudreau leader and right then they got taken out of play.

Today's food we brought a New York Street Food Car into the studio



and then



-----



HELLO!!!

We will begin Round 12 of CP The Genius.

GGG was eliminated in Round 11 and now there are 4 players remaining (squiggs96, bizaro86, Rathji, mrkajz44).

Gaudreaus are no longer a factor

The 12th Main Match is

MIDDLE RACE

In middle race, you will pick a character with a unique ability and run a race (on a board with 20 spaces) using this character. You must finish in the middle. 4th and 5th place will be the winners and all of the remaining players will lose. The winners will progress to the next round. The losers will go to the death match.

This race is played in teams with your guests. There are 8 characters with different special abilities. After everyone checks the character's ability you will pick the character you want.

The players will step up and draw a ball with two numbers on it.
1 and 8
2 and 7
3 and 6
4 and 5

One you have your draft positions, it is up to you which partner you want to pick in which of the two positions.

All characters get 3 move cards, 1 2 and 3. You will submit one card during your turn and move your piece according to the number on that card. Used move cards are discarded and when all 3 are used they will be reset and you get 3 new ones.

The turn orders are already given to the characters with the number 1 character moving first. You will run the race using the abilities and move cards. The game will end when the 5th player crosses the finish line.

Winning Conditions
The 4th and 5th place characters will be the winners and advance to the next round. If a guest is 4th or 5th, their partner will advance to the next round. If 4th and 5th are occupied by player and guest on the same team, they will get to choose who advances with them to the next round.

Here are the characters turn order and their abilities:

1. Gravity - If Gravity discards one move card and you give up your turn, you may either pick a player in front of you and drag them to the space right in front of you or pick a player behind you and drag them to the space right behind you

2. Delete - When Delete's cards are reset you may delete a move card from another player

3. Offer - When Offer's cards are reset you may pick one of your 3 move cards and give it to another player

4. With - When With moves with their last remaining move card, you may pick a player to move as much as you do

5. Copy - When Copy's cards are reset, you may pick another player and copy their ability to use as your own until the next reset. You cannot copy the same person twice in a row.

6. Jump - Each turn Jump moves, you will jump over spaces with characters in them. (For example if Jump is on Space 1 and used a #3 move card and there are characters in Spaces 2,3,5,6 and 8, Jump will end up on Space 9). Jump also has 4 move cards, 0,1,2 and 3 and they will reset when you have 1 left.


7. Silence - Before submitting a move card during your turn, you may pick a player and disable their ability until Silence's next turn


8. Quick - Quick must move double the amount of every move card. However, you may only use up to 2 cards per reset to move forward. The remaining cards will be used to move backwards


If there are any questions ask in this thread
