Train of Thought

In this Death Match, the two Death Match Participants will attempt to guide three trains to the end of their respective networks, which will create a small mathematical equation. The winner will be the player whose formed equation has a higher final value. However, at each junction, your fellow players will make the decision as to whether the train goes left, or goes right. Managing your fellow players will be vital for this game.

The Network

The train network is displayed here. The three trains will begin at Stations 1, 4, and 6. At Station 1, the player assigned to Station 1 will decide if the train goes left or right. Either way, the train will then encounter Station 2, where another left/right choice will be made. The final choice for this train is made at Station 3, which will determine what the final result for the first train is. For example, if the player in Station 1 chooses left, Station 2 chooses right, and Station 3 chooses right, the first number in the equation will be "2".

The third line is an exact replica of the first, while the second network uses two choices instead of three, and chooses a mathematical operation - division, multiplication, addition, and subtraction, in that order.

Player Submissions

This Death Match is conducted non-live. Each Death Match Participant will have to decide which spectating player will operate which station. Both Death Match Participants will not act in either of the networks. Each spectating player must be used in exactly one station.

Each spectating player must submit if they will go Left or Right for each Death Match Participant.

End of Match

After 48 hours have expired, or all 10 players have locked in their submissions, each network will be evaluated, creating a final result. For example, if a Death Match Participant's station operators, in order, chose left, right, right, right, left, right, left, left, then the final result will be "2 + 4", for final score of 6.

The player whose equation has a higher result will win the Match. If the two players have the same value, the Match will be repeated. If the repeat of the Death Match results in two ties, for a total of three tied Death Matches, all non-Death Match Participants without a Token of Life will have a lottery to determine an eliminated player.

Communication

Communication is completely free between all players, for the entire run of the Death Match, as long as it is not prohibited by the general rules of this ORG.

Stakes

The winner of this Death Match will survive until the Final Nine! Your social capital and persuasive abilities are being tested in this Death Match - the spectators may hold your fate, but ultimately the player that can manipulate them best will emerge victorious. Good luck, contestants.
