Main Match #7: The Secret


Congratulations on making the final twelve! You have each been given nine Secrets, which will be posted in your confessional. Your goal for this main match is to find the other players' secrets, while avoiding having your own secrets exposed.


You have 72 hours to share and obtain secrets from the other players. Once you have found somebody's secret and you want to claim it, post that image in the Main Match 7 thread in your confessional.


Scoring

A Secret can be Exposed, a Rumor, stay a Secret.


A Secret stays a Secret if zero or one players posted it in their confessional

A Secret becomes a Rumor if two players post it in their confessional

A Secret is Exposed if three or more players post it in their confessional


You gain 3 points for each player you have a Secret or Rumor from, not counting yourself

You gain 2 points for each player you have an Exposed Secret from, not counting yourself

You lose 3 points for each Secret of yours that gets Exposed or becomes a Rumor


Please note that you can't score points for both a Secret/Rumor and an Exposed Secret from the same player. For example, if General Pepper's Secret #1 is kept Secret and his Secret #2 is Exposed, and I post both of them, then I will score 3 points, not 5.


The number of Secrets or Rumors you've found, the number of Exposed Secrets you've found, and the number of your secrets that were exposed or became rumors will be revealed at the end of the game. Basically the number of +3s, +2s and -3s everyone has as well as their total points.


The player(s) with the most point wins the Main Match, the Token of Life, and 5 garnets. The player(s) with the least point becomes the Elimination Candidate. If one player is the sole winner, they can pick any player who is not the Elimination Candidate and give them a Token of Life.
