DeathMatch 6: Artistic Interpretation


In this game you will design a set of 25 requirements for a painting, then try to create a painting that matches the requirements your opponent set.

This is an isolated DeathMatch, communication with other players from this point is not allowed.


This game uses 5x5 Paintings where each square can be 1 of 5 colours, Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple.

Every square of this painting must have a colour.


Before the DeathMatch you will have to choose 25 conditions from a list of 30. These can be found in #dm6-conditions

These conditions are numbered 1 through 30, this will be important.

Each condition will have 1 or 2 "fill in the blank" spaces where you must select a valid option.

Once you have determined your 25 conditions, you must also submit a valid painting that meets all 25 of your conditions.

The conditions you select and your "filled blanks" with will remain hidden.

Players must complete this before 1 hour ahead of the DeathMatch's start time.


In the DeathMatch itself, your will attempt to create a painting that meets all of your opponents conditions.

Each round you must submit a 5x5 painting.

Afterwards I will reveal how many conditions you met using another 5x5 grid.

The 25 selected conditions will be laid out in a 5x5 grid in order, skipping over the 5 conditions that your opponent didn't use.

For example, if you skipped using conditions: 4, 8, 15, 26, 28. You would see them ordered as follows:



However it is worth noting that which condition is which will be hidden. (no numbers visible)

Each Round, each square will light up with a ✔ if the condition was met, or ✘ if the condition was not met.

The first player to create a Painting that matches all 25 criteria from the opponent wins the DeathMatch.

In the event both players do this in the same round, then whichever player had more conditions met most recently will win.


There are however some lifelines that you can purchase to aid your evaluation.

At the end of each round you will gain 1 Coin.

You may only purchase 1 lifeline per round and you may not use the same lifeline 3 times in a row.


For 2 Coins: You may give the dealer the coordinates of a square of the painting. You are told the colour they used for that cell in their validity submission.

For 5 Coins: You may give the dealer the number of a condition. You are told if your opponent used that condition in their Painting.

For 9 Coins: You may give the dealer the number of a condition. If they used it, you are told the exact "fill in the blanks" they used.


To submit the painting designs for this game we will be using a google sheets for each player.

To submit the purchase of lifelines, this must be done in discord itself.

You must fill in each square of the 5x5 painting with the first letter of the colour you wish to place there. [RYGBP]

Players have 100 seconds to submit each round.

If players have not finished adjusting their painting with that time, I will take whatever exists at that time as the submission.


Players are not permitted to use coding or auto solvers in the creation of paintings.

Players are not permitted to use auto solvers during the DeathMatch.

Anything more than pencil and paper style notes without automation is not allowed.

As this is an Isolated DeathMatch, you may not discuss the creation of your conditions and paintings with anyone inside or outside the ORG.


If after 50 rounds neither player has correctly made a painting that matches all 25 conditions, the DeathMatch will end.

Whoever had met more conditions at any round in the DeathMatch will win.

If this is a tie, whichever player met more conditions first, will win.


Here is an example of the Board revealed every round. This features players current Coins, last submitted paintings and conditions met:
