The Masquerade Ball

Main Match 0: The Masquerade Ball

They say that there is a particular way to design a first Main Match. It has to be easy to understand, and it has to allow for players to get to know each other. It is the first game, so some players may not know each other, which makes it important for there to be incentives for players to socialize with people they may not know. First impressions are important, after all.

This MM fortunately follows all of those design criteria. The goal of this game is simple: figure out who is playing in this ORG. You may talk with anyone in this server however you wish, whether it be in DMs or other methods. (That is, Rule 4 from #server-rules can be ignored for the duration of this episode.) Players will submit by DM to either @e_is_cool or @elara. You may only submit to one of us; if you submit to multiple, only your latest submission will be counted. Please submit a list of distinct names, such that each name can be easily linked to a unique person. You gain 2 points for each name that is a player, lose 1 point for each name that is not a player, and lose 1 point each time you were guessed by another player.

This game will end after 24 hours have passed since the final player entered the server. There will be no warning for this deadline, so presubmit within 24 hours of joining the server or else you may end up with zero points. The winners of this MM are the players with the most points among the players who submitted to the same host. (That is, there are two sets of winners: players with the most points who submitted to @e_is_cool, and players with the most points who submitted to @elara.) They will gain an advantage in the next MM. The winners of this MM will not be announced. Players will be privately informed of the number of points they got, as well as whether or not they got the advantage.

As a bit of a helping hand, here are some fun statistics from the applications of the players.

Number of players who thought paseli was some form of pasta: 7

Number of players living in an actual real timezone: 6

Number of players who have played League of Legends with me: 5

Number of players who solved the nonogram: 3

Number of players who explicitly said "im gay" in some form: 2

Number of players who decided that instead of using their brain and their creative processes they wanted to Google what the word paseli meant and copy word for word some random definition from some obscure thing and even literally said "According to Google" in their response: 1

Feel free to use or not use the above information. Full player information will be released after the conclusion of this MM. As a clarification, if I DM'd you a message asking if you are still playing, and you said yes, that means you have been casted. That is, you should probably submit for this MM. Good luck.
