The Genius (LSG Format)

The Genius is an ORG/Large Social Game type based on the South Korean reality competition show of the same name.

Format Details

Every round will possess a Main Match competition. If there are multiple winners, they will each get a Token of Life, granting them safety from the Death Match. If there is only one winner, they will get two Tokens of Life: one for themselves and one for any player they choose that is not the Elimination Candidate.
The loser of the Main Match will be the Elimination Candidate and automatically enter the Death Match. If there are multiple losers, the winner(s) must unanimously agree on an Elimination Candidate.
There will occasionally be Garnet Matches. Garnet Matches are similar to Main Matches, except that the player(s) with the most garnets at the end of the Main Match will win a Token of Life (two if they are the sole winner), and the player with the least garnets will become the Elimination Candidate.

The Loser of the Main Match will enter the Death Match. If there is a tie for loser the winner(s) of the Main Match will determine the loser.
- In the event that there are joint winners and multiple Death Match candidates and the joint winners cannot agree on the Death Match candidate the majority choice will be the Death Match candidate. If there is a tie that cannot be broken, there will be a tie-breaker challenge between all joint winners. The loser of this challenge will become the Death Match candidate instead
The Loser of the Main Match must choose an opponent without a Token of Life to challenge in the Death Match.
If all players except for one tie for the best score in the Main Match, then the player in last place will automatically go to the Death Match. They can then choose any opponent in the game to challenge in the Death Match.
In the unlikely event that all players end up with the same score in the Main Match, everyone will cast a vote for who they want to see in the Death Match. The player with the most votes will become the Elimination Candidate, and must then pick another player to take to the Death Match.
The player who loses the Death Match will be eliminated from the game.
The winner of the Death Match will receive half of the losers' Garnets (rounded down). The other half will be distributed evenly to all other players on their team, with the remainder sent to the Death Match winner.

All players will start with 0 Garnets, but more may be acquired later on.
Garnets that can be gained from a main match will be announced prior to the beginning of said main match.
Garnets will be used to gain advantages in Main Matches. Having more might also give you an advantage in a Death Match (but they won't be spent in Death Matches)
Garnets may be given to other players.
- Once a Main Match result is posted, players can no longer give Garnets to other players until the Death Match contenders are decided. Once that is determined, non-death match players may resume gifting of garnets.
- Once the Death Match concludes, the victor may gift garnets again until the next Death Match.
- Players are not allowed to give Garnets to other players during Garnet Matches.
The garnet count for all players will be revealed at the start of each Main Match and at the end of each Main Match.

When 2 players remain we will enter the final stage of the game. The final 2 will play in 3 Finale Matches.
Jurors will select one of the final 2 to support and give them an item. The items will give an edge in the Finale Matches.
The player with the most garnets will be given an additional item.
The winner of 2 out of 3 Finale Matches becomes the winner of the Genius.
