I'm testing out this contest. If it gets popular, I'll start an official contest with eShop credit as the prize, :love:

Ally or Betray - Win 150 Play Coins
Credit: Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward.

Note: The winner will receive 150 Play Coins. Post below if you want to sign up.
Risk: If your score hits "0", you will lose 25 Play Coins (I'll explain more below - this risk is necessary to keep things exciting).

How does this contest work :

It's simple.
  1. Members will go up against each other (selected randomly).
  2. Each member starts off with 3 points (solo or pair - it's random).
  3. The first person to reach 9 points win. If you hit 0, you lose.
  4. If two members (or more) reach 9 points, no one will win.

Important:

Members will be required to choose "Ally" or "Betray" for each round.
  1. If both teams pick Ally, both teams will gain 2 points.
  2. If Team A picks Ally and Team B picks Betray, Team B will gain 3 points while Team A loses 2 points.
  3. If both teams pick Betray, no team earns any points.
An image is worth a thousand words :


After teams are selected (yes, randomly, heh - some people will be solo), the contest will begin. Participants will be required to send me the choices via Private Conversation. After each round, I will publish the choices in public for everyone to see. I'll then do some math and after I will edit this post with the results.

If you have any questions, please ask. It can be a little confusing after taking all of the information in for the first time, but it'll get simpler after reading it over and over again, or by running a simulation in your head.

Post below to sign up, :singing:

I can't make head or tails of the rules to be honest. I feel stupid :oops: If I'm given a simpler explanation then I would join.

Each round will last for 2 days. Everyone visits daily so everyone should get their votes in on time, I think.

Team A :
  • Jandkas ( 3 points )
  • ErixSan ( 3 points )
Team B :
  • Master O'Puppets ( 3 points )
  • Risinglink ( 3 points )
Team C :
  • HuggableEevee ( 3 points )
  • Memento Mori ( 3 points )
Solos :
  • Dilawer ( 3 points )
  • Onett ( 3 points )
  • Reece1100 ( 3 points )
Teams are required to work together to come up with a choice. If both members of the same team disagrees, the first person to message me with an answer will be counted. Solos do not have to work together.

Note: Teams will be changed in Round 2.​

Round 1 :

Choose "Ally" or "Betray". Send me a personal conversation with the answer (do not post it here).

Team A Vs Team C

Team B Vs Reece1100

Dilawer Vs Onett

Teams should communicate with each other and decide an answer. Good luck everyone.

You have 3 days to decide. If you fail to give an answer, your default answer will be "Ally".
