Rules: The game features 8 players that answer a series of trivia questions. The value of the questions increase as players guess each question right. The players take turn answering questions, going from left to right. Each round lasts 20 questions long, +- 6 questions(15+1d13 to 1d7, depending on the round, on a dice roll made in secret.) As long as players get answers right the value of the questions increase, but if they get it wrong, it gets reduced to zero. If a player says "bank" they players keep the money for the questions answered correctly so far. At the end of the round the value of the banked money passes on to the next round.

At the end of each round, players vote on who they want to eliminate from the game(via pm). The player with the most votes is removed from the game for the next round. If there is a tie, the "strongest link", that is the player who answered the most questions right, the tie is whoever banked the most money, makes the decision on who to eliminate. Play continues this way until the final two players, where the players answer a series of 5 questions each, with the most questions correct determining the winner. If there is a tie after 5 questions, there is a sudden death playoff. The winner of the final round takes home all the money and the rest of the players take home none.

I haven't been onsite in like 7 years and lost access to my original account. So technically I'm an alt, but I'm treating myself like a newbie and starting my mafia playing from the beginning with a newbie game.

Here are the 7 contestants preparing for todays show.

Only one of them will win up to a fake $1,000,000

The others will leave with nothing when voted off as The Weakest Link!

Welcome to a special mafiascum edition of The Weakest Link.

The 7 players here today think they are smart but I'm not so sure.

If they want the prize money they'll need to work as a team, but

only one can walk away with the money in the end. Round by round

we lose contestants as they vote each other off, as we play, The weakest link! .

We're going to disperse with the usual pleasentries and go straight

to playing the game.

The rules are simple:

I'm going to ask you questions and you have up to 24 hours to answer although the quicker the better to keep the game moving along.

Each question has a value and if you get the question right the value goes up for the next question.

If you get the question wrong the value goes back down to zero.

If you say bank then everyone keeps that money for the rest of the game.

At the end of the round each player will vote on another palyer to be voted out and the player with the most votes will be voted out as the weakest link.

When we get to two players there will be a 5 question final round with no voting and no banking.

Here are the question values for Round 1!

8 $25K
7 $10K
6 $7.5K
5 $5K
4 $4K
3 $3K
2 $2K
1 $!K

It's time to play, the weakest link! You'll have 2 minutes and 30 seconds for this round.
