What's majority?

Technically, xofelf and Klick will win if either of them reach 19. That number will decrease if anyone but those two receives any votes.

Alrighty then. If everyone would ever so kindly send me a message with who you would like me to sacrifice and why you shouldn't be sacrificed, that would be awesome. IM(including sitechat) of some kind is easiest, but for those that only PM that's fine too. Just get at me. I won't make a decision until either I've heard from everyone OR 10 pm EST hits whichever happens first. I'd rather do it sooner, but timezones can be a bitch so yeah.

After hearing what everyone said about things, there really is only one option since a good majority of the players agreed on this person. So it is with great sorrow I must choose a sacrifice. Just know that your death shall not be in vain, we shall avenge you when the time comes. And that sacrifice is:
Monty
. I am sorry the town has spoken and I must do what they ask of me.

Somehow I feel it wasn't smart to sacrifice someone because we're cornered, given that there is now 1,300+ gypsies. Not seeing how we get any less cornered here.

Gypsy, can you please extend the deadline for the next challenge so that I can have time to do it Friday night? That will be the earliest I can access the thread after tonight.

Looking at the playerlist right now is scaring me.
Never be sorry for your little time.

Challenge 4 - Majority Twist


The gypsies
run off with Monty, who is pushing, shoving, and screaming for his/her life. While you feel bad for him/her, you have to keep going - obviously not outside. So, you scour around for a bit, when suddenly Equinox cries “Eureka!” Everyone huddles around Equinox as he/she opens a secret hatch. You crawl through the hatch, and end up in a
passageway
of sorts.

The group walks for a bit, and trades horror stories - there’s not much else you can do at this point. Then, you run into a monument, with the inscription reading “To Our King -
Hung Root
. May peace and prosperity forever be with us.” Looks like you found one of the
gypsy tunnels!


No sooner do you realize that then do the walls close in around you, and a tablet that reads the following:


Explanation:

You’ve found your way into a gypsy tunnel, but now you’re trapped. Answer the following questions. You get one point for each answer that is with the majority. The player with the least points is eliminated.

However, this challenge has a twist. The player with the second least amount of points (or the player that scored highest in the elimination tiebreaker, if there is a tie for last), will win a secret prize. So, do you go for safety, or risk it all and go for the prize? It’s your choice.

Question 1: Yes or no, will xofelf make a good leader?
Question 2: Yes or no, did Monty deserve to be eliminated in challenge 3?
Question 3: Yes or no, will the leader be eliminated in a challenge soon?
Question 4: Which player is braver: orcinus, Blastoide, or KingdomAces?
Question 5: Which player is more likely to be eliminated: D3f3nd3r, Equinox, or Jal?
Question 6: Yes or no, Marya (Cybele) is cowardly.
Question 7: Yes or no, Raynen (Nicholas1024) would make a better leader than xofelf.
Question 8: Yes or no, Jal wore a better outfit than Blastoide.
Question 9: Who would more likely win an endgame scenario: Equinox, orcinus, or Marya (Cybele)?
Question 10: Which player would you rather bring back: mastermind or Monty?
Question 11: Yes or no, you would risk elimination from the game for the reward.
Question 12: Yes or no, you would rather not risk your position in the game for the reward.
Question 13: Yes or no, there is a player in this game I want eliminated.

Tiebreaker: The Leader chooses who to save. The first saved player will get a reward. HOWEVER. If any of the group disagrees, they can mutiny, by posting the following (in bold):

{Character} mutinies against {Leader}’s choice!


There will be {24 hours} to mutiny, and another 24 for others to decide to mutiny or not. If a majority of the current players choose to mutiny, the Leader is eliminated instead, and the group comes to a majority decision as to who they want to reward of the tied players. Then a new Leader is chosen.

{48 hours} to submit.

I've just answered my questions honestly, though I wish that (for Q8) we had access to each players' original write-ups for comparison.
