Paradise Lost - by Legit

[antiaverage]

So from here, I guess I will design a revamped Trial 5. Give me a day or two to make sure all variables can be taken care of.

Please tell me this is only true if you, Legit, win the current Trial 5...

Well I believe by default we would all spend all of our points round 5, unless Drake wants to speak up, announce that he doesn't want that, and then you win, aa. But that'd also be a bit anticlimactic I do believe.

Hardly anticlimactic. That's half the point of this game, convincing other people to do what might not be the obvious choice.

Automatically playing all points doesn't make sense if this is a psychological game. This isn't an AI challenge.

Not to mention, this doesn't have to be the last Paradise Lost

He's had some trouble accessing the forums recently, just so you know.

Time's up for Round 5, can we see the results? Seems like it went fairly enough. I'm not sure why you need to PM Drake when you set clear deadlines.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Points used Round 5:
Fippe94 0
xyan 30
Elbirn 1
Drake_XIV 1
antiaverage 48

Remaining:
Fippe94 0
xyan 0
Elbirn 0
Drake_XIV 95
antiaverage 0

Stars:
antiaverage 2

Elbirn 1
xyan 1
Fippe94 1

Drake_XIV 0

Ok so here's what's going to happen:

Drake_XIV is eliminated for inactivity.

antiaverage automatically wins the game because of winning Trial 5. The rule ambiguity about spending all points before round 5 could not have prevented Elbirn from winning the trial because antiaverage had more excess points after. Therefore antiaverage wins.

I will host a Trial 5.5 with the 3 remaining players and only 1 (or 0) players can win. If a player does win, then both that player and antiaverage will win Paradise Lost.

Trial 5.5: Mexican Standoff

For this trial, there will any number of rounds lasting one day each.

The 3 players are located in a diagram like this:
 

(Walls are present at the beginning of this trial)

Each round players will send a PM with an action and a target. There are 3 actions:
Shoot (target) - User will attempt to kill the target player. If there is a wall in the way, the bullet will bounce back and kill the user instead.
Build (target) - User builds a wall in between user and target player. If there is already a wall, nothing happens.
Destroy (target) - User destroys a wall in between user and target player. If there is no wall, nothing happens.

If you don't send in a PM, intentionally or unintentionally, you will take no action for that round.

Action order: Build->Destroy->Shoot.

Between any 2 players who send in actions: Build occurs first, then destroy, then shoot occurs last.

Player 1 action	Shoot	Shoot	Shoot
Player 2 action	Shoot	Build	Destroy
Outcome	Both players die	Player 1 dies	Player 2 dies

ROUND 1: I don't wanna use timers anymore.

Will the actions taken by the players be revealed?
(After each round)

[Fippe94]

Wait, so there are walls between all of us in the beginning?

EDIT: And we must send an action I guess? (No 'pass' option)

Walls are there at the start.

You can pass, just don't send in a PM.

@Mort: Yes

Ah, sorry for any trouble I caused from my inactivity.  It's a pity I couldn't help prolong this game in a way I saw fit.
