Welcome to Awful Genius Game! A forum game where 12 people play simple games with many solutions, trying to outsmart each other to come up with a creative solution that will put them on top. The game is broken into Main Matches for everyone and 1v1 Death Matches to determine who goes home. Games will be held from 7-10pm EST. Main Matches will take place on Mondays and Thursdays, Death Matches on Tuesdays and Fridays until we have a winner. There will be 4 IRC rooms for this game. Think of these as the side rooms from the show. You are only permitted to be in one room at a time and once you leave a room you cannot return to it for at least 3 minutes. You may only be in these rooms while the match is on. This is an individual game. You may make allies if you wish, but don't rely on allies to carry you through. Those who help you one week may need to work against you in the next. You are playing for the entire pot of garnets which will be given as rewards during Main Matches. Final Garnet Count: 90!

Rules: The following rules all apply to the game. However, just to make sure that the game isn't thrown into disarray, signing up for this game, you are effectively ing yourself for any rule with a in it. Violating these big-time rules will result in a 100,000 hour probation. It's not that hard to not cheat.
RULES FOR THE VIEWER'S VISTA There will be a special Viewer's Only google doc, where non-players can see some content unavailable in the thread or to the actual players of the game, ranging from chatlogs to advance knowledge on upcoming twists and turns, along with some other perks. However, we want to keep things clean and fun and enjoyable for everyone, so before you enter the the Viewer's page, there are some rules that apply before entering.
Confessionals We will be taking confessionals during this game which will be posted in the Viewer's Vista. Your competition will never see these while in the game, so you are free to speak candidly. After every match Dr.Hurt will post a list of questions. You can use these questions to shape your confessional and PM your answers to him.

What is your IQ? High. (No idea.) What would you actually do in the event of a zombie apocalypse? Die. Actually, I live on a farm that, while not quite in the middle of nowhere, isn't too surrounded by a super-high population and has a fair distance between it and town, and my family are crazy rednecks with guns. We could probably survive for quite a while, but it'd be boring as hell. Though I guess that's a given; post-apocalyptic scenarios kind of suck. People wishing for them are weird. Do you consider yourself a local celebrity, a comedian, or a boyband member?Well, I had fifteen minutes of Internet fame a few times, including once on these forums, but otherwise no. What science fiction invention would you like to bring to real life? Immortal robot bodies. That's basically the science-fiction endgame anyway, right? What is the first thing you would do upon entering the Genius Mansion? Scout out the others, probably. Talk with them a bit. That seems like the basic, obvious choice; not much else to do there anyway. Why are you better than everyone else who will be playing this game? I have basically unlimited free time so I can devote far more time than I should to this. Also I'm pretty smart and can be rather clever; I did a good job keeping up with the games while watching The Genius myself, including figuring out some of the tricks before the show got to them and figuring out the winning strategies. Who is the smartest person on the SA forums? Me. (I dunno.) Nexal Location: Sweden What is your high powered mentally demanding occupation? Bartending What is your IQ? I have no idea. People who boast about their IQare losers. What would you actually do in the event of a zombie apocalypse? "In these types of events mortality rate is very high so in order to try escape I would like to dress myself in style in case if the inevitable would happen. Escape plan:Grab a metapod outfit(If I had one). Then go out with 2 umbrellas and yell harden while repelling with the umbrellas the zombies that are trying to attack me. First boat to offshore oil rig and stay there until things calm down and write a book about the man who wore metapod suit. Do you consider yourself a local celebrity, a comedian, or a boyband member? Hell yeah! Serving Banana coladas with lethal poison since 2012 cause you made me use the blender sure has had it's affects on my renown. What science fiction invention would you like to bring to real life? Memory implants/remover so we all can forget those days when we posted/read something really stupid. What is the first thing you would do upon entering the Genius Mansion? I would dress up as the dealer of the show and try blend in them and watch as the other guests arrive and get better insight of them in first hand and only then reveal myself when everyone has arrived. Why are you better than everyone else who will be playing this game? Read people, situations and try outplay everyone. If I can keep my head calm I think I will get very far but I do have the tendency of overthinking things and having a game where paranoia can get in your head could be the fatal for me, but I will win for sure cause there is no way you can get me confused to the point where I will run like headless chicken around asking for help. Offtopic: Causue of my flexible schedule I can work around to have time to play this game even though I'm from europe. Who is the smartest person on the SA forums? Lowtax FewtureMD Location: Florida, United States What is your high powered mentally demanding occupation? Pre-Med Student What is your IQ? At least 120, according to some child hood testing, but there are some flaws with the tests that I believe do not accurately reflect all proper forms of intelligence. What would you actually do in the event of a zombie apocalypse? Die. Do you consider yourself a local celebrity, a comedian, or a boyband member? A local celebrity, seeing as I volunteer at a local senior center, and the people there truly enjoy my being there and helping out. I especially enjoy Bingo days, because I get to play along as well. What science fiction invention would you like to bring to real life? The capsule technology from the Dragon Ball universe. The ability to so drastically alter an object's size and mass has many uses, and the easily mass-produced homes could help solve the homeless crisis, as well as ship healthy food to people living in food deserts. What is the first thing you would do upon entering the Genius Mansion? Identify and befriend those who would make the strongest members of an alliance. Why are you better than everyone else who will be playing this game? I am willing to work together with people as long as it benefits me, and then betray them without any remorse, in a game. Also, I give back to my local community in several ways. I'm an Eagle Scout, for cripes sake. Who is the smartest person on the SA forums? There are several intelligent and talented people I respect on the forums, including Reene, elise the great, and gnome7 Hal Incandenza Location: Boulder, CO, USA What is your high powered mentally demanding occupation? Projector Surgeon What is your IQ? ~1221 What would you actually do in the event of a zombie apocalypse? Most likely I would cry, and once that was done probably try and push everyone else in front of the zombies so I could escape Do you consider yourself a local celebrity, a comedian, or a boyband member? Local celebrity and comedian, but in the past I may have been in a boy band What science fiction invention would you like to bring to real life? Time machine, duh! What is the first thing you would do upon entering the Genius Mansion? Carefully lean up against the wall as close to the center of the room as possible and say very little while eyeing the other competitors as they came in, making sure they noticed me sizing them up. Why are you better than everyone else who will be playing this game? This is a silly question that shows the questioner probably isn't a genius. Who is the smartest person on the SA forums?

Note about Rules So this is a completely new game and new system. We want to be pretty sparse with the rules but also want it to feel fair. So there is a possibility of rules being adjusted after a few matches if problems are starting to arise. This may involve changes in IRC rooms or communications, but shouldn't be huge aspects of the game. I just ask for your patience if things aren't perfect right at the start and I am more than willing to listen to feedback from players and viewers (I'm sure I'll regret that sentence). I'm sure there will be a few bumps but I want to make sure that the game is enjoyable for all involved. If any rules are changed I will make a post about them with in it so you are sure not to miss it, as well as updating the OP. Thread should be opening up in less than 2 hours!

Hello and welcome to Awful Genius Game. You have been chosen because you all possess great abilities at deduction, logic, writing lots of words, and being funny shitposters. All of these skills will be put to the test over the coming weeks as you battle against each other in a series of games that will test the limits of your very mind and soul. To start you have all been given 1 garnet. At the end of the game a winner will claim all the garnets which will be cashed out at a rate of $1 per garnet. You're all playing for a current pool of $12. Big money, I know.
