Three Stripes!

... yeah, ok, I'll pick an actual option.

Voting for Radmin, because after that sick line he deserves to win.

>>690929
I was going to vote Sevener, but then I saw your post and wholeheartedly agree.

Im gonna have to say Radmin just for that whole thing in last post

Definitely Radmin.

Keep in mind that those four are going to complete the competition regardless. We're just choosing who to hang with, make them look like a star or discover backstory or whatever.

Your name is Radmin, and you are currently in the process of both dying and staring at the smug ass that caused the process. Is he looking at you? Hard to tell, but he better not be ignoring you before you're even dead.

You currently possess three seconds remaining in this stage, two middle fingers, and a functioning mouth (which, up until recently, was an uncommon possession). These can be combined to lay down a devastating one liner to the glitching bastard.

>>691012
"Strike me down and I will return more powerful than you can imagine!"

It worked once before. Let's make a pattern of snatching victory in defeat.

You're already dressed and presenting as the big ham, commit.

Don't worry, buddy. Surely the system won't let you stay dead if Glitcher cheated you into it.

So, you can just swear that you'll find a way to come back to life, and pay him what you owe him for doing this to you.

>>691012
Also, man, what a jerk, after you spent all that time alone dencrypting those logs together.

"Hey! Buddy you better watch your back cause in the end, Death dosen't bargain" and then leave off with the 1 finger salute.

>>691012
How about "I give your betrayal... two fingers up."

>>691012
"Morituri Te Salutant!" and then give him the double bird.

Flip off everyone... EVERYONE!

>>691012
"If this is how you make friends, buddy, no wonder nobody likes you."

>>691028
Yes, salute him.

"Seriously Glitcher? I -JUST- got brought back."
Flip him off with both hands.

"This is my confetti to you, glitchfuck." Flip him off as you turn into pixels confetti.

No words necessary. Only middle fingers.

That's why you don't feel the need to address Rulekeeper, as you have confidence you don't need to."

"You know I don't stay dead for long, glitcher, I just come back even stronger! So let's have a fanfare, I even have confetti!" you say, flicking your dying debris at the glitcher. "If this is how you make friends, then it's no wonder nobody likes you!"
>"Alison likes me."
"All that means is that you exist!"

Glitcher appeared to take that to heart more than expected! You would feel bad, but your heart lost the capacity for pity after he stabbed the back of it.

You lose the ability to speak, but the important parts of your body linger the longest. The remainder of a surprisingly long three seconds is spent blindly and silently sending off your salutations, setting your birds free, and performing a long combo of double flips.

>"Hi, Radmin."
"Rulekeeper, hello! So how're we gonna deal with getting me back to where I was?" You say, having the feeling that Rulekeeper immediately came to you upon death.
>"I was thinking of something else. How would you like to become an administrator again instead?"
"I will answer that by saying that since you asked me such a thing, I won't settle for anything less than being an administrator again by next stage!"

You have to relent that your powers of detecting lies are unsurpassed, and so you are told the overview of the contest. The contest is made of 8 rounds, every round has 8 entrants and the top four in each go to the next round. You will enter round 5 of 8, which is hardly a boost, considering that administrators before stage 6 were hapless buffoons. Except for yourself, of course, who died to Alison-based shenanigans.

>"Do you have any questions before we begin?"

Your imminent domination of the entire contest is enough to get you to consider yourself an administrator again, and so the only question that comes to you is where to retrieve your top hat. However, perhaps some less important question can be found, such as if you even pull off the top hat look.

Yeah better ask Rulekeeper if she likes you better with hats or without hats.

Maybe you can talk her into getting shopkeep over here so you can get dressed up before starting the competition up.

>>691074
How about:
What's the purpose of the contest, and does it have something to do with Glitcher killing you?

>>691074
So when did you and glitcher start working together? After your first kiss?

>>691074
Flirt furiously with Rulekeeper

Wow, Glitcher killed you just in time to take part in a come-back-from-the-administrative-dead contest? What luck!!

Ask if this being an administrator contest means it has any different rules from a contestant contest.

How did administrators get chosen to pass stages, anyway? Were you performance-reviewed by some mysterious third entity? Did you have votes where you couldn't vote for yourself? Anything like that?

>Glitcher appeared to take that to heart more than expected!
Ouch, poor Glitcher. After all that work we did to make him feel better.

(Hopefully Alison or Rulekeep will remind him that Rulekeep likes him).

>the only question that comes to you is where to retrieve your top hat
Obviously, in the final or penultimate round of your trip back. Gotta save the transformation for when it'll have the most impact.

>You have to relent that your powers of detecting lies are unsurpassed
So... you can tell there's a massive lie of omission here, right? She's not telling you something important. Maybe more than one something important.

>"Do you have any questions before we begin?"
How or why are you doing this? I doubt the current crop of losers admins who were too chicken to CAI battle are willing to be replaced. Or are we allowed to make new brackets now? Or did Corruptor or someone go and murder the loser admins and they need to be replaced?

What the heck is up with Glitcher? Is he going around murdering people at random, or is it just you he decided to mess with. Or just admins. Or just Alison friends? This is more Alison shenanigans, isn't it.

>"Do you have any questions before we begin?"
Oh wait, best question:

...why wasn't Glitcher glitching? There were none of those floaty things.

Wait a minute. Are you and Glitcher a thing now?

Thats why you didnt yell at him for killing me. You are up to no good together.

Well good for you. Just make sure you are using plenty of protection if you know what I mean.

Think of me when you are looking for a best man at your wedding. Although I should probably appologize to Glitcher for what I said earlier.

>>691089
>apologizing to Glitcher
Nah

There is absolutely no need whatsoever to question whether you could pull off the hat look, you absolutely can, get your hat ASAP.

>How did administrators get chosen to pass stages, anyway? Were you performance-reviewed by some mysterious third entity?
That's correct. You've heard people call it the "Upper Echelon", but it doesn't matter. It's probably the same entity that Administrators, especially later ones, appeal to to change the rules and eventually make the rulekeeper.

One of the most infuriating aspects about the whole idea is that you were never given feedback, not you, the supervisors, the barons, the watchers, or anyone. If one slacked off and they died then it was no mystery, but if someone did their best and didn't make it, no one knew why they died and some other competent fellow went on.

At least, there was no direct feedback. It was a safe assumption that everyone died for consistent reasons, if sometimes arbitrary ones, and so educated guesses could be formed as to what that so called Upper Echelon looks out for in a system contestant.

"First off, I want to see Shopkeep so I can change my attire! Later, perhaps, when it's appropriately dramatic? Do I look good in hats?"
>"I don't have an opinion on them."
"Is that so? Well the answer, my dear, is yes! Therefore, I will put it on as soon as I am allowed. In the meanwhile, why yes, I do have a question! I'm wondering just how convenient this is, that glitcher killed me right in time for a sudden administrator resurrection contest."
>"... that isn't your concern, but if you want, I can send you back to stage 8 proper."
"No, no! Did glitcher go on some rampage, or was it just me?"
>"You... it's really not your concern, Radmin."
"But since I am to become an administrator again, it is! My question is, how long have you two and glitcher been together?"
>"We've only talked."
"Ha ha, you were right, you have not gotten any better at lies! Not even a little!"
>"Did you have any more questions, Radmin?"

>You can tell there's a massive lie of omission here, right? She's not telling you something important.
You know for a fact there is something fishy about all of this. It's probably more Alison shenanigans, but if those shenanigans turn you back into an administrator again, you'll play along as long as you're debriefed at the end. On second thought, you do want to pry.

"So tell me, what is the goal of bringing back administrators?"
>"They're just glorified contestants, and so should be given the same chance regular contestants had to be brought back."
"Really? Did corruptor murder all the present administrators?"
>"No, I just gave you the reason."
"And those administrators, they agreed to this?"
>"Yes."
"Allow me a guess- you brought back a thousand Alison's and dumped them all in the administrator's rooms?"
>"That idea occurred to me."

You have to clarify to yourself that while you saw some competency in other administration beyond stage 5, clearly the current administration isn't a part of that. The rulekeep didn't even last two stages before developing a personality and sense of deception.

"You know, I couldn't help but notice that Glitcher... he wasn't glitching. Oh, his form was a little shaky as always, but there was no matter artifacting."
>"What of it?"
"I think you and the Glitcher may have gotten to know each other pretty well from all this."
>"I did not want to."
"Mhm, but you did."
>"Yes, I did."
"Well, I was considering flirting with you, but it looks like you may already have a match, hmm?" There was no consideration of flirting, but fishing for responses has been a common tactic.

You get teleported away onto a table with 8 other players plus Rulekeeper, placed right next to some guy with both a directionless stare and a lack of personal space. You don't recognize your close-quarters buddy or any other administrators, which isn't surprising, considering that most of your correspondence was both semi anonymous and only a fraction of however many stage 5s and before there were.

>"Round 5 will begin. Half of you are joining us as stage 5 administrators, the other half are from various stages who have made it through round 4.

Poker. One of the common games that the administrators passed the time with when things were calm. There wasn't much to bet with, though.

The Rulekeeper passed out the deck.

You always had trouble keeping a pokerface, and that won't do you any favors here starting off strong with three jacks, a four and a five.

Ante is 10 somethings, and so you have 90 remaining.

>left of the dealer
Us first then huh? Start off slow with a raise of 15. If all 8 players are in, then you've almost certainly tripled your starting money. Any suits?
When the time comes redraw the 4 and the 5. No need for bluffing this hand.

Rulekeeper is most certainly Alisoning it up so you are guaranteed to win. I mean she had her boyfriend go personally kill you so she could get you back in the Admin game.

So go all in and throw out 4 of your cards. Keep only the five cause its your lucky number.

Playing normal poker is for suckers who dont have a Alisoned up dealer on there side.

Raise your shirt and get a strip poker game going. Getting Rulekeeper to blush is the new goal.

>>691434
Sounds about right.

>>691446
No no, if we make it obvious there's cheating going on, everyone will get really pissed off at Rulekeeper and screw her over! She might go so far as to choose someone other than Radmin in her anger.

No need to raise suspicions, do as >>691434 says.

A poker face is traditionally a neutral expression, but if you can continually hold a smug grin (I know you can, there's always something to be smug about) it'll work just as well. As for strategy... win all the chips! (I'm garbage at poker)

>>691428
I say make a bluff out of the truth, and GO ALL IN! They'll never expect it. Okay, no half in.

>>691458
Fuck YEAH Strip POKER!
Woooo!
Throw them off their game, Radmin. Why do you think we BOUGHT those fly clothes.
Rulekeeper, let's get some shots and cigarette's up in this bitch. Oh, did I say Cigarette's? I meant CIGARS!

>>691491
>>691458
What are you saying?! Radmin isn't like rulekeeper, he has class, it'll take more than a game of poker to get him to strip.

How good are you at multitasking? You could try think of some topic to talk about that would make your fellow players start worrying, if there was one that wouldn't also make you worry or divert your concentration.

Like, if you're all aiming to be administrators again, you'd want to be up on current events, mysteries, et cetera. You are already, since you were only just alive in the latest stage as a player, but some of these guys were sent to the dead zone much further back. It would be courtesy to avoid Rulekeeper gossip, but perhaps there are other rumors and shenanigans you've heard tell of, that you've had time to think about and settle in your mind, that they wouldn't?

>>691425
Is that a dolphin admin next to you?

>>691492
No, we're gonna win, so obviously strip poker means taking the clothes off all these less important individuals!

Maybe wait a round or two to introduce the idea. When a few people have run low on somethings, betting their clothes to stay in the game will suddenly seem a lot more reasonable to them.

It's sure something.

>Rulekeeper is most certainly Alisoning it up so you are guaranteed to win.
You've started to have your suspicions, but were the current administrators so incompetent as to bring in an ultra powerful entity that was so quickly swayed to fight for the team that they were meant to fight?

You wouldn't put it past those admins.

On the other hand, you know you're better than this, and can beat these guys fair and square. You don't know how you feel about it if the Rulekeeper is card sharking.

Well, it's not as though she handed you 4 kings.

"Lets keep this game swift. I bet 30!" You say, deciding to keep a smug expression throughout the entire match.

5 people are cowards and fold, while two others go along with it.

"Let me guess. Round 3?" you ask the quasi-dolphin.
>"Eh?"
"You came from stage 3, and managed to get yourself up to round 5 here?"
>"Huh, naw, I'm from stage 5, I just got here."
"No top hat, eh? Thought we all used those by that point."
>"I thought I'd be more approachable without it."

You send in your four and five for an exchange, and you get two 7's back. The temptation to screw around with this game increases, which is a shame, because you felt pretty amped about going through a tough contest with a real reward. Then again, a full house isn't beyond reasonable luck, either.

You have 60 somethings remaining for the second betting round. The pot has 170 somethings.

Eh, don't screw around. It would be tragic to end up dead again on the off chance you misread what Rulekeeper is doing, and even if she is cheating, that doesn't mean you'll win every hand. She apparently has to at least keep up the appearance of a fair game... for whatever reason. I mean, otherwise she could just declare whoever she wanted a winner and be done with it, right?

Just because Rulekeeper is probably cheating wildly on the back end does not mean it will not be a hard contest later.

Alison does have a bunch of Admins on her side and there are only so many slots open for the current stage. So once you get to the last stages you will be competing against your own allies for the privilege of being on the final team.

So if you want to mess with Rulekeeper and make the game weird this would be the time to do it.

If you go in too hard right away, the others might fold. I'd say lay a trap, go in low first, as if your new cards weren't as good as you hoped but still maybe good enough to win. Then one of the others will probably raise, and you can raise again. More money that way.

Tell the dolphin(?) that his hatlessness got you to talk to him, so it seems his tactic to make himself more approachable worked perfectly. How did the hat/suit look develop, did some admin just see another in it and go "hey that looks good" and then another did and another and it sort of ended up as a uniform?

As for the current admins and rulekeeper, it seems they did something more like summoning her than creating her, so wherever she comes from is probably somewhere down in the guts of this whole contest thing. So, whatever she is was designed for how the contest was supposed to go originally. Considering how off the rails everything's gone, it's not a surprise she's switched tactics. Like, if her job is to keep things fair, and the whole contest is now unfair, then obviously she's going to start working against the unfair contest system. Wouldn't blame them, though. They've likely also figured out that everyone in this whole thing is doomed at the end, if things run as they're "supposed" to, and trying to do things that other cycles probably didn't do is the only potential way out.

It's interesting that she can create opportunity for previous administrators to come back. It suggests that the "Upper Echelon"'s decisions on what admins pass through isn't top priority. Actually, maybe Rulekeeper could know something about how admins "win" their "stages"? You could ask her.

>>691520
Bet your hat against the dolphin

>>691520
Bet 10 more, for a total of 50. Half your starting funds.

> I bet 30
>5 people are cowards and fold
That's kinda exactly what I was trying to avoid. Every person that folds out is a lot of missed chips. The longer the game goes on, the less chips your opponents have(and if we are getting dealt good cards, the more likely we are to be found out) and the cagier they get. It's a lot better to bait them when you know you have a good hand than to bluff on a medium.

If we're playing by regular 5 card rules, this is the last betting round; might as well bet 30 more. *and* your hat. If they're out, you get 40 chips total from each one. If they're in, they are unlikely to beat your hand, and it is *very* demoralizing to lose a symbol of authority.

(so no suits, do we not get to see how many cards opponents discard? Makes it harder to tell if they're bluffing.)

>were the current administrators so incompetent as to bring in an ultra powerful entity that was so quickly swayed to fight for the team that they were meant to fight?
They invested most of their power into an intelligent entity and then let it interact with Alison. If they understand the concept of social engineering, they would have realized that was a bad idea.

(Come to think of it, Alison letting herself die was a lot like what Radmin did in safe zone 5 to kick the rest of the administration into action)

>5 people are cowards and fold, while two others go along with it.
Something to keep in mind here is that the goal isn't to win, but to not lose. That means the five who just folded actually did the smart thing, since the two who didn't fold and lose the hand are more likely to take up two of the loser slots.

Suggest to Rulekeeper that whoever gets second through fourth place should be put at a slight disadvantage next round. That should encourage them to be a bit bolder.

>Suggest to Rulekeeper that whoever gets second through fourth place should be put at a slight disadvantage next round.
How do you get a set disadvantage in Poker? Your only disadvantages are what you're dealt.

>>691624
I highly doubt the admin contest consists of just poker. Even if it does, though, then Rulekeeper could just give them less somethings than everyone else.

>How did the hat/suit look develop, did some admin just see another in it and go "hey that looks good" and then another did and another and it sort of ended up as a uniform?
Seeing other administrators visually was the exception, not the rule. Communication was done through command based correspondence, which while early on was available through preset words, by stage 4 they were more or less able to communicate freely.

One administrator kept talking of an administrative alliance, and he apparently wore a top hat. You wouldn't be able to recognize him, as you never even spoke to him directly. However, he is one of the original founders of any kind of alliance and communication between the administration, and even if no alliances stuck for long, his attire stuck. He became known as Top Hat Prime.

>Like, if [the Rulekeeper's] job is to keep things fair, and the whole contest is now unfair, then obviously she's going to start working against the unfair contest system.
Maybe Rulekeeper should be introduced to the Bandit.

>It's interesting that she can create opportunity for previous administrators to come back.
From what you gleaned, she didn't make the opportunity, but the admins had to at least give their blessing, and somehow agreed.

"Stage 5, huh?" You keep talking to the quasi-dolphin. "Well, I talked to you, so apparently it worked like you thought! That, or it's cause you're sitting next to me. You have to keep that possibility in mind, since that didn't get you to stage 6, huh?"
>"No, obviously it wasn't the kind of administrator the system wanted to keep around. What killed you, do you know?"
"Yeah, I got Alison'd."
>"Wait, in stage 5 - wait, are you the guy that let himself get killed by Alison so the rest of us would stop squabbling?"
"Yeah, that's me."
>"Well, that didn't work out too well either, heh."
"It did for Alison, and it's gonna work out fine for me, too! Now, I'll bet... yeah just 10 actually."

The couple of people still in the round call it but don't bet anything more. Flush, and a three pair. The guy with the flush only drew one card, so he was banking on getting that flush. Too bad he got it and still lost.

You get 200 somethings, for a total of 250.

Ante is still 10.

You're dealt 4 kings.

"I bet my hat."
"Radmin, first of all, first player to bet goes clockwise, therefore, uhhh... player 2, who I will call Hatless, is betting first. Secondly, a hat is not a valid betting object."
"It's something, isn't it? 1 something."
>"I thought hats were important to us." some guy down the table says.
"Good point, it should count as 1000 somethings. I'm betting it no matter what it's worth to the poker hand." you say.
"It's worth... Your hats are worth 20 somethings." says the Rulekeeper.
>"What if we don't have a hat?" asks the one who will be forever known as Hatless, because he's not going to have a hat for long!
"You have one now."
>"Oh..."
>"You're also first this round." Rulekeep says to Dolphin.

"Hold it. Rulekeep. How about we get some bolder bets going by saying that people who end up 2nd to 4th here will be at a disadvantage next round?"
"Tempting, but it's rather late for that, sorry. However, that does give me another idea. Someone with 300 Somethings will be able to purchase a ticket from the Shopkeep to get to stage 7. Then will then be distributed... let's say that 50% will be distributed in proportion to each individual's wealth - therefore, a player with 50 somethings will get twice the share as the person with 25 - and then the remaining half of the buyout player's wealth will be distributed evenly towards everyone. Players who hit 0 are not knocked out, but will half to wait until a player buys their way out, and they will not receive anything from the initial 50% divvy. First four to buy their way out win."

The table goes around betting. It's all call until the 5th person around the table bets 20, and every single player from 6th to 8th calls it. It goes back to you, belonging right at #1.

The pot has 120 somethings.

You have 241 Somethings, and 1 of those somethings is a sense of being patronized by being handed ridiculous winning hands like you couldn't win this thing fair and square.

>>691712
Hmm. Leave the bet at 20 and discard the junk card and one of your Kings. Give Rulekeep a Look when you do so.

>It's worth... Your hats are worth 20 somethings.
That's it, you established a precedent. People are totally gonna bet the rest of their clothes when they get desperate.

>1 of those somethings is a sense of being patronized by being handed ridiculous winning hands like you couldn't win this thing fair and square.
Well if you really wanted to prove you can do it, you could discard some of your winners the next time it's card exchange time, deliberately sabotaging yourself, and rely on people skills / bluffing to get the others to lose money.

Rulekeeper is still new and young and has never felt the rush of putting her life on the line that you get as a contestant. So she probably thinks she is doing you a favor by making things easy.

To her you winning is the goal so she will take the easiest route there. She probably has never felt the satisfaction of cleverly outwitting a opponent. Although I bet she is happy when she designs a nice stage.

If you wanted to make things interesting you could trade in 300 somethings and then not turn in the voucher. Could then use the voucher to make side bets.

Honestly messing with the other contestants does not feel right. It would be one thing in a fair contest but as things stand its like toying with there lives. You are sort of in on the scam and there is not much fun to a rigged contest. I would just win quick and then have a chat with Rulekeeper before the next round.

Well, if you want a challenge you can continue to annoy rulekeeper. Mayby tell you made her boyfriend cry.

What is the worst that could happen. After all in worst case you can always apologize if you're proven wrong of your superiority. But that will never happen, right? You're Radmin after all.

>she didn't make the opportunity, but the admins had to at least give their blessing, and somehow agreed.

Of course, but the possibility was still there. Even if it needed Rulekeeper and the administrators together, their collective decision was given priority over whatever normally decides that admins go on. Like, what would stop Rulekeeper and admins from bringing back all the previous admins, and making it so that their progress is decided by something else? So long as the new admins selected each stage kept agreeing to it, this "Upper Echelon"'s decisions could be overturned entirely.

As for the poker, you still can't be sure you're being favored. That's the thing about randomness. Keep taking your good fortune and content your desire to play games by working on your opponents psychologically. Ask if anyone's heard rumors of anything weird or interesting going on.

Say, how did things go for you during the boredom-suicide stage?

>Say, how did things go for you during the boredom-suicide stage?
Actually, Radmin missed that stage, he was dead then. That was in stage 7, and he was brought back with the special resurrections at the end of stage 7.

(ha ha ha) If/when we win the hats this round, give hatless his new hat back. Tell him he looks better with it on. Then wear all the other hats at once. They will fear your hat tower.

>>691713
Same, but instead of a Look, make an offhand comment about Poker being a game all about subtlety.

Raise 5. The sooner you get some idiots to go all-in, the sooner this farce will be over.

>Say, how did things go for you during the boredom-suicide stage?
That was a too slowly paced stage to include the likes of you. You spent it better being dead, leaving it to others to resurrect you at the end.

>How did you beat out the other yous in the past selves clone stage? You would have been alive for that.
First off, one of you was mopey as heck. Never would've made it. Second off, one of you thought the administrative look was silly, and just wore it to fit in. Clearly a fake, and a lame one at that. A third one knew he was a fake pretty quick, so he agreed to test his hand in the ghost contest. The fourth one was tougher, but he never shut his mouth and interrupted you frequently when you spoke on the edges. The ghosts agreed that he won the contest of huge jackass, and you won the actual competition.

You're tempted to raise 5, but then it's just a whole other trip around the table watching people squirm, so you just throw in your hat.
"Let's make it more interesting than somethings. You four who just bet 20, take twenty back in exchange for your hats!"

People are clearly too nervous in this game to do anything but what they're told to do, and too nervous to come up with interesting somethings themselves!

However, your own lack of nervousness is undermined by the possibility you're in no danger whatsoever.

The remaining 3 players call in with their hats as well.

"Give me two cards, Rulekeeper!" you say, throwing out your low card and one king.

"At least take your hat off, don't just say you bet it." says the Rulekeeper.
"Nah, I'm just going to get it back anyway." You're surprised the other administrators put theirs in the pile after you didn't, but it's appropriate.

Rulekeeper stares you down, rather unpleased. The discarded cards remain in a seperate pile, and you confirm that foul play is indeed happening as Rulekeep, from the original dealing hand, hands the exact same king back to you with a two, leaving you with 4 kings and a two.

Player 5 bets 20, and once again, player 6, 7 and 8 all call it.

You have 220 somethings, the pot contains 240, 160 of which are in the form of every single person's hat.

You can't help but notice that Shopkeep's available item is just that, a purchaseable item. This means that you have the freedom to, instead of losing your "money" and moving on, take every bit of somethings from everyone and buying all the tickets yourself. While messing with people's lives is hardly cool, it might be cooler to just end them here so they can quit hoping for a false dream!

It's a good thing you never had any such intention to flirt with the Rulekeeper, because it's clear that she does not understand your motivations or personality one bit, thinking that you want a free ride like this.

>>691914
Radmin, its at this point that you start folding like mad, stop looking at your cards, and just start taking after Alison and just fuck with everything this system is giving you.
Then when you have enough, buy a ticket, and throw it into the pile. Rulekeeper wants you to win, which means in order for you to have a challenge, you need to do something so stupid as that to have fun. People will go CRAZY once you bet the ticket.

And then you keep doing it, and doing it again. If you can't have fun with the game, have fun with the people, and that includes rulekeeper. So this does mean asking shopkeeper for drinks for the whole table, getting everyone piss drunk, maybe even Rulekeeper too, and having a time that way.

You know what. Fold next hand. Heck, you can sit out every single hand until the others knock themselves out.

Or display your hand then swap a couple. Something neat would be to swap your cards with The Dolphin Formerly Know as Hatless. I kinda wanna see how far you can push this.

>>691914
Well she's not backing down, is she. Tell her you'd like to talk to her in private after this round.

You know what's cooler than ending peoples' false hopes? Confronting the one responsible for those false hopes.

You're wanted for something, Radmin, but I very much doubt Rulekeep's intent is to make you happy. Clearly she noticed your ill treatment of her friend-who-is-a-boy and has decided to punish you for your ungrateful cruelty. You have to apologize to Glitcher and tell him that Alison doesn't just like people simply for existing.

Well, I mean, she does, but you can get achieve dislike. There are a few people. And some people she likes especially, and Glitcher is one of those.

Anyway, let the other players have their dreams for a little while. These contests don't seem like they'll be too unpleasant, so it's a little slice of time with a sense of purpose for them, a little dream before going back to ghostliness. And hey, for all you know, there will be an open slot at the top. No-one's immune from massive screw-ups around here.

Keep teasing Rulekeeper. She is going to make you win one way or another so might as well enjoy things.

Will be a good way of getting a feel for her personality. Alison obviously got to her if he is hooked up with Glitcher but she is still a bit of a wild card. If she is breaking the rules now what other sort of stuff might she be capable of?

If the end result of this contest is a bunch of Alison admins working together with her to break the last few stages then you had better make sure she is someone that follows Alisons ideals before you hand her ultimate power.

So horde hats and get yourself a pile of tickets to bet with. Show Rulekeeper that there are more ways to play the game than she imagined.

Collecting all the money so no one else can afford to move on seems like a lot of work.

The sooner you get out of this card game, the sooner you'll get to have a chat between rounds with Rulekeep and ask her to ease up a little.

Don't forget to wear a suit made of hats in the next one.

Oh, trying to eliminate everyone else is more the way a Contestant thinks. As an Administrator, shouldn't you be more interested in making other people work for you?

lets not annoy Rulekeeper, win this round then buy your way out of here.

>As an Administrator, shouldn't you be more interested in making other people work for you?
Everyone except other administrators. When everyone is an administrator, the title means nothing more than a glorified contestant.

Some efficiency minded part of you wants to stop fooling around and keep going through the stages.

However, you also want to learn more about Rulekeeper, and when you think about it, this game of poker is going to be the last time half of these people are alive. It's not a bad last game, so it may as well last.

The hats are too important to fold the hand, but if you get another good one, you're going to.

You call it. Hatless calls it, the next two fold.

You slap down your kings, and take the whole pot.

>"Goddamn, twice in a row?" another inconsequential individual says.
"Some people got all the luck! Shopkeeper, get over here! Hatless, here's your hat back."
>"Why?"
"You look good in it."

>"You wanna buy a ticket out of here?" asks shopkeep.
"Yeah."

Item attained: Ticket
Travel to the next round. Usable any time.

"Hey Rulekeep, can we talk a minute?"
"No. Not unless there are broken rules."

....

"Are you going?" asks Rulekeeper?
"To the next round of poker! How much are tickets worth to bet?"you say, to a mix of various shocked responses.
"Nothing. They're worth nothing for betting purposes, Radmin."
"Cool. Go ahead and deal the next hand, then. I like poker, ex-administrators!" you say to their questioning judgement.

The betting goes from players 3 to 8. Player 3 and 4 call, with only 10 somethings left after ante, and Player 5 raises exactly 10.

"Bless that cold heart of yours." you say to 5.

The remainder of players call.

You've got a straight flush. You're equally tempted between folding right away, and betting the ticket right away. You have 220 somethings and a ticket,

Radmin, buddy. Rulekeeper has been dealing with contestants for a whole stage. Even at this late stage, you can bet that there's someone trying some crazy counter intuitive thing all the time. Anything less than you deliberately killing yourself is going to entirely fail to surprise her.

>>692395
Make your message clear, without talking to her. Bet the ticket, then fold. Tell the others it didn't feel fair to get the ticket out of pure luck.

>>692395
Fold. If you reveal this hand, it will make things incredibly obvious and that's definitely something you don't need right now.

Fold. Then fold again next great hand you get. Only stay in if you get an ok hand.

>Travel to the next round. Usable any time
It doesnt say travel to round 6, it says travel to the *next* round. Usable at any time means we can use one right after another.(before we're stripped of items of course) My god we can exploit this.

Raise 1.

>>692395
Fold. Don't bet the ticket.

Hey, can't have all the luck.

If you win all the tickets you can make your own game. So keep at it.

Plus you should at least try to see if you can use them to skip to the last admin stage straight away.

Rulekeeper does not seem impressed with your shenanigans though. Whatever Alison did to win her over must have been impressive.

You're not sure you'll be able to use them in quick succession before being stripped of cards, considering the Rulekeeper has the power to backpedal on it.

"I'll fold."

The next three players looked like they were ready to fold, but go in, and players 3 and 4 reach 0.

Players around the table then go trading in cards.

Betting resumes with player 5. He goes all in.

Player 6 folds, but player 7 matches it, also going all in.

>"Also." he says. "I throw in my tie for the main pot, since the others all have theirs to bet with."
"..... ten somethings." says the Rulekeeper.

Player 8 calls, you are folded, Hatless folds. 3, 4, and lastly 5, all put in their ties to the original pot to match.

Player 7 slams his cards down. "Straight flush." he says, revealing cards 7 to jack of hearts.

Player 8 flings his cards in disbelief. 4 Fives.

Player 3, so sure of himself, puts forth another straight flush. Cards 9 to King of clubs.

Player 4 simply drops his cards and his jaw, revealing a full house.

Player 5, to everyone's half surprise, has a royal flush of diamonds. He ends up with 290 somethings including his ties, and one ticket.

>"I'm coming back for my hat, Radmin!" he says. She? You can never tell until corrected.

Everyone but you, who suspected from the beginning, stares at the Rulekeeper for some kind of explanation.

"Players 3, 4, 7 and 8 are out. We have our winners."

Man the second you got a ticket Rulekeeper did not care about anything else. She was all business.

So that's 2 out of 4 so don't they reset the pool and keep going until two more ticket get sent out?

Donate all but one of your spare hats to dolphin before you leave. Then keep the spare one so whats her face can try and win it back later.

>everyone had great hands
Huh. Looks like Rulekeep wasn't just cheating to make sure you had a winning hand, she was making sure everyone had good cards to make them confident, and inflate bidding.

(...or the grasping for a non-cheat solution is she never said you weren't playing with more than one deck).

>royal flush of diamonds
I'm gonna guess their hand wasn't that good before you folded. (Unless you annoyed Rulekeep enough to change her plans or you were wrong the whole time). That would have beat you!

>>692459
Yeah, yeah, keep it in your pants, Tie-rific.

>>692462
Players 3, 4, 7, and 8, you're not out, you still have your clothes, right? You didn't go ALL IN.
Are are they naked, Radmin?

>>692464

Good point they still have there dignity to sell off.

>>692463
Or... maybe their hand was that good even before you folded. Now that you have the pass to move on, it serves Rulekeep's purpose if she takes all your money so you can't dick around anymore.

Holy shit guys, we'd better watch the fuck out for Player 5. They've got at least 3 neck things - their importance levels must be off the charts.

>>692461
Tell her she needs to check her random number generator. Refuse to use your ticket.

Then propose a new round, where you are the dealer, since obviously there's something wrong with Rulekeep. The cards are physical objects, aren't they?

Hats are worth 20, while ties are worth 10, so trade her hat back for two ties. Make shoulder tassels.

"Well, that was some odd luck! I don't even know if I want to use my ticket!"
"It doesn't matter, Radmin. Four players were eliminated, the other four win. The ticket was just a way to leave the game early and keep a decent amount of somethings in play."
"So be it. Then, I shall keep my own hat and player 5's. Hatless, have the rest!"

Sure enough, your ticket evaporates right as you get sent off to the next area. You'll just have to wait.

Momentary Character Change to Glitcher

"Oh hi Rulekeeper what's up?"
"I'm having trouble taking this seriously. I thought I could use this to run a stage while taking it easy, but I'm unable to like this."
"Are Alison's administrators in there yet?"
"Yes. Radmin and King are moving to round 6. King will meet Sixer in his portion, and Radmin will meet with Sevener next round."
"Want me to take over? I kinda want to fuck with Radmin."
"What? No. Well... not out of the question, but no. I may just be thinking about this wrong. The rounds have been easily riggable, but simple. Board games, card games, betting on made up contestants. It's straightforward enough that I feel like I should be taking this seriously, but since this whole thing is a farce, I can't."
"So what you need are more ridiculous competitions?"
"Maybe. Do you have any ideas?"

>>692600
You heard her, Glitcher! Cheer up your mopey straitlaced date. Help her loosen up a scootch. Give her a tickle, make her glitch a little.

(Cause it's adorable when she's got him straitened out and he's got her a little Glitched).

>"So what you need are more ridiculous competitions?"
Tag team luchador wrestling matches.

With smash style item and power up drops. (And you use unfair drops to rig the outcome if necessary).

So... something ridiculous, but which can still be rigged without people noticing. Something with an element of chance...

Oh! How about a dating game? Contestant-administrators are sorted into competing groups of five. A person from somewhere in the people reserves (Ghosts? Admins-contestants who have already gotten into the later stages? Past cycle people? Actual contestants, if they're between stages at the moment?) is brought out to be the "date", and the contestants take turns answering questions and showing off and so on, and at the end the random person chooses which one they want to hang out with for an "evening". That person wins, and as a bonus for them (and payment for the random date's participation), they do actually get to have a little date-stage with some things laid on for them to do whatever they like together until it's time to go again.

Doesn't have to be romantic, of course, just fun hangouts would be fine.

You rig it by choosing a person whose tastes are already disposed toward the person you want to win, or by putting the person who you want to win against "randomly" chosen competitors who are terrible at getting others to like them. Or both.

I have no idea how Admin levels normally go Rulekeeper but if you give them contestant levels you have a better chance of being creative.

Plus most of the Admins we want at the end have contestant practice so will not have to cheat as much.

How about a ridiculous fishing competition. Give them boats and poles and a crazy lake with crazy fish and then give out prizes for the biggest and rarest fish caught. Bring in a panel of celebrity judges to narrate the whole thing. Whoever has the most points by the end of the day moves on.

Easy to make sure our people win by leading the best fish to them if they don't top the score by themselves.

Am for games where our people can probably win by themselves so any cheating you have to do is minor. If you take all the risk out of the game from the start its going to be boring and obviously a setup. Once we get to the old current admins you will want to make sure you have enough practice so they cant claim you cheated.

Character Change to Radmin

You're seated in a lonely chair with nothing around you, at least until the Rulekeeper shows up.

"Hello. Radmin."
"Long time no see, Rulekeeper!"
"For our next round, a dating game."
"Do tell."
"You will be grouped with three other administrators. Two contestants from past stages will be brought in, and they will take turns asking one or more of you a question. At the end, the two contestants will choose an administrator they would like to be with for an evening. That administrator will go on to the next round. Any questions?"

More silly ideas: (which we probably don't need anymore).

Strip tease competition.

Flour babies. Only instead of a flour bag, the baby is an AI npc doggedly determined to get itself into trouble and/or hurt. Admin is rated on how well they protect and/or raise the little bugger.

>dating contest judged by two contestants
Well this stage will be hella easy for King. Rulekeep just has to give him Mint and Pepper.

I'm trying to imagine who would be the funniest date for Radmin. Alison is too obvious / too easy. Supervisor might be a shoe in for him (maybe?) but she's past system, not a past contestant. Succubus might be funny, but unless stage 8 killed her, she's not eligible. Uh if it's people on Alison's Team who actually interacted with Radmin... No Pansy? (That would be an interesting trainwreck). Scanner? (But she's OTP-ed with Guardsman). Maybe Sweatermouse could get brought back to help out like she wanted, since she probably didn't get a place in Butter's emblem.

>Any questions?
So your newfound romance has made you a Matchmaker, now?

At least you're making the contests more interesting!

You know, the stakes won't be valued as real for the judge contestants if they know there won't be a real date afterwards.

>>692689
Yeah, is it gonna be rigged this time? With your charming personality, you won't need any help! (actually Radmin might need all the help he can get here)

Hmmm seems like I wasn't the only one to dislike that last farce of a stage. Now this is something I can have fun with.

That being said a dating game miss Rulekeeper? Seems like someone has thoughts of love on her mind. You should let Glitcher know before its to late.

Anyways the game will need a audience of course. And a witty host that can run the proceedings. Oh and the date has to be real. Cant have a proper contest without a prize. So make sure the date is special somehow so people really want to win it. And the loser has to get a consolation prize like a boxed set of the home game or something. You could have shopkeeper in a side room to show off the prizes before the game started.

I know the real prize is surviving but that would make a creepy sort of dating game. So try to downplay that part of it as much as you can.

You should take off your top hat so that you're more approachable.

"Thank you, cohost. A round of applause for everyone, please." Rulekeep asks the audience.

You hear a few claps, perfectly spaced apart and at varying volumes to show you what awkward confusion would be if it were a noise.

"Excellent, now let's begin, since we covered the rules well enough. We will start with Shellmeat with a full question round. You may ask one question, and all will answer."
>"Alright. I'll make the first one simple, mostly because I have no idea what is going on? If we were to date for an evening, how would you describe your ideal evening?"

You instantly and completely nail tuning out every single boring word your opponents say until it's your turn. You also take off your top hat to prepare a more approachable answer.

The top hat on your tail, of course.

>>693990
Playing tricks on people, captivating on their personality flaws, all in the name of a good time.

>If we were to date for an evening, how would you describe your ideal evening?
I have no idea how to answer this but I wanna say this: Preface your answer with "You and me, Sugarmeat?"

Describe perfectly the date that glitcher and rulekeeper went on. Do it in your sexy voice.

>>694017
Sorry, that was supposed to be Sugarshell, not sugarmeat. Should not suggest while tired.

Make sure to lounge on your podium while giving your answer to show you are much more easygoing and date-able than the other admins.

Half disappeared we don't know any of the datees, but this is too silly not to love.

>>693986
Hey Radmin, look, Glitcher's even less Glitchy now! Those two must have been at it again for him to have blown his load of glitches.

The cheating teleporting time-stopping lovebirds can do anything whenever they want!

...keep an eye on Rulekeep. See if she ever neglects to clean up any glitches that get on her.

>Shellmeat
She died in stage 4? I don't suppose she was from a bracket you oversaw, giving you any information you can use?

>If we were to date for an evening, how would you describe your ideal evening?
Man, trying to come up with something silly, appealing, and that appropriately plays to Radmin's massive ego is challenging.

"Well a personal victory over these chumps followed by a well earned reward is certainly a step in the right direction!

I think for an actual date, I'd push the rules as far they can go. If there's one thing I learned as an admin and contestant, it's to grab life when you, exploit the hell out of the rules, and have fun doing so.

We'll tour the most exotic and interesting locations our petty deities can show us! Sample the finest food and entertainment, provided by the ghosts of those most skilled in their arts! We'll push our hardwon good will as far as it will go, and relish it. Feel the thrill and live, ghost girl."

Alright Radmin the coolest thing you can do here is LEGITIMATELY win. So be radically charming!
Also you should probably pay a little bit of attention to what the other guys are saying so you don't wind up copying what someone else says by accident.

You know where the fanciest restaurants are, and where all the coolest attractions are in the safe zone. You can also give her a guided tour of the System, and... wait all the other admins can do that too. How about taking advantage of what already exists, describe how you would make stuff even better? Amusement park rides, fashion shows, shopping at a high-class mall, eating exotic foods, watching an actual movie, zooming through the countryside in an awesome car, watching the sunset together.


...Radmin, was Rulekeep really lying about not having any newfound romance?

This doesn't seem rigged at all! Better bring your A game, Radmin. But, be honest as well. I'm sure the other admins tried some sort of obvious pandering, which both of these judges seem like they'd see through.

So...

"My perfect evening? Well, first, we would enter some sort of competition together. Not something of consequence, just fun! And suitable for a date. A dancing contest, for example? In a perfect evening, of course, we would win, but I would like a challenge, and a loss to a legitimately superior rival wouldn't bother me too much! Then, to wind down from that shared excitement, we would go somewhere pleasant to relax. Perhaps a classy bar, with classy drinks, though not too proper or fussy, with good music and a good view of something watch - perhaps other people, also enjoying themselves. At some point in the evening, I would like a chance to impress you somehow! I would also like for us to do something you would particularly enjoy. Not, I have to admit, for your own sake - I don't know you well enough for that - but because I would feel I had been a failure if my dating partner hadn't had a good time as well. Finally, having gotten to know each other better by that point, we could top off with something we'll both enjoy, which I wouldn't presume to predict right now. A little spontaneity, leaving us both in a good mood going forward."

>Are you familiar with Shellmeat
You are not.

>Radmin, was Rulekeep really lying about not having any newfound romance?
For the moment, you'll have to be honest with yourself and acknowledge you've had no goddamn clue how to tell if Rulekeep is lying or not, you've just been kicking ass at guessing when to make her think you know. Educated guessing that is.

>Describe perfectly the date that glitcher and rulekeeper went on. Do it in your sexy voice.
You'd do this in a heartbeat, but you aren't aware of the specific details, unfortunately.

You enter a comfortable, lounging pose upon your pedestal for maximum repertoire. Or referrum. Or whatever that word was that meant getting comfortable with one another.

"You and me, Sugarshell? I'd have to one up these administrators, since we all have access to the fanciest restaurants, the coolest attractions, and any location that the safe zones up to this point have to offer and then some. Hence, after a personal victory after these chumps, I would settle for nothing less than pushing the rules of what an administrator can do! Having been both an admin and contestant before, I'm well versed in this. There will be playing tricks on people, games involving beating other people - for less than life or death stakes I'd add - all in the name of a good time! There'll be amusement park rides, bars - classy ones - movies, so on, and by the end we'll know so well what we both enjoy that we can do some of that, too!"
"I remind R- Four Earred Yapper that it is only for one evening, not an entire day." says Rulekeep.
"You doubt my insane pace?! I'll make sure that Sugarshell has enough experiences packed into this evening to match a fulfilling lifetime!"

"Next question." says Rulekeeper. "To everyone, from Refuge. Snakeman will go first this round."
>"....In 10 words or less, explain to me why I'd give a damn care to hang out with any of you guys for 5 minutes, let alone a whole evening."

You pay enough attention to glean the overall message. Snakeman says he'll go push for resurrecting the person who chooses him. Overly Big Top Hat claims while he can try for that as well, if he's chosen, he'll reward Refuge by effectively becoming Refuge's slave during the period.

>>694150
Ridiculous. Resurrection would just put him back in the Contest, and the next stage is going to be a deathtrap. He'd almost be better off staying dead.

No, you have a better idea. If he decides to spend those 5 minutes hanging out with you, you'll tell him a secret that no other Admin knows.

>>694150
Do you honestly have anything better to do, Refuge? I'm megalomaniacal, five minutes with me would be better than with any of these losers. What can you do with a slave for five minutes, in ANY of the stage safe zones? Well, sex, I guess. If that even appeals to you, Refuge. Face it, if it's only five minutes or an entire day, Yapper is the way to go.

10 words:

"If you wanted, I'd leave you. Better than being dead."

>"....In 10 words or less, explain to me why I'd give a damn care to hang out with any of you guys for 5 minutes, let alone a whole evening."
Play to what we learned about belenosian psychology. They want cool, powerful emperors to look up to, not whiny suckups who will grovel at their feet. In 10 words:

"Help a badass, tough emperor-like leader take control, not wusses."

>>694151
Oh, in 10 words or less:
"I'll tell you a secret no other Admin knows."

"I'm understanding, I'll gladly leave you alone if you wanted."

"You got anything better to do than hang out for five minutes with a winner? Besides, who said you'd have to stick around with me? You could wander off without me if you didn't care about secret administrator stuff! Better than being dead, not like I'd stop you from that, either!"
>"... how many words was that?" Refuge asks.
"Every word I cared to say!"

Glitcher, that traitorous warlock, starts talking.

>"And that's why he's the Four Earred Flapper, ladies gentlemen and whoever else that leaves out! Now it's time for the individual question round!" Shellmeat will go first. She'll ask each contestant a single question that they and they alone will answer."
>"Er, I don't have any questions prepared, could Refuge go first?" she asks.
>"No! Just spill out some words and see how they react."
>"Okay, uh...."

Sugarshell asks Too Big Top Hat why his Top Hat is Too Big, Three Tie why she's wearing Three Ties, and then turns to face you.

>"Four Ears, why do you have four ears?"

You've long since forgotten why you chose four ears or your form in general, but you're convinced that you had a reason. A magnificent reason, in fact, but since you've forgotten it, you'll just have to make up a new magnificent reason to match the original.

>>694367
The better to hear you, my dear.

It's part of my theme. If you want to see what else I have four of, you'll have to take me out to dinner first. *suggestive eyebrow wiggle*

Because you're part tozol, of course.

And the better to hold your hat on!

So I can have the pleasure of listening to myself talk, without losing out on hearing anything else!

I found it fashionable.

four dimensional hearing.

Other possible answers:

There was a two for one sale!

Ears are sensitive, yanno.

Four times the fun when you get someone to scratch your ears.

Some folks called you sly as a fox, others as intuitive as a wolf. You decided to take the best of both worlds and gave yourself a pair of each.

"Four times the ability to hear you and myself with, and four times the fun for things like ear scratching, and to show two times the slyness and intuition as most others! In fact, I have fours of multiple things, but that's another story." You wink. "Also all the better to keep my hat in place for maximum fashion, not as though I couldn't handle my top hat without a single ear."
>"That's a lot of reasons. Okay, then, Snakeman..." she goes to ask him about his body form as well, but the answer is far less interesting.

>"Refuge, go!" glitcher says.
"Okay, okay. I'm just going to ask everyone the same thing anyway. Starting with Four Ears. If you were in my position, what question would you ask, and to which person?"

>>694810
I would ask me why I'm so damn awesome.

>>694810
I'd ask what their stance towards contestants is.

Ok to Three Ties I would ask what is her plan for getting this back. Then twirl her hat around.

Then to Snakeman I would ask if he is in fact a secret salamander. And if so how can he live with the shame.

Top hat Alpha I would ask if he has crazy ears under that thing cause something has to be keeping that thing on.

And to me I would ask about the horrible dark secret behind the competitions. Cause you know I learned that stuff while working with Alison.

>>694810
The best answer will involve four questions, one to each person, because if you were in his position, you'd have four questions to ask!

Ask Triple Tie "What's the greatest challenge you've faced?"
Ask Snakeman "Who is your most valuable employee?"
Ask Top Hat Alpha "Who's the most interesting Contestant you've seen?"
Ask yourself "How can I be as cool as you?"
The answer to your own question, in case Refuge asks it, is "You can't! But if you try very hard, you could come close. Just give it your best shot, work hard on your outfit and always stay two steps ahead of everyone else! Then taunt them when you win." You know, actual advice on how to be cool and awesome.

He proceeds to ask the three lamest administrators why they're so damn awesome.

All you hear is the sub-text saying that they're not.

>"Hey Flappy!" Glitcher says, and you find your surroundings spontaneously change with the feeling that some time has passed. "I interviewed Shellmeat and Refuge, and they both say you're literally the worst person they've ever seen! What've you gotta say about that?"

>>696339
I'd say you're pulling my leg, Glitcher.

I think you have been away from Rulekeeper for too long. You are starting to glitch up a bit again. Go get some time-freeze nookie before you fall apart lover boy.

Just make sure to invite me to the wedding and if your firstborn is a boy you should name him Radmin.

Oh and who cares what those two think about me. After Rulekeeper cheated me through the first round I got bored and started messing with things to keep it entertaining.

I'd say sorry for what I said earlier Glitcher, I was mad at you for obvious reasons and it wasn't true, she has standards and clearly likes you more than most other people she likes anyway.

(Then Glitcher will feel awkward and like he's been an ass, heh heh heh)

>>696339
Glitcher don't you know it's rude to shove disembodied robot cocks in people's faces.

>they both say you're literally the worst person they've ever seen! What've you gotta say about that?
That you're either lying, or you glitched them to say that.

All I've been is irreverent and cocky. Shellmeat must have met at least one person who was a real jerk about trying to stay alive in the conquest, and Refuge is from a place with actual evil emperors. They both must have known worse people!

Plus, yanno, I'm obviously great.

>>696339
"They met you."

At least that means I'm more interesting than the other three. I mean, really, what a waste of time the other's are, they're practically grey splots of personality.

"Who cares what they think, all I hear is that I'm more interesting. I'll even entertain that that's the truth, but like Rulekeeper, I can always tell when you're pulling my leg. Not that it's hard to tell, considering that those two have either had a life of dealing with contestants trying to murder them, or a world with an evil world controlling emperor controlling their lives."

All the other administrators had a tone of voice that told me what they thought I wanted to hear, and I was just spoken to like a thing with a ticket. Radmin treated me like a person. And it felt bad. I don't even think I want to hang out with him. But, I do feel like I exist beyond my choice here, and that's all I really wanted. So, Radmin."

>>696509
Geeze, I wasn't even trying to make you feel bad, I was just trying to have a little fun with this farce.

But hey, I won't inflict my presence on you if you can't handle it. You guys take her where-ever she wants for a solo-date then. She earned an hour of doing whatever she wants.

>>696509
That's touching. So much that you should probably make it up to her, Radmin. Somehow. Even if it means not gracing her with your presence.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHH! Radmin wins again! And we didn't even have to cheat! Even if she didn't really like us, Radmin won for being the rawest dude, and that's the best victory we could've gotten in this sort of situation.

>>696500

Wow, harsh. A bit deserving though, for thinking that the contestants didn't deserve entertainment as an end in itself.

Tell Shellmeat you hope you can convince her to rethink saying she doesn't want to hang out, because even if she doesn't like you, you think you like her; but thanks in any case.

>"Oh, no, he's terrible. But he's honestly terrible.
Oh my god, we Trumped our way through this contest!

>>696512

Hey, don't say that. We saw what happened to the guy that tried to backsass Rulekeep.

Thank you Shellmeat. I am sorry that you and Refuge had to get involved in this farce but its seems these two lovebirds are having way to much fun to worry about the feelings of normal contestants.

I am all for a entertaining stage and a actual challenge but this mess is starting to border on cruel and unusual punishment.

Anyways let me know what you want to do for our date. Or if you just want to be left alone. I know plenty of fun stuff we could do.

Oh wait I just had a great idea! Lets make this a double date! You and me and Glitcher and Rulekeeper. I can compete with Glitcher to see who can show there date the best time.

Woo double date is best date.

At least now you can expect a time skip. You're in front of Rulekeep.

"I changed the plans a little bit. Instead of 2 seperate brackets for round 7, now, we're going to combine the two into one from now on. Therefore, there are now 16 people in the next one. With that said, this will be cooperative. You will be teamed up with one other individual in this contest, and either both of you succeed, or both of you fail. Only 2 teams - 4 people - will move on to be able to compete with the original stage 8 administrators."
"Aha, and how do you address the problem of, say, what if my teammate is absolutely awful?!"
"The answer to that question is one I will supply to your teammate."
"Oh, you think I am the awful teammate?! Well, let's hear it, what is the contest?"
"Wrestling."
"What, you mean like grappling?"
"No, I mean like fighting in front of an audience. I will introduce you to your teammate, then let Glitcher explain the rest."

"Yes, so shut it and follow my lead."
"Tsk, you say that like making it to stage 7 means anything over stage 5, when all it means is that you went longer without getting Alison'd."
"I still want you to shut up, whoever you are."

"I only heard from Alison about you, and that your defining event was getting your ass handed to you."
"Paraphrasing does allow for liberties, I'm sure."

But that's the thing, there's gonna be an even bigger audience this time! Millions! Or so! The feelings of the audience will give you power. If they cheer you on, you get boosts to keep going! If they hate your guts, then maybe you get some spite-based power boosts. Don't sweat the details, just get the crowd to care about you. Oh, one more thing! Rulekeep and I decided that if you guys don't become administrators, we have alternative options for what we want to do, so... I doooo not even care a little bit if you guys lose, so don't think we're gonna cheat you on up anymore."

Women's wrestling outfits are a magical realm of possibilities.

What are we going to do about Radmin though? I suppose we could put him in a skirt too.

>>696547
Well if Sevener's going for that, Radmin has got to go lucha as well. He's just gotta.

we should use Ficus fan art wrestling costume for 7ner!

For Radmin, something based off this. >>/questdis/97295

Same kinda set up, Shirtless with the mask, cape, pants, and boots. But with an Admin business theme. So like Arm Sleeves with suit cuffs at the wrists, a cape fastener that's like a detachable shirt collar & tie, Top hat insignia on the waistband, ect.

Brief Character Switch
(Suggestions for costumes are still open.)

While these two.... people and all the rest of the admins choose their getups, Rulekeeper kinda made a little problem with Radmin's last round.

There's supposed to be two people per team, but since Radmin was the only one to make it out of his, we only have 15 administrators! One of them isn't gonna have a teammate, unless I go find a stand-in for him.

Question is, who? There's too many choice, it could be anyone! It could be a previous contestant from Radmin's last round that didn't make it through, it could be a random audience member, or even me!

Anyone. At all. From any cycle.

Choose a character to fill Team 8.

Fuck IT!
MAFIA ALISON.
It's time. It's finally time. Reveal that mystery.

Send in the Ties admin. Let her fight to get her hat back.

Seconding Three Ties for a grudge match comeback.

Just fill in the missing spot with a cycle-clone of the person who's solo.

>>696583
we need mafia Alison to fight!

Gonna third mafia alison

Radmin go full british heel with top hat, monocle, twirly mustache and cane. With a black wrestling leotard/banana hammock in place of actual suit. Your theme is the big shot admin that wants power because nobody else has any idea what to do with it because everyone but you is an idiot. Because it's true.

Sevener go >>696575
For theme she'll be the admin who blew all the rules, screw everyone else. Here to blow them again because nobody else will do what is neccesary. Hey, just do what I say because I'm better than you.

I'm sure you two will get along like house on fire.

Mafia Alison sure. So, glitcher feeling stable? Not at all stressed about the eternity alone thing? Having somebody undermine the relationship you built during that time? Possibly smacking Alison (if not the Alison) around in an arena?

If you want to capture the hearts of the crowd, darlings, you need more than a theme. You need a story.

And in this wrestling story, we're staying on the american continent, but we're going a little further north. Where a lawgirl, yearning to cling to the ideals of justice but dragged low by ill destiny, calls out to whatever powers will listen to give her a second chance after she takes a trip into a shallow grave, courtesy of her own corrupt fellows. One of the native gods decides to answer, drawing her back from hell as Tombstone, an undead sheriff hunting down criminals to take her place in the underworld and polish her blackened soul.

Eager to see how this latest prank of his turns out, Barking Dog follows behind her, lending his dubious aid however he sees fit. Though he, too, wishes to bring retribution on wrongdoers, it is only because their ignominy is so often the more amusing. Will he find Tombstone's blend of gritty nobility and brutality entertaining for long, or will he end up sabotaging her efforts as fuel for his own mocking laughter? Will she be able to keep her patience with his more trickstery ways of dealing with their opponents, or will her righteous vengeance demand more? Let's find out!

Tombstone's design features three main themes: old west sheriff, death, and the fires of hell. Hat, shirt and jeans fit the first, while the loose noose, lasso and ropes fill first and second. Mask, tattoos and designs of bones and flames fill the latter two. Barking Dog features more general cultural theming, though cut down for maximum display, as befits his smug vanity.

If body mods are freely available, I might recommend as a purely tactical matter that anatomical accuracy be activated. Those in the audience without sex drives will care little one way or the other, while those who do will likely approve that much more if a wardrobe malfunction or two might be in the offing.

doot doodoo doo

On the one hand, I desperately want to unveil the mystery of Mafia Alison, but on the other hand, resurrecting a potentially hostile party who is known for being very skilled at forming alliances and breaking the game may not be the wisest choice at this juncture. Just a thought.

>>696618

Since possibilities include everyone, I assume the person being added to make up the numbers isn't getting a chance for a res and is just going to be sent back wherever they came from afterwards. So, mafia Alison shouldn't be able to cause too much trouble, though I also don't think there'll be much opportunity to learn about her, and she likely won't enjoy it, so I'm not voting for her myself.

Wait a minute. Anyone at all...? How about Corrupter?

I mean it would be a terrible idea to actually call him in to do this, it's just interesting if it's possible.

>outfits
Just remember they're supposed to walk onto stage in cloaks / capes / towels with their names embossed on them that they discard before starting the match. And their titles should be Radmin and Adwinistrator.

>Anyone. At all. From any cycle.
Ties for a grudge match with Radmin?
An alt-Sevener who actually wears the admin suit and hat?
An octopus or kraken for a completely unfair advantage in wrestling things?
A jetal who's magically allowed to still have shape-shifting powers?
A person made out of fire who's really hard to wrestle, because you know, grabbing hold of fire is dumb?
Radmin's old bunny supervisor for maximum awkward?

Just remember the new person has to be a surprise and brought in after the match has already started.

>>696618
Glitcher seems in the mood for fun, and the worst-case scenario with Mafia Alison sounds like Fun. I see no problem here, so I'm fourthing her.

 

>>696617
YES! THIS!

I don't really care what outfit we do for Radmin, as long as it has a lucha mask of some sort. We should also at least double his muscle mass, he's so skinny.

If we get to choose a theme-song I recommend video related for the intimidation factor, because we're pretty much guaranteed to be going full heel for this.

Also, my vote goes to mafia Alison, because even if she would be dangerous as an enemy, we still have glitcher and rulekeep on our side in case she gets uppity. And it would be hilarious to see her wrestle.

We should totally give both Radmin and Sevener an extra pair of arms, because we can.

>>696680

>>696582

It's the last thing anyone would expect!

Can we grab the Diamond Emperor? Like, the actual Diamond, not Arbiter. I don't know how good he'd be at wrestling, but I'd probably be fine having him in the administration.

>>696604
That is a pretty solid theme.

For an extra entrant, I would recommend someone like Scholar. Someone who was originally a system entity and has some claim to the title, and was uplifted to being a full intelligence like Rulekeep described.

Character Switch back to Radmin

After considerable thought, a magnificent idea of proper theming comes to you as Option 1.
>>696604

"Okay, so I will be called Barking Dog! The one of dubious aid, for when you least expect it!"
>"We're tag teaming."
"I'm not done. You will be Tombstone, the undead sheriff hunting down criminals to take her place in the underworld and polish her blackened soul!"
>"I'm Sevener to you."
"You gotta learn how to get in character! You're the lawgirl up in the northern segments of the ancient land of north america - "

"You uncultured lizard! Did you not use your free administrator time using the watcher's library?!"
>"... what librar-?"
"Absolutely impossible! How did we end up as teammates?!"
>"That's what I want to know you hat priest! Glitcher! Give us new teammates so I can smack this guy around later! I know you can hear us!"
"Ha, he might have responded to that until that last part, now he'll just ignore you out of principle. Fine, how about a simple large hat, not a top hat, with..."

You proceed to convey what you envision with Option 2 for Sevener,
>>696617

and then yourself.
>>696597

If you do this one, though, you'll probably add a luchadora mask to Sevener's.

>"I want something with flames."
"What?! That is surprisingly tacky of you! No, not that surprising, actually."
>"Shut the hell up, how about we each just do our own thing."
"Unacceptable. We would be like a soft shade of sky blue against hot pink. Absolutely atrocious. Actually, I have an idea you may like!"

http://strawpoll.me/6651302

You should also give a little thought to whether or not you will keep your thin physique, or become temporarily swole for this round.

>>697492
Well, SOME muscle is a good idea as not to look silly. Don't have to get all barrel chest or anything, but at least bulk up enough to match your partner in relative strength.

>>697492
No swole, stay lithe. (It's fitting for Sevener to be more swole, anyways).

>>697492
Increase Sevener's swoleness, but for Radmin only up him a moderate amount of swole as to not sacrifice quickness for strength.

Big time swole is definitely necessary.

Glitcher clears his throat.

>Hello, everyone. It's me, the glitcher, live in a pocket dimension of stage 8. How are you all doing? I hope as many of you tuned in as possible, even you, Corruptor, wherever you are. Millions of you are with me and have been informed of today's events, but we are broadcasting from edge to edge of this cycle, including and primarily the untold billions that dwell in ghostland. You, the audience, have seen admins toy with your feelings, lay down the laws, and exercise power they never earned! What many may not realize, though, is that administrators on their own had very little power. To truly be the gods they were seen as, they would have to behave as a singular, united force. But the grand majority of you only saw one admin out of a many thousands. They squabbled. They fought. They were not united. And some of you may know as well, that the administrators had their own linear path of life and death, and the survivors were those who fit in closest to the "law" of what made the ideal administrator. It is ironic when you think about it, isn't it? The fewer administrators there are, the more likely they will have unanimous agreements and therefore unimaginable power over our cycling problems, but those few administrators are the highest standard of administrators - the very ones who would keep the status quo no matter how illogical, how ridiculous, and how evil it was. And now, there are four. Four out of millions. You can imagine their zeal, their stubborness."

She is also ironically, a game changer, despite being formed by the current administration's overzealos nature and even folly. Now she has crafted a contest in which past administrators are given the chance to usurp the current administration. These admin-contestants are the ones who died, not necessarily because of incompetence, but because they had their own plans. Destroy the contests. Control everything. Become gods. It didn't fit into the grand plan of who can be an end game administrator, and thus, they died while the system continued on. But now they get a chance. And the only stipulation? They must agree to stabilize the Rulekeeper so that she will persist as long as is within the administration's power. Honestly, as long as they do that, it doesn't matter to the two of us who wins, because we'll be leaving soon to let this cycle play itself out. But, to all of the rest of you?... if these failures, these unadmin-like admins were to become administrators again, and with the ultimate power of administration only split four ways, then two ways, then all the power for the one remaining admin? What would they do, and how will it affect you, be you dead or alive? Changes are going to happen, everyone, and the question of what these changes are, will be answered tonight..."

Your awareness comes back to the dressing room, where the TV is off, although you can turn it on if you wish. Other objects of interest at the top of your head:
Dresser, Additional Rules, Lockers, Door (To Stadium, Ring or Communal Area), and Fridge.

Flip the tv on and go check out what is in the lockers and fridge.

>>698427
Check additional rules. Radmin got good at finding the "hidden rules", right? Try doing that here.

Well at least they gave you separate beds, you won't have to fight for it.

Check the dresser for spare clothes / secrets / hidden lewd items, ditto for the locker (yours at least, respect hers). Then see what's in the fridge. And hidden under the beds.

Check the rules absolutely last thing.

Be sure to compliment your partner on her costume in a manner that will annoy her.

>>698422
Huh, where'd he get the rad fang? Is he trying to steal your radittude? Because if he is, he's doing it completely wrong. That's a different sort of rad.

Comment on beds having been pushed together. Then check fridge for SNACKS. Got to keep your strength up! Then check rules, then other items of interest. Then TV! Got to keep an eye on your competition.

While doing these, discreetly check self for... physiological additions. Looks like a little more mass has appeared below your belt.

>>698427
Lift weights
Get your pose on
Make Sevener think about how it feels like your wearing nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all.

You flip on the TV to listen to it while in the background. It tunes in right at the 'Ding' of a bell as the two teams tackle one another.

>Be sure to compliment your partner on her costume in a manner that will annoy her.
"You're looking like my teammate, alright."
>"That's bad, cause you look goofy as hell."
"I notice you decided to look the heavyweight part, hm?"
>"Least I can pull it off. You look like a baby sticking its face in a cardboard macho man cutout."

It would be more of a challenge to compliment her without also annoying her.

Meanwhile, the locker is completely empty at the moment. The dresser, on the other hand, has a set of yours and Sevener's normal attire.

The fridge contains food, protein energy bars, and protein shakes, and some water.

"Hm, these beds sure seem pushed together. Think Glitcher is trying to tell us something?"
>"No."

Hidden under the bed is a secret note.

Quit screwing around, this isn't a stage with hidden items. -Glitcher

You toss the note under the bed, wondering to yourself what's up with Glitcher's flickering snaggletooth, before going to check the additional rules. It mostly gets all lawyery about the established rules, like 'what counts as 15 seconds out of the ring straight.' The exception is saying that the referee can be attacked, however, she is invincible and does not feel pain, and is also against the rules.

The only hidden rule you see was already seen: the rules only exist if the referee sees them being committed. If this Sweatermouse is looking the other way, then you can do whatever you please.

Lastly, you go do some pre-match lifts in, because that might not be completely pointless. Either way, it gives you time to consider future poses.

>"So when do we fight?" Sevener asks Shopkeep.
>"Oh, whenever you want. You can leave it up to Rulekeeper and Glitcher to bring you out when convenient, but if you like, you can also initiate a fight with another team. You just have to select them, and why you're challenging them. Spruce it up if you can I guess, to make it look dramatic, since you want the audience to make it feel more than just having to fight at some point in time."
>"Well who are the opponents, then?"
>"Right, uh, you already saw Quarry-Tower and Annihilator-Destroyer, then there's you two. So the remaining 5 teams..."

Doorstop-Tilebreaker: These two wanted to stop the contest entirely for as long as possible. While not dissimilar to Alison's goals, they were not as ambitious, and would only perpetuate a safe zone for as long as they could.
Guitar Knight-Unknown: Guitar Knight is the odd man out in this round, and will have a mystery teammate. He lost when he tried to take too much control, feeling that he should delegate as little as possible.
Earl-Count: These two blamed their subordinates for every single problem and mishap.
King-Sixer: Although these two played along with the system, they secretly researched ways to fight it for as long as possible, until they gained opportunities elsewhere.
Rhino-Gator: If they had their way, the contestant brackets and admin brackets would converge into an odd form of democracy. They felt all were equal in some regard, and should have equal say to everyone's fate.

You're not sure you ever heard that bit about Sixer, or even believe it.

Wait, change of my earlier plans.

Sevener steals Sixer's car from the parking lot and drives it into his dressing room, and YOU insult Rhino. You're better at insulting people and being a narcissistic giant macho ass about it. Sevener's better at just being a blunt ass.

>If this Sweatermouse is looking the other way, then you can do whatever you please.
Note to self: figure out what would distract Sweatermouse. You can be the sneaky one who distracts her while Sevener goes for the kill.

(Just stealing the bedsheets to toss over her head might work, once. Aside from that, we might be able to distract her with a supposed appearance by Alison or Arbiter, but that's OOC for Radmin).

>King-Sixer
Presumably you want to not knock them out, and them to be the other two of the last 4 admins. Since they sided with Alison too and might be trustworthy. Probably should conspire with them in the public area later?

>Guitar Knight-Unknown
The only reason to gun for them would be to meet the mystery person.

>Earl-Count
I'm strong tempted to go for these guys just for being jerks. You knew better than to blame your subordinates for things that weren't their fault, even when they were bailing on you!

>Rhino-Gator
Sevener has a grudge against the gator admin. ("Fuck that gator admin"). Possible excuse for a match.

>what do
Double check, asking if Severer knows any of these people (she might know more than we know, if some of them were involved in the CAI battle mess). Then see about checking the common area, and maybe talking to King and/or Sixer.

Then we can plan a dramatic match thing.

>>698466
This might be a good time to decide who you DO want to work with.

I know who you *won't* like to work with.

Rhino-Gator. How dare they say everyone is equal. You are clearly a head above the rest!

Hmm. What short description are you two getting, when someone else asks about you? We're going to need to play off the personas of all involved. Ultimate victor is still decided by who the crowd gets excited about.

So, we need to start building the relationships between teams. Can we leave to interact with other teams outside the ring? Will the audience get to see anything that happens that's worth watching outside the ring, maybe through some cameraman who's wandering around the backstage area? Will we be able to do "interviews" where we trash-talk in preparation for matches?

As Sevener if she has a particular grudge on anyone, that'll get you both started.

You check under your belt for any oddities that may have occurred during your bulkening. Your groin appears to be exactly as you expect it. Given that you will completely dominate this round, you doubt that it really matters what's under the belt anyway.

"Hold on, I got other questions. This door. Is it abstracted to just teleport us through time to our next match, or is it real world?"

Rhino, Earl, Count, Guitar Knight, Doorstop and Tilebreaker. All those bastards didn't join up when we requested assistance, and they all backstabbed the ones who did. I got beef with all of them."
"Sounds like some juicy drama! Shopkeep, will we be able to do pre game trashtalk interviews?"
>"Geez, you're really on top of this. Yeah, in fact, you should probably assume you're being watched at all times, and anything you do or say can be used for dramatic purposes."

Sevener follows with nothing better to do.

It's a dining area and bar. A big one, with capacity for hundreds, you bet. You see a sports section to the side with billiards and televisions all broadcasting the match, with billiard tables and dartboards to go.

Supervisors. Watchers. Shopkeep barons, even teleporters and bartenders. It appears that more than just admins were brought back!

And each role has exactly the same look. That is not how things worked, and you have a feeling that Glitcher has something to do with this; either he had to reconstruct their look and only had your own bracket handy for reference, or more likely, he found it funny.

"Hey, everyone I used to know! Is there anyone like that here?!"
>"Yeah! Me, don't you remember me? From stage 5?"
"Sure I remember all my supervisors! Too bad I can't tell you apart from others."
>"Yeah, okay."
>"Hey, Sevener! You're here too - I thought you were in stage 8?" a shopkeep baron comes talking to Sevener.
>"Some nice-acting douche that was an earlier me took me out."
"You mean yourself from earlier cycles?"
>"Yeah. Next time I see some lame you from the past, I'll point and say that's you."
"Whatever! Wonder if this means we can get our old crews back."
>"Isn't there only room for so many?" supervisor asks.
"I'm the administrator! I can have an overstaffed crowd if I want."

>"How many?! If you have room for me, I'll join!" some other Supervisor chimes in, and many others echo it.

The more the merrier? If it gets to be too many then we can do something to thin the herd.

Yes to all of them. But we need to customize there looks. Having a crew of identical people will look silly. So go see shopkeeper and ask if we can get them outfitted in our team colors.

Depends on how you want to sell yourselves. Under the "admins turned contestants" angle, you might get some more approval if you play up sympathetic motives - say, finding out what's behind this whole system, who's been manipulating it, and finding a way out. Or, at least, teaching it a lesson, and teaching a lesson to these other admin chumps along the way.

In any case, a big pile of system employees for fans might not help endear you to the contestants in the audience. At the very least, you should change how they look. Maybe send them out to find your contestant allies, friends and acquaintances to join in your section of the bleachers?

Ask Sevener just how far we're going to be Alison-ing things up. Are we gonna try and save them all?

"The more the merrier, I say! How about it, Sevener, will we try to save them all?"
>"Why the hell wouldn't we?"
"Very well! All who want to be under our gigantic umbrella are welcome - if you're working for our side, though, I'd like to see who's in the audience! Either people who were in my stage, or people who are on our side."
>"Why?" Sevener whispers to me.
"Cause if they're out there, they can't be recruited by other wrestlers under our nose."
>"Supervisors, barons and watchers go out there. I want some people taking care of minutiae. Operator Collective, stay with us."
"And get a unique look from the shopkeep!"

>"Understood!" says a lot of people, although some stay behind. You don't care about them, as they are clearly losers.

Just as much of everyone leaves, two wrestlers come into your view from across the way.

>"Doorstopper and Tilebreaker, left and right." says Sevener, like she's spitting the words on the ground.

Huh, now who are these? Not King and Sixer. If it was Rhino and Gator I'd expect one of them to have a horn or something. Guitar Knight would have a guitar and the unknown would probably be someone we'd know, paradoxical though that is. That leaves Earl-Count and Doorstop-Tilebreaker.

You know what, though?

We don't care who they are because they're chumps

>>"Why the hell wouldn't we?"
Logistical insanity?

(Also the pointlessness of keeping any one person 'alive' when we're trying to break everything apart).

>>698543
Time for Sevener to pick a fight with losers who left her out to dry, and then broken everything while she was out fighting the good fight. They think they deserve to be admins again?

>>698543
Well well well, if it isn't wussmaster one and two. NO SAFE ZONE IN THE RING, BOYS.

>>698550
Oh, the other reason not to overfill your admin stage with minions would be the system still has to pick 2 of the 4 to advance to stage 9. Overloading isn't 'good' admin behavior, so unless all 4 of you do it, it's a mark against you.

(Being "bad" admins is gonna be a weird game of all breaking certain rules so they system can't single you out for it).

"I can't say I care who they are, Sevener."
>"Well, they're coming over."

"And who might you two be?" says Tilebreaker.
>"Cut the bullshit, you know who I am." says Sevener. "Or maybe you'll recognize me better if I turn my back, since that's all you saw while stabbing me.
"I'd tell you who I am, but I don't want you to get panic attacks when you hear the word admin! So you two are the ones who broke everything while Sevener was fighting the good fight, hm? And you think you deserve to be admins, again?"
"Of course!" says Doorstopper. "The good fight, you say? All Sevener did was run out of bounds to a reckless, unknown world! She never agreed with anyone, and stopped a unified administration. Our dream was eventually to aid them, while you both worked on the contestant's level instead of helping them!"
"Hmph, you wouldn't understand how peering down from your Five by Five Throneroom disconnects you from reality! As far as I'm concerned, you're both delusional."
"You act like being a contestant is being better, but here you all are, all escorted by your operators!" Tilebreaker continues. "What will you do when you cross the ropes where the operators can't follow?!"
"Introduce our opponents's faces to the mat, wussmasters! There's no safe zone in the ring, and you'll be wishing to crawl back to where operators can go!"

>>698573
They're up against the Adwinistrator and Radmin. The only reason you're out is because you got Alisoned. These other chumps don't stand a chance.
