Well, there's NO penalty to running, because you can drop out at ANY TIME before the final vote.
But my plan is to get 7 people together to control the election and choose a winner, and have that winner distribute their chips around the other 6 voters and just be all safe.
I just don't know ANYONE, so I wanna get to know people, and like, work with people who want to work with me yeah?

I'll be honest , your plan makes a lot of sense...in theory, but to get 7 people together and assume they will all "toe the line" is very ambitious. All it takes is someone else to run who "knows" some of these players , and can count on them, then bribe 3/4 other uknown players with more chips than you could bribe them with, and the game is up...even if you believe that it's "in the bag".
It's a really tricky game to start off with. I know a few of these players from IMDB , and some from the previous Genius game.

I'm a bit of a loner, since I'm a reddit person who just kind of randomly walked on.
But this is a good game to find loyal people.
If they betray us, it's easy to know they'll be picked for the Death Match, right?
Like, it's easy to understand that whomever betrays us, if a betrayal happens, will be picked by our Candidate.

You won't know who betrayed you , since all votes are in the confessionals. If you have 7 people in your team (you and 6 voters) , that leaves 5 others (1 candidate and 4 voters) , if you lose the election 6-4 , two people betrayed you , but you won't know who.
Out of the people I know, they're mostly good/decent players , none are drama queens (which is a bonus , cause I can't stand all that crap lol) . I've opened a few rooms with them to see if they respond , but not much so far.

Well it's decently obvious, if you just ask the other team.
It's like "I'm going to pick your closest ally, but I'd rather pick the person who betrayed me. Tell me who it is, and I'll pick them insteasd".
You know?

and you think they would tell you ? would you , if you were in their place ? knowing that if it backfires you would now be the number 1 target lol ?
There's also the possibility that whoever betrayed you was in their team all along and playing "double agent". The thing about these polls, is that they are not gonna be very reliable either, cause voters could be lying to get candidates to stay til the end by giving them false hope....yeah , this first game is very very tricky. Of course , there's also the possibility of there being 3 or more candidates , then the permutations get even worse.

I wouldn't, but I'm also not scared of being taken to the Death Match. I'm confident I can win at least one.

Hey, don't get me wrong , I'm not scared of going to the death match , I'm just practical in knowing that I have a 50% better chance of making it to the next round if I'm not in one lol , it's all about percentages sometimes....

True enough. Hence wanting to have 7 people who all have an incentive to work together for Garnets and Safety.

Honestly, since you guys are the only ones running, this is really simple.
Like, the deadline for applying to be a candidate is over right?
If all 3 of you drop out, I am the official winner.
I don't need to give garnets to any voters, which means the 4 of us can each earn 5 garnets from this.
