I will now introduce the 7th Main Match.
The 7th Main Match is "Open, Pass".
Each one of you will receive a basic set of 20 cards with a mixture of number and symbol cards.
"Open, Pass" is a game where you use the number and symbol cards to obtain a largest value.
To get a large value, you will require high numbers and advantageous symbols.
To make a better value, you are allowed to purchase extra cards.
Of the purchasable cards, there are 2 garnet, 4 garnets and 6 garnets pack. Each of these are a set of 20 cards.
★ costs 2 garnets ★ ★ costs 4 garnets ★ ★ ★ costs 6 garnets.
The more stars the deck has, the better cards are on the deck. There is no limit on how many decks you can buy and they will not run out! If you wish to buy a deck, you can either put it on this thread, in any room or in your confessionals. If you are satisfied with your basic and/or purchased cards, create the best composition of cards by mixing in number and symbol cards and post the list of your cards on your confessionals page.
The 20 cards that you have listed will be used to complete an expression on the game thread.
There are 10 card slots for you to create your expression.
Using Random.org, your cards will be randomly drawn out from a generated list one at a time.
The dealer (ME!) will shuffle the 20 cards and lay them face down on the table For example: B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B If you are not happy with the shuffle, you may ask for another shuffle, you can do this up to 3 times. from the front of the list above, a card will be placed faced down on the slot in front of the = sign. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ B = _____ The player will the be allowed to make one of two choices: "Open or Pass".
If they choose Open, the card will be revealed and will be part of the expression.
If they pass, it won't be revealed and won't be included in the expression. The next card will the be placed in the slot.
Obviously, you cannot pass cards that are already open.
You may pass a maximum of 10 cards.
When all cards have been placed, we move onto evaluating the expression from left to right.
If numbers or symbols are placed by side, only the left-most one is included. The other cards are discarded.
If the card directly in front of the equal sign is a symbol, that card is also discarded.
If the most left card in the expression is a symbol, 0 will be added in front of it.
The player that makes the highest value will be the winner and the player with the lowest value will be the loser.
The winning player will win 5 garnets. The 2nd highest player will win 2 garnets.
You are given until Tue, 1030 PM EST to submit to me your 20 cards. If not, I'm taking that you are satisfied with the deck you are given.
Once everyone has given me their cards, we can arrange a time individually to open up your deck. Everyone doesn't have to do it at the same time.
If anyone needs a practice run with your normal deck, just tell me and I will do a run on this thread.
As usual, any questions please inform me. I will post the normal deck you have on your confessionals page in a bit.

I'm slightly confused about this one. Could you do a practice run to show what'll happen?

ok, the practice is abandoned until rachael shows up to restart it. if anyone else wants to do a practice, just informed me.
Just take note, even if you buy extra decks, you only need to submit to me 20 cards. the cards can be a mixture of all the decks you bought. it doesn't have to be from the same deck.

just to clarify also. the winner gets a token of life. if there's only one winner, the winner will choose someone else to get the token of life.

Mas- will we know each other's results as they happen? Or is it done privately and results not given until all are completed?

it will be done on this thread, not privately. results will be revealed once it's done. since there is no advantage or disadvantage in doing in here.
