Chapter 38 - Second winner

Todor first trades with Brielle first.

Todor: So this is my offer that you will say yes to. You will give me 100 VMP, you will vote for me every single turn, and will never trade with anyone else. In exchange what you get is that I will not vote for Greg ever.

Brielle: Yes.

Referee: A deal has been made!

Greg: Huh, are you kidding me? You really are not relying on luck at all.

Todor: James, now you, we will trade and you will say yes to it. You will give me 100 VMP, you will vote for me every single turn, and will never trade with anyone else. In exchange what you get is that I will never trade with Greg.

James: Yes.

Greg: So it's set, hm? I cannot win. No one can trade with me, and no one can vote to me. Also two will be guaranteed to vote for Todor every turn. So does that mean it will end in 6 turns? Whoa, impressive.

Todor: Just thought I would put you in a cage, a cage that gives you zero movement.

Greg: You sure?

Todor: Yeah, why?

Greg: I can still decide who to vote on.

Todor: hah... So who will you vote on?

Greg: I will vote for you, Todor. I don't see any reason why to drag it out long. We're gonna save 2 turns, we will finish in 4 turns, just a few minutes.

Todor: Then how about voting?

Referee: If voting, then please write it down for me-

Greg: Can't we just skip to the end?

Referee: Just skip?

Todor: If we all will vote the same and agree on doing no trading in all the rounds, then it should be ok right?

Referee: Yeah, that's true... Then tell me, what are your votes for the rest of the game?

Brielle: I vote for Todor (forced anyway because of trade)

James: I vote for Todor (forced anyway because of trade)

Todor: I vote for James

Greg: I vote for James!

Todor: James?

James: Wait- What does this do?

Todor: Nothing, he just wanted to scare us.

Greg: Tell me Todor, honestly. Did I get you there for a second?

Todor: Not at all.

Greg: Are you sure? actually, I did not just get you for a second. My trap worked on you! heh..

Todor: No, you are wrong, you would know if you would remember the rules perfectly, just like me. it says... Wait... It says...

Greg: What? I cannot hear you Todor, what does it say?

Brielle: Todor! Todor! What's wrong? You have the most VMP! That means that you are still the winner!

Greg: heheheheheeee~~~ Todor realised it already. I should better tell you all. How was the rules phrase the win conditions?

Win condition:

"The first winner is the one with the most votes

The second winner is the one with the most VMP"

James: That is yeah, it says that if you hae the most VMP then you wins!

Greg: referee, please, continue.

Referee: Huhuhu. Todor is not a winner. Because the rules say if you have the same amount of votes as someone else, then you are not a winner. Though it says the second winner is the one with the most VMP, pay attention...

"The second winner is the one with the most VMP"

"The second winner..."

Brielle: Wait... what are you... implying?

Referee: The one with the most VMP is the second winner, but to be the second winner, there has to be a first winner, which we clearly don't have!

Brielle & James: HHHAAAAAAA?????

Todor: ..... Greg... I... have to congratulate you... I actually... didn't see it coming.

Greg: Hehe, even though I didn't win, making you lose your perfect streak feels much better than winning!

Referee: Match ends! The winner is: Nobody

____________________________________________________________

Greg walks out and up the stairs and sees Adam.

Adam: Greg! You seem... Surprisingly happy? What happened?

Greg: Well, I lost, technically, but let's just say that... Todor as well, didn't win.

Adam: W-What?! What do you mean he didn't? wasn't it a 3V1?

Greg: I would rather wait until they allow us to rewatch the matches. The more important thing is. You know the strategy, right? You can't mess it up!

Adam: Yeah, I got it, don't worry!

The day has passed, and it's already the final day, the match of Oli and Adam is the last match. The current ongoing match is the last before the last match.

Adam: I will play with Oli, Elma, and Csanad. Hey, actually, now that I think about it, Elma is?

Greg: Oh, Elma? She was my teammate we could say in the Record Of the Four Kingdom. Seems like she lost every match after that.

Adam: Huhh.... I can do it, it's not as difficult to pull it off right?

Greg: I don't think it is.

Adam: By the way... you never told me what to do in order to win. Why now then? Is it really that important?

Greg: ... Yeah, it is. You will see, I hope at least.

Adam: I heard something! Did they just finish? So it's my turn finally?

Radio: And now it's time for the final 4 people to come and play their matches.

Greg: Good luck Adam. You can do it.

Adam: See you soon, Greg.
