Adam: What... Do you mean?
Greg: It's noticeable that the gamemaster will always create games that are going to get as many views as possible, but money is not why. The real reason there is... To allow players to manipulate what games will be played!
Adam: What are you saying? Can a game be manipulated out of the system?
Greg: Not exact games you want, but depending on your goals or on what type of games you want, you can manipulate the games being created indirectly. If you can create the circumstances of a better game that would gain more views, then it will cause a certain type of game to be made, probably this way you can also manipulate who will get into the same match, playing against each other.
Oli: This is meta level thinking right here.
Greg: Then the next game! Vote Session.
Oli: That game was so funny.
Adam: Funny? What was so funny about that?
Greg: You are still in the dark then? The entire Vote Session game was... an act.
Adam: That's ridiculous! How would it have been?!
Greg: What we all did there is... just to put on a good show for the viewers, the results were set in stone already. Even before the game began.
Adam: How!? And why didn't tell me again!?
Greg: It's a really important point. The entirety of my plan would have been ruined if you would have known about it, so I came up with a false plan to make it look like you barely just won.
Oli: I think you can't drag the revelation much more without him losing track of what is happening.
Adam: Revelation? Are you still hiding something that I should already know about, Greg!?!
Greg: Hehe- Well then. What Oli is talking about is... Our alliance.
Adam: A- Alliance?
Greg: Me and Oli... We've been allies since the Joker's Gambit game.
Adam: So Oli knew everything about your plan all along?!
Greg: He didn't.
Adam: EH- What?
Greg: I will get to that point naturally and will explain it when it will make perfect sense to do. However, now back to Vote Session! The sequence of the matches also matters at this point. It was me against Todor and only after then it was you Adam with Oli against Csanad. Remember about the point distribution.
-Greg: 4 points
-Oli: 5 points
-Todor: 5 points
Greg: Now, about Todor, there was no guaranteed way to know if he wants the same as me, to be all three of us (Todor, Oli and Greg) to be in the same Fade match, but I had every right to think so since the Fade game is usually easier to win against a team as a solo than later games, so it's logical that he would want to get rid of at least one of us, so there would be no situation where he could lose.
There were 3 outcomes of that match.
1: Only Todor gains 2 points
2: Both me and todor gains points
3: None of us gains any points
Greg: The second option was not an option in either Todor's plans or in mine. That would have caused me to be on the same points as Oli, and Todor would have been 1 point ahead than Oli, which means no matter if Oli wins or loses, all three of us will not have an equivalent amount of points. So what remains is:
1: Only Todor gains 1 point
2: None of us gains any points
Greg: First, it might look like that for Todor, it would be best for him to win only by himself, but there is a problem with that. There is a game that also needs to go in a way he wants to to make sure the not equivalent points plan succeeds. Let's say Todor would have won that game against me. The next match would have been Oli's match, there was also a problem with that. The game master also saw through it, whoever is responsible in making the games and the player divisions, is a genius. Since you, Adam, was in the same match as Oli, there was no guaranteed winning strategy for the other two players who were also Todor's allies who would have done anything Todor told them. So if Todor would have won against me:
-Greg: 4 points
-Oli: 5 points
-Todor: 7 points
Greg: But then there is Oli's match, there was a chance Oli could win by teaming up with Adam, causing Todor and Oli to have equal points, which would fail his plan as the Fade game couldn't occur in the way he wants to. So only one option remains. In the game he plays against me, he is going for a tie.
None of us gains any points
Greg: Which means the points distribution before Oli's match is:
-Greg: 4 points
-Oli: 5 points
-Todor: 5 points
Adam: That means the plan can only succeed if Oli wins!
Greg: Exactly. Todor's plan was probably to tell Csanad to resign right as the game starts, but while he was playing with me, he seemed to realise that I have the same plan as he does, and that means that I would make sure Adam makes Oli a winner, so he decided to tell Csanad something else before their game started. He told him Oli needs to win, but he should make the appearance as if he would try to beat him in the game.
Adam: And if Csanad would have actually won? Because they were pretty close.
Greg: Just before the very end, Csanad and Elma would have resign, and with that even if Adam does not, Todor knew I want him to win already, especially if you two (Oli and Adam) are allies in that game, probably you two would make sure that both of you are winners anyway.
With that, the game ended:
-Greg: 4 points
-Oli: 7 points
-Todor: 5 points
Everything is set, the fade game can happen with the three of us being in the same match!
