After Minority Rule ended, you took some time to realize what danger you might be in for this tournament. However, fortunes await those who make it far in the tournament, or so you hear.

A few weeks later, you are contacted again through the mail of the site of the Revival Round, a large abandoned office building.

You walk in, and go to the floor directed. You see roughly half of your fellow Minority Rule participants, and you notice a new face there, a new dealer.

'Hello, hello! It looks like everyone's here! In this game, you'll be having a peer-review to see who's been the worst employee. After all, we here at the LGT need tip top performance to continue in the tournament.'

You are each handed a packet of 50 votes, 10 to be used each round, and a binder labeled 'CONTRACTS'.

The dealer begins again....

'So you've lost the last round. My condolences...

Defeat in this tournament is often temporary, at least in the main rounds. Here, you'll need to ensure you have what it takes to continue your journey in this game. You have 50 votes, use them well.'

------------------------------------------------

Round 1 of Downsizing Game has begun. You have until 11 PM EST on Tuesday, January 22nd to mail me your TEN (10) votes for this round. No more, and no less will be accepted.

All votes and contracts must be sent by mail to nbkiller. When sending in a contract, make sure everyone sends the same contract. I will try my best to confirm all contracts within 24 hours of receiving them.

If all players mail in their votes before the deadline, we will move to the next round. If you don't want this to happen, let me know.

You are led to a rather large conference room where you are instructed that the votes will be revealed.

As the timer ticks down to 0, you hear a soft tone, sort of like a bell, as your dealer makes his way into the room.

'If I could have all of your votes please?'

He gathers up the small booklets of votes and begins to rustle through them.

'This feels too light...', and looks around the room. Chandlerp1996 is nowhere to be seen.
'We cannot have any absences here... I'll allow this once, but after that, it's over.'

With a flourish, the votes miraculously appear on a screen behind him:

After the faint 'Ding' is heard, most are found coming back to the conference room.

'Well, this is all I should hope for I guess' exclaims the dealer.

He barks orders a few attendants... "Round him up, he needs to go. Twice is too much"

The attendants round up Chandlerp1996 and fling him into an elevator, and enter with him.

'I'm sure that he will be able to take care of his debt well. After all, he felt like there wasn't anything to play for. As for the rest of you, I hope we have a good rest of your game'

The dealer carelessly flourishes towards the screen and the results appear....

After the dealer leaves, everyone goes into small huddles to talk about how they want to vote. After a short while, everyone puts their votes into the box. This is the first time that most see the 'Call' button near the door.

Someone rings the call button, and the dealer appears again...'What is it?'

'We'd like to end the round early if we could.'

The dealer nearly dances with excitement! 'Oh good! If you could just hand me your votes here, I'll have your results ready in a moment!'

He quickly glances over the votes, and motions over to the screen, miraculously already updated with the new votes.

Round 5 begins now. You have until 9 PM EST on Wednesday, January 30th to mail me your 10 votes this round. If all players mail their votes sooner, the game will end sooner.

The LGT final turn bribe is now open. If you would like to bid on the extra 51 votes courtesy of the Liar Game Tournament, please mail me your bid. Only the player who bids the highest amount will have that money deducted from their M-ticket account. Please keep in mind that any bids submitted must have the money in their M-ticket account, located in your inventory.

Your votes, contracts, and bidding decisions are due at 9 PM EST on Wednesday, January 30th. Good luck!

As the day draws to a close, the bell signifying the round is over rings for the final time.

The dealer comes into the door as a couple of people break off of a huddle. The group submits their votes to the dealer. He collects them, and without looking, rips off the wallpaper of the conference room with grand continuous motion, revealing an alcove that is an extension of this room, which somehow has the final results on it.

The players gaze at the large number of votes that Ryan_Jambe acquired, but also at their total and half-smile as they know they're safe.

It appears that nobody attempted to purchase the extra votes to challenge our winner.

Congratulations to Ryan_Jambe, the victor and sole first place of Downsizing Game! You've won a total of 200M yen to be credited to your bank account immediately.

Chandlerp1996 is the only loser of this instance of Downsizing game, and being inactive, I don't think he'll miss the money he now owes the Liar Game Tournament. We'll be sure to collect his debts at a later time.

For the rest of you all, congratulations on making it to Round 2 of the tournament! I wish you the best of luck.....you'll need it!

Bank account will be updated shortly.

Bank accounts are now updated, please let me know if anything appears off!
