@Event Participant

21:58

21:58

You think...

21:58

21:58

Maybe you could have signed up for the London Tournament, or even paid a visit to the Lugong University instead of watching a brick fall towards you...

21:58

21:59

Maybe this was not the best i-

21:59

The brick makes contact with your forehead-

21:59

21:59

...

21:59

21:59

...

21:59

21:59

You hurl your eyes open and rub all over your face!

1

21:59

21:59

You are surprisingly... Fine... You are standing? Weren't you asleep?

1

22:00

22:00

The imposing, enormous gates and terrible heat radiating from them far ahead don't make you feel any less uneasy

1

22:00

22:00

You touch your wrists, then your ankles together, you swear you can SEE and FEEL something on them but you can't seem to focus on what... (edited)

22:00

22:00

A tall figure appears in the middle of the group holding a clipboard. 3 heads. 3 CANINE heads? Are you in Hell?

1

1

22:00

22:01

It looks at it's clipboard with the center head, the other 2 scan the rest of you

22:01

22:01

"...Cause of death..." "...Falling brick..." "...On the head..."

22:01

22:01

All 3 heads hum with a puzzled expression, you open your mouth to speak-

22:01

22:01

"...No time for this." "Take this and listen." "We are currently busy."

1

22:01

22:01

A snap of their fingers and a heavy suitcase drops from thin air on the arms of everyone, yours included

1

1

22:02

22:02

The great weight makes you stagger backwards. When you manage to recover your balance, they are already long gone.

22:02

22:02

With a sigh, you kneel and open up the suitcase. Six colorful orbs welcome your sight at the bottom of the case. Above, a screen lights up in the top lid and illuminates your face with white light

22:02

22:02

You glance both sides nervously towards the people in your same predicament. They do the same.

22:03

1

22:03

At least you have company to help you out in this... Right...?

22:03

22:03

A robotic voice rings from your case, catching your attention to the text.

22:03

22:03

"Registration has closed. The game will now begin shortly..."

22:04

22:04

A game? A playing card flashes, white and red.

22:04

22:04

You feel the gentlest of tugs by your ankles and wrists...

22:04

22:04

...towards the gates.

22:05

[ GAME DESIGNER TAG ] : kalimoor, inspired by "Genius Game: Lights Off"

22:05

22:06

Seven players compete to be the best soul seller among thenselves. Each owns a suitcase with 6 souls inside. There are–

8 Sadness
8 Anger
8 Fear
8 Pride
8 Joy
2 Torment

–souls mixed randomly among the suitcases. The game will be divided in rounds of 4 phases each. At the start of the first phase of each round, players will be told the position & type of each soul in their suitcases (#1 to #6) privately.

Swapping Souls

To swap souls, both players must agree to swap publicly in #soul-swaps using reference positions in their suitcases (#1 to #6), NOT types. Example:

Kalimoor: I swap my Soul #2 with luffy's Soul #3. Luffy: I agree.

You may not swap more than once with the same player each phase. Confirmed swaps are final.

Phase End

It will be revealed which soul type there is most of in a case, but not which case has the most. For every player that doesn't trade in a phase, a random (or semirandom, exclusively in the case of abuse) soul of any case will convert into a Torment soul at the start of the next phase. The holder of the case will be privately notified of which soul transformed.

Soul Bind

Once per round, you may request 2 players to be Soul Bound by submitting “@Jack of Hearts, I bind (player) & (player)” in your SC. If both players swap souls with eachother in the following phase they become bound: for that phase and the next, they may only swap with eachother.

Round end

After the end of the 4th phase, the round ends and souls will be sold off in groups: +1 coin for 5 matched souls. +3 coins for 6 matched souls. -4 coins per Torment soul. +2 BONUS coin for being second-last to have held a Torment soul in the round.

22:06

22:07

After scoring, every player is deducted coins equal to the round number and notified of their balance. All souls are reshuffled with the initial pool and next round begins. The game ends when a player's balance is -15 or less. Private threads are available in #brick-discussion-and-threads at your convenience, may the best Soul Merchant thrive! [ GAME CLEAR ]

Have the top balance on game end.

[ GAME OVER ]

Have less coins than the top balance on game end.

22:07

22:08

If you have any questions, please ping me in your SC!

22:08

With that said...

22:08

Give me a few moments to distribute your suitcases.

All suitcases have been given

22:47

Clarification.

You only know the contents of your suitcases at the start of a round, you will not know what you receive from swaps. Please refer to the scoring table for ways to deduce what you have at the end of the round (aka, after 4 phases). @Event Participant

Phase 1 deadline: dinsdag 6 januari 2026 11:00

-# This automatically adjusts to your timezone. (edited)

Auto-accept trades.

To lessen the impact of timezones on the game, players are allowed to submit auto-accept conditionals in their SC. Ping @Jack of Hearts with the details, i.e: "I accept to swap soul #1 with (player) on phase 3, decline all other trades". Players will be required to set a duration.

Clarification

All players start out the game with Zero [0] coins. (edited)

@Event Participant

A voice crackles from your suitcase, you open it up and look at the information on the screen... "Phase 1 is over!"

11:00

11:00

### Pride, Fear and Joy souls lead the majority with FIVE [5] souls.

Clarification

I will not allow undoing binds, use them with care as you only have one each round. You will be publicly informed if a bind activates and which players were bound, but not who did it.

Rule adjustement

While Soul Bound, players are immune to being Soul Bound again to prevent abuse. @Event Participant

Nobody has traded. This is your only one and only reminder that phasechange happens 6-1-2026 23:00.

For every player that doesn't trade in a phase, a random (or semirandom, exclusively in the case of abuse) soul of any case will convert into a Torment soul at the start of the next phase. The holder of the case will be privately notified of which soul transformed.

@Event Participant

Phase 2 End

A voice crackles from your suitcase, you open it up and look at the information on the screen... This feels routinely now. The following soul leads the majority with SIX [6] souls.

Sadness As ONE [1] player did not swap souls at all, ONE [1] extra Torment soul is in play now. It will replace a random soul in play. ### Phase 3 Deadline: woensdag 7 januari 2026 11:00

-# This automatically adjusts to your timezone, @Event Participant

Phase 3 End

A voice crackles from your suitcase, you open it up and look at the information on the screen... This feels routinely now. JOY souls lead the majority with SIX [6] souls. As ONE [1] player did not swap souls at all, an EXTRA [1] Torment soul is now in play.

Phase 4 Deadline: woensdag 7 januari 2026 23:00

-# This automatically adjusts to your timezone, @Event Participant

2 Clarifications

Torment Soul no-swap transformation + Soul Bind can carry over rounds, as they affect the next phase. I.e, both can carry over this way:

Round 1 Phase 4 → Round 2 Phase 1 Also, Torment souls are generated at the beginning of the next phase. Majority soul information is done at the end of the phase, so Torment generation happens after majority soul information. Reminder that 7 players have not swapped yet.

@Event Participant

@Event Participant @Hinako Daimon will substitute @Takatora Samura due to inactivity.

### Expect delayed results.

23:03

Phase 4 End

A voice crackles from your suitcase, you open it up and look at the information on the screen... This feels routinely now. "The round has ended..." Joy & Sadness souls lead the majority with Six [6] souls each. As One [1] player did not swap souls at all, an extra One [1] Torment soul is now in play.

23:03

@Event Participant I will now distribute your new suitcases and balance updates shortly.

Round 1 END

Everyone gathers up as per the instructions of the voice from the suitcase. 'Nothing better to do than to follow I guess', you think to yourself. In front of the seven players, from a blink to the next, the standing 3 headed canine appears. The center head cuts straight to the point. "It is time." "Let us see..." "...What you have..." A snap, and the suitcases disappear. You swear you see in extremely fast motion the briefcases opening and closing in front of it's heads!! "This will do." "Very nice for our clients." "Sort these again." Another snap and another HEAVY suitcase drops everyone's arms. This time though, you expect it. "We will meet back soon." "Here's your pay..." "...and your bill." They all grin maliciously with that last sentence. You get startled as your wrists and ankles are tugged ever so slightly harder towards the ominous gates... Your pockets feel fuller... The same... Or impossibly emptier?! You check... SNAP! You vision snaps to the now-absent spot where the 3-headed canine was standing. They are already long gone. At least everyone was truthful with their trades, right?...

Round 2's Phase 1 Deadline: donderdag 8 januari 2026 11:00

-# This automatically adjusts to your timezone, @Event Participant (edited)

Clarification & Reminder

All your balances are Post-Tax. As round 1 is over, it was your earned balance minus one coin (tax equal to round number). Remember you can make threads! If you are confused on how, ping me in your SC. Also replyping players during conversations to catch their attention better

Next phasechange might be late.

Yeen eepy. (edited)

Clarification (before shuteye)

+2 BONUS coins for being second-last to have held a Torment soul in the round.

This stacks. If a player somehow offloads 6 Torments and those Torments don't then get traded away again—so the player was 2nd-last to have held all 6—such player would score +12 coins (2•6). Provided they don't end the round with a Torment in their inventory. As then they would be the latest to hold a Torment soul and only receive the appropiate penalty, no BONUS. (edited)

A pit forms in your stomach. Perhaps you have enough coins, perhaps you don't. The only thing you know is that you tap your pockets and only feel emptiness.

23:01

23:01

The suitcase's screen turns off

23:01

23:02

The 3-headed canine is back and is looking over everyone. How come nobody else has noticed? It also has... Spots?

23:02

23:02

...They grin at everyone. Then all the heads look at you, it makes you dreadful-

23:02

Snap.

23:02

23:02

...

23:02

23:02

23:02

Everyone feels a strong urge to stand up all at once.

The suitcases are nowhere to be seen.

"Too much debt." (edited)

23:03

23:03

"It is time to pay up..."

23:04

23:04

"With your souls."

23:04

23:04

Despite this, all players are uncannily silent and completely emotionless. Ethereal shackles glow on their wrists and ankles...

23:04

23:04

"Let us start..."

23:05

"From..."

23:05

The last head ponders...

23:05

"The bottom."

23:05

23:05

They peer at their clipboard, humming together...

23:05

23:05

23:06

"Eighteen coins..."

23:14

The rightmost head head keeps reading the clipboard, the rest snap their gazes on Ocean. (edited)

23:14

23:14

"Six souls..." "...And..." "Hm."

23:14

23:14

The 3 headed hyena looms over her and ponders, staring at the last player with 2 heads and a piercing gaze.

23:15

23:15

Ocean looks up at the creature defiantly. She does not budge.

23:15

23:15

...

23:15

23:15

They suddenly raise their clipboard in view of the other two heads.

23:15

23:15

"Hm?" "A profit of..." "Two coins. Indeed."

23:15

23:16

They sigh with disdain as they walk away to the gates, same direction as the prisoners being dragged away to Hell.

23:16

23:16

They raise their paw... Snap.

23:16

23:17

Hendy appears in front of Ocean , managing a small smile towards each other before the duo feels tired... (edited)

23:17

23:17

The world tilts...

23:17

23:17

...

23:17

23:17

They slowly open their eyes in a hospital bed.

23:17

23:18

Hendy feels his head... There is nothing. How did he end up here?... Oh. Right. A Falling Brick.

23:18

23:18

In the meanwhile, Ocean takes her surroundings. A card catches her eye, neatly placed on top of herself.

23:18

23:19

Hendy looks aside towards her. Curious, he also looks ontop of himself and notices the same card. He picks it up...

23:19

23:19

The Jack of Hearts.

23:20

23:21

And that concludes the event! Thank you all for playing, it was such a blast to watch everything unfold!!

Rule Edits

Rounds: 4 phases → 3 phases.
6 match: +3 coins → +4 coins.
Torments: Penalty -4 → -3 | BONUS +2 → +1
Players are immune to getting soul bound again while bound.
The randomized bag of souls will be public at the start of a round.
"Each time that in a phase at least one player does not swap, all future rounds will begin with an extra torment soul."
Or something that makes it that for idling, extra torment souls are generated equal to the idler's torment soul count
Also make it so having 6 torments doubles your income and nullifies torment drawback ### Clarifications
Torment soul BONUS scoring: negated by holding a Torment soul. Stackable.
Binds get used up regardless if activated or not and non-refundable.
Players start with 0 coins.
Players are allowed to bind themselves with another player.
If a bind triggers, it will be publicly announced which players were bound, but not by whom.
Torment soul transformation & Soulbinds carry over rounds as they happen next phase regardless of rounds.
Majority soul announcement & scoring happen before Torment soul transformation. (They are End of Phase and transformation is Start of Phase).
Balance information is post-tax.
Players only know the contents of their case at the start of a round and do not know what they receive from swaps. Probably figure out a way to make rules smaller while packing all this
