Bluffing Phase 4
"The four of you have had more than enough time. Do you feel confident on your decisions? Let's see how well you know each other by this penultimate round! Mr. ShadowFire, your turn, please? Mr. ShadowFire? Hello?" 10k speaks up: "He said he was going to the bathroom and hasn't returned. Kokuryu too." The attendant shows a look of confusion (behind the mask, sure, but it's painfully obvious) and responds, "The bathroom, huh? Well, they may be back before the end of this. If not, too bad, so sad. Anyway, his claim is as follows: 'My 2 of Clubs is the ONLY card of its suit in my hand.' What do you think of it?"
After slight delay, 10k and Iain7 respond in unison: "He's telling the truth." As ShadowFire still has not returned, it's up to the attendant to reveal to them that they are both, in fact, wrong. And so ShadowFire will, upon his return, receive a single card from the both of them. And from Kokuryu as well, seeing as he missed these proceedings as well...
Next up is 10k, claiming that "My 10 of Spades is the highest card in my hand." Iain7 is pretty confident that "You're lying. Not that anyone's going to disagree..." And sure enough, after waiting a while longer, there is still no sign of ShadowFire nor Kokuryu. As 10k agrees with Iain7, only ShadowFire and Kokuryu must give 10k cards.
"Kokuryu?" Still no response, as he's in the bathroom. "Ah well, his claim is as follows: 'My 6 of Clubs is the lowest card in my hand.' Please decide on the validity of that statement." 10k and Iain7, after some thought, reply, "That should be the truth." After a slight pause to wait for ShadowFire to return (he does not), the attendant agrees. As such, ShadowFire must give one card to Kokuryu.
Finally, Iain7 steps up to restate his claim that "My 4 of Diamonds is the 3rd lowest card in my hand." 10k agrees with that and says, "As always, you're telling the truth." Iain7 waits a little, as proper to allow time for the others to return, and replies, "No, I am not. Your card, please?" And ShadowFire and Kokuryu must also give cards when they return.
The attendant receives the claims and puts them in his growing discard pile. "Well, first place is still there by a large margin, and... what's this? We have another elimination! And much randomization... Kokuryu shall..." He pauses as ShadowFire walks in and walks up to the attendant to whisper something in his ear. The attendant nods and addresses the others. "Kokuryu has, regrettably, drowned. The circumstances will be investigated, but it appears to be suicide due to his disappointment with how he conducted himself during this game. The stress grew too large. At any rate, his cards were to be randomized anyway, so no large loss. And ShadowFire's exchanges are randomized as well! It appears that it is impossible for anyone other than Iain7 to win in this final round, but 2nd and 3rd places are yet to be determined! Please exchange your cards and choose your bluffs!"
Card Exchanges
ShadowFire must randomly give one card away to each 10k, Kokuryu, and Iain7. The card sent to Kokuryu shall be discarded and out of play.
10k must give one card each to ShadowFire and Iain7.
Kokuryu must randomly give one card away to each ShadowFire, 10k, and Iain7. He will then be eliminated from the game.
Iain7 must give one card to ShadowFire.
Standings
1. Iain7 - 10 cards
2. ShadowFire, 10k - 5 cards
4. Kokuryu - 1 card - ELIMINATED
5. Joshua - ELIMINATED
You each have 24 hours to transfer cards as needed. If you wish to make your claim, you may. However, that claim could very well be changed to true or false, depending on what cards you receive. Everyone is exchanging at least one card, though all of ShadowFire's and all of Kokuryu's will be randomized. Everyone receives at least one card. Kokuryu will be eliminated at the conclusion of this phase. At the conclusion of those 24 hours, the Claim Finalization period will begin.
It is the beginning of the fifth and final Claim Phase. The Card Exchange period ends at 12:31 am GMT on Wednesday, June 6th. Hopefully, I will not be too late with results. The Claim Finalization period will end 24 hours from whenever I post the Card Exchange results, not 48 hours from this post. Make good use of your time, and good luck!
