Masq Season 1

The Masq Season 1 — originally named "The Circle" also known as "Welcome to the Circle" — was the first season as well as the 1st installment of The Masq. It was hosted by Andres Erickson.
== Overview ==
Season 1 was loosely inspired by the Netflix reality series of the same name (at the time), The Circle. 16 members of the Erickson Gaming Discord server disguised themselves as a variety of characters, and competed against each other to become the most liked.
Every two days, The players ranked each other from "most liked" to "least liked". The top 2 most liked players became "Super Influencers" and determined together which of their fellow contestants would be blocked (eliminated).
As the rounds continued, players continued to be eliminated until there were 5 left. The winner was then revealed in a voice chat which marked the end of the game. The rankings went by elimination order then by most liked.
