Ring of Armageddon

***Ring of Armageddon*** is the second season of The Ring. It premiered on November 27th, 2022 and concluded on December 29th, 2022.

## Story

After the destruction of the Ring of Genesis, the surrounding areas have experienced the catastrophic effects of radioactive fallout. As a result, anarchy has broken out and the Ring War has begun. There are two sides: those who want to take advantage of the chaos to cause even more destruction... and those who want to maintain peace in the Rings.

Which side will you choose? Will you be on the right side of history? Only time will tell. The fate of the Rings is in your hands. This is the Ring of Armageddon.

## Format

Before the game started, everyone was assigned a Polar Opposite. Nobody will be on the same team as their Polar Opposite.

### Round 1

All players competed in the opening challenge individually to determine who gets to choose their team. Whoever performed better in each Polar Opposite pair selected their team and sent their Polar Opposite to the other team.

### Rounds 1-3 & 6-9

Two teams compete in a challenge. The team that performs better will win and earn 5 credits each. The player who performed the best/met the criteria for that specific challenge will be the Ringleader and earn an additional 5 credits. The Ringleader and their polar opposite are the only immune players unless the Ringleader decides otherwise.

The Ringleader will vote one player from the losing team (or themselves) to go into The Ring. That player and their polar opposite will both be sent to The Ring and they will compete AGAINST each other. The rest of the winning team (including the player who was sent in via polar opposite) will then vote someone else from the losing team. The player with the majority of the votes will also be sent to The Ring to compete against their polar opposite.

In The Ring, the first player voted from the losing team will pair up with the second player sent in from the winning team and vice versa to form a 2v2 challenge. The pair that wins will swap teams and become each other's polar opposites. In rounds 8 & 9, the winning pair each got to select a Polar Opposite pair to switch teams.

### Round 4

Each player is paired with their Polar Opposite to compete as one for this round. The pair who wins the challenge is immune from The Ring while the worst performing pair will head straight into The Ring. After the challenge, every player individually votes for a pair to head into The Ring against the challenge losers. The pair who loses in The Ring is eliminated.

### Round 5

Each player's credit total is combined with their Polar Opposite's credit total. If the combined total is above 30, that pair is immune from the Purge. All players who do not have a combined total of 30 or higher with their Polar Opposite will compete against their team. The worst performing player on each team will be eliminated.

### Round 10

The best performer in the challenge on each team will be their teams Ringleader. The Ringleaders will earn 10 credits per usual. However, this time the Ringleader will simply be choosing to save one other person on their team. The other 2 players on their team will head straight to The Ring. The Ringleader CAN choose to send themselves in if they wish. The player who performs better in the daily on the Do-Gooders will pair with the player who performs worse in the daily on the Evil-Doers and vice versa. This will be the last Ring of the season. The winners of The Ring can choose to swap teams if they both agree, but if one person disagrees they will stay on their teams for the finale.

### Credit System

Challenge Win: +5

Ringleader: +5

Ring Win: +3

Eliminated players may spread their credits across 1-5 people, and cannot give more than 5 credits to one person. They are not required to give anything away.
