*"Jason W and Krystian, CONGRATULATIONS on being the FINAL TWO players left in the game! The 4th stage of the Final is called RTV Trivia. When you are individually ready to start the elimination challenge, please PM me on Discord. I will then private message you on Discord with the same exact set of questions as your opponent and your time will start. You must each privately find the answers to the questions you are given without the help of others. This will be an accuracy race, so the first person to answer the most questions correctly will win the elimination. If there is a tie with the number of correct answers, it will come down to who submitted their answers the quickest.*

*Once you submit your answers you CAN NOT change them, so make sure you are submitting your final, FINAL answers. If I see that your message was edited or deleted/resubmitted you will be disqualified. You all will have 12 hours (8pm EST today) to start Stage 4 of the Final. Late submissions will not be accepted. Good luck to you both!"*
