Ring of Genesis

***Ring of Genesis*** is the first season of The Ring. It premiered on July 1st, 2022 and concluded on August 8th, 2022.

## Story

The universe is silent and completely black. There is no sign of anything, anywhere. This is until the the first of what looks like a donut... or maybe a circle with a hole... begins to form. Its size is miniscule until it starts to radiate an energy so powerful that it grows in size. It only gets bigger and bigger, and eventually divides itself into two. This process happens many times, but the first ring's power continues to grow. It gets larger and divides into more rings, feeding off of everything that it can find. It is crucial to conquer this ring—The Ring of Genesis—in order to stabilize the rest.

## Format

### Rounds 1 & (5)

All players will compete in a Purge Challenge where the top 4 players will become Team Captains. The player(s) who finishes in last place will be purged from the game.

### Rounds 2-4 & 8

Four teams will compete in a daily challenge. The best performing team will be safe and win 10 credits each. That team will also hold the Ringleader (which will be decided by best performance or vote), who will earn 5 extra credits. The worst performing team will be vulnerable to The Ring. The Ringleader will then select one of the other two teams to also send someone into The Ring. The selected team and the last place team will then have a vote, where the player with the most votes on each team will be sent in. Additionally, the Ringleader will be tasked with selecting another player from each team that received at LEAST one vote to go against the player that received the most votes. The matchups will be from the same team, so each team will have someone eliminated.

### Rounds 6-7

Four teams will compete in a daily challenge. The best performing team will be safe and win 10 credits each. That team will also hold the Ringleader (which will be decided by best performance or vote), who will earn 5 extra credits. The worst performing team will be vulnerable to The Ring. The Ringleader will then select one of the other two teams to also send someone into The Ring. The selected team and the last place team will then have a vote, where any player who receives at least one vote will be eligible to be selected by the Ringleader. The Ringleader will then choose one player from each vulnerable team, and those two players will face off in The Ring. The loser is eliminated from the game.

### Rounds 9-10

Individuals will compete in a daily challenge. The best performing player will become the Ringleader and earn 15 credits. The worst performing player will be declared last place and automatically go into The Ring. Everyone except the Ringleader and the last place player will participate in a house vote. The player with the majority of the votes will head into The Ring with the challenge loser, and the Ringleader will choose someone who got at least one vote to join those two, forming a three-way elimination. Those three will compete in a challenge where the worst performing player is eliminated and the other two earn 5 credits each.

### Round 11

The players will be separated in two heats of 5. Each heat has a Ringleader and a loser. Both losers will go into The Ring, and both Ringleaders will select someone who didn't win or lose to join them in The Ring. The two worst performing players in The Ring will be eliminated.

### Credit System

Daily Win: +10

Ringleader: +5

Elimination Win: +5

Eliminated players may give away any amount of their credits, but they cannot give more than 10 to the same player.
