Minority Rule 3.0

Hello all! Minority Rule is a survival game, originally inspired by a manga called Liar Game. (If you played in any of the previous games, the biggest change is that Hero status is completely different from before.)

The rules are simple. At the start of a round, the host presents a pool of Items for players to select from. Each player picks an Item by PMing the host. At the end of the round, the picks are tallied. The players that voted for the Item with the most picks are eliminated. If there's a tie for most picked, all players who voted for the tied Items are eliminated. The number of Items in Item Pools will always be fewer than the number of remaining players. Additionally, each Item is unique and may result in other events happening, such as players gaining statuses (see below). By default, the game continues until there are 2 or fewer players left, at which point those players win.

So say there were three zombie layers and two normal players.
The two normal players choices are X and Y.
The three zombie players all pick Cure.

Are the zombie players then elimated fully for picking the most popular item, or are they just turned back to normal?

They're eliminated for picking the majority Item - Cure. They get turned back into normal players right before, but it doesn't matter.

[GiglameshDespair]

Ah, I get it.
In, then.

I 'member this.

[ShadowHammer]

Cool, I'll join.

I'm assuming that with illusion we don't know what that the item is in fact illusion, you'll just tell us what it appears as?

Yup.

The ability to have multiple statuses seems contradictory: you'd have an automatic win condition, as well as a standing order saying you can't win. I assume that in that scenario, zombie would take precedence?

Yeah. I should reword Zombie to clear that up.

Zombie - If a Zombie wins the game, s/he loses the game instead.

In.

I'm going to overthink this in the ultimate Wine In Front of Me scenario and end up losing because everyone else did the same, aren't I?
