Are you an RPR Genius?
The Genius was a Korean reality game shpw based on social strategy that lasted for four seasons. Thanks for the work of dedicated fan translators, it maintains a rabid cult following. In The Genius, celebrities (and later on, ordinary people) compete in games designed to test logical thinking, psychological sharpness, social skills, and the ability to win people over, create and break alliances, and survive at all costs. You don't actually have to have been a straight A student or have a PhD to succeed here, though! Not even close. Just gameplay and people skills.

Also, here's a synopsis of how the game works from Wikipedia (actual articles there are spoilerific, so we're posting it here):
⦁ The Genius brings together 13 contestants from various sectors to compete for the top spot in rounds involving various games. Every episode, a contestant is eliminated following a main match and a death match.
⦁ The Main Match is a game that all the players will have to play in order to win, and the Death Match is only played by the elimination candidates. The winner(s) of the main match will gain a token of life as a form of immunity from elimination. In the event there is a sole winner, then that player receives an additional token of life to give to another player. The worst performer in the main match (or by specific criteria) is automatically sent to the death match, and is allowed to choose their opponent. However, they cannot choose a person with a token of life. In the event that there are joint losers, the winner(s) of the Main Match will nominate the death match player among the losers.
⦁ Beside the token of life, the winner of the main match will also gain a quantity of red garnets. Each garnet is worth 1,000,000 won (approximately US$1,000). In the final episode, only the champion's total garnets are exchanged for real money. Garnets are transferable and may be gained within the game. However, all forms of theft and violence are disallowed (as of Season 3). Because the show requires sharp thinking to win, every game is expected to be riddled with thrill and shock and is filled with loopholes for the players to exploit. Each contestant must figure out both the rules of the game and its secrets, and how they can win as quickly as possible. Players may join forces with others, betray them or simply eliminate their competitors, to either create a "beautiful defeat" or an "ugly victory".
⦁ Contestants are encouraged to use every means to survive. The 13 geniuses continue to get to the end of the game in order to grab the great prize money, and in the process, build their own characters.
As you might have figured, this thread is to announce applications for an online Genius game for RPR users! The game will feature 13 players handpicked by the three cohosts - Katia, Quadrophenic, and VelmiaWarin - who will ally, betray, compete, and outwit to be crowned the RPR Genius.
The game is a critical time commitment. Expect to finish around three months after the game begins. However, if you are up for the challenge, you'll have the time of your life, learn new things about yourself, and put your skills to the test...
And even if you're not interested in playing? We'd love to have you in our audience!
The game is played in a custom Discord server (this was approved by Kim) and the server will be opened and all players and audience invited when we open up shop.

⦁ This game is a crucial time commitment of about three months. While your time zone is completely irrelevant, we'd like you to understand this. Do you?:
Hope to hear from you all!
