Any number of participants can enter the game. Now, there are only two numbers of participants, Alpha Homer was entrusted to be Alpha by the small version of Andrea, and Franklin who was entrusted fully by Andrea. In the game, there are two sets.

There were twenty-nine players left altogether. "The other schools will hide while you'll try to kill them. Only Oakbay is allowed to use weapons"

[Atticus] Laz records the results, documenting this decision in the meeting log and we move on to the next element of the game--choosing the method. As last year’s winner, I get to choose. “I thought we’d go a bit ‘old school’ for this year’s game,” I announce as I stand and pull an old deck of cards from the pocket of my jacket. “Like Old Testament.

“And you are at home. It will not harm you.” “I know,” he said. “But my mind cannot accept it.” There it was. The truth. The thing behind all the shaking and fear. “It is ok. I can understand,” I said softly. “Do you wanna play a game? Maybe it will distract you.
