Flexible

Format

 * Flexible is a social strategy game where players will aim to survive votes while being paired with a new player each round.


 * Each round, the one pair who receives the most votes will be eliminated from the game.


 * Whenever a pair votes the same, then they will increase their Bond for future rounds. Having a stronger bond means those players will have more votes to cast in future rounds where they are paired again.


 * Whenever a pair has increased their Bond, it is publicly revealed after the vote.


 * Therefore, if a pair has voted together for the same pair in a round and is later paired together in a future round, that pair will each have two votes to cast in that round. Bonds stack by occurrence.


 * The first time a player succeeds in increasing their Bond with another player, they will receive a Shield. This is not per pairing and a player can only attain one Shield during the game. A player can choose to use their Shield during a round's vote before the votes are revealed. If they do so, any votes for their pair will be nullified.
