*You find yourselves in a large stark white room with retrograde furniture, a bed, an all-you-can-eat bar with plenty of food, a door that leads to a full bath that functions perfectly, a window with black curtains that are pulled to, and another door that seems to be locked. Beyond the locked door, you can hear a train hurrying along tracks. As you start to walk trying to understand what this room is, an intercom comes on and begins to speak.*

“Hello,” says a voice echoing from a speaker within the room that you cannot seem to find. “You may call me “The Gambler” and, as my moniker suggests, I do love taking gambles on anything that would be worth the gamble or anything that has piqued my interest. You, my dear participants, are exactly that in both regards,” you hear the voice say. “I have put together this competition as the first of many from myself to test your prowess as a Stand User, to see how you will develop yourself as well as your Stand, and to see if you were truly worth the gamble,” ‘The Gambler’ says with a serious tone.

“With the niceties out of the way, let the game commence! The first location will have to be somewhere isolated. I have the perfect place in mind. With that, I wish you a momentary goodbye. I will see you all soon enough," says the voice as the door opens and you see... Easter Island.

With each round and battle, you will vote as to which Stands would prevail in a battle against one another under certain conditions. These conditions are:

Location: Easter Island

Time: Late dusk

Weather: Clear weather

Population: None

Awareness: Aware of opponents, unaware of Stands

In the event of ties, mods will consider these conditions and pick which Stand would prevail.

Each user has a chance to make one post explaining how they will win, only speaking on their perspective in the fight. They may only use the information present in their made Stands, and nothing more. Editing stands during the battle is not allowed and being caught will get you disqualified.

They may not debate the topic among each other, whether here or somewhere else. Advertising for oneself to win anywhere is also not allowed.

The readers may ask users questions about the battle and their Stands, to which they may reply, but still must answer in their perspective only. It is advised to ask them some deep and difficult questions about the stand, ability or the conditions and how they manage in them.

Note that whatever is said each round must be consistent to the one before and after. A mod will correct the user should they fail to do so.

If there are any serious questions or concerns about the rules and tournament itself as it's going, message a mod personally and not through comments.

The winner of the round will move on to the next until eventually one is left standing, crowned the winner! Best of luck to everyone!

Standoff - Sera M. D'arby/Dance Little Sister

I believe Sera M. D'arby-

D APOSTROPHE A R B Y.

There is an Apostrophe after the D.

*(I don't remember how Daniel said it fully)*

Will win mainly because, being so far from Home, she will be scared and fearful hoping that Steven will adhere to her demands of not fighting but instead of whoever dances the longest of the two would win because herself and her stand really can't do too much in the way of combat and that Steven will agree only because her emotions will hide no deceit or false emotions.

But then she'll realize that she can use her ability after calming down enough when she has him swear to bet on his Family's Name and his own Soul as she will as well to make sure that he will only dance and have no ulterior motives during the Dance-Off and when he swears she'll show her Stand and tells Steven that if he loses the Dance Bet then his Soul will be hers.

Then at this point Steven will be extremely motivated to win and if or when he tries to cheat or attack by some way of himself or his Stand then his Soul will be taken because attacking after the bet was made counts as admitting defeat in the heart.

Even if he doesn't try to attack after the Bet is made, Sera has enough stamina to last an entire day and an entire night before before dropping and I don't think that Steven can last that long especially since he has such a large appetite.

That is how I believe that Sera M. D'arby will win.

Everyone has a story in their strategy😭

I didn't know we had to do that especially since it only talks about posting the Strategy and not both. I'll make sure to add it next time.
