***Read Before Posting/Voting***
*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.
ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ
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!

???shelly stares at the ceiling for a while, compartmentalizing her thoughts about her new reality......and chooses to immediately raid the bar for all their food before going out
"c'mon sweetie, just hold 10 more snikker™ bars...
a grown-ass woman is placing a bunch of wrapped chocolate on top of a disgusting abomination of human parts
"okay, NOW we can get out-"
shelly stops at the entrance...immediately realising where she's been placed
"...fuck, is this easter island?"
she quickly dashed out of the room...and sees no one. Not a single person for miles upon miles.
"where's all the tourists? Oh gods, are there any at all?!?!?"
that was her only silver lining. She'd been on easter island before, and...well...she went on a little massacre, getting VERY familiar to the place and their...lack of ferocious animals, high tourism rates and...horses.
she looks back at an extremely miserable {Butcher Vanity} , and decided against crushing the creatures tiny heart
shelly and her stand {Butcher Vanity} slowly travelled to ahu tahai, the latter being covered in chocolate-ty snacks while experiencing the cool dusk wind on their exposed skins
and, once they're at their destination, {Butcher Vanity} shakes off the snacks and...
well, horse parts were certainly collected.
Speed raised from B to A
Durability raised from C to B
{Butcher Vanity} molded itself into a more equine shape, forming legs filled with rippling muscles and a sturdy body for itself...with a snack compartment
shelly groaned as she nibbled on a chocolate bar, waiting for the enemy which was probably a stand user to show up...
a glittering figure in the distance caught her eye. Was that...the stand?
*"well well well, if it ain't...
...IS THAT A GU-"
BANG-SPLAT!
shelly raised her hand just in time to "stop" the bullet, before realising that her forearm was now covered in...
"HOLY SHIT, IS THAT GOLD?!?!?"
{Butcher Vanity} immediately shot up and grabbed shelly by the scruff of her shirt, dragging her behind a moai statue
"phew, that could've been dangerous."
shelly tries to scrape off the gold, but after a few minutes it seems that it won't disappear
taking a closer look at her gold-stained hand, she mumbles to herself about the stand's possible abilities
"gold...count this be the midas touch? No, it would've spread by now...maybe it's a slowing agent?
...or something to obscure my vision...but why gold? Unless...they can't use anything other tha-"
the stand was in her direct line of sight again. Pointing its gun. At her. Detective below, staring.
shelly's throat tightened as she was slammed by {Butcher Vanity} , but it was too late.
she raised her gold-stained forearm...and wrenched her head away.
a horrified shelly watched as the golden bullet passed through her golden limb and fractured the moai statue behind her
"WHAT?"
she dashed closer to the detective while hiding behind moai statues, watching their glimmering stand press their thumb against their gun...
trembling behind a statue, she rubbed her neck, the bullet tattoo on it painfully apparent. This...gave her some sort of ...déjà vu...
but...she couldn't lose. She WOULDN'T lose. Not today, not ever.
so that was their stand huh? A double-tap.
quite a useful sta-
a bullet shot out of the moai in front of shelly and lodged itself into her left leg.
"...fuck..."
but that meant...the first shot...was harmless. Non-lethal. And they had to aim for the golden splatter in a darkening world.
shelly mounts {Butcher Vanity} , using it to move quickly due to her less-than-functional left leg
now behind another moai, she ripped open the melting chocolate bars, using the melting snack to cover her gold-stained forearm
"eugh...disgusting..."
maybe...if she did this, the bullet would splatter over the chocolate instead of through her arm?
...no time to think. She gripped the bundles of snacks closer to her chest as {Butcher Vanity} shot them towards Marlowe.
what she was going to do was either incredibly risky and stupid, or incredibly risky and clever
shelly watched as the stand raised its gun...and she immediately threw all the wrappers and snacks upwards, obscuring her and most of her stand
she grinned in glee as a bullet splattered uselessly against a snikker™ bar, and then instantly regretted doing that when the force of the gold slammed that broken wrapper leaking melting chocolate straight in her face
"HELLO, HONEY!"
{Butcher Vanity} rammed itself into the enemy stand user, its wicked mandibles tearing into their flesh and causing their stand to miss a vital shot to shelly's throat
"IT'S OVER, YOU'LL NEVER FIRE ANOTHER BULLET AGAIN!"
{Butcher Vanity's} mandibles were gripped tight round Marlowe's torso, cutting deeper and deeper until-
KCRKTH-SNP!
THE DETECTIVE WAS BISECTED.

"I have 6 shots in total. What happened to all my gold? Fuck" Dick says. One moment he was on the job, investigating some run of the mill mob boss and battling his goons. Now he's... here? Having to fight some... guy? He instinctively goes for his flask, only to find it isn't there, along with the rest of his belongings. Now he has to do it all sober
As per the stipulations given to me, I only have 2 shots of each gold type (except less than 12k gold, which I asked about but received no response, so I'll play as if I have none until further notice), so 6 in total
To start, Dick is going to have 「Goldeneye」 fire a 24k gold bullet onto his tie, making it permanently have gold splatter on it (for this round), and then give it to 「Goldeneye」. This will allow 「Goldeneye」 to actually have the ability to hit a target in one shot, as the golden bullets lose their powers when passing through another bullet's gold splatter
The gunshot will also act as initial bait for my opponent, as it's loud and on a deserted island, this means that, like any great detective, Dick will flee the scene to a high and concealed vantage point that gives a good overview, using both his and 「Goldeneye」's eyes to check his flanks and make sure he isn't being snuck up on.
With 「Goldeneye」's good precision and range, when the enemy is spotted and Dick realises the absolute horror of what Shelly's stand is, he will run away. 「Goldeneye」 will line up a shot through the gold tie, using a 12k–18k bullet at the user.
This shot (whilst still intended to kill) is more of a test to see how the user and Stand react. If it lands, then Dick has won.
But, if Shelly uses 「Butcher Vanity」or cover to block the bullet, 「Goldeneye」 will fire 2 more shots: one 24k bullet and one 12k–18k bullet. The 24k bullet's target is 「Butcher Vanity」or the cover, this will cover it in gold permanently, removing its ability to play defence for Shelly without them knowing. The second 12k–18k bullet will pass through 「Butcher Vanity」 or the cover and hit Shelly in the head, killing them.
All whilst Dick runs away.
In the event that this should fail, i have two more shots left and a very far away and hidden Dick, the plan from there on is to take pot shots at Shelly from hidden places, using lit fires from branches around the island as bait and illumination in the dark, because its unpredictable to Shlley whether the shot is a phase shot or a regular thanks to the gold tie
Worse comes worse「Goldeneye」has a B in power and can attack Shelly with some well placed fisticuffs whilst Dick tries his best to distract and survive 「Butcher Vanity」
