[@SaikaAnge] well if your partner is alive you could ask for that too. But I guess the reason our GM got so many people is cuz she/he planned on offing many participants. But this rp could easily be played with a group of 3 people while also reducing the chances of one dying dramatically, making the consequences of failing a trail considerably more forgiving so it could take like 3 failed trials before you died.[@DemonMiyu] for example everyone could have a neck ring that injected poison or exploded upon the participant failing a certain number of trails. Making it more forgiving and more enjoyable a limited few players. You could also add a rule that if you kill a fellow player all your stacks of failed trails reset so if for example.ple you had 2 stacks and would die with one more, after killing a fellow player your stacks reset and know you need to fail 3 trails to die, assuming that after 3 failures you die but you could change that. 
This is me trying to keep this alive and I apologize if it seems like I'm not respecting your GMing skills.
