Country Madness
Let's start with Country Madness!
Since there's an odd number of countries remaining, there will be an unlucky group of three, where only ONE of those three advances.
Now onto JetPunk Traitors!
JetPunk Traitors Voting Results
It looks like nobody played an advantage... so I will read the votes..

AManwith3Ears
That's two votes for AManwith3Ears
TigerPl
We have two votes for AManwithEars, and one vote for Duke, Gade, Salaam, Gekko, and Tiger.
DukeOfArrakis
Two votes each for DukeOfArrakis and AManwith3Ears
DukeOfArrakis
That's three votes for DukeOfArrakis, and two votes for AManwith3Ears.
DukeOfArrakis
DukeOfArrakis... that is four votes, and a majority in this case. You have unfortunately been eliminated from JetPunk Traitors.
Duke was...
an innocent.
The Traitors were FINALLY able to agree on someone to eliminate this time, and the Traitors have chosen to eliminate...
Gekko0923. You have been eliminated from JetPunk Traitors.
HOWEVER, Duke and Gekko's games aren't over. There's a twist for them, so I would recommend that you keep them in your private groups if they are already in yours, but they will still be removed from the group chat.
Duke and Gekko, expect another group invite, and don't tell anyone what the twist is.

Country Showdown - Challenge Results
We only had two teams participate in the challenge, so those two are both safe!
HOWEVER, KiloNova is currently going through a lot in life, so I gave his team safety for this round as well.
This means that Teams Balkan+, KiloNova, and McKenzieFam are safe.
No advantages will be given this round due to the automatic safety.
Teams Nickelz and hi111223 will be at risk this episode because of this.
(Also McKenzieFam, are you still interested in participating?)
Country Showdown - Voting Results
Last time, Romania, Palestine, India, South Africa, Indonesia, Sweden, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Thailand, and Laos were at risk of elimination.
A total of seven countries received at least one vote.
Those countries are..
Palestine
India
South Africa
Indonesia
Romania
Sweden
Thailand
If I call your name, you are safe.
India
Indonesia
Sweden
It comes down to South Africa, Palestine, Romania, and Thailand.
Three of these countries received nine votes, while one only received eight.
The final country safe is...
South Africa.
This means that Palestine, Romania, and Thailand have been eliminated.
Romania: Why am I eliminated? I told you, I'm not a vampire!
Thailand: But are you?
Malta: Bye Romania! You won't be missed!
Romania: Oh shut up.
Georgia: You're just mad.
(Saudi Arabia is munching down on popcorn.)
Palestine: This is an outrage.

Lore
I said this lore will be larger than usual, but there has been some events going around the site, so it will be around the same length this time.
Team Balkan+
(The countries left off discussing who the leader would be.)
Malta: Georgia. You have to step up.
Georgia: Malta... I can't. I was the least known member of Team Balkan+ at the beginning of the game, so it wouldn't make sense for me.
Malta: But Georgia...
Saudi Arabia: I feel like Georgia should be leader. Malta would be a terrible leader to be completely honest.
Malta: Thanks for proving my point.
Montenegro: It should be Georg... zzzzzzzzzzz
Malta: He meant Georgia! Georgia is now the leader!
Georgia (Confessional): I don't WANT to be the leader, but I'm here for the team, so I have to step up.
Georgia: I'll do it.
Saudi Arabia (Confessional): I'm glad Georgia took the leadership role. Now I don't have a target on my back!
Team Nickelz:
(The countries left off arguing who the leader would be.)
India: Palestine's gone, so I should be leader since I was the only other one wanting to be leader.
Egypt: I want to be leader.
Azerbaijan: I want to be leader.
India (Confessional): Seriously...
Egypt (Confessional): I don't really want to be the leader. I just don't want to be led by India.
Azerbaijan (Confessional): I have to be leader to prove myself that I'm better than Armenia.
India: Let's decide in a fair way... Azerbaijan wasn't originally here and Egypt has less pyramids that Sudan, so there we go! Very fair!
Egypt: Bruh
Azerbaijan: Really...
Egypt (Confessional): India doesn't know the definition of fair... another reason why she shouldn't be leader.
Team KiloNova:
Kazakhstan (Confessional): I love a good old-fashioned battle, and Thailand's now eliminated, so I'm joining Sweden and South Africa's side to make the battle fun and fair!
Vietnam: Kazakhstan, are you with us or against us?
Kazakhstan: I'm against you, Laos, and Indonesia.
Vietnam: Why?
Kazakhstan: Because the battle must be fun and fair! 3 on 3!
Vietnam: Fine then. You sound like a nerd.
Team hi111223:
New Zealand: Why do I have my own segment. It's only interesting when there's more than one person here... so I'm going to start being extremely boring. Ooh... a book called "Weird Law From Every U.S. State" by hi111223. Hey viewers, did you know that it's illegal to take out a dog in public without the dog having a diaper in Mississippi! Wait... what's Mississippi?
Team McKenzieFam:
Northern Cyprus: I'm going to try this so called "taco".
(Northern Cyprus bites it and spits it all over Guyana.)
Northern Cyprus: YUCK... THAT'S HORRIBLE!
Guyana: I will never have a taco again for as long as I live.
Singapore: I'm not having a taco ever again either.
Guyana: Now I need to go to the McKenzieFam washroom... bye.
Singapore: So Northern Cyprus... let's talk about Guyana while he's gone.
Northern Cyprus: He's so weird... it's like he was hit with a normal ray. I've never met a normal person before!
Singapore: Is this because the only people you interact with are Cyprus and Turkey?
Northern Cyprus: Yes
Singapore: I feel for you.
(Little do they know, Guyana was eavesdropping on their conversation.)
Guyana (Confessional): My team doesn't like me... fine then. It's not like they can eliminate me.
Challenge - Value Gamble

For this challenge, each participating country has to pick a number 1-10. The number that they pick is how much points that team earns from that country.
HOWEVER, there is a twist. If two countries in the same heat have the same number, then the number that they pick will be SUBTRACTED from the team value.
If two countries have the same number, but they're not in the same heat, then they won't lose points. It only counts if the two countries with the same value are in the same heat.
Please do this challenge before SATURDAY, APRIL 12TH, BY 6:00 PM CST!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
Voting
This is the smallest elimination ceremony yet.
Only four countries are at risk of being eliminated this round.
Those countries are..
New Zealand
India
Egypt
Azerbaijan
The country with the most votes will be eliminated, and you are voting to eliminate a country.
You can vote up to TWELVE times, and you can only put EIGHT votes on the same country.
Voting closes on SATURDAY, APRIL 12TH, BY 6:00 PM CST!
This is my first time using dividers. Hopefully they look good.
Anyways, this is my first combination of multiple series, so I hope you enjoyed!
Yes, dividers look great
I'll use these from now on
