Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Quick rule update: a player asked what happens if there is a tie. This should cover all situations:
If there is a two-way tie for second place, both losing teams will be posted as if it were the "median" team and the winning team gains a point.
If there is a two-way tie for first place, the losing team is posted as if it were the "median" team and the winning teams are informed they are in a two-way tie and to submit beans to break the tie. If the tie remains after a tiebreaker, then the winning point goes to any or all teams.
If there is a three-way tie, the teams are informed they are in three-way tie and to submit beans to break the tie. If the tie remains after a tiebreaker, then the winning point goes to any or all teams.
If two teams reach 3 points at once, both teams are joint winners and the EC and DMO are chosen from the third team.
If, by a strange and sudden miracle, all three teams hit 3 points at once, the team with the most beans left wins.
Currently, only one participant has actually sent in the required actions for Bean's Dilemma. We will be PMing the users who have not submitted. You have until tomorrow at 4PM EST to submit actions.
A tie for first place has occurred.
Team Violet and Team Veridion must agree on a number of beans to send to break the tie for first place for this round.
Team Vermillion, who submitted 0 beans, had the lowest number of beans submitted.
The deadline for the tiebreaker is tomorrow at 4PM EST.
Team Vermillion: 0
Team Violet: 0
Team Viridian: 1
Please submit all beans within 24 hours of this post. Round 2 has begun. We would prefer that you state "0 beans" if you plan to submit 0 beans in your confessional, but if you really must, no response will be treated as 0 beans.

I apologize about the wording in the tiebreaker scenario; I meant that each team individually must send a number of beans and that the team that submitted the most beans of the two would be the winner of the round.
We will only announce who won, but not the amount of beans submitted.
After the tiebreaker, both teams submitted the same number of beans, meaning Team Violet (IvyRanseiDot Agumon) and Team Vermillion (duckYoshiClefable) both Gain 1 Point
Team Vermillion: 1
Team Violet: 1
Team Viridian: 1
Please submit all beans within 24 hours of this post. Round 3 has begun. We would prefer that you state "0 beans" if you plan to submit 0 beans in your confessional, but if you really must, no response will be treated as 0 beans.

Sorry to all about the oversight when creating rules. To clarify, the 'Team C' rule still exists. If, after 5 rounds' the score is 2-2-1, the team with 1 point will win. The rule change is that multiple teams can no longer get points from 1 round. Tiebreakers will continue until 1 team has submitted more beans, and in the event of all teams submitting 0 beans, a 1 bean minimum will be put in place for each player.
As stated in your individual confessionals, game and will continue from where it would have left off under these improved rules. Please ignore my previous post.
In the first Round 2 Tiebreaker, both teams submitted the same number of beans, meaning Team Violet (IvyRanseiDot Agumon) and Team Vermillion (duckYoshiClefable) must send beans for the 2nd Round 2 Tiebreaker. You have 24 hours from this post
Again, apologies for the oversight. This was discussed heavily by hosts and viewed as the best solution. We still aim to be finished by the end of February.

Due to the confusion caused by reversing events that had happened, I was relaxed with deadlines for that tiebreaker round, but from now on submissions will be locked at the stated deadline
Team Vermillion (duckYoshiClefable) have won the point for Round 2
Team Vermillion: 1
Team Violet: 0
Team Viridian: 1
