Imma use <^~^> everywhere now-

You have been picked up by a limo for the competition and brought to the VRM (Virtual Reality Masters) HQ.  You have been brought to a small room with a VR headset and controllers.

The person who escorted you there closed the door and the lights dimmed.  A voice came on the high-quality surround-sound speakers:

...

"Welcome contestants. You are of the lucky 19 to have ordered the virtual reality set that had THE GOLDEN TICKET, a code to participate in this experiment. As you are probably aware, we have been designing a human-like Ai. In this experiment, you will be placed in a virtual world with the other contestants and the Ai, who will be attempting to convince you that it is another human player. Your job is to figure out who is not a real person. There will be multiple phases of the game. At the end of each one, someone will be eliminated from the game.

At the end of each phase, everyone will vote for who they believe is the ai. The ai will not vote. In the chance there is a tie, the player staying will be chosen randomly.

Please put on your headset and begin."

...

When you put the headset on, you feel a slight tingling sensation as the screens on the goggles show the building that you are now in and the players that have logged in.  Floating words in front of your eyes say "YOU HAVE BEEN LOGGED IN".  Everything around you looks real... And feels real too!

There's a small circle floating above your right shoulder.  If you touch it, you will have a sky-view map of the neighborhood and where other players are in front of you, as well as a few red dots showing some key spots.  If you touch a red dot, it gives you a brief description of the destination.  Touch the X in the upper right corner to return to the game.

You can feel your headset on your head and you are capable of taking it off, making your avatar freeze in place as you return to the white room in which you were placed.
