There needs to be more information about the teleport power— can the person accidentally teleport into something solid and die (and how easy could it happen?)? has he had to seen the area before? is there a range limit? can the location be based off someone else's location or some other abstract/dynamic descriptor (the largest building, the least-inhabited area, etc.)
Death note guy seems like he'd be at a very large disadvantage.
Out of all the characters, he'd have no easy way of making money (and hence defense/offense) aside from maybe being a tyrant and hitman, which aren't that easy, and would bring lots of unwanted attention.
loop, teleport, and time stop all have similar features in that they can quite easily get out of (or prevent) a very bad situation quickly and easily, so which one winds out of them may just be dependent on their intelligence and luck.
Omniscence power probably gives the most most power. There would kinda have to be certain questions the power couldn't answer though, such as ones pertaining to the future, which just can't work. Teaming up with or somehow blackmailing/threatening death note person would give him a pretty easy and straightforward win.
edit: I misunderstood the looping power — seems like it would probably be the most powerful, but slightly dependent on the luck of the draw on what questions omniscent person asks for the first 3 days.

I know this is not what the discussion is for, but living 100years would make me realize that there is so much more in life than trying to figure out how to kill 4 guys. Or, repeating 3 days nearly infinately means I can get away with doing anything pleasent even if it is a crime. No.5 guy has to be a really dedicated person.

I think the first question has to be: can the players avoid the D1 GHG massacre/how would they do it, even if they knew 100% it was coming? It's tough to actually answer this, but I think time freeze guy is the only one who might be able to: he can use his 5 frozen hours to vanish completely (gather supplies, hide in the woods, steal a car that won't be reported in 3 days, or something). Teleporter guy is vulnerable to GHG because of his necessary "return" teleport (he can live, though, if he gives up his power, by teleporting to the middle of a jungle and not teleporting back). Death note guy has no chance and should die. Omniscient guy should die because even if his question saves him on D1, it can't be repeated, so he will be vulnerable days 2 or 3. Then time freeze would be up against a powerless (but VERY well prepared) GHG. Time freeze would probably win, but idk. GHG needs a nerf  . I fail to see a reason for him to not use his powers D1 and kill (at the very least) death note, teleporter and omniscient.
Because the omni guy simply can kill GHG with the question: "How do I kill GHG today without being caught."
The important thing is, that the answer will adapt to the behavior of GHG. Thus his 12000 tries would be worthless because omni guy can adapt to GHG but GHG would learn nothing from omni guy. most likely GHG would simply go insane because it would be sooooooooooo frustrating to try to battle omni guy with this question.
This would imply certain things:
omni guy is quite rich (maybe has access to a plane and/or a hitman)
omni guy didn't draw a fuckton of attention like winning 50 lotteries in a row (because of deathnote guy)
omni guy sticks to the answer and doesn't try to alter it because the movie plot is shit he's retard.

I can imagine this turned into a movie revolving around the the Groundhog Day guy. Having no "real" super ability, he would use intelligence and repetition to eventually learn how to defeat the first three enemies, but he can never get an upperhand against the "final boss" that is the omniscient guy. Mr. Omniscient becomes horribly frightening, and Groundhog Day starts to lose his mental stability with each successive failure. He resorts to convincing all the others that Mr. Omniscient is the most powerful, and they team up, only still to fail repeatedly. More and more he dreads the inevitable end. Finally Mr. Groundhog has run out of repeats and tries to enjoy his last days, having given up on the challenge. You see Mr. Omniscient methodically destroy the others, one by one, and then confront Mr. Groundhog last (knowing that he was no longer a threat). They meet in a quiet place and have a conversation as human beings for the first time. Then Mr. Omniscient wins, easily, as he knew he would all along.
Now if they can get Bill Murray to play Mr. Groundhog...

HOW is he in the submarine. GHGs period starts at the BEGINNING of the contest. so unless he was some nutjob ALREADY in a submarine, your argument is flawed.

Sorry, then I don't understand #5's power completely. I thought it was limited to a 3 day period. He kills GHG pretty far after the 3 day period because he has to use at least 8 days to find out how to kill everyone anyways.

his teleport cannot end his life. he is also restricted to the planet earth.
He can teleport anywhere he has a mental image of, or to a close proximity of someone he has a mental image of
no range limit, except "on earth"
And to everyone saying "Omniscient can just ask what happened in former loops" yeah, he can, but imagine HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE for the voice to convey all of that information, days, weeks, years, even the "previous loop" would take a significant amount of time to explain fully.

Hmm, that makes sense, but that also mean that omni can kill anyone 100% every day, by asking that question, no?

his main issue is surviving the 1st 3 days. after that he wins nearly by default.
If the others want to survive, correct me if im wrong, they need to help GHG kill omniscient before his 3 days is up, or they will certainly lose.

I think the first question has to be: can the players avoid the D1 GHG massacre/how would they do it, even if they knew 100% it was coming? It's tough to actually answer this, but I think time freeze guy is the only one who might be able to: he can use his 5 frozen hours to vanish completely (gather supplies, hide in the woods, steal a car that won't be reported in 3 days, or something). Teleporter guy is vulnerable to GHG because of his necessary "return" teleport (he can live, though, if he gives up his power, by teleporting to the middle of a jungle and not teleporting back). Death note guy has no chance and should die. Omniscient guy should die because even if his question saves him on D1, it can't be repeated, so he will be vulnerable days 2 or 3. Then time freeze would be up against a powerless (but VERY well prepared) GHG. Time freeze would probably win, but idk. GHG needs a nerf . I fail to see a reason for him to not use his powers D1 and kill (at the very least) death note, teleporter and omniscient. Because the omni guy simply can kill GHG with the question: "How do I kill GHG today without being caught." The fun thing is, that the answer may adapt to the behavior of GHG. Thus his 12000 tries would be worthless because omni guy can adapt to GHG but GHG would learn nothing from omni guy. most likely GHG would simply go insane because it would be sooooooooooo frustrating to try to battle omni guy with this question. This would imply certain things: omni guy is quite rich (maybe has access to a plane and/or a hitman) omni guy didn't draw a fuckton of attention like winning 50 lotteries in a row (because of deathnote guy) omni guy sticks to the answer and doesn't try to alter it because the movie plot is shit he's retard. Hmm, that makes sense, but that also mean that omni can kill anyone 100% every day, by asking that question, no?
pretty much, yes.
maybe teleport guy can escape him because he teleports to places unreachable within one day but i can hardly see him winning this except when he is suuuuuper cautious and overly intelligent.
time freeze guy has to see the danger coming to freeze time which isn't hard to take care of, for example with a sniper rifle.
deathnote guy seems to be the least dangerous unless he can figure out a way to guess the id of omni guy. or he searches a list with the richest ppl who got their money recently and randomly starts killing them. this would be a question of what these ppl did in the year of prep. if omni guy didn't hide well enough he might be killed by the deathnote guy and be forced to take the other ones with him.

I think adding a mind-reading power would be good for a 6th person.

By any chance, did you get this from a cartoon/comic? (non western)

I find guy 4 and 5 the most likely winners.
Guy 4 can choose from a number of offensive and defensive strategies (the hard part would be phrasing the questions to avoid getting screwed over by an impossible answer  ).
- Asking how to remove all traces of himself, using the remaining time to obtain information about the other and sending hitmen out to kill them (money should not be a problem).
- Going in the offensive to kill guy 3 and obtain his death note book and simply asking the right questions hereafter.
- Asking what would be his best strategy and executing it.
Guy 5 has to activate his ground hog thing within the first few days, before guy 4 gains an unstoppable upper hand. But even in activating it early guy 5 has only tipped the odds in his favor, since locating 4 other people around the globe and arranging their assassination within 3 days is something he could fail at.. even with a timespan of 100 years to do it. The most interesting outcome is him killing guy 4 leaving the battlefield open for the other players.
