Episode 4 - Sword and Shield

[Ahyoung]

Yaaaaaaaaaay Jinho!! I'm so happy :') He seemed to totally dominate that game, I may have underestimated his skills. So so glad that he's still in it, especially since I now know I can trust him! He and Dongmin are my two main guys

Congratulations on surviving to the fifth round!

What did you make of the Death Match between Yuram and Jinho? Are you happy with the result?

How did you feel about your performance in the Main Match? Was there anything telling about how anyone was playing?

If you could, rank each player out of 5 based on how much you would trust them to help you in a Death Match with 1 being "I am certain they would betray me." to 5 being "I know for a fact they would help me."

Congratulations on surviving to the fifth round!

Thank youuuuuuu! Single digits! I wouldn't be happy to be eliminated at this point, obviously, but I think I've made it far enough now that I wouldn't be absolutely mortified. Yay for small milestones

What did you make of the Death Match between Yuram and Jinho? Are you happy with the result?

Jinho killed it! Obviously I'm thrilled that he won, Jinho is one of the people I'm closest to, so I'd prefer him staying in to almost anyone else in the game.

How did you feel about your performance in the Main Match? Was there anything telling about how anyone was playing?

I sucked, I think? By the way we managed to nearly win despite Yuram being against us, I guess I didn't screw us up that badly though. I tried to give my opinion on what those guys should do once I was out, but I doubt I did anything great. The only thing I did well was not getting picked for the Death Match

Oh and yeah, am clearly assuming Yuram lost it on purpose.

If you could, rank each player out of 5 based on how much you would trust them to help you in a Death Match with 1 being "I am certain they would betray me." to 5 being "I know for a fact they would help me."

Dongmin: 5 He would do whatever he could to make me win.

Jinho: 5 I think he'd also do his best to make sure I survived.

Kyunghoon: 4. Hard to tell for sure, but I hope I'm one of the people in the game that he likes the best.

Kyungran: 4. I think she and Dongmin are close, so I want that to be extended to me. Maybe it is already, I tried to talk to her in the last round to make her trust me.

Eunji: 3. I spoke to her a little bit in the first three rounds, but we've never actually worked together on anything. It would depend who was in the death match. Against a strawberry she would either not help me or help us both, against anyone else I think she'd help both of us.

Hongchul: 3. Haven't got a clue either way. Hongchul and I started talking for the first time in the last game, but I doubt that's enough to really sway him.

Sunggyu: 1. When I'm in a game I always just assume the leader of the people I'm against has it out for me specifically. I don't have any evidence for this being the case, but I'm cocky and assume he sees me as a threat

Yoonsun: 1. No connection whatsoever.

I assume this means next round has a DM with a helping component? I'll take that into account.

Okay, so I want to have like a little summary of things that happened in Ep 4, but I'm too scared to put it in the episode thread Some things I want to say are best left out of recaps.

So at the start of it, before teams were made up, obviously I started talking to Dongmin straight away. We were hoping to be on separate teams so that we would have one of us there fighting to keep the other out of the DM, whichever way it went. He also suggested that one of us should throw the challenge, and said we should like an old post whenever our team was lying. I wasn't too sold on that idea (obviously as can be seen here, I don't really like people who betray their teammates), but I was open to it as a defensive strategy because I figured it was possible someone else might try to do it anyway. I was talking to Sunggyu, Kyungran, Kyunghoon and Jinho as well. Figured I should try get in at least a bit with Sunggyu since he seems to have so much power. Kyungran I was hoping to get on side since Dongmin said she could be with us against the rest. Kyunghoon, well when he said the game was like Coup I was like, another board game geek, I must talk to him!! So I just was talking to him about that and nothing game related. And then obviously Jinho because we always talk.

Once we saw the teams I was pretty disappointed to have everyone who would potentially fight to keep me out of a DM on my team I saw Yuram was alone and considered that she might try to make us lose it so her allies would be safe, but then I was like, no that's so dumb. As if we wouldn't pick her to be in the death match, she wouldn't screw herself over like that. Was I wrong? Idk. I have no idea if she really did sabotage us or not. I'm leaning towards yes, but you know, I don't actually care. It's entirely irrelevant. The fact is, I wanted her to be in the death match as soon as I saw my team. And it happened. Jinho actually said to me when I brought up to him that she was losing it on purpose, "most likely she knows she won't be picked for DM." Seems like he wasn't planning to himself, at that point? Which means that I was successful in convincing him that she was working against the team, and made him get rid of a strawberry for us. I told Dongmin that we should create a group chat and just agree between the four of us that whichever one of us got picked would choose her as their opponent, which he then did. Games are just more fun when you have enemies to plot against! One down, three to go! Although I suppose when they get down to one or two I can let up on going after them

I'd guess the others picked Jinho for the DM because they hoped the two of them would have bonded as fellow zombies last week, and that would make him pick someone else? I don't know. Jinho was a weird choice. I expected it to be me or Kyunghoon.

I think this sums up what I was doing well, do would prefer that in recap than nothing. Probably will still have nothing. I can only dream of being CPN5 someday.
