Episode 5 - Blind Man's Bluff

[Ahyoung]

Hardest ever Death Match, as I said. And this is just the first round, presumably the easiest. Nfi

[Ahyoung]

Kyunghoon is winning!! Go go go, you can do it! I will be sooooo happy to see Yoonsun leave, spoken the least to her out of anyone.

[Ahyoung]

Kyunghoon People getting rid of my enemies while I sit back in safety, it's pretty swell.

[Ahyoung]

How do you feel about Kyunghoon being in the Death Match and selecting Yoonsun?

Obviously I was thrilled about it If you're not with me, you're against me, so she was top of my list to see go. She messaged me in one match only. Yeah yeah two way street yada yada yada but w/e I knew she wasn't interested in working with me, and that she was unlikely to be a formidable DM opponent, so my energies were best spent elsewhere.

What do you make of Dongmin winning and selecting Hongchul to be immune?

Not surprised to see him win since we had a lot of the information in our group chat, plus he had another one with the grapes. We split guesses between the four of us to make sure someone would get points, ofc I picked the wrong answer twice I still blame Eunji. As for him selecting Hongchul...it did set off mild alarm bells but I'm not going to get far if I'm constantly paranoid. Just calm down and trust your closest ally, Ahyoung. And I DID tell him he didn't have to pick me if it wasn't Sunggyu or Yoonsun in the DM. His explanation made sense, why pick me or Jinho to be safe when we're aligned with Kyunghoon anyway, it's not like he would pick us for the match. And this way it hides how close we are. I just need to be cautious of Hongchul and Dongmin becoming too tight. Dongmin is MY main ally, Hongchul needs to back off If they start making me uncomfortable I'll need to reel in Jinho and Kyunghoon much closer. Am I already Jinho's number 1? I still don't knooooow! I hope so He's pretty awesome too. Kyunghoon is harder to figure out, but I still like him a whole bunch.

What did you think of the Main Match? Was it enjoyable? Did you feel like your strategy was sound?

Like I say every round, time time time! I just needed more time to strategise. What I did manage was...adequate, I suppose. Just talk to as many people as possible and be open with everyone. I did have a good time, actually It was fun playing with a team, the guys I've mentioned above. I kind of get the feeling Hongchul is suspicious of me now though. We had that trio with us and Kyungran and I lied about picking the blind for round 8 by accident, and I told him I didn't want to spread his info as mine. I did suggest it to him in the first place which was stupid of me. Got cold feet about lying to everyone. He approached Dongmin to do the same once I said no. I actually only intended to tell Dongmin about Hongchul doing that, but posted it in group thread by accident Got to be more careful with that shit. So Jinho is kind of sus on Hongchul now...which actually could turn out to be in my favour? I wouldn't be surprised to see Hongchul go against me next round. He seems like a very tricksy player, I'm a little frightened of him. I do think I can trust Dongmin, Jinho and Kyunghoon...probably? I like that foursome and I want to play as far as possible with them. The other four, not so much. Eunji-Sunggyu-Hongchul is the order I'd like to see them leave in. I'll leave Kyungran out for now as she seems sweet.

[Ahyoung]

What was the most similar game to this on the Genius? I can't really remember anything quite like it. I think it's pretty cool though. And actually, by not giving us time at the start to strategise it lessened the chance of a group victory, which would probably be less fun to see than everyone battling it out

[Bandage Man]

This was pretty much an original creation, although it had aspects of Stormy Stock Market and Scamming Horse Race to it.
