Fair, but you said mathematically. It's not OVER yet.

Hmmm... I thought I was catchable if I got both round 8 and 9 wrong though? let me do math because it's true I could get an extra garnet if I get them both right.

I'm just going to leave it where it is, one garnet isn't much in the scheme of things especially because I don't really want many garnets myself... I just want my allies to have lots of garnets haha.

Apologies for the delay.
Congratulations on winning the Main Match and surviving the 5th round!
How do you feel about Kyunghoon being in the Death Match and selecting Yoonsun?
What do you make of being the first solo winner of the game? How did you come to choose Hongchul as the person to be immune with you?
What did you think of the Main Match? Was it enjoyable? Did you feel like your strategy was sound?

Kyunghoon going was not ideal, but manageable. He is the most unpredictable and least useful of all my allies, so he was expendable. Tbh I did not expect him to beat Yoonsun, but obviously I am very glad he did. It remains to be seen whether Yoonsun was actually a dangerous player, she certainly was not the most talkative, but nonetheless she always seemed a bit dangerous to me so I'm glad she's out. I guess it shows that the Death Matches are higher variance than I had thought though, so I guess that has me a bit more on edge.
Haha, being the first solo winner of the game is a great honour! Tbh though, it was mostly off the back of Jinho and Ahyoung, who were very useful. I managed to keep up with them most of the way, but I think they were able to work out most of the puzzles better than I was. I just made the right guesses when they were needed, and used the information I had in the best way. Our group certainly was at an advantage as we had done well to win over Hongchul and Kyungran, and control most of the information while Yoonsun and Sunggyu and Eunji had comparatively less. We were also advantaged by having the majority of the blinds in the first round, which gave us a better idea of whose info was real. Despite this, I'm quite proud of the win. It certainly is about time.
My choice for Hongchul I feel made the most sense. I made sure I was abundantly clear that any of my allies were welcome to have the token if they needed it, though if they did not feel the particular need for it I wouldn't give it to them to 'hide our alliance'. Giving it to Hongchul I think wins him over to my side a lot more tightly, as before I wasn't exactly sure if he was 100% onboard. Additionally, he was the only person who I could potentially see Kyunghoon picking for the DM instead of a strawberry. Perhaps some people will raise eyebrows at the choice, but tbh he is hardly my tightest ally so they can raise as many eyebrows as they like... their assumptions will be incorrect. Tbh though, I doubt it would garner much suspicion.
Speaking of the strawberries, I think it's clear now that they are no longer a threat and perhaps never were. Despite this, they served their purpose. The original oranges I think are now by far the most powerful alliance and we bonded over a mutual plan to eliminate the strawberries. I think Hongchul and Kyungran are reliably on our side as well (though I'm not entirely sure what Kyungran is doing, she's a bit of a mystery to me tbh). I think I'll continue to talk up the oranges in our group chat and try to make sure we're bonded tightly together. I think if we keep the four strong with Kyungran and Hongchul remaining as tag alongs, we should have no trouble keeping control in the Main Match. Of course, the Genius game isn't quite as simple as that given the Death Match choice, but nonetheless it is the best we can do to give us the advantage. It's a shame I missed the dinner party though, I think it's time to reach out to Sunggyu and Eunji as so far I've had almost no contact.
I think the game was a good one! It was very well thought through, and there was a good mixture of strategy, problem solving, psychosocial ability and luck... so well done!

Ah, just found out from Ahyoung that apparently Eunji and Sunggyu have been painting me as 'well-connected' and as a threat at the dinner party, now I really wish I was there.
I'm tempted to confront them tomorrow, I think perhaps I will... So they know that people they are talking to are talking to me. It's a risk because it could galvanise them against me, but it could also scare them away and I kind of want them playing somewhat with me than straight against me and I think confronting them like that COULD help do that? idk... I'll see how I go.
More importantly, what damage will this have with my allies? Obviously it won't have much damage with Ahyoung, as she was the one who told me. I doubt that Jinho will care much either, if they even bothered to tell him. Kyunghoon is unpredictable, but I think i'll just say in the group thread 'i hear that people have been trying to throw me under the bus at the dinner party and say i'm well connected, i guess they're right because our group is super powerful and we have the potential to dominate, so let's keep going and take them out!' and hopefully kyunghoon will go along with that propaganda lel.
Hongchul I really hope I have 100% won over to my side after sunday, but nonetheless I might ask him about it... make sure he is still onboard.
Kyungran is who i'm most worried about, i just don't know where her head is at all and who she's working with. I can't decide if she just has nothing going on or whether she's more in with everyone than I think. The thing is, I like her the most and would want to keep her around for as long as possible. I think my plan for her will be to tell her honestly that the oranges are tight and sharing information and that was why I won last round, but that I'm doing everything I can to keep her safe in that group and that I'd rather go to the end with her than any of the oranges and that me telling her in the last round the info that Ahyoung bought to keep her safe should prove that. Idk though, I JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE HER HEAD IS AT
