Episode 5 - Blind Man's Bluff

[Kyungran]

Just like I *fail at typing.

Sorry that I haven't reflected on the last Main Match. Have been moving house AKA having the most stressful and painful days of my life.

[Bandage Man]

All good I hope that this main match provides a fun and lighthearted stress-free evening.

[Kyungran]

I'm already hunched over in my chair with an aching back and heart palpitations.

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

Finally getting around to this. It'll be brief as I can't remember too many of the details!

I didn't enjoy this Main Match as much as some of the others. Again, when there's a lot of information to work with in a limited timeframe I find it doesn't give you a lot of room to be creative in your approach. It wasn't until the final rounds that I did anything interesting - namely creating three fake clues for Hongchul.

Ahyoung, Hongchul, and I worked closely in the Main Match. I was at the lower end of the scoring by the final rounds, so I wanted to do something to increase my odds of staying out of last place. I couldn't lie about my own clues as everyone knew I had already been blind and knew my clues would have to be correct. However, Hongchul had not yet been blind, so I came up with an idea. I wanted the three of us to be the only ones to truly know when Hongchul was blind, forcing the others to guess. I did this by creating fake clues for Hongchul to distribute that were logically consistent with the clues of other players, but not obviously so. I think it worked as Kyunghoon and Jinho both messed up their last two guesses.

I suspect Hongchul (and probably Ahyoung too) were sharing things with Dongmin. Not only because Dongmin gave Hongchul the Token of Life, but also because in round 6 the four of us all were wrong in guessing Yoonsun.
