[Bandage Man]

Episode Two - Radio Scramble

Before the events could even begin, Hongchul had an announcement:

Mar 5, 2016 19:14:10 GMT 10 Hongchul said:

I seriously doubt I make 10:30. Do I just get put in a death match or something?

Mar 5, 2016 20:18:04 GMT 10 Bandage Man said:

If you fail to show up, you will get put in the death match. Don't list a time if you're not actually available for it.

And so the cast were playing for immunity from Hongchul's pick as well as playing for Garnets.

[INSERTRADIOSCRAMBLE]

Some players were focused on understanding the game

Mar 6, 2016 9:25:01 GMT 10 Ahyoung said:

In Confessional:
A game not on the Genius I don't know how I will cope with this. Just lay back and try to talk to everyone I guess, and make as many people not vote for me as possible. But that is what everyone will be doing.

Mar 6, 2016 9:27:05 GMT 10 Yoonsun said:

Is there no way for garnets to influence the game this time? Before you told us the way they did in the opening post, so I'm assuming not.

Mar 6, 2016 9:40:13 GMT 10 Junghyun said:

My brain is as scrambled as these radio stations are going to be!!!

Mar 6, 2016 9:34:29 GMT 10 Kyunghoon said:

To Ahyoung:

im just a bit confused with the rules!

Mar 6, 2016 9:37:13 GMT 10 Ahyoung said:

Haha so let me see if I can make this simpler than what he had - we each get a radio show in 3 of the 9 timeslots each round, and we choose to scramble a show in all 9 timeslots. The one that is most scrambled in each timeslot gets no points for that timeslot. Our radio shows change each round. So on a basic level, let's just not scramble each other's shows More than that, I'm not sure yet.

While some were distracted with other... concerns

Mar 6, 2016 9:26:35 GMT 10 Dongmin said:

Mar 6, 2016 9:26:51 GMT 10 Dongmin said:

WHERE IS SHE?

Mar 6, 2016 9:33:34 GMT 10 Yuram said:

hey bandage man~

whats your faaaaaaaaaaaavourite radio station~

But the conversations for round 1 had already begun with some people talking for the first time and sharing their woes

Mar 6, 2016 9:40:13 GMT 10 Junghyun said:

To Yoonsun:
Do you know what you're doing? lol My brain is as scrambled as these radio stations are going to be!!!

Mar 6, 2016 9:51:41 GMT 10 Yoonsun said:

Hey Junghyun! I am hella confused by all this. 30 minutes doesn't seem like enough!

Mar 6, 2016 11:45:49 GMT 10 Dongmin said:

To Hyunmin:
It's curious that we haven't messaged at all haha <3 I guess so far we've had no reason to given our fruit groups.

Anyway, just thought I'd send you a message to see what your thoughts are about this game and how it's going! Even though we haven't been in the same group for anything yet, I feel like it's good to have communication lines open!!

Mar 6, 2016 11:49:53 GMT 10 Hyunmin said:

Good idea!
Yeah at the moment ive just been messaging people ive worked with already. I presume you have been doing the same?

And some seeking comfort and safety in their fruit groups from the previous game

Apples: Ahyoung, Hyunmin, Kyungran, Sunggyu
Strawberries: Yoonsun, Yuram, Eunji, Sunggyu
Oranges: Yuram, Jinho, Dongmin, Kyunghoon, Ahyoung

Mar 6, 2016 10:09:47 GMT 10 Kyunghoon said:

To Dongmin:
hi hyung!! happy to work with you again! its so hard to please everyone in this game but i think i would be working with the orange group with you, more or less!!

Mar 6, 2016 10:11:07 GMT 10 Dongmin said:

I agree, unfortunately individual threads don't have much use for this round it seems... I think it's all about the group! I'm all for sticking with the oranges.

Mar 6, 2016 9:41:19 GMT 10 Hyunmin said:

Apple Group Discussion:
Morning old Apples

Mar 6, 2016 9:42:14 GMT 10 Kyungran said:

An apple a day keeps the Death Match away

How are we all?

Mar 6, 2016 9:45:08 GMT 10 Hyunmin said:

I want to cry, but apart from that pretty good

Mar 6, 2016 9:48:01 GMT 10 Sunggyu said:

Good morning Apples. I am not quite sure of the rules when I thought I was. I am happy to be strategising with the apples again though since we were the most dependable fruit last week. Sadly though I don't yet have any thoughts as to what could be done.

And the information flowed freely amongst Strawberries; Yoonsun, Yuram, Sunggyu and Eunji.

Mar 6, 2016 9:46:42 GMT 10 Yuram said:

Strawberry Group Discussion:
if we are happy to share our info we can make sure we make the best decisions for us?

Mar 6, 2016 9:37:29 GMT 10 Yoonsun said:

Strawberries

If Hongchul doesn't appear this could be relatively simple? Let's hope so!

Mar 6, 2016 9:41:35 GMT 10 Yuram said:

i think what will end up being important is seeing who is lying about what they have

because i am sure not all will be honest so it will be up to how the groups are given out each round to be sure we can keep track

my group: dongmin, hongchul, me

dongmin - silver 7:30, combo 7:30, xyz 8:30
hongchul - xyz 5:00, combo 5:00, zyx 7:00
yuram - silver 6:00, triple q 6:00, silver 7:00

Mar 6, 2016 9:48:02 GMT 10 Yoonsun said:

I'm with Kyungran and Jinho. I think everyone is going to have two times identical? And it'll get messy if those also double-up.

Jinho:
XYZ: 6:30
Triple Q: 6:30
Combo: 8:00

Yoonsun:
XYZ: 5:30
Silver: 5:30
Silver: 8:00

Kyungran:
Combo: 6:00
Triple Q: 9:00
Combo: 9:00

Mar 6, 2016 9:51:06 GMT 10 Eunji said:

This is what we need to avoid from our group

5:00 Silver
5:30 XYZ Silver
6:00 Silver Triple Q
6:30
7:00 Triple Q Combo
7:30 XYZ
8:00 XYZ Triple Q Silver
8:30 XYZ
9:00

Mar 6, 2016 9:54:56 GMT 10 Yuram said:

fun fact: i am also talking to the oranges, although there are too many there to trust, and dongmin claimed to be on Triple Q at 8:30 when he is actually on XYZ

Mar 6, 2016 9:56:37 GMT 10 Yoonsun said:

If we sabotage Hongchul for not being here that'll avoid clashes with Eunji. Then we can figure out the rest as necessary of those we're not with?

Mar 6, 2016 10:09:30 GMT 10 Eunji said:

I only really care about this group tbh
I have voted.

And some saw to focus on working within their group for the round:

Mar 6, 2016 9:43:02 GMT 10 Kyungran said:

Group 4 Discussion:
Hey Jinho and Yoonsun - nice to see you again

Group 4 for the win!

Mar 6, 2016 9:45:22 GMT 10 Yoonsun said:

Good morning Kyungran and Jinho! Lovely to see you both.

Wasn't expecting individual players to have two shows in the same time-slot. It must be true for everyone? Let's figure this out.

Mar 6, 2016 9:47:03 GMT 10 Jinho said:

I think they were random and we got unlucky but maybe we can all make this to be lucky instead

Mar 6, 2016 9:44:01 GMT 10 Junghyun said:

Group 3 Discussion:
hi all.. so we need to vote for the time slots that none of us are spinning the turntables on!

Mar 6, 2016 9:46:59 GMT 10 Hyunmin said:

That sounds easy enough

8:30 we have 3/4

Mar 6, 2016 9:48:38 GMT 10 Junghyun said:

None of us have XYZ so can we vote for XYZ in every time slot?

Mar 6, 2016 9:52:45 GMT 10 Ahyoung said:

#confused

But yes, let's just not vote for each other. None of us have XYZ did you say?

Mar 6, 2016 10:00:51 GMT 10 Junghyun said:

Great, Ahyoung what do you think?

I learnt last week (the hard way) that its best to stick with your team lol. Theres no way of knowing who we will be put with next round so we just need to do whats best for us three in this round.

Mar 6, 2016 10:00:23 GMT 10 Ahyoung said:

Yep, sounds good. Simple is preferable

Mar 6, 2016 9:58:59 GMT 10 Hyunmin said:

Yeah ok im down with that

Some people wanted to scheme against others rather than looking for their own safety, and Kyunghoon pleaded to his Grape allies for assistance:

Mar 6, 2016 9:48:14 GMT 10 Kyunghoon said:

&nbsp;i really just want to target any of the three lemonade people because they duped me the last round. can we share each other's times here?

Mar 6, 2016 9:52:32 GMT 10 Kyungran said:

Who screwed you over? If we post their times here we could always target them

Mar 6, 2016 9:54:31 GMT 10 Kyunghoon said:

HONGCHUL, JUNGHYUN AND HYUNMIN

Mar 6, 2016 9:54:12 GMT 10 Dongmin said:

I think Hongchul will be at a huge disadvantage Kyunghoon, so you may get your wish. Even so, I'm happy to help you out where possible and target whoever you like.

And to his Oranges

Mar 6, 2016 9:47:42 GMT 10 Kyunghoon said:

Orange Group Discussion:
ok guys i think i will just target hongchul or hyunmin or junghyu because they duped me last round.

But he and Eunji had been talking in private, frustrated with the lack of consolidation with the Grapes as a whole

Mar 6, 2016 10:11:14 GMT 10 Eunji said:

Our grapes are not the most forthcoming people I think we should look out for each other here!

Mar 6, 2016 10:12:29 GMT 10 Kyunghoon said:

yes!!! i am just targetting the lemon people and im sorry but kyungran will also take a hit she doesnt even want to talk to us!

Mar 6, 2016 10:14:50 GMT 10 Eunji said:

These are my votes

5:00 - XYZ
5:30 - Triple Q
6:00 - Combo
6:30 - Combo
7:00 - XYZ
7:30 - Triple Q
8:00 - Combo
8:30 - XYZ
9:00 - Combo

The strawberries should all be doing the same, we have avoided all of your stations also.

Mar 6, 2016 10:18:25 GMT 10 Kyunghoon said:

yep im talking to the orange people and they shouldn't be voting your way also.

But they were not the only Grapes developing stronger one on one bonds

Mar 6, 2016 9:20:21 GMT 10 Kyungran said:

In Confessional:
My initial thoughts going into this Main Match are that information is the currency here. I'm going to suggest to Dongmin that we share our groups' information and plan accordingly to keep as many votes off each other's shows as possible.

Mar 6, 2016 9:32:02 GMT 10 Kyungran said:

To Dongmin:
Hey Dongmin! Great to see you again How was your week?

If we encourage our groups to NOT share our information, hopefully you and I will have an advantage knowing about 6 people's times instead of only 3.

Mar 6, 2016 9:35:35 GMT 10 Dongmin said:

I love that you were the first inbox I received <3 I agree that sharing our information is key here. I'll also share whatever information I can gather with you, but I agree that sharing our info with as few people as possible is important in gaining the knowledge advantage.

Mar 6, 2016 9:39:39 GMT 10 Kyungran said:

Of course <3

Absolutely - if we find out other information outside of our groups we should share it too. I'm not sure about working with a bigger group. If it gets suggested to us I'm open to it, but part of me thinks we'll be strongest if it's just the two of us who can completely trust one another.

Mar 6, 2016 9:51:34 GMT 10 Dongmin said:

Dongmin:
Silver: 7:30
Combo: 7:30
XYZ: 8:30

Hongchul
XYZ: 5:00
Combo: 5:00
XYZ: 7:00

Yuram
Silver: 6:00
Triple Q: 6:00
Silver: 7:00


Here's mine. I should tell you that the oranges have started up a group chat and Yuram has already shared my information amongst them :/ I think a lot of the fruits will be working together, especially the strawberries given how well they did. I'll tell you the info I get from orange as it comes in!

However Kyungran was not Dongmin's only fan

Mar 6, 2016 9:32:57 GMT 10 Ahyoung said:

To Dongmin:
Hello again! I hope we're able to work together in this round like we did in the last How do you feel about this game?

Mar 6, 2016 9:37:39 GMT 10 Dongmin said:

Ah, Ahyoung <3
Good to hear from you again. I am very confused about this game. I really don't know what the best strategy is, but for now I'm willing to say that I'll gladly look out for you if you're interested in doing the same for me. You obviously know how to find success in these games haha, so I hope I can learn something from you this week

Mar 6, 2016 9:41:37 GMT 10 Ahyoung said:

I know! I was reading it over trying to think when it had been played before, but no, just a new concept I mean, good for him coming up with something different, but not so good for those of us who have seen the show and would know what to do! I'll look out for you of course And I hope our Oranges will prove useful as well. I suspect the strawberries would also have a group like that.

Mar 6, 2016 9:47:09 GMT 10 Dongmin said:

Hopefully this will be a fairly low-stakes game if Hongchul doesn't show up. Selfishly I guess I hope he doesn't, though I must admit it will add some fun!

Has your other fruit group started anything up? You're right that the strawberries will definitely get something going given how well they worked last week. Those fruit groups will definitely play a role I think, how interesting. I better make sure that I still have the groups somewhere haha!

And Ahyoung herself had been delivering to Kyunghoon what the Grapes could not

Mar 6, 2016 9:53:27 GMT 10 Ahyoung said:

To Kyunghoon:
Haha I assume you are happy about me being with Hyunmin

Mar 6, 2016 9:59:43 GMT 10 Kyunghoon said:

yes and junghyun too! hahaha.

Mar 6, 2016 10:01:25 GMT 10 Ahyoung said:

Oh haha, perfect then! I'll vote for them with you.

And amidst all the talking, the first round had ended and the players assembled in the main hall to await the results

Mar 6, 2016 10:13:59 GMT 10 Yoonsun said:

I assumed you would tag us with constant reminders like last time. Posting with six seconds to spare

Mar 6, 2016 10:14:53 GMT 10 Dongmin said:

My mind... it is dead.

Mar 6, 2016 10:15:43 GMT 10 Junghyun said:

I'm just going to do my stretches for 5 minutes while he sorts things out...

Stretching my jaw to put M&amp;M's in my mouth that is!

Mar 6, 2016 10:17:09 GMT 10 Kyungran said:

I shouldn't have gone out drinking last night

Mar 6, 2016 10:19:28 GMT 10 Yoonsun said:

I'm drinking right now~

Mar 6, 2016 10:08:44 GMT 10 Yuram said:

In Confessional:
bein' loyal to my strawbs

Also I was going to post a thing in the Oranges group PM saying who we should all pick but wait why would I do that and lie to one of the groups when I could just NOT

Mar 6, 2016 10:32:33 GMT 10 Bandage Man said:

You have until 11:57 to get your votes in for round 2.

In Round 2, Jinho, had some worries regarding his former fruit group:

Mar 6, 2016 10:05:24 GMT 10 Jinho said:

To Ahyoung:
Did the original apples perhaps stuck together without me? I find it interesting that there is not the same level of cooperation as it happens in the oranges case

Mar 6, 2016 10:11:45 GMT 10 Ahyoung said:

Ohhhh, I'm sorry, I didn't even realise you weren't in that group chat! It was probably an honest mistake, and whoever started it just went to any Apple thread they saw. Do you want me to mention it?

Mar 6, 2016 10:17:41 GMT 10 Jinho said:

Well, I barely had time to track everything in one group chat but I guess it would feel nice to be included

Mar 6, 2016 10:19:08 GMT 10 Ahyoung said:

Apple Group Discussion:
Jinho has just asked me if the Apples are working together without him. Should we use the other group chat that he was in, for the second round?

Mar 6, 2016 10:20:05 GMT 10 Hyunmin said:

Oh lol i forgot about our adopted child

Yeah lets do that next round

Mar 6, 2016 10:21:53 GMT 10 Sunggyu said:

Oh, This explains why Jinho was so quiet. yes, by all means.

While Junghyun continued his efforts to simplify the voting process in his new group:

Mar 6, 2016 10:29:20 GMT 10 Junghyun said:

Group 4 discussion:
Hi Kyunghoon...Shall we just vote all time slots for Silver? might as well keep it simple.

You're a handsome guy aren't you lol!!

I look nerdy but likeable I think

Mar 6, 2016 10:31:06 GMT 10 Kyunghoon said:

hi junghyun, yeah why not. yeah you do!!

well i dont wanna think too much anymore and just go for an all silver voting card lol.

And the strawberries were up to their old tricks

Mar 6, 2016 10:44:18 GMT 10 Eunji said:

Dongmin claims he is voting

5:00 - XYZ
5:30 - XYZ
6:00 - XYZ
6:30 - XYZ
7:00 - XYZ
7:30 - XYZ
8:00 - TRIPLE Q
8:30 - TRIPLE Q
9:00 - TRIPLE Q

Mar 6, 2016 10:45:38 GMT 10 Sunggyu said:

Dongmin is killing me! He hates K Pop.

Mar 6, 2016 10:49:28 GMT 10 Eunji said:

5:00 - XYZ

6:30 - Combo
7:00 - Combo
7:30 - Combo
8:00 - Triple Q
8:30 - Triple Q
9:00 - Triple Q

Is there any advantages to splitting our vote or best to be safe?

Mar 6, 2016 10:50:45 GMT 10 Yoonsun said:

Anyone have a preference between Dongmin and Jinho? I noticed Dongmin had the higher popularity score last time between the two.&amp;nbsp;

Since we're reducing Junghyun already it'll likely be one of us first for popularity after this round?

Mar 6, 2016 10:52:13 GMT 10 Yuram said:

perhaps we should keep dongmin up the top so it is not obvious we are working together so well?

Mar 6, 2016 10:55:35 GMT 10 Sunggyu said:

I have never spoken with Dongmin and Jinho has been a loyal apple since his swap. he is personable, yes? But not overtly strategic I would say.

But these workings had not gone unnoticed:

Mar 6, 2016 9:47:09 GMT 10 Dongmin said:

To Ahyoung:
The strawberries will definitely get something going given how well they worked last week. Those fruit groups will definitely play a role I think, how interesting.

Mar 6, 2016 10:47:24 GMT 10 Ahyoung said:

Yeah, I'm definitely going to be cautious around them. I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees it! You think just leave it for now? We could probably figure out what they have.

Mar 6, 2016 10:42:54 GMT 10 Dongmin said:

Looking at popularity scores, it's clear that the Strawberries are again in a dominating position. I guess we don't need to do anything about it this time... but might be something to keep in mind down the track.

Mar 6, 2016 10:49:21 GMT 10 Ahyoung said:

To Jinho:
I'm a little scared of the strawberries though. 3/4 of them got 4 points. I think they're a strong alliance. Just something to keep in mind?

Mar 6, 2016 9:51:34 GMT 10 Dongmin said:

To Kyungran:

Kyungran, I wanted to message you just to say that I've noticed from popularity scores that I believe the strawberry group (Sunggyu, Yuram, Eunji and Yoonsun) are a tight foursome. 3/4 got 4 popularity points this round. It may be something to keep in mind for the future, though I don't think we need to (or can) do anything about it this round.

Mar 6, 2016 10:53:55 GMT 10 Kyungran said:

That's a good observation. Depending on how round 2 went it may be that the approach needs to change from keeping our own shows safe to specifically making sure someone with low popularity has their shows scrambled.

Mar 6, 2016 10:58:03 GMT 10 Dongmin said:

That is a good point nuna, though I guess in this sort of situation where Hongchul seems to be destined for the DM, perhaps it would be better to target those with high popularity to avoid a potential garnet sweep? Although I guess regardless of scores someone will get 4 garnets.

In other news, Sunggyu messaged me because he knew I suggested voting XYZ... I'm guessing he got that through Eunji or Yuram in the oranges, which they fed through to the strawberries? Very interesting haha...

Mar 6, 2016 11:01:11 GMT 10 Kyungran said:

Wow, who knew the fruit groups would be so influential in this round?! Haha.

Good point about the garnet sweeping. Let's keep an eye on how things are going.

And the second round had ended as quickly as it began

Mar 6, 2016 11:07:07 GMT 10 Bandage Man said:

It was a clear race for the top positions and people were really starting to be cutthroat in earnest

Mar 6, 2016 11:41:57 GMT 10 Dongmin said:

To Kyungran:
I wonder whether there really will be an uprising against Eunji or Yuram? Have you heard any whispers? What are the Apples talking about?

Mar 6, 2016 12:16:08 GMT 10 Sunggyu said:

Apple Group Discussion:
And I am lying to some strawberries this round and have expectation of having rotten strawberry thrown in my hair soon.

Mar 6, 2016 12:19:49 GMT 10 Hyunmin said:

Strawberries go bad very quickly so you need to get out of there quick. Your mum warned you about strawberry hair for a reason

Mar 6, 2016 12:21:00 GMT 10 Sunggyu said:

They do not have the staying power of an apple, hyung it is true. Apples remain fresh week after week if properly cared for.

Mar 6, 2016 10:37:34 GMT 10 Dongmin said:

Orange Group Discussion:
Is there any stations people WANT to get scrambled? (ie Kyunghoon, did you have people you wanted us to vote to scramble after last round?)

But some were simply astounded to see the results:

Mar 6, 2016 11:04:14 GMT 10 Yoonsun said:

To Kyungran:
I am deeply offended at the moment

Mar 6, 2016 11:04:38 GMT 10 Kyungran said:

How the hell did that happen?!

I swear I didn't vote for your Silvers!

Mar 6, 2016 11:09:16 GMT 10 Yoonsun said:

I know right? Some people are going to have to cross the border to find work in television again once I figure it all out&nbsp;

Thankfully it is only the difference between immunity and not as last is locked in, surely.

And each group consolidated their votes once more, each promising to avoid each others:

does anyone have an ideal list then for us? do we want to target anyone? i will likely be targeted somewhat this round i imagine

Mar 6, 2016 11:59:47 GMT 10 Eunji said:

To Ahyoung:
I got hit twice that round! My popularity is declining It must be all the ads I've started to play in my shows.

And the last round was all but set in stone, with everyone focusing solely on organising votes and talking very little otherwise.

Im ready to whore myself out for safety

I nominate this guy

This what happens when you go into bat for a guy smh

And so the 2nd Death Match Began

[INSERTBETTINGRPS]

Both Hyunmin and Hongchul received messages from various other players.

Hyunmin:

Mar 6, 2016 16:49:01 GMT 10 Sunggyu said:

Hyunmin

I am sad to see an apple in the death match. I have told your opponent I will put out paper but I will not. I will put out a rock. Good luck my friend.

Mar 6, 2016 22:09:16 GMT 10 Eunji said:

To Hyunmin:
Hyunmin, I am sorry you got chosen for the Death Match, none of us really deserve to be there under the circumstances. Hopefully by being here for both games you have more people that will help you out over your opponent. I have not had much opportunity to speak with either Hongchul or yourself in this game yet though, so I will let you both know that I am selecting Paper. Best of luck!

Hyunmin
-------------------------------------
Hey mate!

I thought it would be a good idea for Hongchul to get a chance to play something for his life but I didn't expect he'll nominate you. I had hoped he'd go for something easy like Junghyun.

Anyway I'll be rooting for you in this. My RPS move will be scrissors, I hope you make the best of it.

Hyunmin:

Rock paper scissors or paper scissors rock.
You should start with the last if you want to win fast.

I should use these 100 words to make a serious plan with you, where we agree to never take each other to a death match...

Instead I will leave you with a joke.

Hyunmin:

"Hi Hyunmin! You haven't been anything but loyal to me in this game, and so for that I'll try to help you as much as I can. I chose Paper, and I'm only telling you and not Hongchul. Being late in the order, maybe that will be good for you. Good luck, I hope you win!

- Ahyoung"

Mar 7, 2016 13:59:03 GMT 10 Kyunghoon said:

For Hyumin:

Hey HM! For this round, you will either play or bet. As you know, I am the poorest here. If you win this round, you will be one of the richest with garnets to spare. Give me what you want me to play in case you will end up playing, and for as long as you give me a garnet after, i will do that. In the event that you don't play, I will happily give the garnet back to you if you make it. I hope you find this deal acceptable. Thanks and good luck!

Mar 7, 2016 17:08:22 GMT 10 Kyungran said:

Hi Hyunmin!

I'm sorry you were chosen for the Death Match! I really want to help you to win. I chose rock.

Since I'm round 4, my understanding is that Hongchul will get to decide to play or bet. I suspect he'll choose to play since I'm going to tell him my sign and maybe not everyone will do that. If you feel he trusts me and is playing paper (I think it's likely) you can bet all or a lot of your chips and come out well ahead of him. He'll only get 1 point.

Good luck <3

Hongchul

Mar 6, 2016 16:49:01 GMT 10 Sunggyu said:

Hongchul

I am sorry I have not yet had the chance to play with you. I can tell you I will be putting out paper and I wish you the very best of luck.

Mar 6, 2016 22:09:16 GMT 10 Eunji said:

To Hongchul:
Hongchul, I am sorry you got put into the Death Match by default, no one of us deserve to be there just because of a mismatched schedule. I have not had much opportunity to speak with either Hyunmin or yourself in this game yet, so I will let you both know that I am selecting Paper. Best of luck!

Mar 6, 2016 19:40:59 GMT 10 Jinho said:

Hongchul:
-------------------------------------
Hey mate!

As I mentioned in the backstage discussion, I think the schedule discussions were a total mess so it's fitting that you are allowed to stay in this game.

Obviously I think we can build something in the future so I'll be rooting for you. My RPS move will be scrissors, I hope you make the best of it.

Hongchul:

You should choose Uluru if you want to go through.

For Hongchul:

Hey HC. You have the option to play my round! Wishing you all the best. As you know, I am the poorest. If you win this round, you will be one of the richer ones here and will have garnets to spare. Give me what you want me to play and I will play this for as long as you give me a garnet after. Help a brother out, you know? Thanks and good luck!

Mar 7, 2016 16:30:20 GMT 10 Yuram said:

FOR HONGCHUL:

Mar 7, 2016 17:14:18 GMT 10 Kyungran said:

Hey Hongchul!

Good luck in the Death Match!

I'm in round 4 so I think you'll be the one playing against me. It's only worth 1 point, but you should play paper as I have chosen rock. I'm telling you as I have no reason to screw you over and I hope we can work together in the future. Not sure what further help I can be!

Hopefully see you on the other side

And Hongchul responded:

Junghyun

Solid rock. Standing on sacred ground.

Mar 6, 2016 19:45:55 GMT 10 Hongchul said:

Sunggyu

Thank you. You are the first to message me. Your paper will be rewarded down the track my friend.

Mar 7, 2016 12:39:37 GMT 10 Hongchul said:

Eunji

Thank you, your paper will be rewarded down the track my friend.

Mar 7, 2016 12:40:31 GMT 10 Hongchul said:

Jinho

Thanks sir, I look forward to cutting our way through this game together should I return.

And the game began. Hyunmin was the starting player and decided to play.

Mar 7, 2016 19:33:41 GMT 10 Bandage Man said:

1st Opponent

Hongchul bet 1 on Hyunmin to win, but Hyunmin played Scissors against Yoonsun's Scissors, creating a tie.

In round 2 Hongchul chose to play as well

2nd Opponent

Mar 7, 2016 19:41:35 GMT 10 Hongchul said:

I plan on winning. That is my game plan

Mar 7, 2016 19:42:39 GMT 10 Hyunmin said:

I bet 1 chip on him winning

Hongchul won, Scissors against Paper, resulting in both players on 2 chips. Hyunmin decided to play in Round 3

Mar 7, 2016 19:45:07 GMT 10 Bandage Man said:

3rd Opponent

Hongchul bet 2 chips on Hyunmin to win, which he did, giving Hongchul a 1 chip lead, 4-3. Hongchul followed this up by opting to bet again.

Mar 7, 2016 19:47:57 GMT 10 Bandage Man said:

4th Opponent

Hyunmin lost Scissors to Rock, but Hongchul bet for him to win, so the game was once again tied 3-3. Wins would now result in 2 chip gains, and Hyunmin decided to play.

Mar 7, 2016 19:53:35 GMT 10 Bandage Man said:

5th Opponent:

Hongchul bet 2 chips on winning, but Hyunmin lost again Scissors to Rock! resulting in a 3-1 lead for Hyunmin. Hongchul decided to play

Mar 7, 2016 19:56:06 GMT 10 Bandage Man said:

6th Opponent:

Hyunmin bet 1 chip to win, but Hongchul lost Paper to Scissors, lowering Hyunmin's lead to 2-1. Hyunmin decided to play

Mar 7, 2016 19:59:47 GMT 10 Bandage Man said:

7th Opponent

Hongchul bet 1 to win, but Hyunmin tied Scissors, resulting in no change. Hongchul decided to play

Mar 7, 2016 20:02:49 GMT 10 Bandage Man said:

8th Opponent:

Hyunmin bet both of his chips on Hongchul to lose, but he won Scissors to Paper, turning the tables into a 3-0 lead for Hongchul

Mar 7, 2016 20:06:28 GMT 10 Hyunmin said:

Damn shouldnt have gone for the hero shot...

Ill play

Mar 7, 2016 20:07:06 GMT 10 Bandage Man said:

9th Opponent:

Hongchul bet all 3 chips on Hyunmin to win...

Mar 7, 2016 20:10:24 GMT 10 Bandage Man said:

Hyunmin loses!

Hongchul's bet is wrong!

Hongchul loses 3 chips.

Hyunmin: 0
Hongchul: 0

.....

Mar 7, 2016 20:10:45 GMT 10 Hongchul said:

I'll play

Mar 7, 2016 20:11:02 GMT 10 Hyunmin said:

Me and Hong going to take down a casino once this is over... Can I get a line of credit?

Hyunmin , you have no chips and are unable to bet.

The results:





Hongchul loses!


.........................


Hongchul: 0
Hyunmin: 0

We have a tie.

Put too much trust in that snake Jungy

<3

Mar 7, 2016 20:14:29 GMT 10 Hongchul said:

Actually I misread his post. Sorry Jungy.
Wonder if we face off in a Rock Paper Scissors match as decider

Mar 7, 2016 20:17:24 GMT 10 Bandage Man said:

Here is how the tie breaker will work.

You will each be given 1 chip.

We will have 6 rounds against Computer opponents. Their signs will be revealed at all times. The six bots will use Scissors, Paper, Rock, Scissors, Paper, Rock in that order.

all wins will be rewarded with 1 chip

Hyunmin , you will start. Will you bet or play against SCISSORSBOT 1

Hyunmin chose to play against SCISSORSBOT 1, and lost, but Hongchul bet his chip on Hyunmin to lose, giving Hongchul a 2-1 lead.

Hongchul chose to play against PAPERBOT 1 and lost. Hyunmin's bet was on Hongchul to win, extending Hongchul's lead 2-0

Hyunmin chose to play against ROCKBOT 1, and chose to win, but Hongchul correctly predicted this betting 1 on Hyunmin's win, maintaining the lead 3-1

Hongchul chose to play against SCISSORSBOT 2 and in a cunning move chose to tie, maintaining his 3-1 lead regardless of Hyunmin's bet (which was to lose)

Mar 7, 2016 20:41:11 GMT 10 Hyunmin said:

bitch

Its over isnt it? Ill play if we are going to keep going though

Mar 7, 2016 20:41:58 GMT 10 Hongchul said:

Sorry Minny, I should've read my Jungy message properly 20 minutes ago

Mar 7, 2016 20:41:11 GMT 10 Hyunmin said:

There are theoretical ways it could end differently. We can call it if you'd like though.

Otherwise, Bet or play?

Mar 7, 2016 20:42:55 GMT 10 Hyunmin said:

Ill draw it out and play

And Hyunmin played out the last two rounds to no avail...

Mar 7, 2016 20:46:22 GMT 10 Bandage Man said:

Hyunmin loses!

Hongchul's bet is wrong!

Hongchul loses 1 chip.

Hongchul: 2

Hyunmin: 1

Hongchul, will you bet or play against ROCKBOT 2

Mar 7, 2016 20:50:25 GMT 10 Bandage Man said:

It's a tie!

And with that...

Hongchul wins his way into the third round with a total of 4 garnets.

Hyunmin, sorry but you have been eliminated.

And Hongchul moved on to the third round with 4 Garnets in hand.

He did have like.... a third of the episode entirely to himself and Hyunmin, and the amount of SPV is insane.

[Sunggyu]

The editors will be sacked at this rate. Do you know how much my appearance fee was? The production company will be livid that I'm being overlooked in the edit.

I will have to have a think about my ratings. How do you think all the Strawberry SPV came across? Obviously we know it was seething jealousy but do you think the audience saw that?

[Sunggyu]

I liked the contradiction in the edit. The oranges were obsessed with the strawberries, when they were doing the same thing. And everyone ignored the apples strength. Then you have all my commentary about being apple-strong nit strawberrt-strong. I feel a few clangs were superimposed over Dongmin Hyung's statements there for missing a big part.

But it is up to you nuna. I'm clearly a toneless UTR2 who knows nothing but managed to win the first two tokens by accident.

[Eunji]

You mustn't forget the star power of those in the group though, Sunggyu. Of course Strawberries would be the most feared.
