Episode 2 - Radio Scramble

[Bandage Man]

All decisions to be made during Radio Scramble will be done so in here.

As with all Main Matches:
Any garnets will be removed immediately after use.
To exchange garnets, simply declare your intention to do so in the current game thread.
Your public total will not be revealed until after the Main Match is completed, meaning that you can keep garnet purchases and exchanges a secret, provided their effects are not made public.


Items are only valid if you have the garnets to purchase them.

Your Current Garnet Total:

Congratulations on surviving the 2nd round!

Honest feedback: What did you think of Radio Scramble as a concept?

Did you enjoy it? Why/Why Not

What would you change?

And lastly:

Please select one of the following signs for the upcoming Death Match:



And prepare your post to each of Hongchul and Hyunmin ASAP.

[Jinho]

In those private posts can I also tell them what I will be playing in RPS or is that against the rules?

[Bandage Man]

It's designed so that you absolutely CAN tell them what your sign is. Or lie to them about it. Nothing is off-topic.

[Jinho]

Very well, my RPS move will be this:



Will soon come with the "private message" posts. As soon as I finish composing them.

[Jinho]

PM for 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.
-------------------------------------

And then PM for 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.
-------------------------------------

Let's see what happens

I think it was an interesting change. Main match 1 was about establishing trust, as soon as one player broke the trust in one subgroup, everything went to ruins.

This one was more about using your connections in making sure you get the least number of votes, more of the familiar kind of ORG votes but without having to be exclusive to one alliance only. And with so many factors to consider and not knowing for sure how many votes each station got, it was easy to backstab your allies and pretend like nothing happened, something I decided to do in the last two rounds in order to push myself further. I hope nobody else noticed that I kinda climbed the rankings from the bottom to the top.

One thing I noticed is that writing the rules + description for challenges isn't your strong point. Not that I'd do any better but my honest feedback is that every time I had to read more than once the rules to understand what is gonna happen and with the Radio challenge I was sure of how it will go only when I got the round 1 schedule.

I am also a bit frustrated with the fact that I can't exchange PMs after the deathmatches are over. During the deathmatches I can barely keep up and afterwards I'd like to establish a bit of trust with some people analyze what went wrong and what was good about it and get some plan together for the next match. But I suppose that us not being able to do that is part of keeping the format as close as possible to the original show.

Except for the handful of games that I've made up myself, the rules/descriptions are direct quotes word for word from the show. In the show they sometimes have practice rounds to get the concept across, and it's something I considered doing but that would eat up even more time. It's a fine line to walk but I get your point.

[Jinho]

I see. Well to be fair, you kinda get it as soon as you start the game, but when you first read the rules it's really intimidating.

I know this might be a hassle guys but could you plz make new PM's every round?

Don't HAVE to but it would make things way easier for me

you all.

I don't like this and I can't complain about it in public

I know why it's easier for you but for me at least, the original PM chains were very good for continuity in my relationship with the others. I've already been excluded from the Apples on round 1 from the previous game because they've mistakenly talked on the original thread from round 1 of match 1 which didn't include me. Only after I asked Ahyoung (I think that's her name, these korean names are driving me nuts) she told me it was all a mistake and they started talking again on the thread that included me.

I tend to be paranoid so somehow I feel a bit insecure about starting new threads, I fear that, if they ever intended to leave me on the outs, this will be a perfect opportunity.
