Good to hear. I was shocked to see you got picked because you never really struck me as a genius :mmmhmm:

New plan is to lock you in the attic

Should we share answers to questions? I'm interested in what Genius players we all compared ourselves to.

Kim Kyungran

I said Jinho too, but because I am focused on winning games and I don't like betraying allies. I really identified with him in the first season. I never finished the second. :/

I actually misread that as the person in THIS game I was most like when I answered the question.

But I stand by Kyungran

I considered answering Jinho but I decided on Kyungran, with Sunggyu as a semi-comedy answer as well.

Do you have to be alive to win if your win condition doesn't say survive?

Oh man, winvirus was the rat? That was a really fortunate turn of events for me then.

I think it was extremely fitting that the first things that happened was we tried to eat each other :)

Hello players, just a reminder that any time during the game you can always send me a confessional. How did you feel during the game? Was life in the food chain all that it was cracked up to be? Would you have rather been a bug?

Well let us know! The viewers crave information!

I'm still mad at the viewers for their totally lame question for me

Nexal and Super, it's really no hard feelings though and I really hope you both do well tomorrow. It wasn't like it was an easy choice to pick.

Yeah, this totally. Really it was just that their was some loose basis for picking you and not really much for anyone else.

Rarity posted:

The lion absolutely should eat the other predators. We saw in the show what happens if he doesn't.

I feel like a big reason the lion lost was because he ate me (Hyena) too early. It was in my best interest to have as many animals eaten as quickly as possible, especially myself and the deer.

Hal Incandenza

Superrodan posted:

I don't think I ate you fast enough. I allowed you to pick off the rat, who would have basically tagged along with me and been my food when there was nobody else to eat. The best strategy for you would be to deny me prey. If you pick off a lot of the small prey it's easier for the immune ones to stick together.

Yeah, but you have to return to the field every other turn, and eating me away from the field meant that you had to hope the deer stayed alive and didn't start in the field or that some other creatures would wander into the field (which they never should).

I'm not quite clear from the summary on who did what in what order in Round 1 but it seems like (assuming you have no information about the snake) that ignoring the snake is just the best thing to do since it's such low probability that you will hit it straight up.

If anyone is bored, I would enjoy reading a summary of Round 1 in the order it happened.

I only know what happened up until I died, but winvirus the rat tried to eat me (the hyena) and failed, I immediately ate winvirus, then Rodan the lion ate me right after.
