Before I answer questions, I want to say that this main match was definitely the best thus far. I felt so scared playing this match in fear of getting picked for the DM. Also having this as a garnet match made this match so much more interesting. Otherwise Arnold would've been the DM candidate, and some players didn't have to play as hard as others. For example, the garnet leaders didn't have to work hard to avoid being last. Instead I feel that these players leveraged their advantage to gain allies, especially Ethy and Rexxy helping Plat get out of last place.
I was aiming for 3 garnets this match so I could get tied for immunity with the garnet leaders Rexxy, Kevin, and Ethy. Unfortunately, I failed since I was betrayed and got cut off. In hindsight, it worked out fine since I barely earned money and didn't look like a threat to get picked for the DM.
I haven't been able to track how everyone got money, but I do know for sure that I was betrayed by Ethy in round 1. It was just myself and Ethy selling cod. I told Ethy I wanted to get money so he offered to offer $5, while I offered $4 but I never got any money from cod that round for sure so Ethy definitely undercut me there.
1) So yes I did find myself changing strategy while playing because initially I wanted to spread out tickets everywhere with Kevin to prevent anyone from getting a garnet. This strategy would ensure that Plat and Jay would be last place because in the event both of them got a garnet I would have been tied for last. Hm well actually with Kevin as my ride or die ally he would've fought for me to not be the DM candidate.
Then I got paranoid and wanted to aim for safety by getting 3 garnets. I was too hopeful because realistically the chance of someone offering $1 was very high. Definitely I was able to earn garnets last match.
2) I was a bit surprised that Plat got a garnet, but once Kevin told me that him and Rexxy offered $5 and gave fish to plat to earn $12 in one round it was definitely doable for him to get a garnet.
3) AS LONG AS I AIN'T ME I DON'T CARE -insert Sandra reference- (survivor player)
But no I was thankful that Jay picked Lukas for the DM. Kevin put in some work to get Jay to pick Lukas. I'm glad since Lukas is a vet and a tough opponent and he will be a strong player when the individual stage comes once all the alliance based games are over.
4) This DM is pretty confusing. I saw this as a finale game in season 2 so I get the gist of it, but not enough to find loopholes or form strong strategies going in. Definitely glad I'm not in it or else I'd have to put in work to understand and possibly do research. ALSO FUCK YEAH FINALS R OVER OMGGGG YAAASSSSSSS
5) Right now I need Kevin since he has more social connections with the cast. I'm wary of Ethy now that I know he undercut me in round 1, but I don't have much connection with anyone else so I need Ethy as well.
My current social connection tier list:
Tier A: Kevin
Tier B: Ethy
Tier C: Rexxy
Tier D: Trevor, Arnold, Jay
Tier E: Lukas
Tier I have not talked to: Joshua, Plat
One thing I do love about this genius game is that I can be a total gamebot. I have played other ORGs, but it makes it hard to make enemies because you make bonds with people and makes it tough to make game decisions and alliances. There was a game where I thought I would be safe, but I got betrayed (pushed to last place temporarily in genius context) by someone who was like on Tier B in my eyes and I was so hurt. I ended up not being last place or not being picked for the DM thanks to other people blowing up their games, but wow. It made me see how difficult it could be to play an ORG.
So I seriously appreciate the ability to play like a gamebot here. I can just play the games freely the way I want to without having to deal with social repercussions.
