1) Well my garnet count was pretty high at that time thanks to Joseph's garnets, so I'm pretty comfortable with it and I don't mind.

2) At first glance it kinda looks like horror race, but when we play it, it felt completely different. Also I know this is an already existing board game, but I honestly felt like this is a perfect game to be played in The Genius setting instead of normal table top with the whole deal making on what card to use and stuff. So good on you mas

3) I felt like wolf was a pretty disadvantageous card compared to the fox and lamb when it was first announced so I wasn't feeling quite good with it. But yea, the howl cards changes everything.

And I honestly wanted to pick lamb as my second pick, but I don't have any lambs at the time. I had some thoughts on fox and tortoise (specifically tortoise because of how it'll move every turn no matter what), but I just go with hare since I knew it'll never move lower than 2 spaces (aside from lamb) in normal terms.

4) For the game itself, at first I was just going to go with the flow. But for the metagame, I think there's a lot of dynamic with it. I'm actually on Kevin's side with taking down Ethy as soon as possible, but Ethy is still cool with me. So at the same time, and since Ethy is in a good position, I'm trying to suck up to him too so I could get the token from him (I could go ally with Trevor but we're not in very good terms, and it's shown by how he lied to me about his picks). So at that point I'm seeing what position in the game is more possible for me to achieve one of those goal (me winning or Ethy winning again). So yea, I guess I'm playing both sides right now

5) At that point I'm thinking I should be getting the win so I don't look suspicious in Kevin's eye, since it'll be so obvious if I were to help Ethy. But of course I'm starting to worry since I'm not getting as many wolf cards like before. But it's good that actually Ethy and Kevin are helping me gaining first place by playing their wolfs, so there's that.

6) Actually, I'm not that fully surprised.

So Kevin told me that Arnold has 2 howl cards at that point aside from his previous howl card before. I'm not that tight with Arnold, so I told Kevin and Ethy to try to convince him to play his howl cards. But I figure I only need 2 more steps that time and Kevin already played 1 wolf, so I just need Arnold to play 1 howl and ethy could play one more after my turn and wolf will win and cancel hare's movement. And seeing at how good my position is, I made a deal with Arnold saying if I win and he's not the candidate, he will get my token. If he did go to DM and survives, I'll give my wolf's winning garnets.

7) So I knew at that point Kevin or Arnold will go to DM. So my token will go to either one of them that isn't a candidate.

I mentioned why I'm okay with giving my token to Arnold. Now with Kevin, he helped me throughout the match, and there's a good chance Arnold will pick him for the DM. And also, I would actually like to give my token to Ethy too since how we've been working together from the first game, but A) He never gave me any of his token when he won previously so I'm not feeling like I'm owing him, and B) I don't mind him leaving at this point since I figure he's playing a great social game and the majority of the items in the finals will go to him.

8) I thought Arnold would have a low chance picking Ethy, so yea, I have a high expectation of that outcome.

9) Trevor. Just for the sole fact that I don't have to give up my garnets if Arnold won
