1) When the Main Match was announced, what was your first thought on how to go about doing it? My first thought was basically getting information, if I have perfect information (ie; i know what everyone is going to choose), I'll be in control of the game, since I also thought getting correct is more important than getting the points, so I decided to first share information with everyone.
At a certain point, I realized that, since everyone talks to everyone, just having the information solely may not be enough. Getting points may enough, there are 11 people, andmost of the time it is likely to end up in as situation with a 4-4-3 split, my thoughts weere that if I were in the 3, i could get more points and could secure me the win.
How do I make sure that happens? I use the premise that we need to split up our guessses so that there is no opportunity that someone would end up with 1 or 11 is out of the way, So by telling eeveryone youu are picking Spaghethy (pun intended), people would then pick the other two, and if more people pick the others, it more or less makes sure that not as much people pick mine, and I'd be safe winning 3 points (or possibly even 1, although given the amount of information sharing, it is unlikely.)
2) Do you have a close group who you want to work with and who are they? Well, I have two close groups, one is with Arnold, whom we are pretending to not work together but still share information with one another. then I'm working close with rexxy and joshua as my 'main' alliance. My main loyalty is with arnold of course.. At the meantime, I try to stay close and monitor Lukas, Joseph, Trevor and Kevin to make sure that they are on my side doing what I want. out of those people my priority is arnold and rexxy and joshua, but ill extend my hand to Lukas and Kevin to help them as much as possible.
3) Do you think it's useful to have people to keep working together each time? It is definitely useful for people to share information with you, and it tells you how the game is coming along. having a strong team allows you to improve on your idea and do even better for each game. I know every MM who I can go to and trust and give information so that it benefits me and hopefully them the most.
4) How does people who never post affects your guess in how to choose the band and food item? I dont know about others, but it seemed like it affected me quite a bit. random.org blocked my from getting my 5 points in the first round. Joshua and Lukas not choosing is a direct factor leading them straight into the DM as well, and of course it affected a three-way win between me rexxy and kevin because joshua didnt pick in time as well.
5) Any thoughts on how ultimately the results came out? Oh and honestly I think the 4 man bloc idea by Jay's side was pretty bad (sorry guys). By trying to avoid them, I have a huge chance of getting into the 2-3 zone, as long as they hold true to their word. thats how I managed to get 3 points and they are usuually stuck to 2 points each round.I guess I won, so Im happy, but this puts a huge a target on my back. Hope Im not in danger the next MM. Sucks the way joshua and lukas were at the bottom and I have to scramble a little to make sure that they are safe, and I cant control Joshua's loss.
6) Any thoughts on how Joshua will decide his opponent and who it will be? Of course, I'm the one helping him to decide, he wants to pick merriska, kevin wants Lukas, I dont want Lukas, and I'm okay with Merriska but I guess Jay/plat are beter pick, but of course, Joshua needs to pick whats best for him. And personally I feel that the foursome needs to be broken up, since I need arnold to be closer to me as well.
7) Do you think garnets are useful or do you just avoid them if you can? Garnets have to be useful somehow right? I hope... if not I've gathered so hard for nothing. I think that a MM that requires garnets /garnet match is coming soon. If garnets can be used for items, Iwant to spend a little so that I dont become a target with high garnet counts. Right now it is a blessing, but I personally dont want to lead in terms of garnet count, since that wouldnt be good for me. I welcome garnet in small amounts as much as possible. Can we exchange it for money pretty please
