- What up kids, it’s Alex here, ready to be really terrible at The Genius! I am super not clever enough to break half of these games, and I’m not here to make friends, so I can’t wait to go out midgame in a disappointing death match!

Basically my strategy for the game is such: be quiet, be smart but not too smart, and try to make sure nobody hates me enough to pick me for the Death Match. If possible I will try and hide behind bigger threats so people target them first. Fighting!

R1 Deathmatch

Between Sam & Drew, I really wanted to send Drew into the deathmatch, because I know he’s scary. But I also wanted to keep him around, because based on the Gunfight results, people already know he’s scary, so he’s a good target for me to hide behind. So I elected to send Sam because fuck it, why not?

Both Sam & Nadine asked me for help, but Nadine was much more persuasive about the whole endeavor. I hadn’t talked to either beforehand, but Sam asked almost like he expected me to help, so in the end I only ended up telling Nadine what I threw down - which didn’t end up mattering, as Sam sucked at the thing. Hopefully Nadine will remember this!

R2

I was SO MAD I didn’t get to go full extra! It’s very tragic! I full intended to go full OTT once I was outed as a wolf and basically demand every wolf and tanner aligned player vote a townie or else I’d drag them to the death match with me, but I didn’t get to do any of that :(

R3, Main Match R2

I’m a little nervous about this main match. I don’t know a breaking strategy for this game, and despite a bunch of people having chats with me, nobody proposed a plan that includes me, so I’m a bit worried that I’m on the outside of whatever people are planning. It’s not like the real Genius, where you can see who’s in what room! Hopefully there isn’t some master plan keeping me on the outside, because as it is now, I’m just taking my best guessing and hoping it works. For round 2 I announced that I was gonna go all monochrome, hoping it would prevent others from choosing monochrome, BUT I don’t intend to tell people what color I picked, so that hopefully I can get at least 1 point. I just don’t wanna be last, y’know?

- lmao im just randomly picking it, i think i should be fine with 2 points already

i briefly discussed with couple of people about forming multiple alliances for this, but people were like, let just random it and hope for the best
