Also I just realized that I won't even be the scapegoat twice unless this goes for the full 12 rounds, so there's a chance that voting me in won't even be an option which would be nice.

If Jiwon and Jinho win this, that kinda sucks but at the same time I'm optimistic that they'd send Jimmy Cha and he'd go with Sangmin (or Sunggyu, but probably Sangmin) so I'd be fine.

But part of me does think Jimmy's idea of voting for Sunggyu for scapegoat now makes sense. I guess we'll just see.

So I think Sangmin helping us is a really questionable move on his part. It only makes sense if he's balancing competing against Sunggyu in the Death Match vs competing against Jiwon. I don't think he could win at this point, so maybe that is what he's thinking. If he'd rather go against Jiwon than against Jimmy or Sunggyu, his actions here make sense.

I do think that he has a substantially higher chance of actually going to the Death Match in this universe though.

If Jimmy and I win...Jiwon is probably the loser. Jimmy and I might vote Sunggyu, but I think we'd vote Jiwon because that would be what Sangmin would want. But no matter what, Sunggyu-Jiwon-Jinho were a team this round so they probably don't take each other, so Jimmy and I both winning is worst case scenario.

Maybe Sangmin is hoping that I'll dump Jimmy and take this win with Jinho which I'm resistant to do, but at the same time if the opportunity arises it might be hard to turn it down. And then if I send Jimmy he'd go with Jiwon, that's probably what he'd want.

I think Jimmy going here is actually bad for me though. I think best case scenario, Sangmin, Jinho, or Sunggyu is eliminated since if Jinho or Sangmin goes I'm the other's closest ally and I'm also Jimmy's closest ally left. If Jimmy goes, I'm the odd one out between two pairs which might be good depending on how the MM goes, but if it ends in a joint win between like Jiwon and Sangmin or something next round, they they'd both protect their partner and I'd be the compromise vote. But at that point the numbers become difficult no matter what.

Jimmy is a crazy person. Why is he so frenetic for no reason? I am so glad that this is my first time seriously working with him.

Like Sangmin is near guaranteed Death Match against Jiwon if we win and he is more calm than Jimmy. It's ridiculous.

Was Jinho lying to Jiwon about what he'd completed to avoid winning? That just seems wrong. Something doesn't add up here, maybe he never actually silenced the rat.

Anyway, I'm highly torn about what to do here. I think I'm probably going to stick to the plan and bribe a guard to trap Jiwon, but I want him to not hate me for it because I also technically could win with him. However, I feel like Jinho and maybe Sunggyu are waiting for him right now at the manhole to win with him and if I were to totally willingly release him he could run back to their welcoming arms and in that case I betrayed both Jimmy and Sangmin for literally no gain and I'm nearly guaranteed Death Match with one of them. It's probably worth it just to spend the extra garnet to further solidify a pre-existing enemy rather than making new enemies. It will suck to have Jiwon potentially continue to be in this game though because I know that he doesn't like me and would have taken me to the Death Match before today and he certainly will if I could have won with him and instead chose to block him from the win. I just need to make sure that he doesn't see it that way.

And it's not even that I care about Jimmy, but him being in the game makes me part of a pair at F5 also which is the ideal position to be in, especially because I think the Jimmy-myself pair isn't immediately obvious. Plus if Sangmin is eliminated I'd probably have Jinho and if Sunggyu/Jiwon is eliminated I'd have Sangmin and Jinho, even though I'd probably be their third wheel I feel confident that given the choice they'd send Jimmy to the Death Match over myself, who hopefully would go with Jiwon.

Jiwon is being way too lose with information in front of the enemy though. I'm not his friend. I'm asking him questions and giving him nothing back, he should stop talking to me.

loose, not lose. I hate that I can't edit that.

Sunggyu showing up is terrible. Uggh, there are so many variables that are out of your hands and if you screw even one up, you're just fucked.

I want to try to lure Jiwon away from the blackmail cards so that we can vote him as scapegoat next round. If we can't do that, we either have to vote Jinho (I have no problem with that, though Sangmin probably would) or we have to take a risk with the blackmail cards.

Maybe I should promise that I will win with Jiwon. But I'm still worried that he'll just go win with Jinho if I actually do that, that's the problem. But if I promise it (and come up with some excuse for also blocking him) then maybe he won't get a blackmail card. Or O could not block him, but then that's also still dangerous.

I see the way for us to win this match.

I have to send my guard to the Radio Room, then Jimmy and I complete our tasks, then Sunggyu, Jiwon, Jimmy, and myself all vote for Jinho to go to be the scapegoat. Because he's in the Dining Hall, he can't get to the Wardens Office in time and he therefore loses and Jimmy and I are free to win.

I just don't know if I have it in me to suggest that in front of Sunggyu and Jiwon. If they turned me down, I'd be totally toast. I'd essentially be guaranteeing one of them a match against Jinho since I highly doubt that he'd take Sangmin. I could also convince Sangmin to do it, but that's much more tricky because he is so close to Jinho.

Uggh, this just sucks.

The other option which I guess still could work would be to send the guards who are in the Radio Room instead to the Wardens Office, sealing it off and preventing shenanigans. Because Jinho ended this round not in the Manhole, which presumably Sangmin can confirm, Jiwon will get there but he and Jinho can't win together. And next round Jiwon moves last, so we will win before he's able to move.

That might be the more palatable option despite it involving spending a ridiculous amount of garnets.

Jimmy Cha is on my last nerve right now. He's so awful to work with, my god. Like dude I literally cracked the code and you still are having spasms and if I didn't, calmly explain my mistake instead of having a mental breakdown. God.
