In the "Played" column you well find the amount of players that was submitted as well as the value for X.

Round 4 of the Squid game was spectacular. This was a round that did not reward lowballing. Not less than 4 players went (almost) ALL-IN and assured themselves of a decent result.

Optimal strategy in the Squid Game, however, is to make top-6 losing the minimum and none was better placed than Onuzq to achieve this. All he had to do was submit X=1 to assure 5th place. But the pressure got to him and uncertainty gnawed. Would 102 be enough? Was he going to be TOP 6 or was he going to be bottom-6 and handing out defectors?

Finally he choose X=2 to reduce the amount of possible defectors and that brought him within range of Gadarene and Zurvan, who both submitted 80 and choose X=1. The dieroll brought the decision: Zurvan and Gadarene rolled well and Onuzq slipped from 5th to 7th. Instead of collecting defectors, he was handing them out.

In the bottom-5 only Eric submitted a correct value of X. He judged correctly he was going to be bottom-6 and made sure to lose close to 50 players.

filthy and bloo submitted 60 players and a really optimistic X=1 with a faint hope of making top-6. They are the milk cows of the round, producing an amount of defectors that would make East Berlin proud.

Mark and eyebooger submitted X>1, but they would have been better off to kill their entire team and submit X=6.

Three players in this round actually INCREASE their amount of players: Gad, Zurvan and Dr. Zeus. The biggest winner of the round is Zurvan, who adds 35 players to his total. He is the new leader

In round 5 of the Squid Game we play: EEN, TWEE, DRIE, PLOF!

If Paasei has any knowledge about this game, because I suspect he is Dutch, he should divulge it to the other players to keep the field level.

First, we start preparation. All of you are standing in a large playing ground with four doors.



Every player must choose a door to pass: Circle, Triangle, Star or Umbrella by posting in bold red Pass through [figure] door.

When three Game Masters have passed through a door, it closes permanently. As such, we divide the Game Masters into four groups of three. Each group must decide on a number of players to submit for this round. If I receive multiple answers from a single group, the last one will count.

Let's play!

Pass through Umbrella door

It worked great for Seong!

Pass through triangle door

Was gonna wait to see what Paasei said about the rules, but don’t want to end up with an umbrella honeycomb so:

pass through triangle door

pass through triangle door

yay I'm popular

The Triangle door closed. Bloobird, lukethefluke and Paasei were trapped in whatever lay beyond. Many things were uncertain, except for one: people were going to die.

Btw never heard of this game. I grew up playing on my playstation lol
