From my own perspective, 7 correct is pretty worrying, but I have no idea who is in the lead.

Yay!

Honestly once I realized that I'm way behind the curve in terms of solving puzzles like this I just did my best to be honest/trustworthy with MMM and hoped it'd all work out. I was really lucky that the joint win option was presented there because the only way I could think of to win outside of that was to try and backstab MMM and I really didn't want to do that.

How active was this game behind the scenes? The thread seemed dead and the lynches all seemed random/apathetic, so it was hard to tell what was up as a spectator.

My experience was that nothing happened at all on non-deadline days, and then on deadline days there were a whole bunch of conversations and attempts to line up data.

It was pretty active for me, but I feel like there was at least some level of apathy going on.

The first lynch came as a result of me trying not to get taste lynched, because I had his word. Asiina was a convincing enough of a threat (sorry Asiina, when you said you were only talking to somber and weren't really a threat, I believed it and felt bad, but it was sort of already in motion.

The second was kicked off by bowmore's tiff, but JJ's word was one of the 3 I didn't have anyway, so I came down hard against him in private chats. He probably would have been voted out without me doing that but I did what I could.

The 3rd vote was essential to winning, opop was the only word I didn't have. We did use the apathy element on the thread for this one. In general it's better to get a vote going on in the last two hours so the person can't fight back until it's too late. Somber and Cena were open to it so I sent out the vote and went to the party I was going to force the threads hand, but it's not like there was any real opposition.

I'll have more thoughts posted later in the day.

This is kind of funny, I slowed it to two Game Days per week from the original three to allow for more time. :v:

I'm not sure what made this less contentious than Codebreaker the First. Less lying?

I figured that either Taste or MMMMMT were very close, but it felt like I couldn't do anything about that. Maybe I gave a little too much deference to grody in terms of strategy, he was my main partner, but I felt like his ideas were solid. We were just playing a slower, safer game than anyone else.
