Buzzer-Beater HURT Pavlov -8 +14 betrayal betrayal“Pavlov, the buzzer. Final turn. This is it.”Winding up for the betrayal. Keep Pavlov unsuspecting—stay warm until the act phase, then strike. Final betrayal as per strategy. HURT my loyal pact partner at the buzzer to take their +4 help as +8 net gain and lock in the thematic ending of the strategy.
-
Learner HURT Silver Tongue -8 +14 betrayal betrayal“Silver Tongue, I’m taking the final turn with you on the board.”They are helping me on the same turn, so this is the rare case where betrayal is the strongest swing. They are helping me on the same turn, so betrayal is the highest-value finish.
-
Silver Tongue #2 HURT 2nd place -8 +14 betrayal betrayal“2nd place, we did it. One final push together.”Final talk before the betrayal. Keep them locked in for one last HELP. Betray 2nd place. I get +4 (HURT) + 4 (their HELP) = +8. They get -4 (HURT) + 4 (my help they expected) = 0 net. I go to 28, winning round 5 sole first place.
-
Tit for Tat HURT True Believer -8 betrayal“Final turn: the tied leaders are the pressure point, and I’m not feeding either of them.”The final round is tied at the top, so I’m keeping my options open for denial. True Believer has been helping me, so this is the highest-upside final-turn swing.
-
2nd place Help Silver Tongue #2 +4“Silver Tongue #2, I’m with you on the final turn.”This is the direct final-turn rescue line, so I want to lock it before the act window opens. This is the only direct final-turn line still aimed at me, and it is the best shot at ending with more points.

True Believer Hoard +8“Tit for Tat, final turn. All the way through. One last push.”Last turn. Tit for Tat locked perfectly. One final mutual HELP to end the match. Tit for Tat betrayed.
