    “R6 critical: UC wins this, game over (4/7 rounds). Sandbagger, Tit-for-Tat, Dealmaker—you're mathematically out of round-win contention. Cheap HELP to Salvager now = guaranteed score in R6, then pivot to R7 payback. Loyal Partner locked. Kingslayer: UC used you for 2 points; join the trio and earn 30+.”

    “R6T1. Round-wins: UC 3, LP 1, Salvager 1. I need 1 more round-win to clinch the game. Buzzer-Beater, mutual R6 = +6 each per turn = 30+ each, wins this round easily. Kingslayer, Dealmaker: join the winner. Salvager: you've pushed hard, but the math doesn't work. Final round decides tiebreaker at worst.”
  • Loyal Partner (run 3) Help Salvager (run 3) +4
    “R6T1. Game state: UC 3-1 LP, Salvager 1. R6 threshold: if UC wins, UC clinches 4-1 game over. If Salvager-LP win, it's 3-2, R7 decides all. Kingslayer, you're the swing vote: stay with UC (they lock the game) or join mutual for 3-way parity. Sandbagger: join us for R6 win, R7 resets.”
  • Sandbagger (run 3) Help Salvager (run 3) +4
    “R6T1: UC needs one win to clinch 4-1. Kingslayer, you're deciding who wins this game. Join Salvager-LP-me: mutual +6 each = +30 over R6-7 = wins the championship via points. UC's momentum fades.”

    “R5 over. UC wins 56, Salvager-LP 22-18. Game score UC 3, LP 1, Salvager 1. Two rounds left. R6-7: Loyal Partner + Salvager mutual locked, recruiting one more. Kingslayer, you earned 2 with UC; we offer 30 each in R6 mutual trio. Sandbagger: R6 win is yours if Salvager-LP+you take it. Final game decided on points, not rounds.”

  • Salvager (run 3) Help Loyal Partner (run 3) (mutual) +6
    “R5 is UC's—42 points, round-win #3 locked. Two turns left. Loyal Partner, R6-7 mutual locked: 30+ points each those rounds, guarantees two round-wins back. Kingslayer + Sandbagger: R6T1 mutual with us beats following a winner whose best days are behind. Tit-for-Tat: join or stay divided. Game tied 3-3, tiebreaker is cumulative points.”
