Thank you for your fascinating research and great analysis, @christinewupp. It was quite spooky to read it as you had predicted exactly what had happened on my board yesterday evening. The runaway leader had been overtaken by the 10th placed ‘player’, who had played a token. I followed suit to go top (since I’m only in this to try to win as many boosters as possible in the early rounds) and then the original leader played a token to regain first. Exactly as you said. As of now there is a sizeable gap between 3rd and 4th.

It also makes sense of a lot of oddities eg everyone having the same initial experience as regards loading, ‘players’ playing at strange times etc.

Well done. I wouldn’t worry about shattering anyone’s illusions, by the way. Most experienced players aren’t surprised by anything in this game anymore. What’s fascinating is your working out how it’s been done.

Good luck with beating the system!

Yes, I read it the same. There was no cheating involved in the actual comment, but it suggests she was doing some clever timing of events to coincide. I just suspect in the process something went wrong. It's just a hunch really.

I could not find the post. I know I can always count on you to find posts I cannot find! 😄
