For example, a liberal Christian complained that her (honest!) Christian answer did very poorly, because people associated liberalism with atheism. This suggests that the best strategy isn’t necessarily to honestly list what you believe, but to list what you think a typical member of the group involved believes.
It depends how you define poorly. Her answer demostrated something useful about inaccurate stereotypes of Christianity. If the goal of the whole exercise is to convince others that Christianity is right, then her answer might be good because it teaches people about their misconceptions about Christianity.
Yes. If you’re faking it, the measure is how many people you fool. If you’re guessing, the measure is how many you get right. But if you’re writing honestly, there’s no winning or losing; just write honestly, and if people guess you wrong more fool them.

I don’t think you understand the point of the game. The goal of the game isn’t to guess the teachers password. palladias converted to Catholism after running that game. That’s a win for the catholics in the game who honestly explained catholicsm to her.
Of of the catholics wrote that he likes SMBC. That’s one of the examples that struck out to palladias. Even when it reduced the judging scores of the answer, I think that answer likely increase the chances of “turning” palladias.
Ah, so you’re saying that the goal of the honest participant is for the guessers to distinguish correctly, showing that their counterparts have a poor understanding of their beliefs?
Your argument is too general: it applies to any game. If I play chess against a Catholic, who deliberately throws the game in order to make a clever argument that succeeds in converting me to Catholicism, that counts as a win of some sort… but not a win in chess.

I think that this game is inherently about showing that your ideology is better than the one of the people on the other side. Chess is generally not played with that intent.
Yes, I think that’s a bad definition of poorly. The goal of the game isn’t only to get high ratings from the judges but to ultimately show people that your beliefs are better than the beliefs of the other side.

Wait, did that actually happen? Is there a place where I can read about how and why?

I think “poorly” in this case meant that it wasn’t rated very believable by the judges.
