This is mostly a matter of taste, but I was mildly disappointed that there wasn’t anywhere to go beyond the basic analysis. There were pretty much only two answers, ‘Got Tricked By Fated’ and ‘Didn’t’, with no room to improve your solution using further exploration of the dataset.
I realize this is an artefact of making the scenario accessible and easy to play—from personal experience, it is really really hard to make a scenario have a complex ruleset that enables deep analysis and several levels of success without also having a complicated dataset that drives some players off—but want to register that my personal taste tends towards erring in the ‘more complicated’ direction.
(...anyone who’s ever played any of the scenarios I wrote probably could have told you that already)
I did still enjoy playing this a lot, so thank you for writing it!
