In the rule watchmaker, “saying” was changed to “paying”, and then to “paving”.
Both moves were performed by SingularByte’s Tools of the Trade actions, the first of which was a focus action.
ais gains a triumph. SingularByte gains a triumph.

We were just too lazy to really be bothered (and were somewhat demoralized by a combination of the many, many 3-moves on your end we could not possibly block and the potential of a spy to immediately thwart any plan we came up with). Congratulations!
We talked about it but without a plausible path to victory for ourselves it just felt like vandalism.
Sincere congratulations to team Paving on this monumental achievement.
Was there a spy?
I don’t think I’m actually allowed to tell you whether there was a spy or not (“If a piece of information is described as being tracked secretly or privately by the Mastermind (including secretly random selections), then that information may only be revealed by the Mastermind when the ruleset allows it.”) This might be a bug.
If someone gains Triumph from having been a Spy, that will give it away. If nobody does for a while, that may indicate that I didn’t appoint one. (Note that the choice of Spy is random, so if I did pick one, I didn’t have any influence over who I picked.)
By the way, the shortest path I found for your team was “team” → “tear” → “tiar” → “coronet” → “coroner”. I was planning to block “coronet” if the plan to score directly didn’t work (I got very unlucky on my dice roll, but that ended up not mattering because SingularByte didn’t).
I should probably link this tracker edit here, because it may be relevant to the conversation.
Aid and SingularByte did an amazing job of coordinating heists to earn their Triumphs. I give them the warmest of congratulations.
Ais and SingularByte were amazing. My phone autocorrected, and I apologize for missing it.
ais523:
I’m really confused about why the other team didn’t block us – our only good routes were the route through “saying” and the route through “praying”, and it would have been fairly easy to Guess one word (which happened) and modify the other to move it further away (which didn’t). Several players on the other team were online recently, even after I made a failed attempt to change “saying” – and if they spent even one action putting our target out of reach, there would still be enough left over to score themselves.
