Nah, each other.
However, I would be happy to keep a separate tally of where you WOULD be eliminated if you were playing in the main game. Could be fun.

Ummm...that makes it difficult to strategize then, as we don't know how many people are playing and as such, don't know around when the game would end? Then again the other options we'd be able to see submissions for so...*shrug*
Am intrigued to see how this one plays out, sure you can strategize on your own tribe but you simply won't have all the information in the game.

I’m not looking at more than one submission I happened upon last night, but I think putting zero on the last 1-2 bankers is the move. I don’t think there’s any way we avoid a tie for last for the entire challenge, there has to be one somewhere.

Sudoku is definitely not one of my strong suits. Tried the easy-looking one in the challenge illustration and it took way too long. Shudder to think of how I'll do when tackling three of them.
Think I need to figure out a better way to solve them.
How'd we do in the last challenge, anyway?

You can slow down a bit later on (though not too much), but at the beginning of the game and at each new swap, the more you are able to be around and message people, the better.

Also Bees is posting all of their PMs in their confessional if you want to see some examples of what strong PMs look like. They're a strong social player.

Yup, definitely took too long. Over an hour, and would be hoping that one screenshot of all three (with notes indicating which is which in the form) would be acceptable instead of three separate screenshots.

Seeing the time limit of three hours makes me feel slightly better about my time.

This challenge probably doesn't have a long shelf life, it really only is good so long as most people use it to describe the fellow people on their tribe and not go for the optimal alphabetical strategy, which both protects your thoughts on people and has a high potential for a 100% match for anyone else who does it. As it becomes more prolific it will be more easily gameable and need serious alterations to work (not to mention it gives an advantage to whichever tribe has more veteran players since newer ones are less likely to have seen it before). Sort of like how normal survivor did away with auction when people just hoarded money until the end. It is nice to see people try it the normal way for the most part and as such it does work here.

On that note... this challenge isn't even close with current scoring. Chocolate is down one more submission than Dark Olive, but this is kind of pathetic.
