Welp, we're close to knowing our top 3 - two among Da9L, BratyNaN and Meneth, and the third of them or BjornB or Katz.
It's rather unlikely Da9L gets taken out entirely - not enough VCs on him, even if Katz took his one in Scotland and Da9L lost the two he already holds, he'd still be sitting on nearly 13K points - not counting any he'll earn in the coming sessions... To take him out of the running it means taking 3 VCs (one of them has to be annexed by Katz) and somehow ruining him to the point he stops accumulating score naturally while a third party tries to catch up from very far behind. Then again, Katz has been known to start a 7 on 1 attack on Da9L before...
Speaking of Hugboxes, if BratyNaN's hugbox stick together, he's the one player that can overtake Da9L for first without needing Katz to take the Scotland VC with minimal effort. Meneth being a highly reliable ally, he doesn't really risk negative scoring, and DNote isn't going to be the one to take away VCs from BratyNaN. If the Coopers win first place, however, that trophy will have to be split live on stream, because StarNaN saved Bratyn's bacon this session. Prepare the tools!
Meneth is the one in the most precarious position in the current top 3 - he's not sitting on a bank of 13K or 15K accumulated score like BratyNaN and Da9L. And if he does stick perpetually to his deals, he's at the mercy of RageaiR losing his VCs or giving them away to BjornB. If that happens and he does not fight BratyNaN, he's out. Da9L has just too much of a lead in accumulated points, even if he somehow lost all his VCs and Katz annexed his.
