I think that communication was a big problem. I visited L19 more than senseis, and just checked senseis periodically.

I don't think my mind was usually changed a lot by the arguments given by other people. I felt like I'd propose a move, and someone might like another move better, and I'd feel like, "Oh you like that move better? Okay, whatever.".

Also, this game did not really have accountability. In 1-on-1 Malkovich games, I feel more inclined to try harder to come up with a good move, because if I play stupidly, I am humiliated. With a group of players like this, I can feel like, "Ah well, it's not all my fault. They voted for moves, too.".

I think that these factors were the worst for me.
