You're certain it wasn't due to something like one of the rewards?

It started on Wednesday, before the rewards were delivered.

Do you know what the other effect was?

I'll see what more I can find out on that front. If there's some manner of third party, it's not something we can or should ignore.

One of the groups who emerged on the bridge retrieved a note detailing a meeting with someone, authored by a Leader. The names have been blotted out. Some of the Leaders believe it was written by Fox.

And the note mentioned this contest?
... Also, they think
Fox
wrote it?
[ Dorothy hesitates, then taps her chin, eyes narrowed. ]
That's very interesting...

The participants who found the note made copies. Why don't you read it and verify with your Leader?

Lord, does Rufus ever use anyone's name? ]
I'll look into it.

That's fair. Was it enough to keep you busy counting for a while?
