Everyone got their hand, and notified how many guesses they have left.
you have 24 hours to give a guess for as many cards’ value you want.
(you gain 1 point for each card’s value you guessed, while others didn’t.)
Okay. I got all numbers except S5.
…actually, I can check now whether I got S5 or not.

Okay, I got all the numbers, so “welcome back to BotSCP”, where I have everyone’s claims and force everyone to cooperate by revealing their information.
Marshal is down for cooperation, though she prefers to solve solo if she could.
Ash has been cooperative with me so far, so I assume he is willing to cooperate.
Squirrel did say he didn’t want me to give Ash info on [51], but I’m not planning to “show numbers” with no proof. I’m planning on revealing all my steps; all my suffering, in particular when I despaired over [77] being DNS. So uh. Consider this payback for that incident. (Oh, also: He’s down for the cooperation route as well.)

Me getting a lower result than Ash means he has a Full House of higher rank than mine, because his hand’s value is lower than mine. It could have been Full House 3-X, but I was dead-set on assuming it was Full House 2-1 due to how low the hand’s value is.
During the preparation of Round 5, I traded my [157] and [54] for Squirrel’s [143] and [59].
I also learned during this time that [191] was thankfully a valid hand.

At this point I was doomposting because I had a lot of even hands, and proposed another skip. When I saw that it wasn’t looking favorable, I dismissed the idea and opted to gather information instead with what little bargaining chips I have. I knew 191 was valid, so I figured I should learn that to gain one more leverage.
I traded my [54] for Ash’s [63]. He also told me his Round 1 Joker was 128.
I traded my [157] for Marshal’s [131].

I traded my [191] for Marshal’s Round 4 Joker, which turned out to be [59]. NGL, it was a bad trade, but I said I would took the deal, so I still gave her [191]. FWIW I can at least confirm that Squirrel’s information was legitimate, so it wasn’t as if it was a total loss.
Also, since Marshal’s Four of a Kind won against my 4oaK 9, I knew it was 4oaK 10. I just didn’t know what the 5th card was.

I traded my [191] for Ash’s [209] and Squirrel’s [164].

209 + 193 - 191 = 211
2×D10 + 2×H10 + 2×S10 + All 9s - All 9s - D10 = 211
2×H10 + 2×S10 + D10 = 211
Regardless of what H10 and S10 are, 2× [anything] will result in even number.
You can’t make an odd number with even numbers only.
Ergo, D10 is an odd number.
Ergo, C1 is an even number.
D10 is either 47 or 49.
C1 is either 2 or 4.
In an earlier deduction, I said [D10 = C6 + 34].
Ergo, C6 is either 13 or 15.
By this point, I saw [2] and [13], and my first thought was: Prime numbers.
I guessed C10 as [29], and I was correct. Clubs consists of prime numbers.

_Y = 163 - 158 = 5
This is when I “hypothesized” the 5th card of [163] was C3. (It just happened to be correct since apparently C3 was the highest-ranked card with value 5.) The moment I learned this, I turned [163] into a bargaining chip.

Time to do some math. (Seeing Diamonds' nature.)
I don’t think I can explain my reasoning for the next step without revealing a little secret, so it is time to let the cat out of the bag. You see, because of the amount of DNS I got (and about to get) at the time, I was given a second answer my hand, [193]. Said hand could not only be formed with (D10, H10, S10, C9, S9), but also with (D10, H10, C10, H9, S9).

S10 = H9 + 6 // 193-1 & 193-2
> 191 Four of a Kind (D9, H9, C9, S9, D10)

H10 + C10 = D9 + C9 + 2
H10 + 4 = D9
> 157 Four of a Kind (D9, H9, C9, S9, C6)
D9 + H9 + 23 + 41 + 13 = 157
D9 + H9 = 80
> 193 Full House (D10, H10, C10, H9, S9)
47 + H10 + 29 + H9 + 41 = 193
H9 + H10 = 76
I showed in a previous deduction that S9 = 41.
Min(S10) = 42
Min(H9) = 36
D10 = 47
Max(D9) = 46
Max(H10) = 42
Max(H9) = 41
|H9| = [36…41]
| H9 | H10 |
|---|---|
| 36 | 40 |
| 37 | 39 |
There are only two possibilities for H9 and H10, because if it goes further, then it would break the concept of “when it comes to cards in the same suit, cards of lower rank are strictly lower than cards of higher rank”.
If H9 = 37, then [D9 = 43], [S10 = 43], and [H10 = 39].
If H9 = 36, then [D9 = 44], [S10 = 42], and [H10 = 40].
I have a bias against even numbers in this game, and 43 is a prime number like D10’s [47], so I spent a guess on D9 being [43], and I was correct. I saw the pattern, and hypothesized that the Diamonds also consisted of prime numbers. I immediately spent another guess on D1 being [13], and I was correct, proving my hypothesis.

I chose 182 in hopes of gaining any information, but alas.
I figured out later on that “any even hand over [176] are invalid”.
I traded [163] for Ash’s [168]. I immediately regretted trading since I “could have already known” its components, but I was too lazy to perform a bottom-up check for each and every hand’s component. It was a bad trade, but I didn’t lose too much from it.
I traded my [54] for Ash’s [94] and Squirrel’s [164] second-hand through Marshal. Confirming Squirrel’s [164] was nice, but learning the components of [94] was far more interesting.

I used [184] to delay the use of my wildcard as much as possible, and to ensure that others wouldn’t get an extra guess. (I have to use [184] at one point anyway, so I might as well use it as soon as possible.)
I traded Ash’s [209] for Squirrel’s [51] after promising him to not leak [51] to Ash. (Well, that’s no longer happening though, now that I’m revealing everything.)

9 + 5 + 7 + H2 + 3 = 31
H2 = 7
Around this time, I realized that Diamonds is not in Ash’s [19] Full House.
If D2 is in it, then four other cards would have to add up to [2].
If D1 is in it, then three _2s and one _1 would have to add up to [6].
Even if you use H1 and C2, then you’d still have to use two _2s to add up to [2].
Since that’s impossible, I learned that Ash’s [19] only contains Hearts, Clubs, and Spades.
|S1| = [3,4,5]
|S2| = [4,5,6]
At this point I see “3”, “5”, and S3 being a 7. I see a sequence of prime numbers.
Without spending any guesses, I just assumed [S1 = 3] and [S2 = 5]. Using this biased information, I brute-forced Ash’s [19] and Marshal’s [21]. By this point, I have enough information to brute-force Marshal’s 42 and Squirrel’s 148. (Well… I was wrong on Squirrel, because my hand was not the best hand, but eventually I got it though.)

Round 10
Let’s switch up the formula a bit. I will show Round 10’s results later to get you to understand my thought process during this round.
Around the start of Round 10, after I learned H1’s value, I was cross-checking invalid hands, and I noticed that [77] should have been a valid hand. In my despair, fearing that all my results are wrong, I asked everyone to confirm whether the information they traded to me were correct or not. I spent an all-nighter trying to cross-check everything.
Fortunately, Marshal mentioned that Squirrel could have missed Round 7’s deadline, resulting in an automatic DNS with a random number attached to it.
…I was very upset at the situation, but anyhow, let’s continue the story. During my conversation with Ash, I confirmed my guess on his [19] was correct, and I also found out what [128] was. Ash was also kind enough to trade his [155] for my [193].
(I already figured out the Straight Flush's suit, but I need a confirmation that it was 6-10 and not something like 5-9 somehow.)
155 Straight Flush comes neither from Diamonds nor from Clubs.
Clubs’ Straight Flush are [28, 39, 53, 67, 83, 101].
Diamonds’ Straight Flush are [101, 119, 139, 161, 181, 199].
S8+S9+S10 = 113
For Spade to be the Straight Flush, the sum of S6 + S7 must be 42.
Max(S6) = 27
Max(S7) = 28
If we follow the trend of prime numbers, then S6 (19) + S7 (23) = 42. It was too good to be true, so I spent my fourth guess on S6 being [19], and it was wrong. S6 is higher than [19], which means that [155] was Hearts’ Straight Flush.
Time to do some math. (Guessing Hearts' nature.)
Marshal and I figured out that her code was a bit wrong, which had given her errors and paranoia about Ash and I conspiring against her by intentionally DNS’ing [182] and [184]. (I forgot that was even an option, since it’s so stupid to intentionally burn a source of information for the sake of poisoning someone else’s well.)
She offered her [103] and two special guesses in exchange for [C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, D1, D2, D3, D4, D5], and I accepted the deal. (Primarily for the extra guesses.)

The deadline for Round 10 was approaching, and I have yet to submit my wildcard. I used bias against even numbers for this game, and removed those from the options. I asked Marshal to guess H6 as [19]. H6 is higher than [19].
After being pep talked by Luna, I saw a pattern in Diamonds and Hearts, albeit not complete. “H2-8 is D2-8 minus 10”. I guessed H6 as [21] using my fifth guess, and it was correct.
Funny story: After guessing H6 correctly, Squirrel then informed me that he had learned [77]'s composition… because he knew I would be the first to figure out [77] is not DNS. (Yeah, uh. I dunno either. Maybe he struck a bet with Luna or something.)
Squirrel informed me he would be using his wildcard to get [30], and told me that I can guess for him. There was less than 90 minutes left, and I chose a number, but then Squirrel went AFK, and now we are stuck with his [30], of which the composition I already predicted. 
As for me, I was still hunting for S5 and S7. Even with the power of brute-forcing, there were too many possibilities, so I used my biased once more and removed all even numbers.
|S5|: [13,15,17,21]
|S7|: [25]
I tried to leave S7 over to Squirrel by instructing him to guess [108] in hopes of getting Four of a Kind (D7, H7, C7, S7, C2), but that uh… went nowhere. Still, I had to research something, so I focused on Straight Flushes. If S5 was 13, then a Spade 1-5 Straight Flush could be overridden by Club 2-6 Straight Flush, so I had to seek for Spade 2-6 Straight Flush instead.
S5 is not 13, because then S2-6 would be 59, and that was taken as 4oaK.
S5 is not 17, because then S2-6 would be 63, and that was taken as 4oaK.
S5 is either 15 or 21, and I chose the former. I set my wildcard as [61].

M> 199 Straight Flush (D6, D7, D8, D9, D10)
Z> 61 Four of a Kind (D4, H4, C4, S4, S3)
S> ??? Four of a Kind
A> 138 Three of a Kind
The moment I got two special guesses, I used one to guess S7 as [25]. It was correct.
Since S5 was not 15, I guessed S5 as [21] and it was correct.
–oh, also: Ash told me [138] had another composition, which was a better 3oaK than the one I made. It also had S7 and confirms that it is indeed [25].

And thus, I completed the board, and decide to share this information, because -genuinely- without all of you -players and host-, I couldn’t have made it.
…I spent 6 hours and 30 minutes writing this post.
I think I’m done.

oh mb
I went to sleep after I messaged you
I meant you could have my special guesses, which I figured we can use at any time

I doubt I win this w/o zone. Mostly because I never figured out any sort of pattern, and even with my best-guess code (which I am VERY proud of) I don’t think I coulda narrowed it down completely using special guesses. So thanks zone

i cant really tell what the patterns are supposed to be for spades and hearts, still. Post-zone but pre-special-guesses, I thought it would be this:

also, zone, I did hedge a little in the case that you couldn’t figure it out. Because you asked me to guess
Summary
h6 as 19
… but I knew h6 had to be 19, 21, or 23. So h6 as 21 was a better guess. But I knew by that point I could narrow it down even with that suboptimal guess, so I never said anything to you about guessing 21 instead. I still did actually submit 19 as the guess, because I wanted to honor the terms of the agreement, even though I could have theoretically submitted 21 and told you the same info that I would get from 19

Hang on; I think this contradicts my 209?
Give me a second to double-check.
Wait, no, I’m stupid.
It would’ve been much funnier if you didn’t post again until the game ended

I still have all five of my special guesses if you needed those.
No. Honor must be kept.
Everyone gave me fun.
Therefore, I shall return the favor.

im quite interested to figure out how you did this. Well, how you did this and managed to have it run in presumably under like a week
good job.
(i didn’t find the 215 two pair on paper, and the 103 four of a kind I overlooked, somehow I assumed that number was used for a higher 4oak already, since every number around it was as well. This resulted me missvalue that hand as a full house later. Zone would had one less guess. Probably doesn’t matter in the end)
