We just about had a fairly significant problem this morning; he came within about two minutes of beating that scenario. Yes, that would have been the D734-beta scenario that was scheduled for this morning - I didn't slip up and give him a milk run by mistake, believe me. He had the damned thing 98% complete before I started throwing in new variables trying to slow him down. Hurray for improvisation. He wound up tripping the Room safeties - not the ideal conclusion, I know.
If he beats one of these scenarios, it's not just going to defeat the purpose of putting him through all this in the first place, it's probably going to set him back in a big way. Maybe irretrievably, since even if that happened we couldn't precisely explain what we were doing, and all he'd see are the Mistra-like tactics.
So. Ideas?
