+# Don't pick really lowbees that might not stay subbed. They have to be paid up to be eligible
 # Don't pick ones who get divorced or who are married to someone that might drop out of the game.
 # If you have been in previous Tellings and know the names of good players that last thru the End of Tale and who do a lot of leveling/tests then you have an edge. If you don't well you have to SWAG it.
 # A long term sub and an alt/mule can be good selections. Especially since you only have to worry about the one person dropping the game, not two and if they are big achievers then that's an extra bonus.
-# Pick only one "good" player per week and go for the long run.  If that player doesnt quit and gets a lot of levels  the chain will not break and you just rack up the points.  If you waste it by pairing that "good" player with others that will cause the chain to break in a few weeks, you lose all future points from the good player.  This is a "long haul" strategy.

 There is really nothing skillful about this test.  It's primarily a SWAG prediction about which 2 people in Egypt will get a level-up or test pass each week.
-* Each week you can pick upto 3 couples. You do not have to pick more than one. <s>You cannot pick yourself or your game spouse.</s> [I have, and we have gotten points off ourselves. - Sedjet]
+* Each week you can pick upto 3 couples. You do not have to pick more than one.
 * Each week you can see if any of the couples you picked "made it".
 * If they did - you get a point and the "chain" continues.

 ex: Week 1 you pick A B C / Week 2 D E F / Week 3 G H I
 If in Week 4 any of your week 1 selections (A B C) fail to gain a level up or test pass, then (A B C) become dead to you and you cannot select them in subsequent weeks.  So, if couple B are the dead weights then A and C get sunk with them.
