Waiting to see the Acq flip at the end of this cycle is a valid strategy, but puts us on the backfoot as it leads to the inevitable cat-and-mouse where we still can't really find who the Acq is now, because we're constantly spending time looking at what the Acq was doing before. I'd much rather be pro-active about such a thing, but I also hate linguistic analysis so I'm gonna hate myself (nothing unusual then)

Oh, and little gimmicks in your font are fun to do, but definitely not the way to avoid being Acquisitioned. Behaviours > Gimmicks.
I will admit right now I'm taking notes on both behaviors and gimmicks. This is the one time I get to do a linguistic analysis in a game when it might actually matter.

For instance, your British English is showing.
