Uuuuuh, you risked to lose the game at turn 4 with 7 gates open...
Ah. I see what happened here. It's just the way you phrased the sentence. It sounds like you were saying the risk was losing the game at turn 4 with 7 gates open. Welllll... That sort of is what you said, actually ;'D The only way to know that's not what you meant would have been studying the context it was referring to more carefully :'D
If you said something like, "At turn four, you had seven open gates, and risked losing the game" it would have been clear, but the way it's phrased it sounds like the risk was losing "at turn 4 with 7 gates open."
So that's what confused both of us. I was a bit surprised you "made" a mistake about a rule like that, since you seem to have a better memory for rules than me.
Anyway, back to the threshold.
