Obs.
Your sequence is a transposition of mine. Black will o19 instead of 2.

Edit. In fact, I believe your sequence doesn't work,

White will fill a liberty on the black group here and sacrifice the top group.

Yeah, transposition is kinda obvious - whoops!

I'm not sure if capturing the White top left group can be classified as a failure. To begin with, the whole top right apart from the corner was sort of "running fight dame" ish, so losing a 25 point group and having the top right as dame is kind of painful for White, no?

If white loses that top left group and captures black's stones, then the right side is huge and he's ahead. Black doesn't have a ton of territory.

This is an interesting opportunity to practice evaluation: I interpret our last move to have been made with one of the following two continuations in mind, but which one?

I can't read either continuation further than that. In the first option white's Q13 group is left weak, which benefits our P12 group, but there is a kyu-resistant fog of war in the top. In the second our top group seems to gain an iota of security but the Q13 group gains precious liberties relative to the P12 group, rendering the latter very 'eavy, very 'eak.

I'll just go with the crazier option.

Approved.
...Although in Gresil's diagram, :w2: - :b5: are both bad exchanges for white and won't be played. (see the diagram in my last post for my expected continuation)

I'm not sure which of the two possible moves is better. I considered changing this just in case Violence wants the other one (since he can change my change cheaper than he can change Gresil's original move), but mathematically me doing nothing is slightly better. On average me doing nothing loses 2 points, but me changing it loses 2.5 points.
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.

Okay, the last move chosen by my team emphasizes saving these stones, which I had intended to sacrifice. If we don't connect them now, the stones are sacrificed without compensation. So, we connect here, and try to live above, I think? Sorry, I'm feeling very lost and out of my depth in this game.
Someday I want to be strong enough to earn KGS[-].
