Adama, Abbas, Partisan, Tim Armstrong, Malone, Yosodog and Fraggle are all exceptionally smart OOC.
Prefontaine was good at playing the game but I don't think it was only due to his wit. He had help from Malone on just about everything for the first half and had a lot of friends other than that. Not to discredit the things he did, but the others I listed just have stronger minds imo.
