I would like to know what i or my partner did wrong because I had trouble finding our mistakes this game. I think we could have mixed up our units better but we weren't as awful as our opponents on that. (I think they lost because they didn't mix up good enough)

I just skimmed the whole game, but why did your partner take your wit point on turn 34?

Cervocirsh worried about his 1hp scrambler so from our POV he thought they would kill it (I didn't). I don't think, looking at the replay, he needed to take my wit space but I guess it's sometimes different once your in game. I really took my time to heal his scrambler so I think that had him worried.

Speaking about “taking wit spaces", is it a legitimate strategy to have one person hog the wit spaces? I don't think it would work but then again cervocirsh and I have never tried

It's pretty much never a good idea, especially mid game. All your doing is taking a wit from your total that never gets returned. Think of you and your partner as 1 player. You would never intentionally give up your wit space in a 1v1 game. Much easier to just save wits. The only time you should take your partner's wit is when it's necessary to complete a kill of an opponent that moves next.
