Why this one divides people
Timing is the invisible half of a message. The long silence draws most of the complaints, because by the time an answer arrives the plan has been made, changed and abandoned without them. Running it close is the person who reads everything, says nothing for days, then delivers a full essay at once, which somehow feels worse than saying nothing at all. Do not overlook the instant replier, who is genuinely lovely and also makes everyone else feel slow and slightly rude. Speed sets the pace of a chat, and every group has one person setting it accidentally.

No answers recorded yet. Below 50 the numbers would move too much to mean anything. Play today’s ten and this page fills in.
In the game itself you always see a split, because a seeded baseline stands in until recorded answers outweigh it. That estimate is ours, so it is never published here as crowd data.
