Back to collectionThe Community’s Year in Two Numbers
Background: The year-end review had yet to be written, though the studio was already gathering records of its projects. Today: On Sunday, the community released its annual figures: 2,300 people and more than one million messages. Impact and next: The figures show that the group had accumulated a great deal of conversation, but they cannot by themselves show that every member was active or agreed with the others.
A creative chronicle combining project history with imagined scenes. Story events are not verification of network activity.
Background: The year-end review had yet to be written, though the studio was already gathering records of its projects. The narrator also wanted to note the group’s everyday voices and see who had kept talking, testing, and sustaining the community.
Today: On Sunday, the community released its annual figures: 2,300 people and more than one million messages. The narrator first noted the numbers and discussion topics on a slip of paper. Conversation went beyond major announcements to ordinary players’ questions about cards, events, and what came next.
Impact and next: The figures show that the group had accumulated a great deal of conversation, but they cannot by themselves show that every member was active or agreed with the others. The narrator planned to sort through those discussions when starting the year-end review the following day; which voices reflected the year’s shared concerns remained an open question.
