Background: The weekend arrived after the previous day's sharp fall, leaving the community feeling back where it had been before the rebound. The operations team had wanted more feedback on the season, but the usually busy chat was barely getting a reply.
Today: The community was quiet; only the battle channel kept sounding. The Night Watchman watched a few matches there and found that the remaining players were still debating deck choices and how to adjust after a loss. Instead of pressing them to discuss the market, he asked those willing to review their games to bring their points of disagreement together for the operations team to read.

No one knew when people outside the battle channel would return.
