Ex Populus's game preparations and the chain work were still proceeding internally, leaving the community with scattered clues. With no clear new announcement over the weekend, the Night Watchman, a longtime group member, had to choose his words carefully amid curiosity and speculation.
Someone started a guessing game in the group: “What is Ex Populus working on?” Few people joined in, and interest soon faded. The Night Watchman did not hint at a release date on the team's behalf. Instead, he asked whether people wanted to know about gameplay or how the chain would connect to the games. Their answers differed.
The quiet exchange exposed a useful distinction: community members were not all asking the same question. The Night Watchman planned to turn their questions into ones the team could answer publicly when it had something to share. Until then, the guesses remained guesses.
