Background: The foundation had just been registered, but the game chain had not been explained publicly. Today: Over the weekend, the Night Watchman asked in the group, “If there were a game chain, would you run a node?” Impact and next steps: The question showed him that interest in playing a game could not be counted as a commitment to run a node.

Background: The foundation had just been registered, but the game chain had not been explained publicly. The Night Watchman, a longtime community member, heard people talk about cards and wonder whether they might someday help run the chain. No one yet knew what that would involve.
Today: Over the weekend, the Night Watchman asked in the group, “If there were a game chain, would you run a node?” Few answered. When one member asked how much time it would take, he realized he had no clear terms to offer. He kept the conversation to willingness and concerns rather than treating silence as opposition.
Impact and next steps: The question showed him that interest in playing a game could not be counted as a commitment to run a node. He planned to gather concerns about cost, operation and responsibility before raising the subject again once the team could explain how participation would work. How many people would commit for the long term remained unknown.
