Minting a Pioneer NFT Is Not the End of the Pioneer Question

Background: After the previous night's scoring change, some in the group were conflating 'earning points' with 'becoming a Pioneer.' The Day 32 task arrived as usual, and the official wording brought Pioneer status back into view, making the distinction worth explaining.

Today: The announcement said that minting a Pioneer NFT on the testnet was already good, but actually making it to Pioneer would be better. Someone asked whether minting an avatar meant their place was secure. The Night Watchman reminded him that the previous day's rule separated contributor points for unregistered wallets from Pioneer eligibility. The group asked him to check his registration before continuing with today's task.

Impact and next steps: An NFT showed participation, while Pioneer status still depended on the event's criteria. The person asking did not stop checking just because of an encouraging line; he decided to keep his participation records and look at a later scoreboard. The group understood that motivational copy could not replace the specific rules.
