Less than a month remained in the Odyssey's second phase. People asked about the cutoff in the chat every day, yet the only answer available was a rank, not a score. The discussion shifted from whether to participate to how to spend time while the cutoff was unknown.

Less than a month remained in the Odyssey's second phase. Community members were watching the top 15% that would qualify for Pioneer status. The Night Watchman was reviewing his own task record, but no one knew what score that cutoff represented.
People asked about the cutoff in the chat every day, yet the only answer available was a rank, not a score. Some wanted to keep doing every task; others worried about spending time and still missing out. The Night Watchman decided to check what he had already completed, then choose tasks he could realistically finish, without urging others on with a guessed score.
The discussion shifted from whether to participate to how to spend time while the cutoff was unknown. His list could prevent missed tasks, but it could not establish anyone's eligibility. The community still needed a definite score to judge how far its efforts were from the top 15%.
