Back to collectionA Holiday Greeting, and a Lag Report Worth Following Up
Thanksgiving arrived soon after Tarochi went live on the testnet. One player complained that Tarochi lagged badly and said it needed serious work; most others were exchanging holiday greetings. The cause of the lag did not become clear that day, but a passing complaint had a chance to become useful feedback.

Thanksgiving arrived soon after Tarochi went live on the testnet. Players were trying the game and running into friction during play. The holiday chat was mostly relaxed, but the feedback raised a practical concern: players needed to be able to play before achievements could mean much to them.
One player complained that Tarochi lagged badly and said it needed serious work; most others were exchanging holiday greetings. The Night Watchman did not let the complaint disappear among the well-wishes. He privately asked the player to note what they were doing when the game stalled and whether it happened again, planning to turn the description into a question that could be investigated after the holiday.
The cause of the lag did not become clear that day, but a passing complaint had a chance to become useful feedback. Players could keep trying the game and recording achievements, while smoother play would depend on later work. The Night Watchman still needed more detail from the player before he could describe the problem clearly.
