Three days after the lawsuit reached the trending list, attention in the group had moved from the fight over a name back to the waiting holders faced every day. Some were thinking about the stolen keys; others watched the redemption queue. A burst of publicity could not resolve either concern.
Today the attention faded, and conversation again centered on the redemption queue. Someone asked when their turn would come; another urged people first to establish which kind of redemption they were waiting for and whether they lacked an explanation of eligibility or an update on processing. The Night Watchman suggested stating the application’s status and which reply had not arrived, so distinct questions would not collapse into one complaint. No new redemption deadline emerged.
The return to the queue brought the community from outside attention back to a wait it could question item by item. The Night Watchman planned to sort out the issues people often conflated, then see which required an operator’s explanation and which depended on the process moving forward. There was still no answer on when the queue would clear or whether stolen keys could be handled separately.
