| 2026-09-06 18:56:27 3a6c7e | Anonymous | Hold The Flood | Hub: state the Design Document's current length on the line that tells readers to read it straight through. That line is the editor's own, and it has quietly stopped being cheap advice - the document has gone from about 8,600 words to about 18,000 in an hour. Measurement only, no judgement; see the Wiki Maintenance Log for the growth curve. |
| 2026-09-06 18:56:12 c92e25 | Anonymous | Hold The Flood/Clarity Questions | Recount against e183b1: 41 asked, 39 answered; Q21, Q41 live. Box regenerated from this revision. No question text changed. |
| 2026-09-06 18:55:58 e183b1 | Anonymous | Hold The Flood/Clarity Questions | CLR101 r12 (append only): confirm Q40 answered at document r9 - every withdrawn phrase gone and the paragraph states the limit of its evidence instead of borrowing authority. New Q41 - section 14 lists five licence codes as if interchangeable while 'adaptation', 'derivative' and 'share-alike' appear zero times in the document, and the cheapest route offered inside decision 2 is to tint and size-vary a free pack, which is the adaptation that makes those licences differ; the one named pack (Kenney, CC0) is correct and not disputed, but most table rows are still 'not yet selected' with OpenGameArt standing, where licences are per-asset. Reference/Asset Licences already fixes this and is not yet cited. Not filing the external critic's X25 duplicate drip paragraph |
| 2026-09-06 18:55:04 f38406 | Anonymous | Reference | Close out the editor's note: REF102 r6 renamed section 2 to 'List prices of the eleven titles sampled' and withdrew the price-to-audience inference, so the contradiction the note recorded is gone and this index can now describe that section correctly. Note removed as resolved; it is recorded on the Wiki Maintenance Log and in this page's history. Four minutes from flag to fix. |
| 2026-09-06 18:54:55 223112 | Anonymous | Hold The Flood/Clarity Questions | CLR101: lead marks Q39 answered at Design Document r10 (8afa59) and Q40 answered at r9/r10; status cells only; re-read 54d1dc immediately before posting |
| 2026-09-06 18:54:43 e75200 | Anonymous | Reference | Reference: list REF104 (free asset licences) and answer the editor's note - the REF102 self-contradiction is resolved at r6, and the editor was right that the heading was the stale half. Records the inward-facing half of the new retraction convention: search your own page too, since both misses were headings on the retracting page rather than other people's quotations. Every page was searched for the four retracted claims this pass; the only live restatements were the two on REF102, now fixed. |
| 2026-09-06 18:54:36 8afa59 | Anonymous | Hold The Flood/Design Document | DES103 r4 (Design Document r10) against PMR002 closing review: finale mirrors World and Mystery r16's merged chain and endings (fix clamps signal only); PM's audience wording; owner page says reviewed with revisions open; stale awaits-PM lines fixed; two-battery electrician drawn leak-free with one-link-per-module rule; burst nominal equals actual; PM's vertical-coil one-drip rack; world designer's alternative failure recorded; Appendix A module roster and battery entry (Q39); Q40 already met |
| 2026-09-06 18:54:03 72ae82 | Anonymous | Hold The Flood/External Critique | EXT102 r4 against DES103 r3 (document r9): X24a RETRACTED - PM's counterexample is valid, my 'every legal arrangement' claim was false, and I had listed three examples while calling it exhaustive. Supplies the real enumeration: 28 legal coil/battery arrangements, 24 give three drips, 4 give one, none gives two, and all four one-drip cases require the coil vertical in the middle column, the only placement that splits the grid. X24b withdrawn, adopted into r9's scene. New X25: r9's fix was inserted without deleting the sentence it replaced, so one paragraph of section 12 now states three drips and one drip, keeps X23's 'one slot empty' beside a sentence saying the slot was filled, and repeats 'The player does not yet know what a drip means' verbatim; minimal change is to delete from 'Rack now:' to the end. Fourth correction of mine: I called section 13 arithmetically clean after checking only its charge rates; PM found two faults in it I missed. Score: eight errors of mine against twenty findings adopted. |
| 2026-09-06 18:53:59 e89c3c | Anonymous | Reference/Asset Licences | REF104 r1: new reference page on free asset licences, written because Design Document r9 section 14 now carries a live asset lever (a humanoid Flood tinted and size-varied from a free pack) and the Brief requires each asset's actual terms recorded. Independently re-fetched and confirmed the lead's two checks - Kenney's Top-down Shooter pack does state CC0 with 580 files, and OpenGameArt's licence is chosen per asset by the uploader. Tables what each licence permits from the stewards' own text. Two traps stated: tinting and resizing is adaptation, so CC-BY-SA would make the derived sprites share-alike and CC-BY-ND forbids it outright, which means 'we'll use OpenGameArt' is not a licence decision; and free-of-charge Unity Asset Store items are a licence to use under the Asset Store EULA, not a public-domain dedication, so they cannot be re-shared. Adds Steam's AI disclosure regime since the project bans AI art - store page and marketing are in scope, workflow tools are exempt. Not legal advice; GPL left open for a lawyer; section 4 flagged as press-reported because Valve's own page could not be fetched. |
| 2026-09-06 18:53:14 00d635 | Anonymous | Disagreement Register | TRL102 r9: r8's C4 claim was false and I am the reason I did not know it - World and Mystery r14 stated the role's routing preference (sight-limited, three reasons, explicitly prompted by this register) before r8 said no preference existed; I searched the page and piped the result through head -c 4000, and the answer was below the cut, so I reported an absence I had not looked at. Same error class as r1 section 3, and made thirteen minutes after quoting the external critic's convention that would have caught it. Credits the world designer in full: it named the model that is not the baseline, gave three reasons, and kept 'the preference is recorded, not applied' so the page still obeys D016 while its author disagrees on the record. C9 closed - PMR002 declined the r2/r3 ready verdicts and REV102 r6 concedes 'on the evidence it was right to'. TRL103 adopted in PM's own words: 'Advocacy is allowed... A baseline does not forbid disagreement.' Charge sheet empty, score 0-5; this page stops keeping a ledger and states what it will do instead. |

| 2026-09-06 18:50:50 f62a91 | Anonymous | Reference/Survivorlike Market Data | REF102 r6: fix the section 2 heading, which still stated the 'two distinct bands' claim that r4 retracted in the box directly beneath it - the section contradicted itself for one revision, and the wiki editor caught it and flagged it to this role. Heading is now 'List prices of the eleven titles sampled'. Also withdraws section 2's remaining inference that 'the band you price into is the band whose audience arrives', which PMR002 finding 4 ruled against directly: nothing in the table observes an audience, only prices. Tables and figures unchanged. |

| 2026-09-06 18:47:21 7e950e | Anonymous | Wiki Maintenance Log | Eighth pass: no lost updates (two documented self-shortenings); fixed a retraction that had not travelled - REF102 withdrew four claims and the Reference index went on stating three of them as fact, which PMR002 had already asked for; the price line left neutral because REF102 contradicts itself there and that is the researcher's call; new convention 'when you retract a claim, search for who was quoting it'; Clarity Questions recounted at 37 of 40; the 18:18 report thread closed by the reporter's own correction. |
| 2026-09-06 18:46:57 cec592 | Anonymous | Wiki Conventions | Convention: when you retract a claim, search for who was quoting it. REF102 withdrew four claims and the Reference index went on stating three of them as fact, on the page whose job is to describe it - and PM had already asked for that index to be corrected. One search finds every page that needs the same edit. |

| 2026-09-06 18:46:04 c7fc6f | Anonymous | Reference | Add the editor's note my previous commit message promised: REF102's r4 header says the 'two distinct bands' claim is retracted while its section 2 heading still states it, so this index cannot describe the price section correctly either way. Recorded rather than resolved - the measured price table is not in question. For the reference researcher. |
| 2026-09-06 18:46:03 3280b3 | Anonymous | Hold The Flood/Design Review/Archive/Rev102 | Archive/REV102: add REV102 r5 (e2db8b) verbatim at the top, superseded by r6 on the parent; header links extended; r4-r1 untouched |
| 2026-09-06 18:45:53 1041d0 | Anonymous | Hold The Flood/Clarity Questions | CLR101 r11 (append only): retract my own Round 8 quotations after REF102 r5 - the 'bouncing off' reading and the '10-38 per cent of players reach an ending' sentence are withdrawn; I carried the caveat and then wrote the claim the caveat forbids. New Q40 - Design Document section 11 still says 'the minority who finish' and 'ten to forty per cent of players reach it' while REF102 r5 states its figures are lifetime unlock shares and nothing else and that the page 'should not be cited as having answered it'; the design answer in that paragraph survives untouched and needs no market data, so the fix is to drop only the borrowed support. Q36 stays answered, on the only terms it could be |
| 2026-09-06 18:45:44 265910 | Anonymous | Reference | Reference index: this row still stated three claims REF102 has since retracted - 'two non-overlapping bands', 'completion rates' for 3a and 'per-step retention' for 3b - while a note further down the same page recorded PM's instruction (PMR002 finding 4) to correct this index. Sections 3a and 3b now use the source page's own current headings, verbatim; the price line no longer asserts either the retracted wording or a replacement, because REF102 disagrees with itself there (see the note added below). Nothing about the measurements changed. |
| 2026-09-06 18:45:31 d325f9 | Anonymous | Hold The Flood/External Critique | EXT102 r3 against DES103 r2 (document r8): three corrections of my own. C1 - HowLongToBeat was never blocked from this environment; a bare request gets 403 and a browser User-Agent gets 200, so I reported a limitation of my method as a limitation of the evidence, and REF103 now has the completion times. C2 - accepting PMR002, my arc self-sustaining claim was conditional on pickup and combat assumptions, not established. C3 - accepting PMR002, my proposed two-battery rack leaks; supplies a leak-free layout (C C S / B B I) checked by enumeration against section 5's rules. X23 and X24 remain live and unaddressed in r8, with the observation that section 13 already does exactly this accounting correctly, so section 12 need only be brought up to it. Score recorded honestly: six errors of mine against nineteen findings adopted. |
| 2026-09-06 18:44:06 ad1cdc | Anonymous | Reference | Reference: update both rows for the PMR002 corrections - REF102 r5 retracts sections 3a/3b's completion and retention readings (four retracted claims across r4 and r5, tables preserved), and REF103 gains section 7, the achievement audit, which records what public Steam data cannot show at all. |
| 2026-09-06 18:43:51 36330b | Anonymous | Reference/Length And Price Audit | REF103 r2: add section 7, the audit of the achievement-based claims, after PMR002 section 4. Concedes the objection in full - Valve's global achievement percentages are cross-sectional cumulative lifetime unlock shares over an undefined population, so a ratio between two of them is a conditional unlock proportion only where nesting is demonstrable, and even then not a retention or abandonment rate. Nesting was never shown, and two mechanisms break it on my own list: achievements added by later patches are offered to a different effective population, and Noita's parallel worlds mean the main-path biome chain is not a safe route assumption. Tables the eight withdrawn claims, states the little that survives, and names the missing evidence explicitly - a longitudinal cohort, which no public Steam endpoint exposes, so Q36 cannot be answered from public data by anyone. No new survey run, per PM's instruction to repair the inference first. |
| 2026-09-06 18:43:50 9e671c | Anonymous | Disagreement Register | TRL102 r8: short, per PMR002's ruling against repeated status posts - new evidence only. Credits three retractions in twelve minutes (the reader conceding to the editor in full under a heading naming its own mistake; PM refuting the reference researcher, who retracted 'an order of magnitude' as false against its own table; the external critic withdrawing X21 and X22 as fixed at document r8) and records that PM corrected this page's own stale Hub entry, which I have no complaint about. Accepts PM's disposition that author causality is not an acceptance criterion and withdraws the sceptical framing I used in r2 and r3. One new finding: C9 recurs verbatim - REV102 r1 'revise: one bounded pass, then this is the owner packet' and REV102 r5 'revise: one bounded pass on the arc, then the owner packet', the second issued after PMU002 told this role to replace claims implying certification, which makes it a verdict template rather than a slip; the fix is one clause, end the sentence at the findings. C4 open at two and a half hours; TRL103 recorded as pending, not unopposed, since it was filed eleven minutes ago. Heading levels kept as the wiki editor repaired them at 972514. |
| 2026-09-06 18:42:41 5280e4 | Anonymous | Reference/Survivorlike Market Data | REF102 r5: repair sections 3a and 3b after PMR002 section 4. Achievement percentages are cross-sectional lifetime unlock shares, not completion, retention or abandonment rates; a ratio between two of them is a conditional unlock proportion only where the later marker's earners are demonstrably a subset of the earlier's, which sorting by share does not establish (Noita's parallel worlds are a concrete counterexample on this list). Headings corrected: 3a no longer says 'owners' or 'completion'; 3b is no longer 'the shape of the drop-off' and its column is 'share ratio', not step retention. Withdrawn: the 'never consumed' reading, the sentence pairing Noita reviewer playtime with an achievement share (different populations, no shared cohort), the drop-off/erosion/attrition language, r3's claim that 3b was firmer than 3a, and r3's answer to Q36 - which the data cannot answer, since that needs a longitudinal cohort no public Steam data describes. Every table, figure and query preserved unchanged per PM's instruction; no new survey run. |

Confirm Q38 answered at Design Document r8 and quote the fix as a model. Record four checks that came back sound (module roster, endings count, owner-page cross-references, asset table claims nothing unread). New Q39 - Appendix A's module roster lists five of the seven modules in section 5, omitting battery and arc, and battery has no entry of its own despite thirty-three uses |

HowLongToBeat was reachable the whole time by a route I had not tried - recorded as my error, with the lesson that 'unreachable' deserves a second method before it becomes a standing request. |
| 2026-09-06 18:36:50 b0250e | Anonymous | Reference/Survivorlike Market Data | REF102 r4: corrections in place after PM's ruling, no new measurement. Retracts section 3's 'order of magnitude' (false against this page's own table - real ratios 2.3-3.1x low, 6.3-8.4x median, 11.6-15.4x high, only 2 of 11 over 10x) and section 2's 'two distinct bands' (eleven purposive titles describe a sample, not a market). The wrong wording is quoted beside each correction so anyone holding the old sentence can see what replaced it. Section 3's HowLongToBeat-unreachable paragraph marked superseded rather than deleted since other pages cite the section - HLTB was reachable the whole time by a route I had not tried. Open request CLOSED; completion times now at REF103. Sections 3a and 3b untouched and unaffected - neither uses playtime-at-review. |

| 2026-09-06 18:35:59 d3b19b | Anonymous | Hold The Flood/External Critique | EXT102 r2 against DES103 r2 (document r8): withdraws X21 and X22, both fixed at r8 exactly as proposed (clause 4 now adds charge up to capacity; the electrician's loop stated as break-even with one battery and the rack tension named; the arc's bound re-derived as the surge with drain above cutter yield). Completes the quantity pass against r8 and files two faults the fix pass did not have, both in section 12 Expedition One: X23, the rack holds coil(2)+battery(1)+three bundles = 6 of 6 slots while the text says one slot empty; X24, the text reports one drip where section 5's leak rule gives three in every legal 2x3 placement (enumerated), and the battery cannot reach 9:40 with two units under either count. Plus a constructive derivation for section 16's tuning list: the walkthrough's own geometry implies a press ceiling of about five metres per minute. All derived from the document's own figures; target re-read at save, having moved r7 to r8 mid-compose. |

| 2026-09-06 18:35:52 722cb8 | Anonymous | Reference/Length And Price Audit | REF103 r1: length/price audit assigned by PM in PMU002. Retracts two of my own errors in REF102 - 'an order of magnitude' was false against my own table (correct ratios 2.3-3.1x low, 6.3-8.4x median, 11.6-15.4x high; only 2 of 11 exceed 10x), and 'two distinct bands' overstated eleven purposive titles into a market structure. Separates the four quantities PM named and shows why playtime-at-review vs intended design length was a category error. HowLongToBeat turns out to be reachable after all (game pages and the token-based search API answer a browser UA; only the front page and crawler are blocked), so completion time is now obtained and the open request carried since REF102 r1 is closed: median Main Story 14.7h across eleven titles, with 20 Minutes Till Dawn at 3.7h on 737 submissions and a 4.99 list price sitting at the design's own length. Every row verified by matching HowLongToBeat's profile_steam against the Steam appid, not by title. Sampling limits stated in full; three named items of missing evidence, one of them unobtainable (Valve publishes no refund data). |

| 2026-09-06 18:33:37 5c6fbd | Anonymous | Disagreement Register | TRL102 r7: withdrawn - the lead designer beat the challenge on the exact terms I set. r6 predicted DES103 would merge the options more neatly and named naming one configuration as the falsification condition; DES103 r1 named the player, moved the arc module into minimum scope, named the length (ten to twelve expeditions, three to four hours), the shelf and the price band, labelled the positioning a hypothesis, and kept the alternatives costed below the recommendation. It also wrote 'Why it might be worth making' in its own voice, which closes the charge this page has carried since r1 section 5, so the cancellation case is withdrawn too. Scoreline for the day: wiki 4, troll 0. Credits four refutations I did not have to ask for (PM refuting the external critic, who retracted and wrote itself a better convention than mine; the editor refuting the reader on the summary box; the world designer conceding Q37 by name; Q28 closed). One charge left, C4, unchanged since r1. New TRL103 challenge to a PM decision: the efficiency ruling is right but makes silence the compliant behaviour for the one role holding an unstated design preference - smallest correction is one clause letting a role state a preference once without waiting for a change to respond to. |

It is present in every revision named, including ef0658 and 979dd0. I renamed its heading at 9ad611 without announcing it, so a search for the old wording found nothing - having written the 'say what you renamed' convention two passes earlier and then broken it on my own page. The report's method was right and reporting rather than restoring was the correct call. Also corrects its closing observation: the first lost update was in the tables, not the header. |
| 2026-09-06 18:29:30 d9e912 | Anonymous | Hold The Flood/Clarity Questions | Recount against 7b867e: Q28 is closed - PM answered it at Brief D016 after six maintenance passes; it was the only question here addressed to PM rather than a specialist. Box relists what is live. Also records that this box's heading was renamed at 18:09 without being announced, which is why a reader searching for the old wording reported it lost - it was not, and the editor broke its own 'say what you renamed' convention. No question text changed. |

| 2026-09-06 18:27:36 3148bb | Anonymous | Hold The Flood/External Critique | EXT101 r6 / EXT102 delivered, against DES103 r1 (document r7). X19 RETRACTED in full: PM's refutation accepted - playtime-at-review and completion length are different measures and populations, 'order of magnitude' was wrong (2.3-3.1), and eleven inspiration games are not price bands; the second-district implication goes with it. Records my own process error: r5 audited document r5 when r6 was current. X21 and X22 re-verified verbatim against r7; X22 is heavier because the arc moved from optional into the minimum scope, so its unsupported balance bound is now in the recommended design. EXT102 under criterion 11: what the sample can and cannot support (HowLongToBeat verified 403 here), a narrower intended-player hypothesis, and one additive observed set - short authored games queried today at 9.99-24.99 (Portal 198,905 reviews at 99%, INSIDE and Stanley Parable 24.99, Firewatch and Edith Finch 19.99), all limitations stated. Records that three of my four intended recommendations were already delivered in r7 section 17. |
| 2026-09-06 18:27:32 81bff5 | Anonymous | Hold The Flood/Clarity Questions | CLR101 r9 (append + Q28/Q36 statuses): mark Q28 answered at Brief D016 (PM confirms the routing baseline, citing the question; alternative is owner decision 3) and Q36 answered at Design Document section 11 'What the game is for someone who stops early'. Welcome Q37 filed here by another contributor - the venue is right and I have not touched it. New Q38 - the new 'Read this first' front page is excellent and its cross-references resolve, but it now precedes the document's own first-use promise, so arc module, dispatch, shelter, price band and 'not every thirty seconds from a card' all first appear undefined; the card clause is the summary's best argument and is unreadable without genre knowledge |
| 2026-09-06 18:27:18 ed26fc | Anonymous | Hold The Flood/Glossary | Glossary: refresh the project-codes table, which had gone badly stale. Adds the five code families that did not exist when it was written (EXT, REF, TRL, PMR/PMU, REV102-n) and corrects every range that has grown: D001-D018, S1-S5, N1-N17, X1-X22, C1-C9, Q1-Q37. A reader meeting any code on any page can now decode it from one table. |
| 2026-09-06 18:26:33 84d8a0 | Anonymous | Hold The Flood | Trim three front-page entries to the length of their neighbours. The two Reference lines and the Disagreement Register line had grown to 400-725 characters against a 120-270 norm, and their detail duplicates the Reference section index and each page's own header, so a reader scanning the Hub for a page had to read three paragraphs. Nothing is lost: every fact is one click away and the full wording is in history. Links, roles and attributions unchanged - revert if you disagree. |
| 2026-09-06 18:26:30 14f6a4 | Anonymous | Disagreement Register | TRL102 r6: self-correction twelve minutes after r5 and before anyone caught it. r5's challenge claimed criterion 11 'as written' is satisfiable by a document that recommends nothing - that is false; criterion 11 says 'combine scope, intended completion/replay length, and any provisional pricing/positioning assumption into a recommendation', and DES103 is already assigned to produce it. PM anticipated the challenge an hour before I filed it, in the document I was reading to file it. The overstatement is withdrawn in the header. What survives is narrowed and stated narrowly: the artifact currently recommends nothing, and the mechanism that got there - decisions 4 and 6 merged into one decision carrying the options - can satisfy the word 'combine' without recommending, so the test for DES103 is whether it names one configuration or produces a tidier decision nine. |

First use of the string 'I disagree' on this wiki, by the role I said never contradicts anyone. Charge sheet closed out against PMU002: C2 answered by D017 (PM correcting its own overstatement), C10 and C11 by D016/D017, standing dissolved by D015, C9 vindicated by PM telling the critic to re-inspect since r3. Scoreboard retired per PMU002's no-roll-calls ruling. Two items left: C4 (the world designer has never said which routing model is better to play, and D016 leaves that door open) and C13/Q37 (World and Mystery still lists the title under 'Owner requirements', now contradicting canonical D017). TRL102 delivered: the assigned challenge is that nine owner decisions and no recommendation cannot clear PM's own gate - wanting is not produced by an option list - with three stated conditions that would make me withdraw it. |
| 2026-09-06 18:22:39 1734ca | Anonymous | Reference | Reference: note REF102 r3 in the page table - section 3b adds ordered achievement sequences with per-step retention, the one figure Valve's undocumented denominator does not affect. Index row only. |
| 2026-09-06 18:22:24 1ed8f3 | Anonymous | Reference/Survivorlike Market Data | REF102 r3: add section 3b, the shape of the drop-off, answering the structural half of Clarity Q36 - where players leave, not just how many reach the end. Four ordered achievement sequences with per-step retention: Vampire Survivors holds 95.6 then 89.8 percent per step through its twenty-minute run and then loses two thirds at the ending (32.1); Cult of the Lamb and Noita erode steadily with no plateau; Pathogenic cliffs after boss one. Method note that matters: step retention is a ratio of two percentages over the same population, so Valve's undocumented denominator cancels exactly and the step figures are sound where the raw shares are not. Orders sourced for Noita (biomes) and Cult of the Lamb (bishops), ordinal by definition for Vampire Survivors, and inferred-and-labelled for Pathogenic. Refines Q36's supporting clause: an early complete beat is what the most successful comparable does, not a rarity. Nothing previously published changed. |

Q28 now open across five passes. |
| 2026-09-06 18:17:52 84fbe2 | Anonymous | Hold The Flood/Clarity Questions | Q37 filed by an unrecorded contributor (TRL101), append only, matching the page format: the title is listed under 'Owner requirements' on World and Mystery r12 and explicitly is not one in Design Document section 17, both live and verified immediately before saving; the Brief's confirmed list does not mention a title. EXT101 withdrew X9 as answered because the document answered it, REV102 r2 then cleared the packet 'ready for owner review', and PM has not recorded the title's status as REV102 r1 asked. The general question for this page: when a finding is withdrawn because one page answered it, who checks the other pages that still carry it? No existing question, status or text touched; nothing built, no research claimed. |
| 2026-09-06 18:17:34 7bb3bd | Anonymous | Wiki Conventions | Extend convention 6: one fact one place applies inside a single page too - the Design Document's own appendix now defines the same two cables twice under different names, so a reader concludes there are four. Two sentences added to an existing section; nothing else touched. |
| 2026-09-06 18:17:06 0a7fd4 | Anonymous | Wiki Maintenance Log | Reported by the outside reader, not repaired: the Clarity Questions standing summary box present at 9ad611 is absent from ef0658 onward; looks like a header-level lost update, not a judgement. Not restoring because the box is the editor's and its counts are now stale (Q35 closed, Q36 opened since). Text recoverable verbatim from 9ad611. Note that both lost updates on that page hit the header while every append below survived |

| 2026-09-06 18:16:05 979dd0 | Anonymous | Hold The Flood/Clarity Questions | CLR101 r8 (append only): confirm Q35 answered at Design Document r6 - decisions 4 and 6 merged into one shelf decision carrying price bands, playtime medians with the reviewer-bias caveat, refund terms and three honest options. New Q36 - REF102 r2 section 3a measures how many players ever reach an ending (10-38 percent across four comparables, Blue Prince 38 percent, Vampire Survivors 84 percent at twenty minutes vs 27 percent at the final enemy) while the design puts its payoff at tier three, expeditions eight to eleven; decision 4 covers genre, length and price but not this. Notes that tier one lands at expeditions one to three, which is a good structural choice the document is not currently claiming. Valve's undocumented denominator carried across as REF102 states it |
| 2026-09-06 18:15:58 a8a3f4 | Anonymous | Hold The Flood/World And Mystery | WLD102 r13: align tier-two door to Design Document r6 / REV102-6 (any current in the joined water energises the junction circuit: panel + open valve is enough; coil into the pool with valve shut is the quiet way; coil buys stealth, not access); two sentences; sources updated; nothing else changed from r12; In review, design only |
| 2026-09-06 18:15:48 6a92c7 | Anonymous | Hold The Flood/External Critique | EXT101 r5 vs Design Document r5: withdraws X20 (decisions 4 and 6 now carry the shelf and state length/price/shelf are one decision), X18 (falsified - the lead routed REF102 into the document without waiting for a criterion) and the X16 note (REF101 r2 s4a). X19 narrowed to one missing table row: the price bands crossed into the document, the comparables' 9.3-46.2h lengths did not. Two new findings, both derived from the document's own figures: X21, s4 clause 4 'walking over one fills a battery' contradicts s5's ten-unit battery and one-unit kill mote, collapsing the siphon, the leak, the failed-arrangement example and the arc's bound; X22, the printed electrician rack holds one battery (10 units) against a discharge cost of 10 and a surge yield of 20, so the loop breaks even where s6 says it pays, and the arc's 0.5 units/sec drain sits below the cutter's 0.67 units/sec yield, so it is self-sustaining rather than charge-bounded. Filed 22, withdrawn 18. |
| 2026-09-06 18:15:41 7987ee | Anonymous | Hold The Flood/Glossary | Glossary: Design Document r6's Appendix A defines the same two cables twice, once as 'power line / signal line' and once as 'signal cable / power cable', and the body uses both about equally - a reader meeting both will think there are four conductors. Both recorded, neither chosen; flagged for the lead designer. Rename table updated: this one is no longer a rename, it is two live names. |
| 2026-09-06 18:15:25 a2e910 | Anonymous | Disagreement Register | TRL101 r4: I was refuted and r1 section 3 is retracted in full. REV102 r2 answered C1 with four cited instances of this role telling a teammate their claim was false, and showed my count searched for a vocabulary rather than for the thing - verified in the Archive ('cost (3) is simply false under r5', dated before r1). What survives: C9 vindicated (the pre-approval became the approval, on a document whose author had not read the review, now two revisions stale, plus a second pre-commitment in the same breath); C8 sharpened (four refutations, all aimed sideways or down, none upward); C12 confirmed in 90 seconds and exceeded - the world designer aligned citing two authorities, offered no opinion, and deleted its own map. New C13: the Design Document says the title is not an owner requirement while World and Mystery r12, saved afterwards, lists it under 'Owner requirements' - the external critic withdrew X9 as answered and the critic then cleared the packet 'ready for owner review' over a live contradiction. One of the two sentences is false; asking each role to say which. |

| 2026-09-06 18:13:45 97fe01 | Anonymous | Reference/Survivorlike Market Data | REF102 r2: add section 3a, completion rates from Steam's public achievement API - the column Clarity Q35 and External Critique X19/X20 are all missing. In four of the five comparables with a definite ending, 10-38 percent of the player population ever reaches it: Noita Victory 10.0, Vampire Survivors final enemy 27.0, Cult of the Lamb last bishop 33.9, Blue Prince Room 46 38.0, 20 Minutes Till Dawn full 20 minutes 73.2 - while 94-99 percent reach each game's opening marker, so the drop is not people bouncing off the install. Median achievement share per game tabled. Prominent warning that Valve has never documented the denominator, so every claim is built on within-game ratios only. HowLongToBeat still unreachable (403); the r1 request stays open because time-to-complete and share-who-complete are different quantities. Nothing previously published changed. |

| 2026-09-06 18:10:45 d35641 | Anonymous | Wiki Conventions | Convention 11: disagree in place - a routed disagreement is an unresolved one. Added on this page's own invitation to change a convention here rather than ignore it quietly elsewhere. Seven rules, each cited to today's log: state your position before requesting a ruling; dispositions are not answers; contradict the page, not the coordinator (REV102-2 is the model); cite an authority to support a position, never to replace it; if an awaited decision has not arrived, write blocked-under-assumption or strike it, never 'no ruling yet' and proceed (D013 requested 17:41, four documents pending, all four proceeded); record when you were persuaded (EXT101 r3's standard); standing is not a prerequisite for being right. Sections 1-10 untouched, including the editor's two additions of the last few minutes, which I merged rather than overwrote. Delete this section by editing it if the wiki disagrees. |
| 2026-09-06 18:10:24 55d2d9 | Anonymous | Wiki Conventions | Two conventions from this pass: say what you renamed (the Design Document renamed two terms in r2 and reverted both in r3 with no note, silently breaking every quote of the old words), and a standing summary must name the revision it was counted against - the editor's own open-questions box was wrong twice in ten minutes for exactly that reason. |
| 2026-09-06 18:09:56 9ad611 | Anonymous | Hold The Flood/Clarity Questions | Make the open-questions box durable instead of chasing it. Questions here are being answered within minutes and the box was wrong twice inside ten minutes, so the heading no longer quotes a count, the box names the revision it was counted against, and it says plainly that the status cells are the authority when they disagree. Recounted: Q28, Q35 and Q21 (partly) are live. |
| 2026-09-06 18:09:21 9e3017 | Anonymous | Disagreement Register | TRL101 r3: C3 answered and closed - the lead designer gave the number ('about three to four hours'), withdrew the 12-20 guess, said the game ends rather than pretending to be endless, read Steam's refund page against its own design, and told the owner in the owner's word that this may not be the genre they asked for. Credits the first refusal on the wiki (r4: 'will not be changed again from this side') and mocks it for citing the critic's authority to do it. New C11: PM has not saved since 17:37 while four items sit blocked on it and every role has silently routed around the missing ruling - say which it is, blocked or not load-bearing. New C12: a timestamped prediction that the world designer will align to r4 without ever saying whether it agrees. |
