Discussion

Post-Daniel fallout:

Last week didn't go great. Daniel presented. Opinions divided. No resolution.

This week: tension lingering.

Eddy: "Can we just decide? I'm tired of looking at that box."

Tidepool: "Why is this such a big deal? They're just ducks."

Eddy: "They're NOT just ducks. They're—"

Ripple: "Okay, let's pause."

Rising tensions:

Side conversations happened this week. Lines forming.

Eddy and Ripple talked. Firm on Orthodox position. Tidepool and Pondscum talked. Frustrated with rigidity. Flotsam and Stillwater talked. Caught in middle. Lumen tried to mediate informally. Limited success.

Quorum: "This is starting to feel like the Murk thing."

Ripple: "It's not. This is internal. We're all acting in good faith."

Eddy: "Are we though?"

Tidepool: "What's THAT supposed to mean?"

Lumen: "STOP. We need help."

Zoda request:

Lumen proposed: bring in Zoda to moderate next week's discussion.

Zoda has experience. Neutral party. Respected.

Vote: Unanimous yes (even Eddy and Tidepool).

Ripple: "I'll ask them."

Quactions

Notes

Duration: 44 min. Tense.

We've had conflict before. We'll have it again. The question is how we handle it.

Snacks: Nobody brought any. Says something.
