The two halves must match.
A tally stick recorded a debt in notches, then was split lengthwise so each party held half. Neither half proved anything alone.
How we work
Decisions carry their reasons
Nothing ships with "because we said so" attached. If a thing was refused, the refusal is published with the reason.
Contributors are named permanently
If a suggestion gets built, the person who made it is credited for as long as the game exists — including if the content is later removed.
We publish our mistakes
When something breaks, we write down what broke, why nothing caught it, and what changed so it cannot happen the same way twice.
