@Nekodatta do you mind clarifying the wordcount goal metric? I'm so awful with thread phrasing, sorry:
I took this to mean that each day was its own separate try to hit a Tier, i.e. 9000 words on Day 1, 9000 words on Day 2, and 10,001 words on Day 3 means neither Days 1 or 2 hit the tier, and Day 3 hit Tier 3, making it the current highest tier.
But this one looks like it's a cumulative thing, i.e. with the same example above, total word count = 28,001, so we clear Tier 1?
fwiw this will not really alter my participation in a meaningful way (I will still keep feeding the fren!), and I think the version your most recent post implied feels much more fun, but I wanted to check! I'm so bad at picking out the minutiae in rules threads; I'm so sorry lol.
