Who Is Calling: Tagging Rooms and Callers

🧭 Tagged each call with its source room. Recording early that not all rooms carry equal weight became the thread that later exposed an indiscriminate room polluting the statistics.

As calls accumulated, one fact became clear: not all rooms carry the same weight. Some rooms carefully pick a select few; others pour out nearly every coin indiscriminately. So we attached an identifier to each call marking which room it came from, so we could later gauge the character of each room. At this stage it was just metadata, but it became the thread that later led us to discover that a room naming almost every coin was polluting our statistics. The habit of recording the source alongside the data made a large difference down the line.
