the couriers stop again and so does the room
December for the second time, and the room was better prepared and still caught out. Cut-off dates were posted, tables were kept, and several members nonetheless found themselves counting vials in the third week of the month. The channel handled it without smugness, which is the tone it has settled into for anything that happens annually.

What happened
- Members were told again to count supply in weeks, and the people who had done it in November were quietly pleased with themselves.
- Qingdao Saber and TFC posted cut-offs early, and the channel logged which suppliers had communicated rather than which had shipped fastest.
- Two members with four days of supply were talked through holding a dose rather than diluting further than a syringe can measure.
- A payment that went to a correct address on the wrong network was described accurately as gone, with no comfort attached.
- The room started slowing noticeably in the second week, which the archive shows as thinning logs rather than empty ones.
