Definitely commenting on this before I go to bed so you know that I read it in full, and I'll be picking each part one by one. (I apologize if some things don't make sense; it's midnight.)
In regards to the tasks, first of all: when I created them, I did have the 5+ comments in mind primarily because it was a low number and would work for most people but as soon as I started noticing that multiple threads were not reaching that threshold - which is probably due to timezone issues along with having 2+ players deal with a task, so I'll be honest that I can't think of a good optimal solution that gives players both the ability to get the candy when they can with the more rewarding feeling.
I don't think I can manage to get the best of both worlds in this case because of how tasks work and how other people are going to end up tagging into it regardless, most of the time. I'm also not psychic and can't tell if a thread will be a solo one over a group one. But if anybody else has any suggestions, feel free to bring it up with me and I'm willing to come up with a compromise.
In regards to the trial: I agree that the trial definitely did slow down for a bit on both days; I noticed on the Discord chat that either some people were working weekends or people were working on a strange non-American timezone. I know there's a good percentage of us who were either new to the murdergame experience or were dealing with some things or were dealing with the other murdergame - since Trustfell was ending this weekend, people wanted to prioritize endgame, I presumed - or other things.
As for room searches, I definitely understand that concern and will keep it in mind moving forward depending on what decision the game makes as a whole.
