A big construction day. The gameplay taxonomy naming is final: all six major categories became idioms — Speak Your Mind, Settle the Score, Take Your Marks, Golden Quill, Leave It to Fate, Crystal Ball — with English counterparts switched to everyday slang, and one naming table as the single source of truth so nobody freelances anymore. A new engine launched: Match Up, left-and-right columns you connect in pairs — no standard answers, different for everyone, with drawn-line animation. Questions support images now, up to three across all types.

The biggest slab: zone page skeletons for six domains — music, anime, games, film & TV, sports, tech — with a new popularity-ranking engine: one vote per day, live standings, three anti-abuse measures, and entries can burn Fuel for a 24-hour heat badge. The heat price got tuned twice in one day, from 10 per hour up to 50 — between gut feel and a final call sits real data.
