So was it the case that people were starved for time? Was it a cause of “soft-defection”?
At least one person in the house had expressed interest, and then before the house started took on additional constraints on their time, and so found themselves in this awkward bind where they could make time for the mandatory things, but just the mandatory things, and this was not quite in the spirit of the thing. (Most of the time when people were in ‘black knight’ roles, it was because of this sort of thing.)
I think this was comparatively small; I think the red knights caused more trouble by adding friction to the system that slowed everything down (not just the stuff that they pushed back again, but also all the other things that didn’t happen because Duncan or others were paying attention to the pushback instead of building other things).
