Four.

If I may, I must observe this is quite the disorganised operation.
From a metanarrative perspective, one suspects this 'thousands tokens’ business' might likely be suppressed with either selective outer membrane filtering and/or creative nullifications of events before the next beat happens.*

For example one might will in some distortions in the membrane fabrics to redirect the sending (such a happened with the delightfully darling little HONKIT) or conceptualize 'Jojo the n dimensional ectoplasmic supersonic flying blobfish monkey trained to catch wayward package before they materialize'



... It's a work in progress.

It is true there is no guarantee as to whether this would work as the metanarrative final authority seems to be membrane filtering and distilling council members activity for the sake of perceived ludonarrative efficiency*** but one suspects multiple council members influences would trump over a single one, should it come to this.
At the very least the experiment in itself is worth trying.

But one would hate to spoil the current ludonarrative experience of senior council members*** (Besides all the talking with the clients was starting to take a little more beats than efficient so if it works as an incentive to
Still substance for cognitive cogitations**** should enforcing some metanarrative coherency into future deliberation become a sticking point between beats.

Oh and a customary greetings to our clients.
If it’s not indiscreet of me to ask, one is a material bound organic but the nature of the others is.. unclear a ...narrative bound self roaming cognisant, perhaps ? (well as in so far as it doesn’t apply to anyone on this side of the outer membranes) ?

Anyhow clients, if you have any last requests or questions, I would recommend they’d be asked now, as to attempt to grant them before the next beat, otherwise I fear we may have to move this exchange elsewhere.

* Also know in more primitive patois as: "selectively reinforcing the fourth wall by majority vote, if the will of one council member can influence reality, one suspects several could make up some reason to veto it before the next update roll in."

** Also known in simpler idiomatic as "the author will filter and combine suggestion in what will make the most fun story for them"

*** Also known in more vulgar vernacular as 'being a killjoy who get in the way of others fun'

**** Also known in more crude cant : as 'food for thought'
... Alright, I'll admit I may be overdoing to whole technonarrative sesquipedalian loquaciousness there....
