We don't know too much about it either... It's what originally disturbed the nova, before everyone was brought here. From what we can tell, it isn't doing much other than try to eat nova--and what nova we can gather back is then safe from being eaten by it again.
Regarding the first part--well, yes. The idea that you're creating new nova is another misconception that's popular among the participants, but we did say at the very beginning that you were meant to restore what was siphoned away.
As for the next bit... I can't speak for other teams, since I don't know exactly how nova they're collecting, but I've found that the number of people on one's team hasn't drastically affected how much nova is gathered each week. Numbers may be going down, but it hasn't slowed down nova accumulation.
[ cries in fox. why are all of our RUMORS and FACTS so poorly checked. what do you mean we're not creating nova? izumo is sobbing somewhere on the inside. what if people talked to their leaders more and spread that information?
SURE DOUBT IS ACCEPTABLE...but izumo would die for fox (probably). ]
[ hey, never said that hugging still won't help!! this is why you should all smooch. ]
I wouldn't say automatically. I suppose strictly speaking, if everyone did the exact same things each week, more of you would mean more nova gathered... but there are different things you all do that causes your collected amount to fluctuate each week.
... They did say that removal didn't have to be seen as an execution. It was us that made it that way. If you remove something you just take it out of where it was before, right?
Gathering nova has helped to stabilize the pathway so that messages can get through. Maybe even an item or two, if you have anything you want delivered. No guarantees it'll remain intact, though.
Well, I wouldn't say there's any particular rhyme or reason. You can try anything--just don't ask us to deliver something you'd be sad to know didn't make it.
[ just, you know. conveniently anything that would count as a message will get wrecked along the way by mod decree. ]
Try sending some snacks and see how they are after the journey. That’s a pretty simple thing to do... and it won’t be the end of the world if it ends up a bit mangled.
Well, if you do want to try, feel free to pass it onto me or any other Leader. There's no guarantee when we'll cross over to check on the removed, but we can pass it onto whoever's likely to be there soon.

I couldn't say. As in honestly--I don't know what exactly Wolf's team is getting as rewards, just that they wouldn't be anything horribly important.

It's not?

So even though there's less of us, we're just gathering more nova automatically to compensate...?

[ fox smiles, a tad wry. ]
And the removed aren't exactly on break either.

but also squints at that final statement. she recalls someone mentioning something about them being ~elsewhere~ but?? ]
Yeah, about that, I thought they were lost to us somehow but now we're able to communicate with them?

Well, I guess this means they're gonna get a lot of junk from some of us until we can figure out what works.
