20 posts held, back to 13 May 2022 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 1 June 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 7 August 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. Below Telegram’s rounding threshold, so these counts are exact.
364 reactions across 18 posts, in 31 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 18.7% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 19 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 364reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 13 May 2022 to 1 June 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
Please, take a glimpse of what we incubating according to napkin-road-mind-map (from previous post). Long story short it' is predictable champion loot if guild can manage risk/reward balance. Readiness status: - Core functionality is ready; - Risk/reward balance need to be tuned; - Social functions (champ hunter top and public completion announcer) need to be implemented.

A completely unofficial chatwars2 roadmap. It's waiting on a couple of cross department approvals to become a bit more official. Also I had a birthday this year, so all the issues from these new features are sort of a gifted challenge to future me. All comments and feedback are welcome, as usual. Let's *sigh* & oops* and ✍️ together.

🇬🇵 🐢 🐉 The state of castles meta: Many of you may have already noticed that the meta regularly converges toward one powerful and overcrowded castle? For some players, this is just cold calculation; for others, it's a guarantee of stock safety and nearly assured rewards at the end of the season. But beyond all this, there's also an important social aspect. Not everyone are ready to accept other castles rules and trad…

👾 Also one pal from chat asked me about.. Q: What really makes Golems attack and destroy castles. Just in lore case here is the answer: A: For three reasons - Golems have been embittered by humans since their oppression on Factorial Island as labor and more; - The half-abandoned cities have been deserted for a reason. Human Vices and Weaknesses have sapped the mental fortitude of their egregores, weakened their s…

⚗️ Also one pal from chat asked me about clarity potions recently. Just in case here is the answer: Oh, good thing you asked, because I was starting to forget. In a parallel universe with a more developed system of buffs and debuffs in cw. Clarity was supposed to be analogous to Dispel for debuffs, with some limitations so as not to completely nullify the efforts of the debuffing player. With the ability to speciali…

Это было классное первое апреля, ребятки! Полезных ископаемых нет, но вы держитесь! Таким транспарантом встретила тебя планета просившая о помощи. Населена роботами, подумал ты и долил целительного масла еле-живой железяке. В благодарность было получено... Существо напротив явно хотело торговать, но никак не могло объяснится. Зато почти смогло засунуть тебе в ухо говорящую-рыбу. Такого ты вытерпеть уже не смог и з…
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @TheCrystalBall. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank — 190,649 of 1,548,671entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Republished by
Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 7 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
