Which story moments make the team talk, without reading what they write?
Chat is one of the few signs that a scene moved people, and you can use it without ever reading a message. This entry shows how to compare the number of messages after a scene with the number before it, why quiet scenes are not failures, and how to keep the data anonymous.
Why this works
The number of messages is a sign that a scene moved people, and it carries no private words. Comparing talk after a scene with talk before it removes the effect of chatty groups, and a quiet scene is not a failed one.
When not to use it
Do not use it when chat is switched off or players talk elsewhere, for instance on a voice call. Then silence in the game means nothing. Also do not treat a quiet moment as bad if it is meant to be watched.
