Congrats,maladylis! The "cheat" is definitely to press your keyboard "i" at question 10. An answer will blink then.... Cool

Short lived or not.....major congrats!!!

(Sheeesh, I don't think I even *know* 30 people that would be remotely interested in this game.......except for you all. I have something pathetic like 40 points, and I am stoked about that. Heh.)

Granting 10 points per friend and/or fake account signed up without any sort of cap on the number of points you can get via that method that sounds like (whether it was intended or not) they want people to game the system and cheat to get more points. Admittedly, they do seem to be encouraging cheating on the tests, but that feels like more of a desired in-game cheat versus the email signup thing.

Personally, I don't mind "cheating" on the tests (especially because it feels like, story-wise, someone on the inside has hacked the tests so that we can get better results), but have to draw the line at creating fake email accounts for points. That just does not feel like the right thing to do--like it is not in the spirit of the game--but it does irk me that others are doing so and there's not much I can do about it within the parameters of the game.

Tossing a Ditto to BrianEnigma's post.

The only thing that really bothers is the fact that they are basing so much on the points and not on the testing.

Has anyone noticed that someone listed "Hawaii" as their country on the leaderboard? What could that mean?

Ok Here's apparently a new wrinkle that nobody's mentioned. I just registered took the eligibility tests and all three of the other tests. Each test result had it's own group assignment next. I didn't cheat, mostly because I hadn't read the boards close yet and didn't know how
Test 1 which I got a 0 on my assignment was ganymedede
Knowledge test My assignment was Brontes (all of seen from other folks are pandora and ganymede
Test 3 in which I also did miserably.also ganymede
has noone else seen brontes
