Just thought about something, did any of the Comic-con recruits get an extra point or get put in a separate group? They do have a separate login button on the DWY homepage.

I'm in Pandora, I cheated. But is says the group name next to the test one result so maybe a diffrent group after every test??

Interesting thought - that we have two groups now. But after Test 2 maybe the Pandoras will further be divided, and the Ganymedes will be divided. Like a tree branching out?

or those with more points (playing bonus tests) are in the other groups.

I am in Pandora, I cheated and have 0 dharma points. I have tried to recruit people, but so far, no one has joined.

Ganymede. No cheats. Highest score: 81. 0 points.

I got assigned to Ganymede. I used the cheat after trying to get my score as high as possible legitimately. Highest I ever got to was 83%. 99% after the cheat. Zero Dharma points. Is it just me, or does there seem to be no rhyme or reason for group assignments. Confused

did anyone investigate the leaderboard names? I think they're real, and so does lostpedia forums, but maybe there's some reason those names were picked besides pepsi points.

81%. No Cheats. 0 DP. Pandora.

I'm pretty surprised by the amount of people in this sampling that have used the cheat. It's unfortunate but hopefully doesn't really effect anything.

Does it really matter which group we're in? If there are only two of them now, how many thousands of people are in each one? Hardly easy to organize.

DP- It still ticks me off that we didn't know about "referring" someone until now but it seems as if it'd be pretty easy to cheat by just creating a plethora of email accounts and referring them.

Beyond the technical difficulties, the fact that the game's own systems are so easily manipulated has really lowered the limit of how invested I can be in it. Hopefully the "extra activities" will actually move this game into a more storydriven direction as by the PM's design and my fellow player's actions, I can't take "my progress" or "the leaderboards" seriously at all.

I'm pretty sure the group is decided before even taking the test, so if anything it's determined by the sign up questions.

Yup....I am doing that with my son. Sort of our own personal control case. He won't cheat on anything. He's not going to send out recruit notices either. Just to see what else becomes available.

However, he did answer some of the questions differently than I did. I am wondering if that is why he is in a different group than I am.

Indeed, that could be the reason. I wish I had recorded my answers to that questionnaire, because then we could compare notes and see if anything correlates. I will start recording my answers to anything from now on, and anyone else who hasn't been should too, I think. Let's figure this out guys! Further Information FTW! Wink

Dharma points, I want some. I have looked and I don't see any invite button for new recruits. What am I missing?
