On Points, Grading, and Fluctuation
We have recently received several questions regarding our method of tracking your progress through the Ministry of Immigration, Naturalisation and Citizenship Joint Citizenship test, and we would like to address the confusion.
Given that all success is relative, and that we can only allow the very brightest of Britons to become proud citizens of both Britains, many of our testing procedures are graded in an hierarchical fashion. In these cases, the players who have the highest rated submissions receive bonus points towards their grade, with the top submissions receiving a largest bonus. Given this state of affairs, should your submission be surpassed by one of your peers, your bonus will drop to a lower level, and s/he will claim the greater prize. This will, as has been recognised, cause some fluctuation in your points total, and should drive you to seek new ways to impress our Board of Judgement, that you might reclaim your rightful place at the top of our estimations.
