Howcome at midnight every night a certain detective becomes the mother inquisitor of the dies Arcanum Brotherhood? Even when other people have higher approval rates than them

Is it possible that one must be subscribed to be the head of the faction? (Just checked, Coppertop is Mother inquisitor 38, Mrs Hudson has 39.) Anyone know for certain?

I think it is a matter on when you check. Copper probably had at the turn of midnight the most points. However when you check hours later, particulary someone who played (while she did not) would have more points.

I had 41 or 42 last night at midnight, that's when the score is taken. I'm not sure if you have to be subscribed, but that may be the case. Ben?

I don't think it has to do with subscription. Remember that the higher your standings, the more it drops. So Coppertop's points could have dropped more when the server resets at midnight.

True too Wayne. What we have to keep in mind that it is auto-generated based on an automated tally. I don't think Ben is in to hand scoring. :)

You mean he doesn't go through everyone's profile at midnight and manually calculate what everyone's scores should be????

Lol.

Yes Faery, he does that right after he calculates high score, agency fame, and writes all of the mysteries for tomorrow again. :)

Busy guy, that Ben.

It has nothing to do with subscription, I was head of OS when I wasnt subscribed. But it is midnight server time (acctually about three min after) so it could be you checked it at your midnight and you are in diffrent time zone?
