sorry about that. slip of the pinky onto the "enter" key.

I didn't play for a few days and my standing/points with DA brotherhood went down.

I thought that feature was eliminated a few months ago.

I did I miss something or misunderstand how this works??

Thanks

Well, the higher your points are, the faster it goes down. Even if just for a few days.

But you won't go below 10 so you should keep your good standing with the faction. But Ben readjusted how fast the highest standings lose points every day to give other folks a chance to get to top standing.

okay, I get it now.
Thanks

Yes, the system was adjusted recently to cause increase the political decay rate for people with really high standings and for the current leader in each faction. Those changes were to make it harder to hold onto the lead position once you get it. And, it seems to be working, as there has been a lot more turnover in those spots.

The reason the system exists at all is to make it possible for newer detectives to become competitive for those leader positions. Otherwise, you'd be trying to catch up with Kay (11 months old) and jstkdn (10 months old) who would have factional standing in the thousands by now.

As an added bonus, the system makes it more reasonable for somebody who wants to change factions to do so, since natural decay will do much of the work, over time.
