Chapter Fourteen Reopens with the Points Reversed

Chapter fourteen of the task platform reopened, and players had planned to budget their time according to each task's difficulty. Players found that simple tasks meant to award 100 points showed 1,000 or 2,000, while genuinely difficult tasks showed only 100. The mismatch turned a choice about task difficulty into guesswork about scoring.

Chapter fourteen of the task platform reopened, and players had planned to budget their time according to each task's difficulty. Points helped them choose what to do first, but the reopened page made that order unreliable.

Players found that simple tasks meant to award 100 points showed 1,000 or 2,000, while genuinely difficult tasks showed only 100. They disagreed about what to tackle first: some feared missing the high scores, while others did not want to benefit from an obvious error. The official team reassured players while pressing the platform provider for a fix. Sorting it out took several days.

The mismatch turned a choice about task difficulty into guesswork about scoring. Players decided to record completed tasks and displayed scores, then schedule the remaining challenges once the rules settled. The official team still needed the provider to explain how points from the affected period would be handled.
