Holy Point-Jumping, Batman!
You may have noticed some HUGE jumps on the Leaderboard today. But don’t worry, there’s no monkey business, nobody’s cheating.
We had a kink with our petitions, including our recent Zimbabwe action, that was keeping you all from getting your 500 points per signature. Well we just ironed out the kink, and the result was a flood of points for schools that have been working hard on getting those petition signatures over the last few months.
We also realized, when we were compiling our list of “individual actions” that you all can do to qualify for the top 20 individual students who will be considered for the Africa trip, that you weren’t getting any points for recruiting new members – when you “invite” people through your campus page, you get 10 points, but you get nothing if the people you invite actually sign up. Well that doesn’t make sense at all! We want you to invite people who are actually going to sign up, of course, so you ought to get points for when they do.
This is something we should have corrected at the start of the season but somehow it fell through the cracks. So we fixed it today, and awarded you all 100 points per recruit like you should have been getting all along. For some of you who have been working hard at recruiting since September, this added up to a lot of points!
So it’s all legit. If you have questions, feel free to contact us or post a comment here on this blog entry and we’ll get back to ya.
Meanwhile, we’re working hard to get you more info about how to qualify for the Africa trip. It’s taking longer than expected because we’re trying to close every possible loophole to prevent cheating, and we want to set up some transparency so you know how you’re doing.
Keep checking the blog for updates!
