So, as soon as I saw the whole Gringott's Points system, all my happy spreadsheet-loving impulses started twitching and I sat down to chart and track and calculate... everything, basically. I'm an Excel nerd.
Anyway, so while I was going through all this, a question occurred to me. It might not even ever apply to me, but my spreadsheets are just dying to know.
For the points incentives that have a varying number of possible points based on how much you do the activity, are those points cumulative? There's basically no non-confusing way to phrase that question, so here's an example of what I mean:
The following incentives are posted in the 'How to Earn Points at ELSEWHERE' thread:
- Completing one institution thread at a place you don't work (+3 points)
- Completing two institution threads at a place you don't work (+6 points)
So, say I've completed one institution thread. Yay me! That's three points. Then, by the end of this sentence, say I've completed another, because I'm apparently super-efficient, and this is sort of a run-on sentence. That's two institution threads I've completed, but I've already gotten three points for one of them.
My question is... Do I get an additional six points for completing two threads, making a total of nine, or is it three points for each of them, making a total of six for the two threads?
