Will there be a big banner at the top of the homepage to let people know it's began?

Edit: That was a quick fix

Thanks for the banner. It was a timely reminder for an absent-minded player.

Is it just me, or are the starred categories not scoring the 100 FT points for getting over 500 points? I am speaking only about the main categories, not the special topics.

As far as I know, this bonus applies only once you're division 2 or higher. That's to prevent a player from endlessly switching between normal and hardcore to harvest points.

Oh, I wish I had known that. I wouldn't have wasted one of my gameplays on a double-starred category. I ended up doing worse on it than I'm sure I would have on one of the other categories.

You do get the GC advancement bonus for playing stars, so it's not a waste when it comes to the GC itself - it's only the FT point bonus that is withheld during division 1.

Every time a new GC starts, I tell myself to spare myself the hard work of playing every set. And every time, I still join in...
