So both of these screen shot were taken within 30 seconds of each other with no game actions in between. One of them is from the Deep Sea Life simulation (the one with the fish picture) and the other is from the main simulation. Note that they are showing different RP scores. I would have expected both of them to have been the same.
I should also note that my RP score on the main simulation was high enough yesterday that it said that I was scientist level 5. So at some point, my RP score actually went down. So something really weird seems to be happening with the RP scores.

Today, my RP score in the main simulation (without the fish icon) was in fact lower than it was yesterday. And this was after I had completed the Deep Sea Life simulation.
Unless I am interpreting this text completely wrong, then my RP score should go up when I complete an event, if nothing else because completing an event earns you event badges, which are explicitly mentioned as being something that earns you RP.

Now I am seeing the following:
Different parts of the reality engine are failing to agree on what my RP level is.
I should note that when I first saw this, I tried exiting the reality engine. But it persisted after I went back into the reality engine.
To be fair, my level did sync up after I restarted the game:

And now my RP and level have gone down on the leaderboard, but the RP have gone up on my profile:

This has been added to our bug tracking system as the issue CELL-982. As we resolve that issue, updates will be posted back here.
hollow mango
Just some more data points:
I checked my RP score in the main simulation, then went into the James Webb simulation and looked at it there, and then went back to the main simulation. Just doing that caused my RP score to drop.
hollow mango
After that last message, I closed the game. I just now went back into the game. The only thing that I have done is I have clicked once on the nanobots, and now my RP score is back to what it was earlier today:
I just got an event badge in the James Webb event, and my score has gone back down:

Seems like a bug
It’s a RP score issue
It’s in its first beta
So it’s doubtful to not have bugs in a first beta of an feature
Possibly fixed in the next beta or 2
hollow mango
Well, I did post it in #1010249890414202880 because it seemed like a bug to me.
I'm glad you think it is a bug as well.
weary phoenix
Yep.
I had 0 RP one day, then 500k the next day
Might be from the new Tea Event.

Is this issue ocurring still ocurring on the latest beta release?

It happened to me once, but then I exited the game and came back in and the RP value was restored. Another observation that I have today is that I finished the Money event, and earned 3 badges, but there was no change in the RP amount. Might be a bug, but I do not know the algorithm for earning RPs so not sure ...
This is with 19_16, the latest beta release, I am on the Android platform

Is this issue ocurring still ocurring on the latest beta release?
Just now, I started up C2S, and the first thing that I did was I went into the neural network stats and I got this screen shot:
I then went into the money simulator, and got this screen shot:
Note that the main simulation and the money simulation are in synch with each other right now, but the main simulation is not in synch with itself. (Note the number of RP on the left side of the picture vs the number of RP on the right.) So at start up, they seem to be synched, which wasn't always the case in the past. However, I do seem to have memories of seeing a rank of Innovator 7 in the main sim while seeing Innovator 6 in the money sim within the last 24 hours. The two numbers would sometimes drift apart if I did various activities, which is something that I did not do just now, so let me see if I can get them to drift apart.
This is on 19_16 by the way.

I just went through a session, and what I observed is that the main simulation always had two different numbers: one RP score on the leader board, and one RP score from my profile. And those numbers were always different, and difference between them changed over the session. The RP score that I could see in my profile in the exploration was always synced to one or the other of the numbers in the main simulation, but the number that it would sync to changed over the session. I have about 8 or so screen shot that show this progression, would you like me to spam the channel with them? (Also, did all of this make sense?)

Hey, @hollow mango - It sounds like there are two issues, but I'd like to check.
hollow mango
@lyric lichen Here goes, I am about to post screen shots from a session earlier today. During this session, I was periodically checking in on the RP score in either the main simulation and then I would immediately go check in on the other one. So I will be posting screen shot in pairs in chronological order. First, is the pair from when I started the session:
As you can see, the score from the leader board does is less than the score from the profile. From what you said above this is fine, and also the RP in the exploration profile is the same as the main simulation profile. So everything seems to be starting off okay.
This next set was taken a little while later. I can't remember what I had done after the last set and before this set, but the main simulation profile RP and exploration profile RP are still synched together:
Furthermore, you can see that the main sim profile RP has incremented, which makes sense. But it is worth noting that the leader board RP has in fact decreased. To me, this seems odd since n general, I would expect RP to be a monotonic function over time. And I would expect this to be true in all locations where it can be observed, even if they are not all expected to be in synch with each other. Please correct me if I am wrong on this.
Here is the third pair of screen shots:
I think that I might have taken the exploration profile screen shot before the one for the main sim which is why they are swapped in this case. Here we can see that the main simulation profile RP has in fact increased again. However, the leader board RP has decreased yet again. On top of that the exploration profile RP is now equal to the leader board RP instead of the main sim profile RP. This means that it has gone down as well!
And here is the fourth and final screen shot pair:
Here we can see that the exploration profile RP is still equal to the leader board RP, but at least this time they have increased. The main sim profile RP did increase as well.
So two of the times, the exploration profile RP was synched to the main sim profile RP, and the other two times, it was synched to the leader board RP. And that last number sometimes went down over time.
Let me know if you want me to do another session where I record all of my actions between screen shots or something like that.

Thank you, @hollow mango ! I think that this is confirming and refining the bug. As before, the LB panel may lag a little behind the Profile screen, both in the number and the level/tier. (though maybe we can run an extra update call when you open your profile to sync those up...)
However, the RP should never go down, and the profile shouldn't be switching its info as you shift between simulations. We're adding this info to CELL-980 and I think we're good for now. We'll come back if we need more help reproducing the issue on our end.

@hollow mango we may have fixed this in a later build. What version of the game were you on when you saw this bug?

If you don't mind that would be very helpful
thank you!!

If you don't mind that would be very helpful
I think I may have just replicated it in 19_27. First pair of screen shots taken at start of session:
Second pair, near end of session after doing stuff:
The RP on the leader board went down this as well.
hollow mango
Thank you, <@477323874866954300> ! I think that this is confirming and refining ...
In case you are interested, I do have an idea of how one might reliably replicate this. If this does work, I have no idea about why.
My theory is this: if I check the main sim first, then check the exploration profile, then the exploration profile will synch to the main sim profile. But, if after doing stuff, I check the exploration first, then check the main sim, then the exploration profile RP will sync to the leader board RP. That is certainly what I did just now, and I think I did that for the screen shots from the other day as well.
That said, I do have only six data points, so I wouldn't say that my data is statistically significant. So it might be a garbage pattern. But maybe it will provide some insight as well. Again, if this does work, then I have no idea as to why.
And thank you very much to both of you for all of your good work. (My apologies for not mentioning your names. The server blocks me if I do that.)

I lost RP after prestige increase. With prestige 4, I had reached 205k (I don't have a print, but in the announcement with my name i had 201k), Today, after raising prestige to 5 it went to 200k

Are you guys still encountering this issue ?

This happens in the 19_54 beta version as well ... I have been quitting the game and starting the game again to resolve it.

The second screenshot did after a reboot
hollow mango
I just did a session, and I indeed did find the bug again. These two are from when I started. The image on the left is from when I looked at the leader board in the main simulation immediately after logging in. Immediately after that, I went into the tea simulation and checked my stats, and took the right picture. At that time, the stats were in sync.
Then I did some stuff in the tea simulation, and took the next two screen shots. The first was in the tea simulation again. Then I switched back to the main simulation.
Not only did the tea simulation stats go backwards after doing stuff, but the main sim leader board number also went backwards as well.
hollow mango
I was able to confirm the existence of this bug in 19_58.
hollow mango
I can confirm that this is still happening in 19_70.
Those screen shots are posted in the order in which they were taken, and you can see the RP score on the leader board dropped after going to the tea event.
hollow mango
This still seems to be happening in 20.00 as well:
These are posted in the order they were taken with the first two being in the main simulation and the third one in the tea simulation.
paper willow
I can confirm that it also still happens to me too. I've noticed it happening several times over the past weeks, my RP would randomly shift about 5k, so when I sometimes check currently, my RP it is either 1,131k or 1,126k. I have no idea what it depends on
paper willow
Both screens were taken in the span of a few seconds, it just happened to randomly shift again
marsh quarry
You gained rp, that's not abnormal
paper willow
I've observed this happening for over a month already. It shifts by 5k to 6k every once in a while for no reason. I'd check everyday and on average I make maybe a few hundred RP per day
