299K XP becomes 298K XP

Hi.

Yesterday, I had 299K XP points, and now I see I have 298K (298.543) XP points.
Anyone, any idea if some Achievement Trophy was cancelled/changed? In a particular game or perhaps the BGA Achievements (Veteran, etc.)?
And did anyone notice such a thing happening to them?

Thanks in advance.

Didn't you just lost a top X in any game?

No. I don't understand your question.
When people win a certain Top ELO Trophy in a game, they keep that trophy even after they exit that particular Top, in that particular game.

As far as I know top X trophies are not lost if you fall down in the rankings (and if you raise again, you don't get more XP, even if they're now worth more XP).

Trophies are cancelled if a game goes back to alpha, or is taken down (it has happened a few times), or if you're sanctioned, or if a game's rankings are disabled (because cheating tools are widely available).

Sanctioned as in cheating? Or as in usual warnings such as -10, -1 or -3% karma?

I think something happened to a certain trophy (either in a certain game or the general BGA trophies, such as Veteran, Popular, etc.)
Or perhaps something changed in the site's Mathematics.
My total is 298.543... which is weird.
It showed 299k just after I won the 50 Wins Trophy for Viticulture, 2 or 3 days ago.
An answer from someone who knows exactly what happened would be appreciated.

I've seen this happen before.
Some games give a lot more XP for the same achievements other games give less for. Sometimes this changes, and suddenly your trophy is worth less. Nothing to do about it.

This does seem like a valid explanation... Thanks.
I thought that trophies, when won, stay at that XP value forever.
I wonder which trophy changed, though.
Anyway, misfortunate... :cry:
