I have a member that just beat Otto Pennig 3 times. I watched the totals go up for the item collection, but he still isn't in the list for the beat Otto x times goal. How can one goal be counted but not the other?

...and since the item drops 100% of the time why do we need two separate goals anyway? It should be impossible to collect 24 of his item without beating him at least 10 times, right?

Why didn't GREE lock down syndicates, again?! Is it true that if I accept a member (so that I can see their stats) then they get any prize we obtain during their, possibly short, stay? Do they get previous prizes as well? ...even if they already have the prize from their other syndicate?
