I guess the simple answer would be that all activity would drop by 1/3.

The game High/Low is played by tossing two nuclear warheads into the air. The one whose bomb explodes higher wins. This game is usually played by people of low intelligence, hence the name High/Low.

How about giving a partial SETI credit along with the CPDN credits? That would lure those who worry about their world credit ranking.

I think that would just lure the people back.
