What is a T.I.M.?

Time Impressive Medals are special awards that the Agency can give anytime for special team work.

How many times can I repeat the tasks?

None. Tasks will not be repeated except if the Spanish Inquisition finds it suitable. However, after the 5 missions are completed, each person will be able to choose to make up to two individual tasks that have not been made yet by that person yet. The result of the evaluation of those tasks will be added to the personal and the group rankings. The cost of repeating those tasks will be 40 Gold Seconds per task, per person.

Sanctions

The Spanish Inquisition can deliver sanctions if they are necessary.
The result of the group evaluations may result in the delivery of a red card. Two red cards will lead to the expulsion from the game.
