I don't see any inconsistency at all. From what i understand, let's suppose that you have 18 test-tubes and you are in the "zombies" faction. Now you want to change faction, You are moved to the "immunes" faction and your test-tubes are also moved to the "immunes" faction's account. Now the "immunes" faction has 18 additional test-tubes. However, your test-tubes are now reset to 0. You have to grind them all back in order to get all your rewards.

Yes but, will it count if imgur has not been used? What if I used imgbb?
