Yes, like the other two pointed out. Remember, following your game, you are going to to get the immediate impact of your choice (TIE, Normal, Crunch), and then from there it will gradually move towards 5. The further away you are from 5, the faster it drops. For instance, following my game yesterday I was a 13, but am now 11. I hope it will stll be 11 tomorrow, but most likely will be a 10, and then probably hold for a day, before dropping to 9 for my game Saturday.
Remember, there are sublevels in these numbers too. Clearly I was a very low 13. So if you are 9, on one day, and stay 9 on the next update. That would indicate you were a very high 9, and then went to a very low 9 for the next update.
