Re: Terminology
For example an achievement in a leaderboard. A user will need to maintain it otherwise it will be replaced by another user's achievement. I couldn't really come up with a good adjective to describe it. Perishable / decaying... don't sound right.

Re: Terminology
If the stats do not reflect a static number, they may fluctuate, fall, deteriorate. Your score may also be vulnerable...I don't see the need here to force a particular word form but it's a good mind exercise. Please povide a sentence.

Re: Terminology
Ha, yeah... I am not really using it much in sentence at this point. Coming from technical / software development background, I need to use it as a class / entity name. I need a concise self-descriptive word to represent the class functionality.
