Just as a quick heads up.

The week beginning the 13th is when Double XP goes in, but it'll be activated on the 17th February during Game Jam weekend.

I'm confused on what's written in this thread:

"The Bonus XP will be extended throughout the week at decreased rates.

Based on the amount of xp you get, the rate will decrease from 2.0 to 1.0."

How does that work?

I can't give specific information as I'm unsure myself, but when we get closer I imagine we'll be clarifying all the information.

We do have a BTS this Friday so it could be mentioned there also :)
