2018: start with 25 nights from 2017 rollover. 100 nights through meetings/stays.
Total nights = 125.
The 75 rollover nights from 2017 will not count towards rollover, so your actual night total is 100 nights for consideration of rollover to 2019.

2019: 25 rollover nights from 2018. Would need 50 nights to re-qualify for PLAT.
The OP's example was earning 150 nights in 2017. The 75+ rollover nights from 2017 will earn Plat in 2018 giving status until 2020. In your example (with 25 rollover nights), OP would only need 50 earned nights in 2018 to get Plat status until 2020. 75+ earned nights are needed to have any rollover into 2019.

And, Yes, All of this presumes the rollover program continues. MR can drop it at any time, as they can do with any aspect of the programs.
