Passing Time!

January 15th - February 20th

Overview

Passing Time! is a speed ascension competition with a goal of keeping things interesting during KoL's least interesting time of the year, and to give people an idea of how Standard will look after a year of IOTMs rotates out. It's going to consist of leaderboards in Standard and Hardcore Standard categories. There will be rewards for all participants but the best prizes will go to the fastest ascenders.

Rules

  • You will submit session logs (parsed or unparsed) from playing in KoLMafia that correspond to a complete Standard run within the aforementioned dates.
  • Only one entry per player per category will be judged, but any number of entries can be submitted!
  • There are 4 competitive categories: Standard, HC Standard, Little League Standard, and Little League HC Standard.
  • Standard and HC Standard are “anything goes” Standard runs, exactly the same as KoL’s internal leaderboards.
  • Little League runs are Standard and HC Standard runs reserved for players who, according to their snapshot, have half or less of the IOTMs (and IOTYs) that are currently available for Standard use (13 or less, not counting 2022).
  • There may be completely arbitrary additional rewards upon conclusion of the contest - most improved, most attempts, things along those lines.  
  • Each player is eligible to win a prize from both Standard and HC Standard, but only one grand prize - if the same person wins both the Standard and HC Standard category, the person placing 2nd in the HC Standard category will receive the second grand prize.

All entrants, regardless of placing, will receive a prize, and the prizes in the above table will likely be supplemented. There will also be a 2,000,000 meat reward for every logged run to offset some of the opportunity costs; expect it k-mailed within a day or so of adding your entry to the sheet.
