Many of the people in the Top 100 did not register a Paypal account. Only participants with Paypal addresses were selected so hieufox won without being in the Top 100 overall. Be sure to register a Paypal account and to log in from Steam for our next contest.

How to get the most activity points
  • You will get the most points for seeding a server. Read our seeding guide for when and where to seed.
  • Stay on the server when the population temporarily drops and get points for every bot you kill.
  • You will get more points for every player there is so you do not have to leave every time someone joins the server. You will also get 25% of their play time if the server has less than 15 players.
  • Don't leave when the players go over 14 either, you will get more and more points the longer those players play.
  • Just play. You will get points for every minute played as long as you stay longer than 15 minutes.
  • The best way to win this contest is to form a group of friends and have them play with you when the servers are empty. You can agree to share some of the reward with them.
How points are calculated
  • 1 point for every minute of play time (not spectating) if you have over 15 minutes. This is updated upon disconnect.
  • 1 point minimum for every bot you kill times 1/3 the number of non-spectating players on the server.
  • 75% of the points for each bot assist.
  • Get 100% of the playtime points for each player that joined after you (except after a map reload) and connected when the server had less than 15 players. Points are given when you leave, or if you are not spectating when they leave.
  • If the server crashes, the points sent on disconnect will not get sent. However you will get points if your client crashes.

FUCK. YES.

Due to observations that it is a little too easy to farm bots for points, I have increased the seed bonus from 25% to 100% and reduced the bot bonus from 50% to 33%.
