Frozen for Season 1 — Founders: the hash matches the rules this page shows.

Official Season Rules

Draft — the final text is published before the season starts. · sha256 71706ff5eff3db90…

Who can take part

You must be 18 or older, or of legal age where you live if that is higher, to buy a season pass, found a guild or receive a prize.

Residents of excluded countries cannot receive prizes. The list of excluded countries is published here before the season starts.

Staff accounts — the team, accounts excluded from analytics and accounts directly linked to them — score no points and receive no prizes.

A contest of skill

Prizes are decided by the published formula on this page — the guild board, the prize places and the split inside a guild. There is no lottery and no draw.

Points are earned only by playing raids; they cannot be bought. Taxes on a prize are the recipient's.

Review, disqualification and appeals

Before the payout the top guilds are reviewed: detectors, replays and the points journal. Voided points and disqualifications always name the rule they apply (P-, Z-, A- numbers below).

The provisional standings are published for 72 h of appeals; a guild leader appeals from the board (up to 1,000 characters), the review answers before the final standings.

Payout

Payout wallets are checked against sanctions lists before a payout; a payout stays held until the check passes.

The payout list is public: guild tag, nickname, share and amount; the transaction signatures are published as a separate list, not tied to nicknames.

What we keep

To protect the contest from multi-accounting we keep salted hashes of the network and the device of each session for 120 days (see the privacy page).

The season's points journal is append-only and published in weekly digests on the season page; the results become final 8 days after the season ends.

Appeals and disputes

Appeals of the provisional standings (a guild leader, within the 72 h window) and any other dispute about points, a prize or a disqualification: write to this address with your nickname and guild tag — support@spoils.gg

Season and time

§1
Season length: 100 days from the hex world launch, starting at midnight UTC; days are UTC days
§1
Weeks: 15 weeks of 7 days counted from the season start; the last one is shorter
§5.5
Roster lock: 21 days before the end: the prize roster is frozen
Z-6
Wallet deadline: 14 days before the end
§8.8
Re-confirmation: from 30 days before the end, for leaving, kicks, disbanding, leader transfer and payout address changes
P-4
Donations after a week: 24 h after the end of the week the resource was carried out (and after the season end)
§7.4
Review and payout: provisional standings 5 days after the end, 72 h of appeals, final standings and the payout 8 days after the end

Where points come from

P-1
Whose points: the guild you were in when the raid started; changing guild during the raid scores for nobody; below level 5 the points count for you only
P-2
Raid-found: loot counts only if the game created it in this raid and you found it; gear brought in adds nothing
P-3
Extract: 5 + depth (T2 5, T3 15, T4 30 after 3 min there) + a point per 100 of raid-found value (up to 25), at most 60; raids under 8 min score nothing; a free-kit raid ×0.5
P-4
Resource donations: 3 points per BP of your guild's own resource donated to its base; an uncontested event ×0.5 (contested: 200 PvP damage with a qualified rival guild)
P-4
Points per unit: by the resource's weight w: Oil, Water (w 1) 3 · Provisions, Scrap (w 2) 6 · Electronics (w 3) 9 · Gold (w 4) 12 · Serum (w 5) 15. w is a unit's BP, the same on every tier; a full load (Load 60) is 90 (Gold 84) points, before the uncontested ×0.5
P-5
Trophies: 50% of the donation points of a rival's resource, at most 100 per guild a day
P-6
Bosses: T2 30, T3 45, T4 60 × your damage share (at least 10%), only if you extract
P-7
PvP: T1 10, T2 10, T3 15, T4 20 for a ranked kill of another guild's raider, only if you extract; the victim's guild is 72 h+ old with 1,000 non-PvP points in 7 days; each victim counts once a day; at most 10 per killer and 10 per pair of guilds a day
P-8
Verified daily: +5 per verified member who plays a raid of 8+ min that day (the pass held at the raid start, 24 h in the guild), at most 20 per guild a day
P-9
Home server: donation and trophy points count only for resources carried out on your guild's home server; resources from any other server still build the base
P-10
Row limits: one row counts at most: an extract 60; bosses 240 (4 kills of an exit); PvP 200 (10 kills of an exit); a donation the event's value × 3 — a full event is T2 200, T3 300, T4 400 BP (oil 200 / 300 / 400 barrels), so up to 6,000; a trophy up to 3,000. A row above its cap counts zero and alerts the team
P-10
Pause: while the season points are paused (a public changelog line below) new rows are written but held for review; the hold is lifted publicly for the whole season at once
P-10
Rounding: fractional points of a row (an uncontested event, a boss damage share, trophies) are summed and rounded down once per row

Week, season and place

P-11
Account limit: 3,000 counted points per account a week; directly linked accounts share one limit and one verified bonus
P-12
PvP share: PvP from one victim guild ≤ 10% of that guild's own non-PvP week; a guild's PvP ≤ 25% of its non-PvP week (cut at the week close)
P-13
Weekly knee: a guild's week counts in full up to 8,000 points, above it at 30%
P-14
Season score: the sum of the guild's best 10 weeks of 15
P-15
Unique place: score, then who got there first, then donation points, then guild age, then guild id

Why a row counts zero

Every raid writes its rows, counted or not; a row that does not count carries one of these reasons.

Prizes

§7.3
Prize pool: Prize: 1st 50% · 2nd 30% · 3rd 20% of the season pool; inside a guild by each recipient's contribution, at most the bigger of 25% and an equal share per person
§7.3
NFT: gold · silver · bronze for every recipient of the prize places, whatever the share
§7.3
Cosmetics: places 4–10: season cosmetics for their recipients
Z-1
Season pass: bought before the season ends. Your prize share counts points from the day you get the pass.
Z-2
Roster: on the guild's prize roster at the end and on the roster lock snapshot (or kicked from it); leaving on your own gives the prize up
Z-3
Activity: 14+ days in the guild, level 10+, 10+ raids of 8+ min this season, 5 of them extracts
Z-5
No sanctions: no prize or ban sanction this season; not staff
Z-6
Payout address: a wallet or an iDos account linked by the wallet deadline — for the SPOILS share only; without one the NFT waits 30 days for a wallet
Z-7
One prize per person: of directly linked accounts only the one with the biggest contribution holds the prize
Z-9
Sister guilds: 15% of sessions in mixed squads, 3 handoff pairs or 1 shared wallet root: only the better placed guild keeps its prize
§6.1
Board: top 100; the public top 5 contributors of each guild; last week's top 3 wear an honour banner for 7 days (no SPOILS)

Guild base

The base gives storage, officers, cosmetic slots, the workshop and a daily ration — never points, multipliers, seats or combat power. Members: 20 seats and 4 recruit seats.
