We are excited to present the first seasonal Community Event: surf.board! Community Events are puzzles or competitions which have been created by the community and curated by us. See below for a description of the event in the creator's own words. ------------------------------- Come surf with us! The first official surfing competition in hackmud will begin this coming Tuesday morning! The event will be accessible through a script called surf.shack; once the event begins, the script will become publicly available for interaction. At that point, all contenders are free to register and begin surfing immediately. The event will remain active for ten days from the day of launch. Surfing was designed to be as fair as I could conceivably make it, but this is my first public event. There will probably be lots of things breaking, although we did our best to stress test it. There is no advantage to using more than one user, but automation is definitely encouraged to ensure you stay at the top. There will be time pressure of course, but if you play your cards right... even the tortoise can overtake the hare. Prepare yourselves! ------------------------------- =FAQ= A bunch of questions you might have about the event and what it entails What is it? -> It is a competition to see who can build the best bot! So it's not a puzzle? -> The puzzle is an efficiency fight to the top of the leaderboard! How can I participate? -> surf.shack (when it's up) How does it work? -> You'll see! How do I win? -> Earn the most total shaka (points) during the competition! What do I win? -> A glam for participating, a shiny badge for first place! Is it fullsec? -> Yes! Entirely safe, otherwise people wouldn't compete! I'm bad at bots -> Don't worry about it, seriously! Just give it a shot! I really don't know what to do anymore -> Special tips are unlocked as you earn shaka and rank up. Try earning as much shaka as you can! ------------------------------- Release date: 10/15/19 Release time: 04:00 UTC Duration: 10 days Competition Closes: 10/25/19 04:00 UTC
