Looks good. Only issue is that all of these games were played within the past 7 hours. Please respond with a game link showing that you've played it after 17:39 UTC on 28 October.

Title: NCP or WOF - Clover of battle
Some games: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23
[Variant: "FFA"]
[Rules: "DeadKingWalking, EnPassant, KOTH, CaptureTheKing, 3-check"]
[Time control: 2/5, 1/1, 3/2]
Even though its not needed
Fen4: Just kidding I'm not actually going to put the Fen4
Just gonna throw it out there that CTK and KOTH in the same game aren't really the best combo...

There are rules of posting NCP/WOF. This is so that players have time to carefully analyze a position playing with different players, before posting it to the forum. For example, it took me 53 games and 3 days (I’m not lying, counted on purpose) before I noticed a critical vulnerability in WOF-ↈ: example. At least the rule of 24 hours prevents some situations where the creating, playing and publicating are premature.
I think in this case it has to be CTK and KOTH because otherwise it would be impossible to get KOTH. It would be so hard to get total control of the center and hold it long enough to get your king in.

Exactly. Creating a position, playing a few games, then going directly to the forums to post is almost always premature. The 24-hour requirement ensures that creators have enough time to carefully reflect on any problems that they might not have seen initially. We also hope that this helps alleviate any pressure creators might feel to rush to post a variant.

Your variant is quite aesthetically pleasing. However, it has few merits aside from that as getting KOTH is pretty much impossible with vigilant players, and games will often consist of long shuffling. The only way to win is to have all 3 other players not notice you trying to get KOTH as they are all capable of stopping you. For all these reasons,
