I think if you count CN's first KOTL that got like a thousand posts, he's insanely close to me right now.

As it's well-recorded, I'm one of the original players. You can find my first action on the first page of the forum. Tomato and I had been well-acquainted before, having met in the Chess Variants forum section, back when it went under a different title. When I heard he was starting something, I thought that I might as well throw some support in for him. 

I didn't participate all that frequently in season 1. Season 2 was where things began to pick up. While I didn't play all that frequently, my influence over the games during that time was notable, considering all the indie games. 

Ever since the first revival of KOTL, I've always been here. Playing, modding, writing about it. It's just what I do now. One day, I'm probably going to look back on these forum games as fond relics of my childhood.

My story starts in about the late spring of 2020

I just had gotten my chromebook from school to do summer school, and i was bored.

I checked my c.c account, and browsed.

at the evening, i saw a certain forum in the off topic section. Kotl: The Flipside. I clicked, and saw Ht, Cn, and pin playing. After just flooding the forum, i was blocked. (don't worry pin, i forgive you.) after that, i learned my lesson, and saw another kotl; The og one. After clicking, i asked if i can play, and i joined my first game. After playing for some time, i wanted to host my own kotl. few days later, i made the op, got players, and started.

Sorry about that. It was a bit uncalled for on my part.

Once, when I was bored, I made KOTL. And now this happened.

Elevators

You're at the bottom of a rather large building with five floors. The only way to get up to the next floor is by going up in an elevator. Each elevator only goes up one floor, so you'll have to find a new one to go higher. Each floor will be different and there might be some secrets for you to find. One last thing. Each elevator has no walls, it's just a floor that goes upward. While you are riding up an elevator, you can easily be attacked from the floor above or below, or by someone else on the elevator. Be careful.

To win, you'll have to reach floor 5 and successfully grab the large golden net, which is located somewhere on the floor. 

The winner gets 100 points, while everyone else will get up to 45 points based on activity and up to 45 points based on skill. Killing another player will give you +10 points and dying will give you -10 points. 

LFA will not be in play this game, you may make IM actions but they can not involve an attack on another player.

You are in a large, open room that seems to have nothing in it. On the opposite side of the room you see an elevator.
