== The Scoreboard ==
In the northern room of [[Any Port]], you will find a scoreboard. There are two more just like it in [[Lurleen]] and in [[Cyberspace]], and each will tell you the same thing: the top-ranking players in various areas of the game, in every category from the richest to the scariest.


Scenerio: You're sitting around Any Port, thumping the jukebox, listening to Care Dog's jokes, killing Veronica Moser, etc. But the common AP antics is not what we're focusing on here. We're focusing on what's in AP's northern room. That little room that's barely inhabited, with various knick-knacks like the slots and fortune telling machine. But the most unique of those items is the scoreboard.
Using the scoreboard is very simple. {{cmd|read board}} to see the current display, and {{cmd|press <x> on board}} to change the displayed category. You can also just {{cmd|press on board}} to see a list of all the categories... Or, you could look below!


So what the hell is the scoreboard and why should I care? Because it contains various rankings of HellMOO in different miscellaneous categories. These rankings are not related to stats or skills, but simply the other things worth bragging about. And speaking of bragging, if you make it onto the scoreboard, you'll be more than just some dude/chick the next time you type out that brag.
  The following buttons are available: age, asshole, breed, cash, contributor, crib, dick, discovery, fatality, fetish, fish, gay, hardcore, head, headxp, job, journal, kills, lawyer, pervert, pog, random, saint, scam, skill, stat, threat, tits, travel, trophy, and xp.


Now, enough with my stupid introduction. Let's move on to what this scoreboard actually DOES. By throwing down an "exam" at the scoreboard, you'll be presented with:
Not all of these are obvious. This handy table breaks the categories down, along with notes on how you might just end up on the big glowy board yourself.
 
  Obvious commands:
    press/set/push/click/touch <something> on electronic scoreboard
      Change the information currently being displayed.
    read/view electronic scoreboard
      Check out what is on the display.
 
Reading the scoreboard is exactly what it is. You read it, you see the ranking it's displaying. However, there are many rankings to gaze at and simply wish you could be a part of. And now onto the rankings. If you get a fun little idea and press "ass" on score, well, that's why you're here. There is no "ass" ranking. There ARE, however, these:
 
  The following buttons are available: age, cash, contributor, crib, fatality, fetish, fish, head, journal, kills, pervert, pog, random, skill, stat, threat, and xp.
 
Now as you go to busy yourself watching the colors float by lazily forming words, you'll probably wonder what a few of those words mean. Well, you're in luck, friend, because here's what you need to know about each of those rankings.

| Age || The oldest people in HellMOO. Age increases the more you die, so if you wish to see your name here, suicide one too many times.
| Age || The oldest people in HellMOO. Age increases passively with [[time]] (assuming you don't [[Rerolling|reroll]]) and actively by dying and de-mutating.
|-
| Asshole || This calculated off your karma, and is deliberately kept vague. See {{cmd|help karma}}.
|-
| Breed || The people who have made the most babies. <s>how is babby formed</s>
|-
| Cash || The richest people in HellMOO. Keep your nose to the grind and don't spend your money on dumb shit like solid gold toilets, and you'll end up here pretty easily.
|-
| Card || Those with the largest and priciest collection of [[Trading Cards]]. Shows a breakdown of total card value, the number in mint condition, the number signed, the number which are first edition, the number which are of admins/wizards, and the number which are holographic.
|-
| Contributor || This is a relic of a time when players could donate to HellMOO. Donating is no longer possible, so there are no rankings for this category.
|-
| Crib || The people who have the [[chill]]est cribs. See the linked article for more information.
|-
| Dick || The people with the biggest dick! Dick sized is influenced by age, [[fuck]] skill, [[fetish]] IP, and the presence of [[Fuck Machine]].
|-
| Discovery || Those who have discovered the most unique recipes. Unless there's a pwipe, you stand little chance of ending up here.
|-
| Fatality || People who've completed the most fatalities (see [[Fighting Styles]] for more). Idle forever in the orphanage with {{cmd|fight berserk}} on, fatality-ing any orphan that moves, and you'll eventually get here.
|-
| Fetish || This actually shows the most popular [[fetish]]es in HellMOO, rather than any player stats.
|-
| Fish || People who've caught the most unique kinds of [[fish]]. Load up with a rod, some bait, your trusty fishbucket and a sense of adventure. You'll need to fish some very exotic locations.
|-
| Gay || Those who never fuck another gender other than their own retain 100% gay-ness; if you deviate that number goes down.
|-
| Hardcore || Those who have amassed the most XP while playing in hardcore mode (i.e. with no clone). Go hardcore and level like a madman.
|-
| Head || Those who have the largest collection of heads in their noggin racks.  
|-
|-
| Cash || The richest people in HellMOO. Save up. A LOT. And you might find your name up here on this list.
| Headexp || Those who have the greatest total XP of all the heads in their collection combined. In other words, the same as the head ranking, except you can't just gank noobs to get there.
|-
|-
| Contributor || This is more like a list rather than a ranking. This particular button lists all of HellMOO's donators and how much they donated to keep the game up. If you want to add your name to this wall, open up your PayPal and send away.
| Job || Those who've completed the most jobs. Since jobs are time-locked with cooldowns, this mostly just takes time, persistence, and the ability to actually do all the [[jobs]].
|-
|-
| Crib || This is the list of people who have the chillest cribs. Or, in more literal terms, the people with the coolest looking apartments. Using "app here" in a room will give you its chill based on the items inside. A room with a lazer light show will definately beat the shit-filled streets of Freedom City.
| Journal || Those who've completed the most [[journals]]. There's tons of these, many of them ''hyper''-obscure and buried in corners of the gameworld that player and admin alike have forgotten. Type {{cmd|journal}} to see what you've already completed - and good luck!
|-
|-
| Fatality || This is the ranking of the people who've done the most flashy kills. Read more on [[Fighting Styles]] about how to do fatalities.
| Kills || Same as journals, but with unique kills instead. Find lots of obscure mobs and kill them. Has nothing to do with killing in PvP, despite the name.
|-
|-
| Fetish || This actually isn't a player ranking. It's a list of the game's most popular fetishes based on the total IP shared by every player in HellMOO.
| Lawyer || Those who've gotten the most criminals off the hook in Freedom City's courts. The process is the same as doing the Shyster [[job]]; sit in the courts and plead for anything that has stars.
|-
|-
| Fish || This is a ranking based on the player with the widest variety of caught fish. Want in? Buy a fishing rod, bait it with whatever, drop it in some water, and hook some fish.
| Pervert || Those with the greatest totals of [[fetish]] IP. There are a lot of secret fetishes that come from obscure interactions and randomly-spawned magazines. Explore!
|-
|-
| Head || This ranking is based on who has the best collection of heads. Want to start your own? First ask around for a lovely noggin rack. Then take the hideously empty thing, stick it in a safe place, and ravage the streets for corpses. When you find one, whack the head off, preserve it (again, ask around for help), and stick it on the rack.
| Pog || Those with the biggest stack of pogs, which can be either bought in the arcade or scavenged in various places.
|-
|-
| Journal || This ranking is based off of the players who have completed the most journals. Journals are the quests of HellMOO. Going into specific detail about them is strictly forbidden, but if you wish to see your standing on journals, then type "journals".
| Random || This just selects a random ranking from the list and displays it, if you've got nothing better to do.
|-
|-
| Kills || Instead of "journals", type "kills". Enough said.
| Saint || Based off your karma, which is kept deliberately vague. See {{cmd|help karma}}.
|-
|-
| Pervert || This one is caused by doing things that raise fetish points. Your total of all your fetish points equals your perverted IP, and that's what counts in this ranking. Check your fetish list ("sx") to see where your IP total is.
| Skill || Those with the highest skill totals. Be brainy and grind until you have lots of skills.
|-
|-
| Pog || Remember pogs? Those little cardboard circles with pictures of Batman on them that you collected as a kid? So do I. And those little bastards are back. This ranking is for the players who own pog stacks that happen to be a number of pogs high. How to get pogs? Ask around!
| Stat || Those who have the highest stats. The total caps at 1300, which is reached at 360,000 total XP, so just get 360k and you'll end up here.
|-
|-
| Random || This isn't a ranking, it just selects one for you and puts it on the screen. It's worth trying out if you're bored and have nothing else better to do. You go ahead and do that, kiddo.
| Threat || Those with the most threatstones. Threatstones measure how scary your character is, and are influenced by things like soaks, weapon and skill. Notoriously inaccurate; zombies end up here really easily because of their intrinsic soaks, and some odd things like exosuits have really inflated threatstone values.
|-
|-
| Skill || I have no idea how this is calculated, but it is influenced by your skills.
| Tits || The same as dick, except with boobs. Also, giving birth to a baby has a chance to increase boob size. Seems to cap at 200.
|-
|-
| Stat || I have no idea how this is calculated, but it is influenced by your stats.
| Travel || Those who've been to the most unique locations. See {{cmd|travels}}, and then get exploring. Just like journals, there's a ridiculous number of forgotten locales off the map. Has a glass ceiling; some zones could once be entered but are now inaccessible.
|-
|-
| Threat || This is the ranking of the strongest players. Depending on the armor you wear, the weapon you wield, and the skill in that weapon, you gain threatstones. This is the ranking of that total number.
| Trophy || Those with the largest collection of [[Trophy|trophies]]. Just like kills, except you need to coordinate gank squads and take down the big bosses.
|-
|-
| XP || This is the ranking of the people with the highest total in XP. Want in? Grind more.
| XP || The people with the highest total in XP. Get more XP to get on this board. Past 360k this gets really slow.

=== Brags ===
Some (but not all) of these listings will grant you a {{cmd|brag}} if you end up on them. If you don't have any notable rankings, you'll just say that you're "just some dude/chick" when you brag. If you've hit a ranking, however, you'll say something like:
 
    Sexhabe420 says, "I'm the #1 biggest dick in the world."
 
There are also brags that are independent of the scoreboard. These consist of skill/stat brags, granted for having the highest total in a given skill or stat out of any player in the game:
 
    Popeye says, "I'm the world champion of [[brawn]]."
 
Finally, there is a huge variety of brags available for completing difficult journals, assisting admins, and various other obscure achievements:
 
    DavidAllanCoe says, "I brought a ton of drugs to some guy in a trailer park."
 
==== Notes on Brags ====
* Brags have zero practical functionality. They're just what they sound like: bragging, 100% cosmetic.
** Brags are, however, regarded as an accomplishment by some of the playerbase. Building a "wall" of brags and "padding" your brags are terms you will sometimes hear in [[chatnet]]. Some players take this extremely seriously!
* Brags are refreshed at regular intervals, not constantly updated. If you're the world champion of [[Sneak]] at 10:00, but someone else buffs up and overtakes you at 12:00 for the brag refresh and then dips back below you at 13:00, the guy who overtook you will still have the world champion brag even though you're the actual world champ.
* Some brags, like those available for weapon skill, are subject to frequent change like in the above example and require micromanagement to retain. This is why you'll sometimes find people rending and drugging before they log off, and pointedly not playing the game to maintain their brag spots.
* People with [[Enigma]] cannot brag normally; they will only "smile knowingly" instead. You'll still see your brags in thought bubbles, but they'll be invisible to everyone else.
* [[Zombie_(mutation)|Zombies]] can't brag properly at all, since they get so many intrinsic advantages when fishing for brags.
* If you have multiple [[alts]], your brags are attached to one character, not all of them (even if the achievement that earned you the brag is not character-specific).

In the northern room of Any Port, you will find a scoreboard. There are two more just like it in Lurleen and in Cyberspace, and each will tell you the same thing: the top-ranking players in various areas of the game, in every category from the richest to the scariest.

Using the scoreboard is very simple. read board to see the current display, and press <x> on board to change the displayed category. You can also just press on board to see a list of all the categories... Or, you could look below!

 The following buttons are available: age, asshole, breed, cash, contributor, crib, dick, discovery, fatality, fetish, fish, gay, hardcore, head, headxp, job, journal, kills, lawyer, pervert, pog, random, saint, scam, skill, stat, threat, tits, travel, trophy, and xp.

Not all of these are obvious. This handy table breaks the categories down, along with notes on how you might just end up on the big glowy board yourself.

Brags

Some (but not all) of these listings will grant you a brag if you end up on them. If you don't have any notable rankings, you'll just say that you're "just some dude/chick" when you brag. If you've hit a ranking, however, you'll say something like:

   Sexhabe420 says, "I'm the #1 biggest dick in the world."

There are also brags that are independent of the scoreboard. These consist of skill/stat brags, granted for having the highest total in a given skill or stat out of any player in the game:

   Popeye says, "I'm the world champion of brawn."

Finally, there is a huge variety of brags available for completing difficult journals, assisting admins, and various other obscure achievements:

   DavidAllanCoe says, "I brought a ton of drugs to some guy in a trailer park."

Notes on Brags

  • Brags have zero practical functionality. They're just what they sound like: bragging, 100% cosmetic.
    • Brags are, however, regarded as an accomplishment by some of the playerbase. Building a "wall" of brags and "padding" your brags are terms you will sometimes hear in chatnet. Some players take this extremely seriously!
  • Brags are refreshed at regular intervals, not constantly updated. If you're the world champion of Sneak at 10:00, but someone else buffs up and overtakes you at 12:00 for the brag refresh and then dips back below you at 13:00, the guy who overtook you will still have the world champion brag even though you're the actual world champ.
  • Some brags, like those available for weapon skill, are subject to frequent change like in the above example and require micromanagement to retain. This is why you'll sometimes find people rending and drugging before they log off, and pointedly not playing the game to maintain their brag spots.
  • People with Enigma cannot brag normally; they will only "smile knowingly" instead. You'll still see your brags in thought bubbles, but they'll be invisible to everyone else.
  • Zombies can't brag properly at all, since they get so many intrinsic advantages when fishing for brags.
  • If you have multiple alts, your brags are attached to one character, not all of them (even if the achievement that earned you the brag is not character-specific).
