Player Explanations

• KOL Deity

This player has the absolute best possible equipment and advantages. This represents the theoretical maximum.

• Villa

This player has worked steadfastly to obtain the best possible gear, excepting only gear priced in the low bugmeat range and higher. This player has ascended a number of times, probably including a hardcore and a hardcore oxy. This player has also made the choice to do such things as picking the appropriate class and zodiac sign, getting Hopped Up on Goofballs and getting their clan to shell out out for buffs. It can be a tough task, but any player in the game can do it, given enough diligence and perseverance.

• Hardcore

This player has worked very hard and has probably gone through several ascensions, but has not gone to quite the extremes that a Villa player has.

• Normal

This player probably hasn't ascended yet, but has made a decent effort.

• Slacker

This player, clearly, just goes with whatever can be picked up with minimal effort.

Category Explanations

• Custom Equipment

Only available to KOL Deity type players.

• Ultra Rares

Only available to KOL Deity type players.

• Mafia Prizes

Only available to KOL Deity type players.

• Maximum Equipment Value

The maximum value of a single piece of equipment. Villa type players receive a relatively generous allowance of 10,000,000 meat, with the allowance for eash subsequent player type being reduced by a factor of 10. This means, for example, that Villa players may equip three Mr. Accessorys while Slackers may not equip any of the Jewelrymaking accessories as they are currently too expensive.

• Plexiglass Equipment

Only available to Villa types and above because of the great difficulty attendant to obtaining plexiglass.

• Non Buff Skills

These are self-only skills. As it will typically take a number of ascensions to accumulate these, this category is only available to Villa types and above.

• Clan Buffs

It's a rare player who can get clan buffs on command. Consequently, this category is only available to Villa types and above.

• Class Equipment

Class-Specific Equipment will benefit you only if you have selected a particular class to play. Consequently, this category is only available to Villa types and above.

• Zodiac Sign Bonus

• Moon Bonus

• Hopped Up on Goofballs
