Community Service is the Fall 2015 special challenge path, introduced on August 15, 2015. This path adds variant rules and restrictions to an ascension run. Its description in The Bureau of Reincarnation reads "The ultimate in real-life time savings. All Council Quests are replaced with single button-clicks!"
Divergences
- The council is out:
- The door to the Council of Loathing building is locked, and a notice is posted about how they got kicked off the council for not doing their mandatory community service, which is apparently a thing. There's a list of community service opportunities posted as well..
- Instead you have to perform 11 acts of Community Service
- Each act takes 60 adventures.
- Most acts you can speed up by boosting a specific stat
- Once 11 acts are complete, you have to donate your body to science.
- You can pull only 5 items per day.
- Areas that the Council instructs you to visit are generally impossible to reach without reinstating the Council--that is, by ascending into a non-Community Service path.
- Level 3: The Typical Tavern
- Level 4: The Bat Hole
- Level 5: The interior of Cobb's Knob. It is possible to get a Knob Goblin encryption key in run, but you will not receive the corresponding map.
- Level 6: Copse of the Deep Fat Friars and Pandamonium. (No Steel Organ)
- Level 7: The Cyrpt
- Level 8: Mt. McLargeHuge
- Level 9: You can not reach The Orc Chasm, get to The Highlands, or venture to The Valley of Rof L'm Fao.
- Level 10: You can not plant The Beanstalk
- Level 11: You can not receive your father's MacGuffin diary, so no more visits to The Hidden City or The Palindome. You will not find The Arid, Extra-Dry Desert or discover A Small Pyramid.
- Level 12: You can not start the war, so you will only get the antebellum The Mysterious Island of Mystery.
- The only exceptions are The Distant Woods or areas that have alternate unlock methods such as Whitey's Grove.

Council text
- First time visiting:
- The door to the Council of Loathing building is locked, and a notice is posted about how they got kicked off the council for not doing their mandatory community service, which is apparently a thing. There's a list of community service opportunities posted as well.
Look at the list

Strategy
| Task | Reduced by | Reward | Effects |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coil Wire | nothing | a ten-percent bonus |
|
| Donate Blood | HP - every 30 bonus HP saves 1 turn. (Buffed HP - (Buffed Muscle + 3))/30 | blood-drive sticker |
|
| Feed The Children (But Not Too Much) | Muscle - every 30 bonus muscle saves 1 turn. (Buffed - Base)/30 | bag of grain |
|
| Build Playground Mazes | Mysticality - every 30 bonus mysticality saves 1 turn. (Buffed - Base)/30 | pocket maze |
|
| Feed Conspirators | Moxie- every 30 bonus moxie saves 1 turn. (Buffed - Base)/30 | shady shades |
|
| Breed More Collies | Familiar Weight - every 5 lbs saves 1 turn | squeaky toy rose |
|
| Reduce Gazelle Population | Melee Damage - every +50% saves 1 turn, every +50 damage saves 1 turn. (floored separately) | weird gazelle steak |
|
| Make Sausage | Spell Damage - every +50% saves 1 turn, every +50 damage saves 1 turn. (floored separately) | sausage without a cause |
|
| Be a Living Statue | Non-Combat Frequency - every 5% noncombat saves 3 turns (not affected by the 25% softcap) | silver face paint |
|
| Make Margaritas | Item and Booze Drops - every +30% item% saves 1 turn, every +15% booze drop saves 1 turn. (floored separately) | emergency margarita |
|
| Clean Steam Tunnels | Hot Resistance - every point of hot resistance saves 1 turn | vintage smart drink |
|
- Lots of the rewards provide a one-adventure bonus to a stat. So you can use them to do another Community Service.
- Coil Wire - can't be sped up, so you can do it early in the run. The reward will make percentage buffs save more turns on the stat tests.
- Donate Blood - look into Maximizing Your HP. If you are a muscle class or have a passive skill (Reptilian Fortitude, Song of Starch, Abs of Tin et al.) or item (pixel star, limp broccoli etc.) giving more than 1 HP per muscle point, boosting Muscle will also help.
- Feed The Children (But Not Too Much) - look into Maximizing Your Muscle.
- Build Playground Mazes - look into Maximizing Your Mysticality.
- Feed Conspirators - look into Maximizing Your Moxie
- Breed More Collies - 5 familiar level turns into 1 fewer adventures, so look into Maximizing Your Familiar Weight
- Reduce Gazelle Population - look into Maximizing Your Weapon Damage
- Make Sausage - look into Maximizing Your Spell Damage
- Be a Living Statue - 5% less Combat Frequency turns into 3 fewer adventures, so look into Combat Frequency. The 25% cap does not apply for this test.
- Throwing Some Shade and A Rose by Any Other Material used together will save 24 turns from this test.
- Make Margaritas - look into Maximizing Your Item Drops. Booze drops count double.
- Clean Steam Tunnels - 1 point hot resistance turns into 1 fewer adventures, so look into Maximizing Your Elemental Resistance
- There might be a clever way of doing ordering the tasks (A Rose by Any Other Material only helps with Be a Living Statue, so maybe do that one last?) Note that the Rose saves more turns in the Statue task than the silver face paint does in the Border Collies task, so always do Border Collies before Statue.
- Of the eleven rewards, nine confer effects that assist with other tasks, which also last one adventure only. These are recommended only after you've adventured at the Barrel full of barrels enough for one day with plenty of food and booze as a result. The other two (a ten-percent bonus and blood-drive sticker) can be used immediately.
