Q: What is this game?
A: This game is about climbing the ladders in order to get to the last ladder and have a chance to promote and become an asshole. You have two upgrade buttons to press, multi and bias, that will increase your speed, and two situational buttons, Buy Autopromote and Throw all Vinegar, to help you promote automatically to the next ladder and remove obstacles on your way up.
Q: What is multi?
A: Basically, it multiplies your current rank to give you your powergain. Costs power, resets all your power, points and bias on acquisition.
Q: What is bias?
A: Bias adds your multi_count to your powergain. Costs points, resets all the extra points on acquisition.
Q: Why can't I buy autopromote?
A: Because either you have already bought it
OR
it was awarded for free with [FAUTO] ladder modifier.
OR
it can not be purchased because of [NAUTO] ladder modifier
Q: Why can't I throw vinegar?
A: Vinegar can only be thrown at the ranker that is currently in the top position of your current ladder, if they're past the ladder's points for promotion threshold but have not yet promoted.
Q: Why some of the rankers look darkened and frozen (don't have any gains)?
A: Those rankers have already promoted to the next ladder and left their ghost (corpse) behind.
Q: Who/what is zombie?
A: Zombies are inactive players that rest at [+00 x01] upgrades.
Q: Why some upgrades look green/yellow/red?
A: If upgrade is red that means you have to wait more than 5 minutes for it to become available for you. Yellow means less than 5 minutes of wait, green means available for purchase.
Q: Who/what is Chad?
A: Chad is everything.
Jokes aside, it comes from a misspell that just stuck and grew up into meme entity.
Q: Is grapes_amount good for X ladder?
A: the easiest RoT for beginners is to average 2000 grapes per ladder progressed because this value is the maximum amount that can be earned by finishing in top-3 of the ladder. If you can average 2k/ladder - you did a good job. If you average more - consider yourself a Farmer.
Q: How long does round last?
A: It highly depends on the round modifier, overall ranker activity, ladder modifiers, time of day, etc., but the most common Default ([DEF]) round can be completed in 3-4 days.
Q: Should I ask questions in game chat if I still have any?
A: You absolutely SHOULD. Don't be a stranger.
