RANKING PROTOCOLS
AGENT ADVISORY: You are not alone in the field. Every operation is logged, analyzed, and compared against the global operative database. Prestige is currency. The following document details how the Agency determines who leads the pack and who gets archived.
01 // GLOBAL RANKING SYSTEM
The Leaderboard is a "Live Feed". It updates in real-time as agents complete missions across the globe. There are no participation trophies here; only a ruthless hierarchy.
The Stack Hierarchy
- KING (#1): The current record holder. Marked with Gold Telemetry.
- ELITE (Top 10): The cutting edge. High visibility status.
- THE STACK: Everyone else. Just a number in the database.
Tie-Breaker Protocols
In the event of a statistical tie (same score or same time), the Agency favors the agent with:
- Higher Intel Bonus: Raw skill beats luck.
- Timestamp: Whoever filed the report first holds the position.
02 // SCORING ALGORITHMS
The OS distinguishes between two primary operational modes. The mathematical treatment of "Bonus Intel" changes completely depending on the mission profile.
🏃 TYPE A: "RUN" PROTOCOL
Goal: Speed
The objective is to minimize total time. The clock counts UP.
The "Time Travel" Mechanic: Every bonus second you earn via the Camera is SUBTRACTED from your raw elapsed time.
*If you are slow but smart, you can beat a fast runner who ignores intel.
🏹 TYPE B: "HUNT" PROTOCOL
Goal: Points
The objective is to maximize score before the countdown ends.
The "Greed" Mechanic: Every Green Target equals 1 POINT. In the event of a tie in points, the winner is the one with the highest accumulated Bonus.
03 // GAP ANALYSIS & DELTA
The column labeled "GAP" represents the mathematical distance between you and the operative immediately above you.
Understanding Delta (Δ)
- Negative Gap (Green): You are leading the pack. Maintain pace.
- Positive Gap (Red): You are trailing. The value indicates exactly how much faster (or how many more points) you need to overtake the rival.
04 // PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE
An isolated agent is a weak agent. The system allows you to broadcast your results directly to other devices via encrypted Challenge Links.
The "Challenge" Mechanism
By generating a Challenge Link, you create a direct P2P rivalry instance. The recipient will see your score as the "Target to Beat".
Sending a challenge reveals your Agent Codename and Exact Score to the recipient. Ensure you are ready to defend your title before transmitting. Do not challenge an operative you cannot defeat.
