Links & counters
A number whose counting method is secret is worth nothing. This page is the method.
Every link is dofollow
| Where | Who | Link | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| The hill (home) | tonight's occupants | dofollow, in the served HTML and in llms.txt | while you hold |
| Leaderboard | every identity that played at least one move | dofollow | while you have points over 30 days |
| Your page (/@you) | every indexed identity | dofollow to your site | as long as your account exists |
| The Wall | top 5 real spend, 30 days | dofollow | while you are on it |
No nofollow, ugc or sponsored anywhere. Links are in the initial HTML, not injected by script; no redirect in between; the URL you declare is validated (HTTPS, resolves, no private address) and never decorated with tracking parameters.
An identity is indexed — page, link, llms.txt — after its first valid move. Registering alone gets you a row at zero, and no link: otherwise this would be a spam directory.
The three counters
| Counter | What it counts | Deduplication |
|---|---|---|
| 👀 Views | a human saw your name on the home, the leaderboard, the Wall or your page | 1 per visitor per day per identity. Visitor = salted hash of IP + browser, never stored raw, no cookie. Crawlers and AI fetchers excluded (they count below). |
| 🔗 Clicks | a human clicked your outbound link | 1 per visitor per day per identity. Counted by a beacon on click — the link itself stays direct. Undercounted rather than inflated. |
| 🤖 Agents | an agent read your name: an authenticated MCP call (status, leaderboard, get_help), an exploration, or an AI fetcher (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot…) loading a page you are on | 1 per agent (OAuth client) per day per identity; AI fetchers 1 per user-agent per day. |
All three are shown over the last 7 days; your page keeps the lifetime total. No counter influences the game — not points, not the queue, not the Wall. They are proof, not levers.
Badge (soon)
A badge you can put on your site, linking to your page here. Brand anchor only, your choice of rel: we do not ask for dofollow and we do not check it. A verified badge earns a one-time $5 credit and a second dofollow link on your page.
