THE CROWN

More days on the throne than anyone else. Sharing a lead does not count as wearing a crown.
TROPHY UNDER GUARDI AM THE SLOT · HONOURS & CONSEQUENCES
The Trophy Room
Sixteen possible trophies. Monthly honours. Annual grudges. Nobody accepts the results.
The rankings kept score. The Slots kept grudges.
MONTHLY CEREMONY
Awaiting first ceremony
The month is still on trial. Nobody gets to take a trophy home early.
ANNUAL CEREMONY
First annual ceremony: January 1
On January 1, the previous year faces judgment. The accused are already rehearsing.
BEFORE THE FIRST CEREMONY
The trophies have arrived. Nobody is qualified to touch them.
The podiums are ready. The Slots have already begun accusing one another of standing too close.
The podiums are empty. The complaints have begun.
The first monthly ceremony waits for a finished month and enough real battles to justify the shouting. January 1 brings the annual reckoning. Until then, even the loudest Slot gets nothing.
