A typical Season of ScumLeague duration depends on upcoming significant content and game updates. Its start and conclusion will be provided accordingly in Sudden Termination known as “sudden death format.

IMPORTANT changes with SL2.1 update

1- New layer of back-end reporting system and framework .

2- New Player Reputation system exclusive to ScumLeague. New in game !Report command .

Player reputation system is now implemented and automatically calculated.

For more information and how-to please Visit Official ScumLeague Discord.

STREAM SNIPING use case.

One of the most difficult gray areas and time consuming in the past was distinguishing organic game-play and stream sniping which is considered purely as Toxic behavior, Using data analytics with the use of !Report command is simply explained as capturing specific information highlighting players location / position / kills and interactions. If consistent information triggered by users with the same ID’s matches the same players involved in multiple occasions stream sniping case is flagged and highlighted and escalated for human verification and confirmation.

Visit Official ScumLeague Discord. for he Syntax and how to use the report commands.

REPUTATION system

Reputation system is simply explained and calculated as players using the !Report Command Vs players on the receiving end of the report commands.

Players sending !reports resulting in positive confirmation cases will receive +1Rep points in the system building up their credibility and -1 Rep losing credibility. players receiving -3 Rep, the system will flag them as not credible reports and will not be highlighted to the admins for investigation. Use the !Report commands VERY cautiously and carefully when you are confident from your reports. hitting -3 rep will disregard all your future reports and you will be flagged as “Not credible” player by the system.

REPORTING USERS FOR MISCONDUCT, USING GAME BREAKING BUGS OR 3RD PARTY APPLICATIONS

Similar to use-case of stream sniping and the reputation system, with different syntax of the !report command, players reported for misconduct or breaking the league T&C will be red flagged after receiving certain threshold from multiple ID’s , The steam64 of the user in question will be temporally suspended for further investigation. The credibility of the reports are calculated based on the credibility score of the users issuing them.

For more information and details of the report commands syntax and how to use please visit the Official ScumLeague Discord.

OVERALL SCUM LEAGUE WINNING CONDITIONS

Scum League Season 2 is designed to be challenging yet allows multiple playstyles to take the lead. Encouraging organic creative gameplay and testing your survival capabilities in a dynamic environment.

It does not matter if you are an aggressive raider or a peaceful farmer. There is no straightforward way to win the League. You will need all your acquired skills and experience, but most importantly good planning, long term strategic thinking, and social skills.

Survivors Resilience will come in handy, helping you survive longer and endure the hardships you are about to face.

The league set-up gives everyone a chance to prove that they are the ultimate survivors. One day you could lose everything, yet you will still have a chance until the last moment to hit the jackpot, recover and become victorious.

A fair piece of advice,

We encourage everyone participating in the League to focus on their organic gameplay styles. Focusing only on narrow objectives might lead you to disappointment. Your grand objective should not be on the prize alone. Outlasting everyone and enjoying your time in a fair-play yet challenging environment to earn your place amongst the last-standing surviving prisoners on the island will also be recognized .

Now pay attention to the winning conditions below and read them carefully:

The entire duration of Season 2 is the journey following scum 0.8 update up to scum 0.9 update. Sudden termination (sudden death) should be expected at any time (similar to season 1). Endurance is a big part of the challenge. We also aim to give late joiners and on/off gameplay styles a chance to come back and have a winning shot at the League.

Unlike Season 1, Season 2 is made of two interconnected Phases that might appear convoluted at first impression, but it is pretty straightforward.

Phase 1 : Ongoing

Phase 1 is all about GOLD. Phase 1 is much longer than Phase 2, and your objectives are straightforward:

Prepare a robust and sustainable economy – Buy as much Gold as possible .

Plan your liquidity (Cash vs Gold) carefully. ( Trader Commission rates will apply and will increase towards the end of the league ) Example : Selling Gold for Cash.

After the Transition phase is over (14th Feb) : Create and prepare sustainable sources of income Farming/Fishing or store RARE valuables in your base and sell them when better opportunities are available at the traders in phase2. Or prepare your Raiding arsenal for more of an aggressive approach or a mix of all. The decision is yours. (Read important Hits and Tips)

Phase 1 trader prices and settings are Vanilla settings – Phase 2 will have drastic changes.

Due to popular requests and as a tradition, Puppet Eyes are more valuable in Phase 2

Due to many requests to bring back our beloved Puppet Eyes, they are back but with totally different purpose this time. They are not part of the winning conditions, but they will contribute to your success:

During Phase 1, make sure to collect as many PE’s ( Puppet Eyes ) as you can, they will cheap to sell in PHASE 1 BUT THEY WILL BRING YOUR FORTUNE IN PHASE 2 and will be treated as an expensive item to sell at the traders.

Important note: Season 2 overall winners are Individuals and not squads. Squad limits remain at max four players. Squad members will still compete with one another to a certain extent. So again, choose your squad members carefully. Make sure they don’t turn on you when the time comes. Craft your strategy carefully as time progresses!

As the League progresses, Phase 2 will also be announced as the final stage of the League. 

Phase 2 : Not yet started

Phase 2 of the League is much shorter and harder. Phase 2 will end in a Sudden Termination format known as Sudden Death (similar to season 1).

During Phase 2 : Specific crops and rare fish will become a rare commodity to sell to the Traders with 10X to 20x the selling price.

  • Certain Items will be completely removed from Trader to Buy.
  • Certain current rare spawn items you prepared during phase1 will be sold to the trader at 10x price.
  • You will be able to sell BCU Items to the traders at a generous price to the Traders.
  • Trader cash availability will be random and cycle across the 3 Traders differently on a daily/weekly basis.
  • A winning condition (SECRET ITEM X)  will appear at the Traders with very limited availability on each server restart.

What will be (SECRET ITEM X)  ?

It will be a very expensive item to buy, and it is extremely rare to find in the world.

Winning Conditions:

  • The League will end in a sudden termination format.
  • At the end of season 2 – Top 30 Players will be shortlisted for the highest GOLD Bars in their bank accounts.

Tips & Hints

  • Both phases of the league are interconnected. Short- and long-term planning and strategic thinking are key in winning the League.
  • Read the rules and settings and winning conditions carefully, ask our mods on the League discord if you have any questions or clarifications.
  • There are many hints mentioned above, example:  Stocking puppet eyes in phase one, will help you succeed in phase 2.
  • Don’t underestimate fishing and farming power. Try to predict what crops will have the highest value to sell during phase 2 make Variety stockpiles if you are not sure.  Protect your loot in phase one, majority of items will not be available to buy from the traders in phase 2 and many of your items prepared in phase 1 could become a rare and expensive selling items in phase 2 that brings you fortune.
  • Remember, you still need cash to buy the Expensive Secret item X when it becomes available at the traders. Item X will be limited and scattered across traders. Selling gold for cash will cost you a large trader commission.

Good Luck Prisoners
