Top Survivor

“	"Top Survivors is a month-to-month contest held in Dragonhollow where each player strives to survive the longest in order to reach the top of the leaderboard."	”
 	—An excerpt from Top Survivors 	—An excerpt from Top Survivors
Top Survivor was a series of competitions on Dragonhollow and Halfast that awarded prizes to residents who survived the most consecutive days without dying. It was first created by Acey and debuted during the Fourth Era in the Summerlands, running through the ages until being taken over by Retro and later revived by HyperSilence on Halfast.
The contests were initially for fame and bragging rights, awarding little more than XP and some tokens, but over time the prizes became unique items unobtainable anywhere else and competition grew fierce, resulting in attempts to circumvent rules and take advantage of exploits in order to win. Most of the competitions lasted a month, but occasionally they lasted longer.
The magical mechanics behind Top Survivor were initially devised by Acey, then completely overhauled and redesigned by Retro and later Lilac.
Gimpley held the all-time record for days survived on Dragonhollow (728), while Jrod held the record on Halfast (1561). Nobody won more Top Survivor competitions than Sleekit, who achieved nine victories, while Bagger won the most on Dragonhollow at six.

=Behind the Scenes=
----
The following is out-of-universe information about real world Dragonhollow and real world Halfast.
Survivor time was measured in Minecraft days, but the duration of the contest usually lasted a real-world month, with statistics resetting on the first day of every month.
Top Survivor was made possible through a unique TopSurvivor plugin originally created by Acey. After Retro was promoted to server developer, he redesigned the entire plugin, integrating it with his prize plugin and afkTerminator to prevent players from using sophisticated tricks to circumvent AFK detection.
When HyperSilence brought back Top Survivor by popular demand on his Halfast server, he hired Lilac to design her own plugin loosely based on the Dragonhollow TopSurvivor.
