6. High-Stakes Callout System Rules
When using the Bot's callout system, you agree to the following rules and automated enforcement mechanisms:
- Acceptance Window: Defenders must accept or decline callouts within 24 hours using
/acceptcallout or /declinecallout, or they will automatically forfeit their position
- Resolution Window: Once accepted, both racers have 12 hours to resolve the race or the challenger automatically wins
- Adjacent-Only Challenges: You may only challenge the position directly above you (ladder climbing system)
- Defeat Cooldowns: After losing a race, you will receive an automatic 24-hour cooldown preventing you from challenging the same position again
- Auto-Resolution: The Bot automatically resolves expired callouts to prevent "ghost callouts" and ensure fair competition
- Cancellation Policy: Challengers may cancel pending callouts before acceptance; once accepted, cancellation is not permitted
- Fair Play: You agree to honor the results of races and not abuse the callout system through spam or bad-faith challenges
By using the callout system, you acknowledge that these automated enforcement mechanisms are designed to ensure fair competition and you accept their outcomes.
