General
What's new this year (2018)?
NetHack 1.3d, the first ever version of NetHack is again part of the tournament. It is playable on the hardfought.org public servers.
xNetHack and SpliceHack are new variants that are featured for the first time in the tournament.
UnNetHack has a lot of achievements. Essentially killing a unique monster will earn an achievement and killing every unique of certain classes (e.g. riders or quest leaders) will earn you an additional achievement.
The clan trophy for log(points) has been dropped, as it was too easily abused.
How do I play?
You play your games on one of the participating servers. You can use your existing accounts if you like, or create a new one. Junethack then captures those games, and checks if you are eligible for trophies.
I'm not a good player
Junethack is informally known as "the tournament for players who suck at NetHack".
Consider joining a clan as all clan trophies are designed such that even a new player of NetHack is never detrimental to the clan and might even be able to contribute towards the clan score.
When does the tournament start and end?
The tournament starts at June 1st 00:00 UTC and ends on June 30th right before midnight UTC.
Registration opens usually on Monday before June 1st.
All dates in Junethack are in UTC.
What games are eligible for the tournament?
All games of the NetHack and variants played on the participating [servers] during June are eligible.
A game needs to have started and ended in June to be eligible.
My login from last year doesn't work
Junethack starts each year with a clean setup. You need to re-register your login every year.
Achievements / Trophies
Medusa kills
Only one kill per game counts towards the "Medusa kill" clan trophy
Most variant/trophy or ascended variant/role/race/alignment/gender combinations
If two clan members both get the same sets of trophies in the same variants, the trophies only count once towards the clan trophies.
But as a clan member can at any time leave and join a different clan, it's not necessarily redundant to have several clan members claiming the same trophies.
Clans
How do I join a clan?
You need to be invited by a clan admin. You see clan invitations at the bottom of your administration page after you login.
The clan admin is listed on the Junethack clan page.
