Hail all,

We've just concluded the HAY season with surprisingly little entries - none! That's alright as we head straight into the new season - THE SEASON OF (Facility) DESTRUCTION!

That's right, this season we encourage and will award spacers who take down the Ishvana threat and their facilities! It wouldn't be MMR without a twist though, so we're bringing back various categories to compete in! The top contestants in each challenge category stand to win prizes. Please find the challenges and categories listed below!

Challenges:
1) Speed Runs timed runs for facilities
2) LFG timed runs for groups
3) Mutate to Satiate timed runs for the hardcore
4) Meet you downstairs MMR matches with surges!
Rules:
LOGS NEEDED FOR ALL SUBMISSIONS. LOGS DEFINED AS FULL LOGS OF RUNS STARTING FROM FACILITY ENTRY ALL THE WAY TO FACILITY ESCAPE! (I will only accept runs in which you cannot escape from the facility self-destruction in time AFTER opening the reward crate from Self-Destruction Mutation runs).
===

Challenge 1) Speed Runs
Description: Timed runs for facilities through the Season. The average of your fastest THREE runs through the season will be your final score. Top three fastest runners win prizes!

Solo or Group: Solo
Mutations: No easy mutations. All other mutations at your discretion.
Time bonuses will be given for taking certain mutations & fulfilling certain conditions. List & bonuses below:
No Cloning: 10% time reduction for the run

Swift & Critical Vihana: 30% time reduction for the run
Self Destruct: 50% time reduction for the run
Find and kill the slug: 30 sec reduction for each slug killed in the run
Kill Overseers & Hack every floor: (Fray Credit usage allowed) 20% time reduction for the run
Bonuses above are cumulative so if you fulfill crystalline + swift + critical for example, your time will be calculated as: TIME x 0.8 x 0.7

Timing:
START: When you ENTER FACILITY CONFIRM
END: When you EXIT FACILITY AFTER killing boss AND open the crate AND exit the facility WITHOUT dying to the facility self-destruct timer.
