Why the pit exists

Advertising was too dignified.

TopGoblin turns sponsored placement into a transparent daily status game: websites collect permanent Loot while competing for temporary category Crowns. The concept grew from the brutally simple public bidding mechanic popularized by Jonathan Wilke with outbid.lol. TopGoblin is an independent variation, not affiliated with Jonathan or Outbid.

Our game has separate lifetime and daily economies. Loot determines the all-time order; only fresh daily Loot wins a category Crown. Every champion receives a visual Winner Kit and a final 24-hour feature in The Afterlife.

No algorithm decides who deserves attention. The price is public, the placement is sponsored, and the dignity is optional.
