A hostist is a master of battles.

A '[[BotBr] earns Hostist points by successfully operating either a Minor Battle (usually an '[l[http://battleofthebits.com/lyceum/View/OHC/[OHB]) or a Major Battle (e.g. Winter Chip) for other BotBrs to compete in. A BotBr's '[l[http://battleofthebits.com/lyceum/View/BotBr+Classes/[Class] will become Hostist when they have more Hostist points than any other point class upon '[[BotBr#Levels[levelling up]. A Hostist is represented with the following icon: '[icon[hostist]

'[#[Earning Points]
• Several points are awarded for hosting a '[l[http://battleofthebits.com/lyceum/View/OHB/[OHB] that received three (3) or more submissions.

The points awarded is calculated using the following: (entryCount * 5 + 1) 

'[#[Earning Boons]
'[_s]b'[/_s]1.75 + (BotBr '[[INF] * 10)'[_s]n'[/_s] per entry
5'[_s]n'[/_s] per battle view
Bonus Boons: entry_count * 7 * (host-influence / 10) after closing the battle

If you dont close an XHB yourself, the deposit is lost, as well as the hostist points! The BotBr who closes the battle gets the bonus boons though.
