steal time from others & be the best

steal time from others & be the best is a PvP sword-fighting game on Roblox developed by detourious, inspired by the "Stay Alive and Flex Your Time on Others" genre. Launched in February 2021, it is one of the older entries in the steal-time lineage, with over 67M visits and a 74.8% approval rating from 44-player servers.

The game shares the core steal-time mechanic - kill opponents to take their accumulated time, chase the highest total on the server - but layers in systems that reward long-term investment. One of the most notable details: disconnecting outside the safe zone costs 25% of your time, a harsh penalty that keeps sessions meaningful and discourages rage-quitting. Day-to-day play cycles between raiding opponents for time, building your kill-streak toward badge milestones, and managing your sword collection:

• ⚔️ PvP Combat - eliminate opponents outside the safe zone to steal their time and climb the server ranking
• 🏆 Kill Milestones - badge progression tracks kills at 1,000, 5,000, 10,000, 50,000, and 100,000 eliminations
• 💎 Capsule Collection - open capsules for random rare sword unlocks through a gacha-style system
• 💰 Sword Marketplace - buy and sell swords in the player-run trading economy to build wealth
• 🗺️ Clan System - join or create a clan, contribute to its collective ranking, and build a named legacy with your crew

The clan system is the standout differentiator from simpler steal-time games. Clans compete collectively, adding a team identity layer on top of individual leaderboard chasing. Combined with 17 gamepasses and 21 badges across five years of development, the game has more progression depth than most in the genre.

Among steal-time Roblox games, this entry sits between the simpler pick-up-and-play experience of Steal Time From Others and the season-structured format of Steal Time X.
