We have "exile" in quotes because on this leaderboard, we're tracking all days played outside the regular game — whether it be Exile Island, Redemption Island, Ghost Island, temporary exile, or Edge of Extinction. Each format is a bit different from the others, and it's not really fair to lump them all together like this, but who really wants a list of just Exile Island stays? So the "type" reflects the format: EI = Exile Island; EoE = Edge of Extinction; and RI = Redemption Island.
This is not an exhaustive list. We dropped all totals of 4 days or below, because you have to stop somewhere. But good news, Aras now makes the career cut when his 4 Exile and 4 Redemption days get added together. Yay!
