Rules of Phenomenon

For 3 to 9 players

Players register to become prophets. Prophets perform actions to become The Phenomenon: the last living prophet. Once the game starts, anyone that is not a prophet can buy tickets of the prophet they think will win. Anyone owning tickets of the last living prophet wins and can claim their share of the tokens in the pool.

At the start of the game, one prophet is randomly selected to be The Chosen One. The Chosen One has divine powers and will never fail a miracle or smite attempt. Other prophets may randomly be selected as High Priests (see below).

No one knows who the Chosen One is, not even the Chosen One. Players must deduce this through game play. **Warning - this beta version has a known cheat that can be exploited by savvy blockchain users. Use at your own risk**

When it is a prophet's turn they can do one of three actions: Perform a Miracle, Attempt to Smite, and Accuse of Blasphemy

The last player to sign up to play initiates the game play logic on the Smart Contract.

The Chosen One will always succeed at performing a miracle. Other players have a 75% chance of success and the odds are improved based on how many followers they have (accolites + High Priests) compared to the other living prophets. However, if they fail their miracle, they die. A successful miracle will free a jailed prophet.
Odds of Success = 75% + (ticketShare / 10)

A successful smite eliminates the target opponent from the game. The Chosen One will always succeed at smiting an opponent. Other players have a baseline 10% chance of success. Chances of success go up based on the relative amount of followers a prophet has (accolites + High Priests) compared to the other living prophets. A failed Smite results in the prophet going to jail, or, if the prophet is already in jail, that prophet is executed and eliminated.
Odds of Success = 10% + (ticketShare / 2)

A successful accusal has 2 possible outcomes. If the target opponent is free, then they are placed in jail. If the target opponent is already in jail, then they are executed and eliminated from the game. The Chosen One has no advantage with this action. Players start with a 10% chance of success and chances of success go up based on the % of followers a prophet has (accolites + High Priests) compared to the other living prophets. Failing an accusation results in the accuser going to jail. The opponent is freed from jail if they are in jail and the accusal fails.
Odds of Success = 10% + ticketShare

At the start of the game, some prophets may randomly be chosed to be High Priests. These players do not perform actions and cannot win the game on their own, however if they are a High Priest of the last remaining prophet then they win as well. Being a High Priest improves the odds of a prophet successfully performing an action. If the prophet that the High Priest is supporting dies then the High Priest is also eliminated. High Priests may change who they support at any time as long as they have not been eliminated. In the current version, living prophets can also change their allegiance up until only 2 players remain. A prophet that is alive at the end of the game but is not allegiant to themself is not eligible to claim winnings.

Jailed prophets are at risk of execution. A prophet can be put in jail: if they fail an accusation, if they fail a smite, or if an opponent succeeds in accusing them of blasphemy. When in jail, if an opponent succeeds in accusing them of blasphemy then the jailed prophet is executed and eliminated. Jailed prophets cannot accuse of blasphemy. If a jailed prophet attempts to smite an opponent and fails, they are executed and eliminated.

Any wallet not registered as a prophet can become an accolite of one of the living prophets. Accolites can buy tickets of a Prophet on a bonding curve. Buying tickets of a prophet improves that prophet's ability to perform actions. An accolite can buy the tickets of multiple prophets. If the prophet an accolite is following dies then the those tickets become worthless. If an accolite is following the winning prophet at the end of the game then they also win and can claim their share of the tokens at the end of the game.

When only one prophet remains, the game is over. Anyone holding tickets of the last remaining prophet can claim their share of the tokens in the pot. The game must be reset before tokens are claimable. Ticket value is deteremined by the total amount of tokens deposited minus tokens withdrawn from sale of TicketsToValhalla divided by the number of tickets held by winners. **There is a 5% fee taken by the protocol on all funds** Reset the game with the desired number of players for the next round.

Tickets can be claimed once the next game opens for registration. You need to remember the game number from which you want to claim your tickets. The current game number is displayed above the Prophets table. Enter the game number from the game you won to claim your tickets.
The value of a winning ticket = total tokens deposited / number of winning tickets.

If after 3 minutes a player has not taken their turn, ANYONE may force them to perform a miracle by clicking the Force Miracle button.

This is a beta version of Phenomenon. We hope to release a full featured version in the future but want to get feedback on game mechanics first. We need help building a better front end, getting an audit, and numerous other tasks that require funds to complete. We pledge that a majority (>50%) of the Game Fees will go to further developing the game. If further development isn't feasible then at least 75% of the funds will be donated to DegenDAO or similar Farcaster / Degen interest.
