āļø 1. Pick a throne
There are three seats on the podium: the Crown (#1), NĀ°2 and NĀ°3. Each seat displays its holder's X handle, avatar, tagline, link ā and the amount they paid for the privilege.
š³ 2. Pay exactly $1 more
The price to steal any seat is always the current holder's total + $1. No overbidding, no whale-blocking, no auctions. An empty seat costs $10 on the main board, $3 on the daily board. Payment goes through Stripe ā no account needed.
While you're checking out, the seat is locked for you for 5 minutes (everyone else sees it "under attack"). Too slow? The lock expires, nothing is charged, and the battlefield moves on.
š 3. The board is always sorted by money
Here's the twist: after every purchase, the podium re-sorts by amount. If you pay more than the king ā even by buying the NĀ°2 seat ā you become the king. When amounts are tied, the earlier occupant stays on top.
š©ø 4. Defend it or watch it go
Anyone can take your throne for $1 more, at any time, forever. When they do, you get an email with a one-click revenge link. The old #3 gets pushed off the podium into The Fallen ā the table nobody wants to be in.
š The fine print (short version)
- All sales are final. You're buying a moment of glory, not a permanent seat. Terms of Sale.
- One exception: if someone snatches the seat in the seconds before your payment lands, we refund you in full, automatically.
- Handles, taglines and avatars go through automated moderation before payment. Keep it spicy, not toxic.
- Handles are self-reported bragging rights ā we don't verify X accounts.
