Be this play-to-earn?

Nay. Taxed be a game that happens to use a blockchain. WAGE accrues because Deckhands be staked, not because gold were deposited. Th' blockchain provides ownership, secondary tradin', an' exit liquidity — not a yield mechanism. Play th' game. Th' token be a side effect.

Do I need prior crypto knowledge?

Nay. Desktop buccaneers sign on with Hive Keychain, a browser extension. Mobile buccaneers link an existin' Hive account with email an' an 8-digit PIN. Yer active key be encrypted on our servers usin' yer PIN combined with a server-side secret — no raw key be stowed. If ye do not have a Hive account, th' enlistment flow explains how to create one at no cost.

Aye. QUIT be a real 50/50 determination. If th' server rolls against ye, 100% o' yer accrued WAGE be seized an' transferred to th' Crown's Privateer pool. There be no insurance, no reversal, an' no appeal process. Th' odds be stated clearly on every Quit confirmation screen. If th' possibility o' total loss be unacceptable, do not press QUIT.

What be th' difference between Taxed an' Wolf Game?

Th' mechanical structure be similar: producer NFTs, tribute-collector NFTs, claim-or-quit decisions, shared pool. Th' differences be material. Taxed runs on Hive — no Ethereum gas, no smart-contract risk, no Solidity. Th' Crown theme be a specific aesthetic commitment, not a skin. Th' economy uses fixed flat rates tunable by administration via th' settings panel, not contract-immutable constants. Th' public feed be native, not bolted on.

Be th' Crown theme legally permissible?

Aye. Taxed be parody. Every page renders a footer disclaimer: A game. Not financial advice. Not tax advice. Certainly not investment advice. No affiliation with any government agency, real or imagined. All flavor strings live in locale files. In th' event o' legal pressure, a full rebrand requires only a locale swap — th' underlyin' business logic contains no agency-specific references.

Aye. Every roll — mint class, mint grade, Gen 1 forfeiture, Quit seizure determination — stores a per-event seed on th' database row at th' time o' execution. Th' same seed will always produce th' same outcome. Replay tests in CI verify this property on each deploy. Th' seedin' scheme an' replay methodology be published at /docs/security.

What happens if a Hive node goes down during a transaction?

Outbound broadcasts — withdrawals, WAGE exports, Gen 1 issuance — be queued as HiveTransactionExecution rows before th' DB transaction commits. Node failover be handled by lib/hive_api_module.rb, which maintains a ranked list o' RPC endpoints an' retries with exponential backoff via Sidekiq. A failed broadcast does not debit th' buccaneer until th' delivery be confirmed. Node outages cause delay, not loss.

Where does th' gold go?

Th' ledger be append-only. Every strongbox movement — deposit, withdrawal, claim, seizure, forfeiture, market sale, export burn — be recorded as a WalletTransaction row with a source label. Th' operator collects a 10% fee on all bazaar trades an' a 5% burn on all WAGE exports. There be no hidden sinks. Th' full WalletTransaction table schema be documented at /docs/security.

ADMIRALTY CHRONICLE 15-B // WHAT THIS BE

NOTICE OF PROGRAM DISCLOSURE

Two roles. One shared pool. One decision that pays out — or doesn't.

SCROLL W-4 // DECKHAND

TH' DECKHAND

A Deckhand NFT, staked at th' Office, accrues WAGE hourly from th' global pool. 90% o' Gen 0 mints be Deckhands. Th' Deckhand decides when to Claim — or whether to Quit.

SCROLL 2848 // FIELD PRIVATEER

TH' PRIVATEER

A Privateer NFT, staked at Admiralty HQ, collects a proportional share o' every claim tribute an' quit seizure. 10% o' Gen 0 mints be Privateers. Grade determines share weight. Grade G8 earns approximately twice th' share o' a Grade G5.

SCHEDULE M // WAGE SUMMARY

TH' WAGE

WAGE be th' in-game soft currency. It accrues while ye be staked. It be split on Claim. It be lost or kept on Quit. It be exportable to a real Hive Engine token at 1,000 per transaction with a 5% burn fee.

Enlistment be voluntary. Compliance be recommended.

SCROLL 1040-W // CLAIM OR QUIT PROCEDURE

CLAIM OR QUIT — SELECT ONE

CLAIM

Th' Deckhand retains 80% o' all accrued WAGE. Th' remaining 20% be remitted to th' Crown's Privateer pool, distributed to all HQ-staked Privateers weighted by rank. Th' stake remains active. Th' clock resets.

CLAIM SETTLEMENT — SCROLL 1099-W

Accrued WAGE: 10,000
Owner receives: 8,000 WAGE (80%)
Crown Privateer pool: 2,000 WAGE (20%)

QUIT

Th' Deckhand vacates th' stake. A 50/50 determination be rendered by th' server. Clean escape returns 100% o' accrued WAGE to th' Deckhand's owner. Seizure transfers 100% o' accrued WAGE to th' Crown's Privateer pool. Th' stake be destroyed either way.

QUIT DETERMINATION — SCHEDULE Q

Accrued WAGE: 10,000
OUTCOME A (50%): 10,000 WAGE returned — QUIT CLEAN
OUTCOME B (50%): 10,000 WAGE seized — CROWN KEEPS ALL

SCHEDULE E // ENLISTMENT PROCEDURE

HOW TO FILE

ENLIST

Connect via Hive Keychain on desktop, or link an existin' Hive account usin' email an' an 8-digit PIN on mobile. Yer active key be encrypted with yer PIN an' a server-side secret. Neither half alone be sufficient.
STOW GOLD

Transfer HIVE from any linked account to @taxed. No memo required. Th' deposit watcher credits yer in-game balance within seconds. Deposits be irrevocable once processed.
MINT

Issue Scroll SS-4 to press-gang personnel fer 50 HIVE. Server-side RNG assigns yer NFT: 90% probability o' a Deckhand, 10% probability o' a Privateer at grade G5 through G8. All rolls be seeded an' logged fer audit.
STAKE

Deckhands be deployed to th' Office, where they accrue WAGE on th' hourly pool tick. Privateers be assigned to Admiralty HQ, where they receive a share o' every Claim tribute an' Quit seizure processed system-wide.
CHOOSE

Once a staked Deckhand accrues a minimum o' 2,000 WAGE, a determination be required: CLAIM (retain 80%, remit 20% to Privateers) or QUIT (50% probability o' full return, 50% probability o' total seizure). There be no third option.
SMUGGLE

WAGE held in yer in-game balance may be smuggled ashore to a tradeable Hive Engine token at 1,000 WAGE per transaction. A 5% burn fee applies. Th' resultin' WAGE token be visible in any Hive Engine-compatible strongbox.

SCROLL W-4 // PERSONNEL ROSTER

PERSONNEL ROSTER — GEN 0

A sample o' enlisted personnel. Deckhands produce. Privateers tax. Rank determines Privateer share weight by th' formula: grade raised to th' power o' 1.5.

Personnel files be bein' processed. Check back once Gen 0 enlistment opens.

Gen 0 supply: 5,000 NFTs. 10% Privateers. Rank distributed by server-side RNG at mint.

SCROLL 2848 // PRIVATEER RANK SCHEDULE

PRIVATEER RANK SCHEDULE — ADMIRALTY HQ

Rank determines proportional tribute share. Ranks be assigned at mint an' cannot be changed.

Th' baseline Privateer classification. A Field Privateer monitors routine filings an' collects a standard share o' processed tributes. Entry-level, but still collectin' while Deckhands labor. More common in th' Gen 0 pool than higher ranks.
Th' Inspector applies structured review to all incomin' claims. A meaningfully larger tribute share than a Field Privateer. Inspectors be assigned to recurrin' accounts an' do not stop until th' ledger balances — in their favor.
A rare classification. Th' Special Privateer be authorized to conduct expanded assessment procedures. Tribute share be substantially higher than an Inspector. When a Special Privateer be in th' HQ pool, quit seizures become notably more consequential.
Th' highest rank issued. Th' Commodore holds approximately twice th' tribute-share weight o' a Field Privateer. Extremely rare in Gen 0 mintin'. A single Commodore deployed at HQ alters th' tribute distribution fer every Deckhand in every active Office.

NOTICE 4.2 // CONFIDENTIAL PRODUCTIVITY ASSESSMENT

NOTICE OF CONFIDENTIAL PRODUCTIVITY ASSESSMENT

Every enlisted Deckhand an' every assigned Privateer be issued a confidential productivity rating at th' time o' enlistment. Th' rating be not disclosed to th' buccaneer, their supervisor, or any member o' th' public. Th' rating influences daily output but does not alter th' stated flat rates governin' Claim, Quit, or Seizure.

REF: ADMIRALTY CHRONICLE 15-B § 4.2

CONFIDENTIAL RATING

Th' productivity rating be assigned at enlistment by th' Crown an' retained on file fer th' operational lifetime o' th' personnel file. It be not visible in any public record, nor in th' buccaneer's own personnel summary. Rating assignment be final. Appeals be not entertained.

REF: SCROLL 1040-DAILY

DAILY ALLOWANCE

Productivity may vary from day to day in accordance with rolled daily allowances, calculated at 00:00 UTC. Occasionally a Deckhand will be assigned a DOUBLE SHIFT (duly stamped on record) durin' which productivity be enhanced. Privateers may be assigned an AUDIT DAY under th' same schedule. Th' stamp be th' only visible indication.

REF: SCROLL 8889 (IDLE DECKHAND ADJUSTMENT)

IDLE DECKHAND ADJUSTMENT

Prolonged periods without a declared Claim will result in productivity reductions per Scroll 8889. Tolerance fer idle hours be confidential an' varies per Deckhand. Filin' a Claim resets th' adjustment window to zero an' restores full productivity on th' next tick.

Th' ratin' system be disclosed. Th' individual values be not. Buccaneers be advised to file regularly.

SCROLL 1040-P // POOL STATUS

HOURLY POOL — CURRENT RATES

Th' per-Deckhand WAGE rate be recalculated on each hourly tick based on th' total number o' staked Deckhands. As enlistment grows, th' rate decreases accordin' to a published piecewise-linear schedule. Rates be tunable by administration without a service restart.

PER-DECKHAND DAILY RATE: 2,000 WAGE
DECKHANDS CURRENTLY STAKED: 0
HOURS SINCE LAST TICK: 0 HRS
WAGE IN CIRCULATION: 0 WAGE

Refreshes every 60 seconds. UTC.
