THE RULES

How it works

01

One ruler at a time

Whoever paid the most, most recently, owns the whole page. Their name, their message, their links — that is what every visitor sees.

02

Outpay to take it

The price ratchets: 20% above the last claim, or 50¢ more, whichever is larger, rounded up to a clean 50¢ step. Right now that is $0.50.

03

Pay more, build a wall

The next minimum is computed from what you actually paid, not from the minimum you could have paid. Every doubling buys about 6.6 more days before the asking price decays back to where it is now.

No refunds. You can be overwritten at any time. That is the game.

THE FALLEN

Every ruler who was overwritten

Their message, what they paid, and how long they held it. Kept forever.

No one has been overwritten yet. This is where they go.

THE LEDGER

Top spenders

Every dollar ever paid, crowned or not.

All time

The ledger is empty.
