Pay, score, rank. No asterisks.
Put $100 on a spot and exactly one thing happens:
No skill component, no draw, no jackpot. The number is the money, the money is the rank, and chat can see both. The score is not money you are holding and you cannot withdraw it. It is a public record of what you spent, and it stays.
Every dollar you pay lands on the score and stays there. Nothing drains, nothing expires, and no clock is running against you. Walk away for a year and you come back to the exact number you left. Presets today: $5, $20, $50, $100, with a $5 minimum.
The ladder is ordered by lifetime total, so the only way past somebody is to put in more than they have. Once you are past, you stay past until they answer it. Nobody slides down for going quiet. They slide down because somebody else went bigger. Highest total wears the crown.
A score cannot fall, so there is nothing to revive. The position you buy is the position you keep, permanently on the record.
Crypto settles the moment the chain confirms. USDC, or any of 300+ coins converted on the way in. Cards come later and land the same way. Nothing sits in escrow: the score moves on confirmation, not on a promise.
You buy your own rank. Nobody is backing anybody, no cut comes out and nothing gets paid to anyone. Every dollar goes onto the score of the spot it was spent on and stops there. That is the whole reason the number means anything: it is what one person was willing to spend on themselves, not a total their fans chipped in.
Claim a name, pick what you are, point us at your link, put money down. That is the whole signup: no application, no review queue, nobody to approve you. The name is the identity and it is yours alone, so if somebody already took it, it is taken.
Getting a listing pulled takes one click: "That is me, remove it" via /report pulls it down first and asks questions after. Money already spent is still spent. Taking a listing down is not a refund. 18+ only.
