Here is a brief overview of the loop that will maintain the sustainability of the game and our already live token. The two components are interlinked yet operate independently. You can find all the details of each token/NFT and game mechanics down below after this page, but here is the basic framework on which the game's economy is built on.

The system is composed of two parts.

The first part is the FLAG token (refer to tokenomics). Stakers will enjoy several in-game and off-game benefits:

• Discounts on the quantity of 'bottle of rum' required in-game (these bottles being essential for each action) and rETH ingame fees.

• A percentage cut of the game's generated fees (with a buyback of FLAG directly redistributed to the stakers)

• Advantages in airdrops of compasses through giveaways and other contests (an indispensable consumable NFT for legendary PvE and PvP)

The second part, of course, is the game itself:

• The economic model is both simple and complex. Some action require $rETH (Rocket Pool Ethereum a liquid staking token) , and some other like building premium require $FLAG.

• From $rETH fees, a proportion (subject to minor changes but will remain close to the current distribution) is allocated as follows: 90% of the rETH fees go to the end-game chest. The remaining 10% is allocated to the team.

• To delve deeper, essentially, all the fees incurred in-game, such as those from generate characters stats, crafting gear, and so forth, contribute to a large chest reserved for the end-game (legendary PvP). This chest will also contain 100% of the revenue from NFT sales (taverns, shipyards, brothels, forges). Anyone who reaches legendary PvP status and completes a successful legendary sail with their ships will earn a percentage of this chest, which is expected to be substantial. These are the main features, in addition to the opportunity to sell services if you own a forge, brothel, shipyard, etc., or the items you acquire through PvE/PvP gameplay.

We prefer not to commit to a specific launch date for the mainnet. Instead, our strategy is to keep our community informed through regular updates and provide an estimated progress percentage. As of November 22th, we are at 100% completion

The Chapter I - Pirate's Landing is the PVE mode. The objective:

• Enhance your characters' levels through experience points (EXP) and crafted Gears using the Forge.

• Level-up your Tavern.

• Acquire the most exceptional gears available.

• Engage in the production of $BARRELS (if you own a tavern).

• Embark on Treasure Hunts to gather Coins and the accompanying EXP.

The progression begins with Copper Coins. Upon reaching level 30, you can access Silver Coins. Upon reaching level 70, you gain access to Gold Coins.

All actions undertaken in the PVE mode will be essential for Chapter II. Achieving the Legendary level and obtaining Gold Coins are imperative for the end-game experience.

"For Loot And Glory" Game Overview

Game Description: "For Loot And Glory" is a pirate-themed strategic RPG accessible through web browsers and powered by the Skale Network. This game is designed to shift away from conventional P2E models, focusing instead on a player-first experience.

Development Philosophy: Unlike traditional games that require upfront investment with promises of future gameplay, "For Loot And Glory" invites players to directly engage with a testnet version and offers a free asset for initial play. This approach aims to:

• Enhance the existing robust community.

• Provide a fully decentralized gaming experience.

• Avoid the pitfalls commonly associated with early P2E game development.

Mobile Accessibility: The game will be accessible on mobile devices following the main-net launch, ensuring broader accessibility and convenience.

Key Innovations and Strategic Approaches:

• Community and Economy First: The game’s economic model is designed to be unique and sustainable, providing an engaging experience without the excessive grind typical in other P2E games.

• Learning from Past Failures: Based on observations of other P2E platforms, the development strategy addresses and avoids critical missteps such as:

  • Dependency on continuous new user acquisition to sustain the economy.

  • Non-scalable reward systems that do not require further player investment.

  • Asset inflation or hyperinflation without effective countermeasures.

  • Lack of effective asset burn mechanisms.

  • Inadequate liquidity solutions for token pools.

  • Risk of centralization and off-chain security vulnerabilities.

  • Insufficient competitive elements that allow equal grind for all players.

  • Reliance on untested or centralized blockchains with high transaction fees and no fallback plans.

Objectives and Player Benefits:

• Decentralized Participation: Players can enjoy an autonomous gaming experience where community interaction and strategic gameplay lead to potential earnings.

• Economic Sustainability: Through a carefully designed economic model, the game ensures long-term engagement and viability, benefiting both new and existing players.

• Competitive Fairness: Introduces true competitive elements to enhance player interaction and engagement.

OUR APPROACH

1. Not depending on a specific user count for the economic model to function. Even with just 100 players, committed players can still earn money.

2. Introducing gas fees for every action, making it a combination of time spent and gas used.

3. Implementing a halving mechanism for our sole in-game token ($barrels), similar to Bitcoin's, which will be essential for gameplay and most actions. Plus, this $barrels will be NFTs and not ERC20 tokens. Additionally, those aiming for the lucrative legendary level must be willing to take the risk of burning characters and other assets.

4. As mentioned earlier, earning money requires risking asset burning and substantial $barrels usage.

5. No need of any pools as the main token cannot be used as such but must "mint" some "bottle of rum". These bottles won't be tokens but NFTs.

6. Having everything on-chain, with the front-end (website) mirrored on Arweave, ensuring the game remains playable regardless of circumstances. ENS domain. We consider the project to be 100% decentralized once keys (smart contracts) are thrown away.

7. Eliminating off-chain tokens and adopting a similar approach for the website.

8. Reserving substantial rewards, the treasure chest (end-game), for dedicated players. Others can also profit with their assets by selling them, spending some time and fees in-game.

10. Using Skale, a well-designed for gaming , Gas free Zk Rollup, RNG by default and free that is considered safe.

We believe we have resolved the issues observed in other projects and are confident that our game will stand out. Welcome to our Pirate's lair!

Chapter II - Pirate's Rampage

PvP Mode: High-Seas Adventures In the Player versus Player (PvP) mode, players embark on strategic naval battles across expansive waters, engaging in exhilarating voyages to claim treasures and renown. Each Odyssey tests players' management of resources, battle skills, and strategic acumen.

Launching an Odyssey Players must assemble a formidable crew led by a Level 100 character equipped with legendary gear. To embark, players also need a sufficient stock of rum and a ship with the required durability:

• Common Odyssey: 10 durability points

• Rare Odyssey: 20 durability points

• Legendary Odyssey: 30 durability points

The cost of launching includes bottles of rum and a fee in rETH.

Mission Timers After each attack, both the defender and the attacker have 24 hours to spend their mission points before they can be attacked again. If their mission points drop to zero before the timer expires, the ship becomes vulnerable to attacks immediately. This timer applies universally across all Odyssey types.

Types of Odysseys

1. Seafarer's Run (Common Odyssey)

   • Durability: 10 points

   • Starting Cargo: 5000 bottles of rum

   • Stake per Attack: 200 cargo points

   • Reward: Common Chests

2. Plunderer's Quest (Rare Odyssey)

   • Durability: 20 points

   • Starting Cargo: 10,000 bottles of rum

   • Stake per Attack: 200 cargo points

   • Reward: Rare Chests

3. Siren's Call (Legendary Odyssey)

   • Durability: 30 points

   • Starting Cargo: 25,000 bottles of rum

   • Stake per Attack: 100 cargo points

   • Reward: Legendary Chests

   • Note: If the cargo reaches zero, the ship will be destroyed.

Odyssey Phases

1. Attack Phase

   • Interception: The attacker attempts to intercept the defender by rolling dice twice, aiming to beat half of the defender's sailing stats with each roll. If the defender wins both rolls, their ship escapes, earning 3 mission points, while the attacker gains 1 mission point.

   • Boarding: The attacker then tries to board the defender's ship. This involves two dice rolls between the attacker's max boarding value and half the defender's charisma, plus a final roll between the attacker's max charisma and half the defender's boarding value. The winner of two out of three rolls claims victory in the battle.

2. Negoce Spoils: The victor negotiates the spoils with the vanquished:

   • If the victor wins the dice roll (mid charisma of both parties), they seize 100 cargo points plus 20% of the total cargo of the defeated.

   • If the victor loses the negotiation, they take 100 cargo points plus 10% of the total cargo.

Durability and Usure Every attack reduces the durability of both the attacker's and defender's ships by one point. An Odyssey ends when a ship's durability or cargo reaches zero. Successful dice rolls in sailing, boarding, or charisma decrease the related stat by 5% due to wear and tear.

Missions Players can attempt missions using mission points to gain stat bonuses, with a 50% base difficulty, influenced by the captain’s role and the type of ship.

Rewards and Conclusion Upon exiting an Odyssey, players receive rewards based on their remaining cargo, in the form of Chests—unless the cargo is depleted. The PvP mode offers a blend of strategy, risk, and reward, urging players to plan their attacks and use their resources wisely.

Once in possession of a Legendary Odyssey Map, players can embark on their final and most epic adventure. Owning this Map is the ultimate key to get a massive prize : A percentage of the chest. Legendary ship sets sail in pursuit of the ultimate treasure, The Crown Of Gold, and it will be the ship's final Odyssey before retirement (burn).

The Lost Treasure

The Lost Treasure is a culmination of the vast amount of rETH accumulated by all players throughout their adventurous journeys and progression. The Crown Of Gold poses the ultimate challenge, offering players the chance to claim unparalleled riches and fame. Only the most daring and skilled players will have the opportunity to unlock this extraordinary treasure.

(Note: The Endgame mechanics are subject to continuous fine-tuning to ensure a balanced and thrilling experience for all players.)

The Crown Of Gold Is Yours !

So you've obtained your Legendary Odyssey Map, and you've sent your ship on a 30-days journey to acquire that beautiful Crown of Gold. Now, all that's left is patience. And a percentage of the Chest will be claimable directly to your wallet. The tokens you'll receive are $rETH tokens. The 30-days duration is designed to regulate the chest, allowing it to be replenished by other players during that time. The amount should be quite substantial, rewarding the dedicated players (try-hard players), and it consists of a % of all fees paid in Chapter I and II, plus the building's mint.

Crucial for gaining access to the in-game characters, its primary function is to enable the minting of tickets. These tickets, in turn, are used to mint three in-game characters. Different components and a touch of rarity will be present, purely for enjoyment. These distinctions, however, don't have any impact within the game. So, don't become overly excited if you manage to mint the rarest Recruiter NFT. Their sole purpose lies in minting Tickets, which are then used to mint the game's characters. Nevertheless, we won't be dismayed if you decide to showcase it as a profile picture (PFP). Possessing one grants you the capability to mint 3 Tickets (ERC1155), and subsequently, with the acquired ticket, you can mint three playable characters. Following the initial Ticket mint, a one-month cooldown will initiate. The duration of this cooldown hinges on the cumulative circulating supply of characters and therefore may alter over time. Each current FLAG staker receives one for every 100 FLAG tokens they stake. External participants also have the opportunity to acquire one.

BURN

$BARRELS : It is burned to level up the taverns, to refill the thirst of the characters within the buildings, and later on, for actions in Chapter II. To regulate the circulating supply, a halving will happen on $BARRELS produced through the Tavern each time it goes above 1.000.000 (total circulating supply)

CHARACTERS : To reach the end-game (Chapter II), obtaining legendary stuffs is mandatory. Each "mission" to obtain legendary stuff comes with the risk of burning your character. Also, characters have a limited life span regardless of their careers within buildings. Also, the character dies during the end-game in PVP. The conditions of this burn will be explained when Chapter II is live. GEARS AND STUFF : When a gear is equipped on a character, the nft is burned, it cannot be removed from the character. Therefore, when the character dies, so does the gear.

COINS : The Coins are burned to obtain gears. It will be necessary also for the end-game and the PVP Chapter II TICKETS : Limited by a cooldown and by the total supply of the NFT collection. Balance is made with the death of the characters via the end-game and other mechanism mentioned above.

To explain how the economy of the game will work, we need to explain the burn mechanism & the Earn system. After reading these 2 parts, you will fully understand the economic cycle built for the game. Also, keep in mind few things could change before full game release if we encounter a problem with how the game works. Once things works properly and are definitive, this message will disappear.

FLAG token is a super low supply token : 1.000.000. let us explain how the FLAG token will provide value to everyone.

Twenty percent of the premium building fees and hundred percent of FLAG fees during quest map, will be automatically added to the Royalty staking reward reserve, which will then be redistributed to our stakers. The royalty will adjust the daily emissions to ensure a consistent distribution over a five-year period. Since we're buying back FLAG tokens, regular holders and speculators will also benefit.

Now, what about the gamers? It will be highly recommended to stake some FLAG tokens, as the total amount you stake will determine the generous Bottle of Rum's discounts on in-game actions that require its use. To give you an idea : 10.000 staked FLAG = 80% discount!

Else

For those who want to stake your FLAG on the Royalty or USDC for the Game Presale, you need to bridge your token to the Skale Gaming Hub where our game is running : Skale Nebula

$FLAG is capped at a Max Supply of 1,000,000 Tokens. After the first two sales phases, the remaining supply is mined by liquidity providers.The $FLAG token identify members, give roles based on the number of tokens in their wallet, and pay “Royalties”.

There was three sale phases :

• The private presale (10%) at a fixed price reserved for members who have participated in the DAPP Testnet and in the building of the community and Discord.

• The public presale (10%)

• The IDO (80%) , to launch a decentralized exchange pool, bring trading volume to $FLAG, and provide access to returns for those who provides liquidity.

$FLAG distribution

Phase 0: Each Emperor Of The Sea (founders) bought 4,000 $FLAG, Captains bought 2,000 $FLAG (20,000 $FLAG) at the same price as phase 1 and 20 000 $FLAG were a Staff Allocation.

Phase 1 (Private presale)

• Price per $FLAG: 0.25 MATIC

• Number of $FLAG Availbale: 100,000 $FLAG

Phase 2 (Public presale)

• Price per $FLAG: 0.5 MATIC

• Number of $FLAG Available: 100,000 $FLAG

Finale Stage (LP mining and Staking)

• Staking Program Reward 800,000 $FLAG are distributed over 4 years to members who stake their LP token MATIC/FLAG and WETH/FLAG on the Dapp.

ROYALTY STAKERS

Current staking system There is a daily FLAG emission from the 2,7 years secured (see below). FLAG ingame fees are gonna be automatically added to the vault. The system that is gonna be in place will add 2,3 years to the royalty distribution to reach a 5 years of FLAG distribution. The vault will automatically adjust the daily emission to always keep a 5 years distribution. It might sounds a bit complicated so don't hesitate to ask the team within the discord server if it isn't clear. From our previous system, as of today, thanks to these first investments (see below), we secured 2,7 years of royalties distribution among our stakers. Our game will gives us the opportunity to add more to it. Previous staking system We started as a guild made of investors investing into play 2 earn games. With the first token sale we used the funds to also invest into games and profits were distributed to the stakers (most assets were rented out to "scholars" that also were stakers). In exchange of staking and having access to all assets, they were also given a 90% cut / share of the profit made within the games. the 10% left were distributed amongs all stakers.

BARRELS Token Overview

General Information:

• Utility Token: $BARRELS serves as the in-game utility token for the FLAG game.

• Production Site: Produced exclusively in the TAVERN building.

• Conversion: Each $BARRELS can be converted into 100 Bottles of Rum, used for various game functions.

• No Initial Sale: There will be no presale, Initial DEX Offering (IDO), Initial Coin Offering (ICO), or similar launch events.

• Allocation: No allocations for marketing, advisors, or the team.

Emission Details:

• Daily Emission Rate: 20 Barrels at Launch

• Regulation Mechanism: The total daily emission is controlled by a halving mechanism:

  • Halving Trigger: A halving in production occurs each time the total circulating supply of $BARRELS exceeds 1,000,000.

  • Cancellation of Halving: If the circulating supply falls below 1,000,000, the halving is automatically cancelled, reverting to the previous emission rate.

  *this is the base but few changes could occur before mainnet launch.

"The Centralization is the concentration of control under a single authority. It requires complete trust and madness. I would not fully trust my own self so how I could I give it away to someone else?"

The entire game operates on-chain, with a mirrored frontend hosted on Arweave. The game is designed to function without human intervention, requiring only the participation of players. All player actions are executed through immutable smart contracts. The fees generated by the buildings are automatically redirected to their rightful destinations by these contracts. (see Fees & Mint) Player end-game earnings are autonomously managed through smart contracts. All financial transactions within the game are overseen by these smart contracts, which, once deployed, are immutable and cannot be altered. The game's treasury is not controlled by any individual key or entity. From a technical standpoint, the team cannot access the funds. Tokens within the pool are frozen, ensuring that any deceptive withdrawal or "rug pull" is technically infeasible.

In essence, post-deployment, the team retains no control over the game beyond addressing technical operations. However, even this access will be revoked after verifying that all bugs have been addressed. The team has no access to the generated funds. If the entire team were to vanish, the game is designed to persist, both technically and financially, operating autonomously without any human intervention.

Tavern Overview

In Brief:

• Functionality: Stakes to produce $BARRELS (ERC20), which are converted into Bottles of Rum (ERC1155).

• Staking Location: Go to Town -> Tavern -> Stake button.

• Operation: Does not require a character to be assigned.

• Production Increase: Each level up increases $BARRELS production by +10%.

• Usage: Bottles of Rum are essential for character activities within the game.

Detailed Guide:

Minting and Staking Process:

• Minting: Obtain a Tavern by minting.

• Staking: Once staked in the dApp, the Tavern begins producing $BARRELS of Rum.

$BARRELS Claiming:

• Claim your $BARRELS using the "claim" button found under each tavern within the dApp interface. You can claim at any time, allowing flexibility in managing your resources.

Leveling Up Tavern:

• Cost: To level up the tavern, it costs 0.01 rETH + 1000 $BARRELS for the first level. Each subsequent level requires an additional +20% of $BARRELS.

• Fixed rETH Cost: The rETH price remains the same regardless of the level.

• Production Bonus: Each level increases $BARRELS production by +10%.

Production Halving Mechanism:

• If the total circulating supply of $BARRELS exceeds 1,000,000, a halving of general production is triggered to maintain balance. This halving is automatically reversed if the supply drops below this threshold.

Bottling Process:

• Convert $BARRELS into Bottles of Rum by clicking "Bottling" above your Tavern. This conversion is crucial as 1 $BARREL equals 100 Bottles of Rum, which can then be used by characters or sold on the marketplace.

Economic and Strategic Impact:

• The pricing and leveling costs are designed to regulate $BARRELS production and enhance endgame rewards. All funds from this process contribute directly to end-game payouts, benefitting PvP Chapter II winners. See also : $BARRELS Tokenomic and Earn & Endgame
