A Hungry Man’s Odyssey is the name of the secret game played by the majority of the members of the Intergalactic Unity Foundation. It involves completing a set of tasks in order to acquire points and rise up the ranks of the leaderboard, with the goal of being the first one to acquire a fixed amount of points to win the prized reward they all seek. In this game there is only one winner, and a lot of losers. Points can be both acquired and revoked depending on the rewards or penalties when accepting a task. Once you join the game, it is impossible to leave it.

## Overview

A Hungry Man’s Odyssey began at the same time that the Intergalactic Unity Foundation was founded. All players begin the game with 15,000 points. To join the game, future players must first swear allegiance to The Bounty. They must also not be connected to any faction that is not under the dominion of The Bounty. Once that is settled, they will be “uploaded” to the system, a complex web that links the player’s life to the game. Before them will appear a screen they can only see, which will be their guide throughout the game. In this screen players will be able to see the current top 5, their tasks, and if they are high enough on the leaderboard, the chat option. Afterwards, they must sign up with a username that will replace their real name (in all interactions related to the game), and the game can begin once and for all.

To win the game, players much achieve 1,000,000,000 points.

The system is administrated solely by Rabisu, who is the creator of it all.

### Rules of the Game

1. The first rule of the game is to not speak of the game with those that are not involved in it, unless they are to be recruited into the game.
2. Players must not harm newly recruited players until the grace period is over (3 months).

## Task System

The tasks can be divided into different ranks, or difficulties. The rate in which a task difficulty may appear for the player is completely at random. No factors, with the exception of a few benefits given to the top 5 players, impact how the tasks are distributed. More TBA.

### Examples of Tasks per Rank

* **Rank C-** plastering posters that elevate and speak well of The Bounty throughout the streets.
* **Rank B-** Lecturing a group of zealots on the benefits of following The Bounty.
* **Rank A-**
* **Rank S-** Stopping and destroying an event that celebrates another Aeon in its entirely.

### Non-Timed Tasks

Non-timed tasks exist in the system. Though they are not timed, they can enter a period of suspect should the player take too long to complete them. The period of “free-time” before being affected by the investigation that is initiated out of being a suspect of avoiding the completion of a task will depend on the rank of the task.

The “free” time is as follows:

* **Rank C-** 1-2 months, depending on the task.
* **Rank B-** 3-6 months, depending on the task.
* **Rank A-** 7-11 months, depending on the task.
* **Rank S-** 1-2 years, depending on the task.

Should a player not complete with the time span given, they will be put under investigation and their ability to acquire points will be suspended until the end of the investigation.

## Points System

There are multiple ways to both gain and lose points in this game. The easiest way to acquire points is quite simple—accept a task and complete it. Some tasks are time-limited, providing the “players” with greater rewards, but also greater penalties. These tasks can range from cooking a meal to setting a building on fire—the greater the risk, the greater the rewards. Players are not forced to accept all tasks, however there are minor penalties if they refuse to accept any or if they have no active task for an amount of time.

Each rank of task has a standard minimum point that can be given. The minimum amount of pints that can be given per completion of a ranked task is as follows:

* **Rank C-** 10 points.
* **Rank B-** 60 points.
* **Rank A-** 150 points.
* **Rank S-** 375 points.

### Extra Rewards

Certain, outlying actions can grant players a greater amount of points than completing regular tasks.

 Killing an officer (or someone of an important rank) of a faction who does not follow The Bounty.
 Killing a follower of another Aeon.
 Inviting someone to the game.

### Penalties

Though there are many benefits to the system, there are also repercussions if the system is not followed as intended.

 Aiding an individual from another faction in anything that involves another Aeon.
 Not completing a time-limited Rank S task in time.
 Not completing a time-limited Rank A task in time.
 Not completing a time-limited Rank B task in time.
 Not completing a time-limited Rank C task in time.
 Being suspected of avoiding to finish a non time-limited task.
 Being declared guilty of avoiding to finish a non time-limited task.
 Reaching 0 points.
