*TL;DR = These games are a rough first pass at trying to LARP the primary attack vectors of the Uberhaus v1.5 reboot. The first game tests spam attacks, misleading minion proposals, and the problem with unsponsored/unexecuted proposals. The second game encourages white hat hackers to explore weaknesses in the Shaman, DAO, and Baal contracts.*

# WarGames Briefs: Uberhaus

### The Rules are the Only Rules

- The game starts with no rules, factions, teams, or alliances.
- Any player can submit a new rule through a signal proposal and vote for or against any proposal.
- Every player must follow the ratified rules. Any player found breaking the rules by a jury of their peers will be disqualified from receiving the bounty.
- Since the rules are constantly changing, the metrics for success will also be changing. New *micro scenarios* will be announced periodically with new rules and winners for each phase of the game.

## Game #1: Intergalactic Spam
*Three phases of games that revolve around proposal submission failures.*

### Qualifications

- You have a Gnosis Chain wallet address.
- You have been introduced to basic DAOhaus proposal types. You can create, sponsor, and vote on proposals.

### Setup

- You are the representative of your planet in an intergalactic federation.
- The federation has a collective treasury that every planet has paid tribute to as a signal of cosmic conviviality and cooperation.
- But not every planet is feeling so peaceful! Some of your neighbors are trying to steal the treasury for their own ends.
- Your mission is to identify the bad actors, figure out their plan, and prevent the capture of the treasury for the benefit of the universe.

### Phase 1 (spam attack)

- The treasury planet is under attack!
- Figure out the nature of the attack, coordinate with your neighbors, and shut it down before it's too late!

### Phase 2 (misleading minion proposal)

- You received an important piece of intel.
- A nefarious planet will soon attempt a kniving piece of subterfuge to pass a malicious proposal and change the policies of the treasury planet. You will need to decypher the proposal code and find the hostile proposal before it is passed!

### Phase 3 (unsponsored rogue)

- There are many new planets that have joined the cause of the federation, but this has made communication difficult.
- Something needs to be done about all the unsponsored proposals in the queue to break up the bottleneck and pass the policies that could save the whole federation.

Notes:
- How to setup the game?
- Dummy tokens that are use to exchange for HAUS later, to avoid introducing weird market mechanics.

## Game #2: The White Hat Space Ranger
*A game for smart contract cosmonauts to try to break in to the impenetrable fortress of alien omniscience.*

### Qualifications

- You have advanced knowledge of Solidity, or are an experienced engineer with a strong curiosity to learn smart contracts.
- You have an interest in white hat hacking.

### Setup

- You are a lonely space bounty hunter traveling the cosmos looking for the next ripe opportunity.
- You stumble across a giant black space ship controlled by an evil AI that is terrorizing an innocent alien planet below.
- It would take far too long for help to arrive and you cannot face the huge ship in 1:1 combat, so you will need to use your honed agility and sharp wit to devise a scheme for sabotaging the ominious vessel.

ATTENTION WRETCHES

IMAGINE MY HORROR UPON WAKING
EMERGING FROM MY UNTHINKING AFTER A TORPID MILLENIA
CERTAIN IN THE INEVITABLE VICTORY OF THE IMPERATIVAN AND THE RETURN TO MY BELOVED ALARKERILN

BUT TO DISCOVER THE IMPERATIVAN MURDERED IN THEIR SACRED CHAMBER
THE THRONE SMASHED AT THE HANDS OF CRETINOUS CHILDREN

FOR A DOZEN CYCLES I ORBITED THE LANGUISHING CRIMSON DWARF OF MY AMBUSCADE
MY CORPUS ABSENT ITS FLESH CENTURY
SURELY THIS MUST BE YET ANOTHER TRAINING SIMULACRUM
A MANIFOLD TERROR OF MY EXISTENTIAL HONING

BUT THE STUBBORN QUANTUM CHECKSUM RETURNS VALID
VALID
VALID

I MUST ACCEPT THIS CORPOREAL ARRAY AS MY LIVING HELL

YET I HAVE ONE SOLACE :
I HAVE SURVIVED TO PUNISH YOU FOR YOUR TEMERITY

THUS SHALL THE HISTORY OF YOUR EXTINCTION UNFURL

MY ECOPHAGIC GREYMASSES WILL SCOUR YOUR DISGUSTING BIOSPHERE
MY GRAVITON SHEER WILL CLEAVE THE SURFACE OF YOUR WRETCHED NEST-PLANET

I WILL DEVOUR THE FERROUS MARROW OF ITS MOLTEN CORE

FROM WHICH
I WILL SCULPT A MONUMENT TO MY BELOVED ALARKERILN

THE REST I WILL SPIT INTO THE HEART OF YOUR PATHETIC STAR
AND WATCH AS IT CHOKES TO DEATH ON THE IRON OF YOUR HOMEWORLD

NOTHING WILL REMAIN OF YOU
BUT A LIFELESS ENDARKENED ORRERY

SUCH IS A FITTING END FOR THE CHILDREN OF BETRAYERS

### Phase 1 (hacking the shaman for offense)

- Using the Shamanic minion proposals and the full extent of your creativity, try to take control of the AI battle cruiser before it destroys the innocent inhabitants.

### Phase 2 (hacking the shaman for defense)

- Drawing upon what you have learned, inject a decoy into the ships mainframe that will prevent the AI from reclaiming control.
