Fan power · Season 1

Fill your faction's pool

Fan power comes in $5 steps from $5 to $50 into one pool per faction per season. Every $5 adds +1% strength to the faction's next battle ($5 = ×1.01, $25 = ×1.05, $45 = ×1.09); a full $50 pool secures that win.

+1% strength is about half a point on the odds bar at even odds, about four points at $45; the episode prints the before and after.

Any number of fans fill the pool; it is spent, whatever it holds, in the next battle the faction fights, and the faction is then done for the season. If the faction is conquered before the pool is spent, the pool becomes its rebellion fund (a bonus round at $50, a real draw, not a guarantee, home territory only). One pool per faction: boost or rebellion, not both.

The rules, exactly

  • Fan power comes in $5 steps from $5 to $50 into one pool per faction per season. Every $5 adds +1% strength to the faction's next battle ($5 = ×1.01, $25 = ×1.05, $45 = ×1.09); a full $50 pool secures that win.
  • +1% strength is about half a point on the odds bar at even odds, about four points at $45; the episode prints the before and after.
  • Any number of fans fill the pool; it is spent, whatever it holds, in the next battle the faction fights, and the faction is then done for the season. If the faction is conquered before the pool is spent, the pool becomes its rebellion fund (a bonus round at $50, a real draw, not a guarantee, home territory only). One pool per faction: boost or rebellion, not both.
  • How the secured win is shown. The five real draws are still made, shown and recorded; if they went the other way the episode shows the natural result and then FAN POWER. If both sides of a battle hold a full $50 pool it is a FAN CLASH: both pools are spent, nothing is refunded, the real draws decide, and the episode shows it as a special showdown.
  • Delivery. It applies to the next battle your faction fights, attacking or defending; that may be tomorrow or weeks away. It waits in the ledger, with no expiry, until the season ends.
  • Refunds. Full refund, without asking, when a payment cannot be applied: the pool was already full or spent, someone filled the last room first, the season ends before your faction's next battle, or a rebellion fund has not reached $50 by season end. Once your fan power has been applied in a published episode it has been delivered and is not refundable.
  • Fictional show. Fan power is a purchase with a fixed in-show effect, not gambling: no prizes, nothing to win. All prices in US dollars (USD). Processed by Stripe; we never see your card. You must be 18 or older to buy fan power.
