The doomsday clock is also paused, which is not how clocks work.

StarCraft-shaped. Mine tokens, build, train units, use abilities, destroy both enemy HQs, or have the most Delivered Value when the doomsday clock strikes midnight.
Starts at 2:00 to midnight. It ticks on its own and advances with every token spent anywhere on the map (250 tokens = 1 second). Dan can nudge it forward. At midnight the AI bubble bursts: token income collapses for everyone, Shimin hardest. After a short correction the auditors count Delivered Value (units and buildings alive, plus creeps cleared). Highest value wins.
Every unit has a context meter that drains while it moves or fights. At 13% its performance degrades sharply: less damage, slower, invents APIs. Send it home with G to compact; standing near your HQ or production building restores it.
Fog of war is hallucination. Unscouted areas occasionally show invented enemy units. They vanish when one of your real units gets close enough to check. Do not cite them.
Few units, all expensive. HQ Two Acres in Washington is slow to develop (X to upgrade) but yields enormous passive tokens. Arena Judges grades enemies and deletes the worst. Shakespeare stuns with a soliloquy (derpy hands: 20% chance of half duration). Superweapon Fourth-Order Effects: rings of consequences; at the 7th order everyone in range, yours too, stops to discuss what it means to be human. Passive Deadpan: immune to Dan's Rant. Weakness the 20x plan: a 2,000-token cap; hit it and production stalls for 10s.
One base, no cloud. Everything builds at The Framework Desktop; queue too much and it thermal-throttles. Token Miser: half-cost, lower-stat units. Small PRs: units ship in small, fast batches. Open Weights captures a neutral model after a 3s Tiananmen check (fail and it glitches). Haiku only writes haikus. x86 Tetris is a fortress abilities cannot target. Dan's Rant charges for two and a half weeks, then erupts map-wide. Superweapon Two Minutes to Midnight moves the clock 30s closer. Weakness jet lag: slow units for the first 60s.
As an AI opponent he drops in at 2:00 (he is covering for Dan). Persuaders convert enemies on sustained contact. Grandmaster hero is immune to morale effects and pacification. Hahaha heals, and fires for free whenever a Shakespeare appears. I'd Watch It All Day locks one enemy until it is damaged; cast it on a Hamlet to steal the audience. Guest Host: if Dan's HQ falls while Rahul lives, Rahul takes Dan's units. Employer-Neutral: no insignia, so single-target abilities and judge deletions skip his units. Superweapon Hype Train.
Open-weight models spawn 4 to 14 months behind the frontier at camps around the map. Kill them for tokens and Delivered Value, or let Dan capture them.
