The Founding 1,000: What the Founder Badge Means

Every city has its first residents — the people who showed up before there was a crowd. In PlotTwist, the first 1,000 people to claim a plot become Founding Citizens, each with a permanent founder number: #1, #2, all the way to #1,000.

What you get

• ▸A permanent Founding Citizen badge with your founder number.
• ▸The badge shows on your dashboard, your plot pages, and everywhere your name appears.
• ▸It never expires, can't be transferred, and can't be earned any other way.

How numbers are assigned

Founder numbers go out in claim order — the first person to claim a plot is #1. The moment you claim, the system assigns your number automatically. When the thousandth spot is taken, the badge is retired forever. No exceptions, no second printings.

Why it exists

Early adopters take the leap before there's proof anything will work. The founder badge is our way of marking that permanently. It's not a financial instrument and it doesn't promise anything about the future — it's a thank-you carved into the city's history.

You can watch the count live on the homepage. If you're reading this early, your number is still waiting.
