# Takeover ⚑

A takeover is one collector making a public, premium, simultaneous offer on **every Output** of another collector's position in a single project. The street gets to watch.

**How:** On a collector's profile, tap the ⚑ flag in the action row — it appears when they hold 3+ Outputs of one project.

## Casting one

On any collector's profile, the **⚑** flag in the action row (it names itself in a toast) opens the cast sheet:

1. **Pick the position.** Only holdings of **3+ Outputs from one project** are targetable — below that it's just three offers.
2. **Name the per-Output price.** The premium is enforced, not optional: at least **1.2×** the target's market (their lowest active listing, else the project floor, else mint price).
3. **Read the terms, then cast.** `72 HOURS · PUBLIC · NON-CANCELLABLE`.

Casting places a real offer on every one of the target's Outputs at that price. Because PD runs its own offer book, non-cancellable means exactly that — the caster cannot withdraw a single Output of the blanket until the window closes.

## Being taken over

The target is pinged the moment the flag goes up, and holds all the cards:

- **Cherry-pick.** Accept on any subset — sell 3 of 22 at the premium, keep the rest. Each acceptance is a normal offer acceptance.
- **Accept everything.**
- **Refuse by re-listing.** You can't counter a takeover directly (that's what makes it hostile), but re-listing Outputs higher mid-window is a visible refusal.
- **Ignore it.** At 72 hours the window closes on its own.

## The public record

An active takeover banners **both profiles** — `TAKEOVER` on the caster, `UNDER TAKEOVER` on the target — with the project, the per-Output price, and the countdown. The blanket's offers appear in the project's Offers book wearing the ⚑ TAKEOVER badge.

When the window closes, the verdict is inscribed:

- **COMPLETED** — every Output yielded.
- **PARTIAL** — some yielded, with the count.
- **WITHSTOOD** — not one Output sold. The target's profile wears this mark for **180 days**. It is the biggest flex the mechanic can produce.

Some collectors will become known takeover artists. Some will become famous for withstanding. Both reputations are earned in public.
