Intelligence is your only real asset.

The Department of Death & Taxes is not a game of luck. It is a game of information asymmetry. The players who understand the mechanics at a contract level will systematically eliminate those who don't. This document exists to close that gap.

Every claim in this guide is sourced from publicly available on-chain data, official game communications, and community observations. Where information is unconfirmed or speculative, it is clearly marked as such.

CHAPTER I
The Core Mechanic
How taxes work, what an epoch is, and what happens when you go delinquent. The foundation every player needs to understand before anything else.
CHAPTER II
The Three Classes
Wealthy, Bureaucrat, Commoner — audit limits per class, the Wealthy Bribe mechanic, and how class determines your offensive and defensive power.
CHAPTER III
The Audit System
How audits work, the death clock, and the 5 rules for defending yourself. How coordinated groups use mass audits to eliminate large wallets.
CHAPTER IV
Advanced Audit Tactics
The mass audit tactic, how to choose the right target, the prepay advantage, and how to use the IRS dashboard to find vulnerable players.
CHAPTER V
Survival Strategies
Early game, mid game, and endgame — what to do in each phase. The Survivor's Paradox and why passive play alone will not get you to the final 69.
CHAPTER VI
Alliance & Betrayal
How to form an effective alliance, when to betray, and how to protect yourself from being betrayed. The social layer is where games are won and lost.

What you're getting.

A multi-page classified field manual. Black on neon. Monospaced. No filler.
