TITHE

The engine is the product

TITHE takes a game built for one player and puts it under the control of everybody at once. Nothing is scripted. The character is played by a crowd through a real game running on real hardware, and the crowd is not always kind to him.

The game is not the point. Diablo is what the engine happens to be driving this season — a body it can move, kill and dress. When the season ends the engine is pointed at something else, and everything around it stays exactly where it is.

That is why this domain is the engine and not the game. The seasons live underneath it, one path each, and the first of them is running right now.

Watch him

The stream is the game as it actually runs — no cuts, no commentary. Votes are cast on the season page, not in chat.

Four rules, and he has no say in any of them

Strangers move himEvery couple of seconds the votes are counted and the winner is what he does next. There is no override and no operator playing him.
The market dresses himWhat he is wearing is decided by the market, not by anyone choosing. He gets better armour when it can be afforded and not before.
Dying is permanent until it is paid forHe does not respawn. He lies where he fell until somebody covers the cost of raising him.
The payment is destroyedNothing paid to raise him is collected by anyone. It is burned, so the only thing it buys is more of him.
