How the permission system works
Summary
Every player's admin level is tied directly to how long they have spent in the game. The more Time you have accumulated, the stronger your permissions become. Reach enough Time and all admin functions unlock without limit.
- Time the in-game currency that decides your admin level
- Chosen One the player with the most Time in a server, who holds unlimited admin
- Enlighten a lesser permission that sits below full admin, sometimes granted by the Chosen One
- Unlimited admin the goal, unlocked when you hold more Time than anyone else in the server

Picking the right server
CheckThree server types are available, each joined by typing a command in chat. The rules and permission system are identical across all three, so your choice comes down to how many people you want around and whether you plan to use voice chat.
- Type /JoinOG for the classic server a standard-sized session with the traditional feel
- Type /JoinXL for the large server holds up to 100 players, good for big group events
- Type /JoinVC for the voice-chat server designed for players who want to talk while playing
- Look at the current admin's Time before settling in a server where the Chosen One has fewer than 2,500 Time is relevant to the Pay to Win method
- Low-player servers are noted as a useful target
Ways to become the Chosen One
StepThere is no single route to becoming the Chosen One. Some methods are slow and low-risk; others are faster but come with real downsides.
- AFK farming leave your account running to accumulate Time, using an auto-clicker to keep the session active
- Server-hop to a new server block the current admin, type the server command in chat, and repeat until you land in or create a server where you hold the most Time; watch for chat cooldowns and spam suspensions
- Build trust stay in one server for a long time, be a fair and helpful player, and wait for the admin to voluntarily grant you admin or enlighten
- Run the revolution method persuade other players to donate their Time to you using the strategies in the Ultimate Guides to Rebellion
- Win a minigame some Chosen Ones host games like Simon Says and award admin or enlighten to winners, though this depends entirely on the admin choosing to run one
- Buy Time with Robux find a server where the admin has fewer than 2,500 Time, then purchase enough Time to surpass them; this costs a significant amount of Robux and other players will not respect the result
Earning enlighten quickly
TipsEnlighten sits just below full admin. The approaches involve asking the Chosen One for a specific, believable reason rather than a vague request.
- Tell the admin you need enlighten to set up a shop
- Tell the admin you need enlighten for a specific gear
- Once you have enlighten, ask for a building kit and set up a house store to sell builds and collect Time from other players
- A mansion sells for 2,000 Time, a big house for 500 Time, a normal house for 150 Time, and a small house for 50 Time — sell only one mansion
Things that can go wrong
WarnSome approaches backfire badly and are worth knowing before you try them.
Two ways to play once you have power
TableThe Chosen One has no fixed objective once you reach the top. You can choose peace and design beautiful worlds, or make chaos to destroy them altogether.
| Peaceful play | design and build structures |
| Chaos play | use admin powers to destroy |

Common questions
FAQDo I need to spend Robux to become the Chosen One?
No. Time accumulates by playing, and every admin permission unlocks through Time alone. Spending Robux to buy Time is an option, but it is expensive and earns no respect from other players.
Which server type should a new player join first?
Type /JoinOG for a classic server, /JoinXL for a 100-player server, or /JoinVC for a voice-chat-only server. The permission system works the same way in all three.
Is there a reliable way to get enlighten without waiting a long time?
Asking the Chosen One for enlighten so you can open a shop is a noted reason. Asking for enlighten for a specific gear is another approach.
