SEASON 3: OCT. 18-30, 2023

---

 (UPDATE 11/1/2023: The following rules applied during the initial run 10/18-10/30. Minting will remain open, however the gamification and creator coin distribution is complete. S3 Clout Jacks are simply collectibles now, although there are still a number of Vine of 13 NFTs to be won with a correct Celtic symbol guess. See the bottom of this page to find out which ones are still available.)

🎃 MINT PRICE: .5 DESO (Skip for .13 DESO), Receive .1 DESO in @CloutJacks coin

🎃 MINTING PROCESS: Mint/Bid/Accept 

🎃 CREATOR ROYALTY: 15% Among Team 

🎃 COIN HOLDER ROYALTY: 5% 

🎃 MAX MINT: 500

1. Capture a Clout Jack for .5 DESO and guess which Celtic symbol will appear (13 possibilities).
2. Guess incorrectly? Opt to skip and mint again for .13 DESO.
3. Guess correctly? Special NFTs representing the Vine of 13 Clout Jacks will be dropped once a day. First to correctly guess a particular symbol wins that symbol's Vine of 13 NFT which includes .1D of @CloutJacks coin prior to the .1D purchase given to all Clout Jacks hunters after Halloween. Buyer is also eligible to have their bags pumped on Halloween day!
4. 100% of Skips returns to the project to cover operating costs.
5. 20% of .5D mint cost (.1D) purchases @CloutJacks coin (not valid for Mint Pass holders).
6. On Halloween, Oct. 31st, the names of all correct guessers will be placed on the Wheel of Names. We will spin the wheel once for each of the 13 Celtic Symbols. Each symbol's pot is filled with 80% of the DESO from all the times that symbol appeared in the NFT collection. So correct guessers will have 13 opportunities to have their bags pumped.

Remember, 20% of the .5 purchase price went back to the NFT buyer in @CloutJacks coin, so 80% plus 20% means...

1. Mint = .5D, Total = .5D (Guess Shamrock, Get Celtic Cross)
2. Skip = .13D, Total = .63D (Guess Samhain, Get Bird)
3. Skip = .13D, Total = .76D (Guess Triquetra, Get Triquetra)
4. Accept NFT. 
5. Receive .1D of @CloutJacks coin shortly after Halloween.
6. As first correct guesser of Triquetra, you win Triquetra Vine of 13 NFT. On Halloween, you are also eligible to win one of the 13 pots (80% of sales from all guessed symbols) via Wheel of Names. To explain the example further...

Say 50 Clout Jacks in the entire collection conjure a Triquetra.

50 x .5 DESO = 25 DESO.

80% of 25 DESO = 20 DESO in the pot.

As in Season One, the evil Dr. Osorio is back to flooding the pumpkin patch with a putrid potion in an effort to raise a pumpkin army, but this time his plans have taken a wicked turn!

This past year it appears that Dr. Osorio obtained a fascination with the occult. One late night in the pumpkin patch, he set out to experiment with a new ritual. He began by searching for the largest pumpkin he could find, ultimately stumbling upon a 50 pound behemoth of a gourd hidden far off in a dark corner of the lot. He then pulled out a knife, meticulously carved out a lid with the precision of a surgeon, and filled the pumpkin with water. Next, he carefully placed 13 four foot tall, iron candlesticks around it, each emblazoned with a different ancient Celtic symbol, and set them afire. He then stepped back to admire his work.

Reaching beneath his long, black cloak he pulled out his book of shadows and flipped to a particular page and began reciting, "I call upon the power of life to fill my lungs as I breathe life into the pumpkins of this patch. I give them my spirit and my propensity for evil, while demanding strict obedience. May all live long in service of my dominance." He reached into his cloak once more and retrieved a small, velvety, purple pouch. He emptied its contents into his orange cauldron releasing bits of rosemary, lavender, and chamomile - herbs associated with life - into the water below. From a nearby pumpkin, he tore off it's exceptionally long stem, placed it into the cauldron, and began to stir. He then closed his eyes and began whispering.

"It is time, my children. Rise and join me. One . . . Two . . . Three . . . " All the while he imagined his pumpkin coven rising from the pumpkin patch in all their mischievous splendor. "Four . . . Five . . . Six . . . " A wave of rustling vines became audible throughout the patch. "Seven . . . Eight . . . Nine . . . " One by one, pumpkins began to rise above the ground. They began to transform. Out popped an arm, a leg, some were even adorned in magical clothing. "Ten . . . Eleven . . . Twelve . . . " As if marching to the orders of their superior, they floated into lines, arranging themselves in 13 terrifying rows. Finally, "Thirteen..." Dr. Osorio cracked open his eyes, peered across the patch, and calmly stated, "It is done."

He picked his knife off the ground and carved two giant eyes in the pumpkin cauldron. He stood back for a moment and paused, contemplating his next move. Finally, with a violent thrust, he ripped through the gourd and carved out a mouth. The brew of life bled forth from the mouth, dousing one exceptionally long pumpkin vine. The doctor stood back and watched as the vine began to squirm. Slowly, 13 of the most savage little pumpkin beasts you could ever imagine grew from the vine, kicked it aside, and marched in file to the doctor's side. 

Looking out among the vast rows of his new coven, the doctor announced, "Welcome to this new plane of existence, my children, and prepare yourselves for a most rewarding adventure as we set out to take control of DeSo! Beside me here you see 13 of your kind. These are the mightiest Clout Jacks in the patch. Each of you shares a symbol with one of them and you will declare your allegiance to that particular one. Now wait here for further instructions, my young Jacks, then follow their lead and together we will rule the blockchain! Hahahaa HAHaHaa HAHAHAAA" Hundreds of floating Clout Jacks began bobbing up and down, loudly mimicing the cadence of their master's evil laughter.

Upon catching his breath, the doctor looked down and said, "Come, my Vine of 13, let us plan to unleash the reign of Osorio!" He then removed his wizard hat, flipped it over, and lowered it to the ground. He snapped his fingers above the opening and pointed into the hat creating a glimmering pink vortex within the brim. The 13 pumpkins, each adorned with a particular Celtic Symbol, began marching single file toward the hat. Once there, they jumped and disappeared into the vortex, lost, if only temporary, to the conical hat. 

Pleased with the success of his spell, Dr. Osorio stood up and placed the hat back on his head. He blew out the candles one by one, each time envisioning that symbol's power. The Tree of Life, signifying the journey his minions would undertake for him. The Wheel of Taranis, the god of thunder, which Osorio planned to rain down upon the land. The Bird, giving his creatures the ability to fly. The Triquetra, symbolizing his three-tiered power structure (his coven, the Vine of 13, and himself). Cernunnos, the Celtic god of magic and wisdom to equip his coven with such. And of course, Samhain, the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the darker half of the year. For the doctor, this approach of death is a true reason to celebrate - a true reason to bask in the spirit of Halloween. Plus seven more Celtic symbols that Dr. Osorio had careful chosen to create the most pulverizing pumpkins ever!

This is no time to rest, fellow DeSonians. Our livelihoods are at stake. So be strong, brave hunters, and prepare for battle. It's time to enter the pumpkin patch once more!

Everyday between Oct. 18th and 30th a Vine of 13 Clout Jack will be minted. It will be transferred to the first person to correctly guess its Celtic Symbol. 

Should others stop guessing that symbol? No, and here's why. 

Each symbol's pot will accumulate while minting is open. On Halloween, 80% of each pot will be up for grabs. Everyone who correctly guessed a symbol will have their name added to the Wheel of Names and be eligible to win.

You'll have 13 chances to win!
