# Phase 1 - The Split (COMPLETED)
Objective: Less GOBs - Higher Yield
## Phase 1 is complete and will no longer work
## This information is here, purely for historical reasons for people to see how the game was played
### How to play?
Each character on your inscription is called a GOB
Every inscription starts as a single GOB
Every 144 block cycle this will automatically split
The number of GOBs on your inscription will double
## RISK or WAIT
### 1. RISK - Reinscribe
The only way to stop the **SPLIT** is **RISK**
Reinscribe the text **GOB** to **RISK**
At the end of each cycle all **RISKED** GOBs learn their fate
* Survive and freeze in its current tier - stop splitting (good)
* **DIE**
Every cycle the chance of survival improves
Every cycle the reward decreases
Timeline and chance of survival below:

### 2. WAIT
Do nothing and wait for **Phase 2**
## STRATEGY
**RISK** early and survive = **GRAIL** tier GOBs
Don’t risk, save your GOBs and play in **Phase 2**
## WARNING
**Do NOT connect to unknown links**
**Do NOT send to unknown addresses**
You do not need to pay us to play
If someone says you do, it's a scam

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://gameofblocks.gitbook.io/gob/phase-1-the-split-completed.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
