+# Discord Prep Guide for Holly - Arbiter 2.x Launch
+
+Hey Holly! 👋
+
+Michael asked me to send you this prep guide for the upcoming Arbiter 2.x launch. This will handle automatic Minecraft account linking and server whitelist access for subscribers.
+
+---
+
+## What You Can Prep NOW (Before Launch)
+
+### 1. Create #link-your-account Channel
+
+Create a new text channel called `#link-your-account` (or similar name you prefer).
+
+**Pin this message in the channel:**
+
+```
+🔥❄️ **Link Your Minecraft Account**
+
+To access our whitelisted Minecraft servers, link your account using:
+
+/link YourMinecraftUsername
+
+Example: /link Notch
+
+**Note:** This feature is coming soon! The /link command will work once our new subscription system launches. We'll announce when it's ready!
+
+Questions? Ask in #support or DM a Trinity member.
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. Verify Subscription Tier Roles
+
+Make sure these **6 roles** exist in Discord with these EXACT names:
+
+**Monthly Subscription Tiers:**
+- **Awakened** - $1/month
+- **Elemental** - $5/month
+- **Knight** - $10/month
+- **Master** - $15/month
+- **Legend** - $20/month
+
+**Lifetime Tier:**
+- **Sovereign** - $499 ONE-TIME (lifetime access, not monthly!)
+
+**Important:** The Sovereign tier is a ONE-TIME payment of $499 for lifetime access. It is NOT $50/month. This is the premium "I'm all-in on Firefrost forever" tier.
+
+---
+
+### 3. Check Role Hierarchy
+
+Make sure the bot role (Arbiter) is positioned ABOVE all subscription tier roles in Server Settings → Roles. This lets the bot assign/remove roles properly.
+
+**Role order should look like:**
+1. Trinity roles (top)
+2. Arbiter bot role
+3. Sovereign
+4. Legend
+5. Master
+6. Knight
+7. Elemental
+8. Awakened
+9. Other roles (below)
+
+---
+
+### 4. Set Channel Permissions (Optional)
+
+If you want to set up subscriber-only channels now, you can! For example:
+
+- **#whitelisted-servers** - Only visible to people with ANY subscription role
+- **#server-status** - Only visible to subscribers
+- **#founder-lounge** - Only visible to Sovereign tier
+
+You can test this by:
+1. Create the channel
+2. Go to channel permissions
+3. Remove @everyone's "View Channel" permission
+4. Add each subscription role with "View Channel" permission
+
+Test by giving yourself a role temporarily and checking if you can see the channel!
+
+---
+
+### 5. Discord Onboarding (Optional but Cool!)
+
+If you want to set up Discord's onboarding feature:
+
+1. Go to Server Settings → Onboarding
+2. Add a step: "Link your Minecraft account to access servers"
+3. Mention the `/link` command in the description
+4. This will show up when new members join!
+
+**Note:** This is optional - the `/link` command will work whether or not you set up onboarding.
+
+---
+
+## What to WAIT On (Don't Do Yet!)
+
+❌ **Don't test the `/link` command** - It doesn't exist yet! It will be created when Arbiter 2.x launches.
+
+❌ **Don't manually link accounts** - There's no database to store them yet. Everything will be automatic once the system launches.
+
+❌ **Don't touch Paymenter** - Michael will handle the backend webhook configuration.
+
+---
+
+## Timeline
+
+Michael and Claude are building the new Arbiter 2.x system. It will:
+- Automatically assign Discord roles when someone subscribes
+- Let users link their Minecraft account with `/link`
+- Automatically whitelist them on all Minecraft servers
+- Handle subscription cancellations with grace period
+
+**You don't need to manually manage whitelists anymore** - it will all be automatic! 🎉
+
+---
+
+## Questions?
+
+If you have questions about any of this, ping Michael in Discord! This is all prep work to make the launch smooth when it happens.
+
+Thanks for being awesome! 💙🔥❄️
