## Overview

Deploy the full LuckPerms rank system across all 12 game servers — subscriber tiers (Awakened through Founder), staff ranks (Builder, Moderator, Admin), MySQL backend for network-wide sync, and Discord role → LuckPerms automation.

The rank structure is fully designed and ready to implement. This task is about execution.

## Subscriber Rank Hierarchy

```
default (no subscription)
  └── awakened ($1 one-time)
      ├── fire_elemental ($5/mo)
      │   └── fire_knight ($10/mo)
      │       └── fire_master ($15/mo)
      │           └── fire_legend ($20/mo)
      │               └── founder ($499 lifetime)
      └── frost_elemental ($5/mo)
          └── frost_knight ($10/mo)
              └── frost_master ($15/mo)
                  └── frost_legend ($20/mo)
                      └── founder ($499 lifetime)
```

## Staff Rank Hierarchy (Parallel Track)

```
builder    ← Holly (unicorn20089) — current
moderator  ← future hires
admin      ← future
owner      ← frostystyle, gingerfury
```

## Automation Flow (The Goal)

```
Player subscribes via Paymenter
        ↓
Stripe webhook fires
        ↓
Discord role assigned automatically
        ↓
LuckPerms sync detects Discord role change
        ↓
In-game rank assigned on all 12 servers instantly
        ↓
Player logs in → correct permissions, prefix, perks active
```

No manual steps. No waiting. Fully automated.

## Phases

**Phase 1 — LuckPerms MySQL Backend (~1 hour)**
- MySQL database setup (Command Center)
- LuckPerms installed on all 12 servers
- All servers pointing to same database

**Phase 2 — Rank Configuration (~2 hours)**
- All subscriber groups created with correct permissions
- Staff ranks created (builder, moderator, admin, owner)
- Inheritance hierarchy set
- Chat prefixes and colors configured
- FTB Chunks + FTB Essentials integrated

**Phase 3 — Discord Sync (~2 hours)**
- Discord bot configured with LuckPerms API
- Role → group mapping table set up
- Paymenter webhook → Discord role automation
- Test full subscribe → rank flow end-to-end

**Phase 4 — Testing (~1 hour)**
- Test account at each tier
- Verify permissions on multiple servers (MySQL sync working)
- Test tier upgrade flow
- Verify Founder dual-inheritance

**Total estimate:** 6-8 hours across 1-2 sessions
