All Vouchers Gone!

avatar

Gone!

Yeah, I wanted to do a click-bait. This morning at the time of Splinterlands AMA (Town Hall), I used up all my vouchers. I thought I will only get about 2000 Chaos Legion Packs. However, as I am just getting more excited about this pre-sale, not only I used up all my vouchers but I also went to the market at bought about 273 vouchers to get me to the next tier level. As of right now I have 4125 Chaos Packs and that gives me a ranking of 20 in the leaderboard as of now.

I am not that much worried about ranking, as I still think more people will buy these pack on the last day, and that will drop my ranking. Perhaps if I can be in the top 50, that would be enough to have a meaningful position in the game. One of my regrets was not to participate in the Beta sale, and Untamed kickstarter. Also I barely bought any Untamed pack in the beginning. I did buy a lot towards the end, but it was never enough I felt. I still do not have certain Untamed cards maxed. I am not going to do the same mistake with the Chaos Legion packs. I will max all cards 2X and then have some spare. This is my goal.

TownHall and the Lore!

Lately I am listening to most of the AMAs (we will start to call them TownHall). There are a lot of things I like about these now. I particularly enjoy how much the Splinterlands Team has grown lately. Almost everytime I get to learn about a new team member. Meeting are very organized now. A good summary is published with full Video link immediately after the meeting:

https://peakd.com/hive-13323/@splinterlands/splinterlands-town-hall-summary-november-5th-2021-9am-eastern

I especially enjoyed Matt's comment here :

I am always a supporter on how this particular game developers are balancing the game with respect to incentive for stakeholders and incentive to common players. They typically put both of the ahead of their personal profits. Kudos to both Matt and Aggy (and the rest of the team) for that. I like that the guilds or other individual with large purchases can have a way to do that efficiently. Borrowing Aggy's words, this to me is nothing but a 'white glove service'. I like this idea a lot.

I also really like how organized and enriched the lore have become:

https://peakd.com/hive-13323/@splinterlands/tome-of-chaos-the-collection

Art was always excellent, but now the depth of the story of the lore is giving the art a new deeper perspective. I highly recommend people to read up on the lore, it is only make your game play more enjoyable.

Ok, your title got me wondering how many vouchers are still available on the market. I see on Hive Engine that there are well over 2000 vouchers still available under $19 (17.7 Hive).

Good! Then it worked!! At least on you :)

Yeah, there are a lot of vouchers available still. I hope most of them get used soon though. As this is the best use of the vouchers one can have for a while. I am trying to get as many Dr Blights as I can.

As you know very well, there are 10+ people with 1M + SPS staked each. So there is no end to this...

I have about 300K liquid, so approaching 1M SPS total.

You are a beast! That is awesome. I had to scrape together some money just to buy 12 more vouchers so I could pick up 100 packs. Talk about next level. I've been in Splinterlands since the beginning, but clearly I didn't go as hard as you. Congrats. I hope you have some great luck when you open them. Might need to pick up some potions for that many packs!

Indeed there isn't! You thinking you might open them in small batches like once a week or something? I think I have enough potions to cover the 110 packs I have which is good. I imagine you are going to try and pick more up in the general sale that doesn't require vouchers too right?

Yes. I think I will need a minimum of 10K packs to max 2 decks. So I will have to buy at the general sale too.

You can't "open" a voucher. You can only open a pack, when opening is allowed on December 8th.

People who are saying that are say from past experience. As most VC experts will tell you “past performance doesn’t guarantee future results” :)

2X maxed cards are a nice goal, but is it possible with 4k packs? @tarazkp mentioned he heared around 5K for one maxed. https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@tarazkp/re-szpb-r2efbo

I think his plan this time around is to buy a stack in the open sale also and maybe buy some key cards to make sure he has 2x max covered.

No it’s not possible to max 2 decks with 4000 packs. You will need about 10K pack for that. That’s my goal. So I likely have to buy from general sale.

Will you see how it goes in general and see if buying "key cards" from the market is better to max, or do you think the rental market will be strong enough for the extras anyway?

Yes, Vouchers will still be needed the next round. But with double emission it probably will hurt voucher price. Also no dr blight later

Short term market movements are irrelevant.

The long term value of a network, including a blockchain, is based its number of active users.

98% of Hive transactions and active users are Splinterlands players.

The Hive blogging platform does not have enough users to be pushing people away.

Splinterlands has already moved from the Steem blockchain to the Hive blockchain and could move again.

If you know anything about the ideological views of the Splinterlands founders you will know that they are not big on censorship or suppression of alternative views.

This says it all really. Hive is moving on from a blogging platform - it's not content, upvoted or downvoted, that will spotlight the blockchain.

Splinterlands has already moved from the Steem blockchain to the Hive blockchain and could move again.

Could, but unlikely as Hive is a good match for this game. The move from Steem was a reluctant one if I remember correctly.

If you know anything about the ideological views of the Splinterlands founders you will know that they are not big on censorship or suppression of alternative views.

I've met them both, although the topic was neither content or downvotes.

While we are all obviously very happy about Splinterlands success and the wealth it has brought, it is important to not get carried away or think that the blogging aspect of Hive is not an important, core part of the ecosystem.

Hive is a suitable chain for Splinterlands, but so are other chains based on it.

Splinterlands could get so big it may need to run forks of Hive just to cope with the growth. The SPS token provides ways to create new decentralised chains with token ownership based on SPS holdings.

Hive needs to continue to attract new users to its core, blogging function and show growth in this area to survive long term. Otherwise it will become completely dependent on Splinterlands and thus vulnerable.

I see dangerous hubris in the comments about how well the Hive price is doing and why should we care about people leaving Hive because their posts have been downvoted to zero because a whale doesn't like them.

Hive needs to convert its new Splinterlands sourced users to regular bloggers, not scare people away.

This is what is in the long term interests of everyone with a significant Hive stake.

Exactly. Frot is a spam artist and a thief. A dead weight on the system. He is on powerdown on all his accounts. He wants to go to blurt. I am just making his job easier. Don’t worry about him.

You are making serious personal defamatory accusations here.
Please provide evidence that they are true.

His powerdowns and move to Blurt appear to be the RESULT of your auto downvote.

If you think that forcing people you don't like off Hive and onto Blurt is a good thing for Hive then understand that many other good people on Hive are watching what is happening and are starting to look at Blurt and other platforms.

If I have to go to Blurt to see first hand testimony of protests in New Zealand because you have forced @frot and others off Hive then I will fire up my neglected account there and start posting on both platforms.

I personally think its is important to have downvotes as well as upvotes but auto downvotes are an abuse of the system.

I agree that the post you linked to above is a personal attack.

However this post https://peakd.com/proofofbrain/@frot/anti-vaxer-march-in-wellington is a quality post with original content informing people what is going on in NZ.

This is where I have a problem with auto downvoting.

Please don’t worry about him. He is unwinding and leaving hive for a while. Just let him go. No loss.

By the way your investment in hive is doing very well. Hive is trading near all-time-high.

Frot have been farming and funneling hive out for many months. I have a couple of developers looking into his accounts as everything is public

I am not sure what you mean by farming or what is wrong with someone moving out their Hive.

If a post is plagarised, spam or personal abuse downvotes are appropriate.

However downvoting perfectly OK content on autodownvote of an account is not OK.

Also these withdrawal transactions appear to be the RESULT of all his posts being nuked to zero by your auto downvote.

If you have a problem with particular content then downvote it and explain why in a comment.

But don't auto downvote an account that contains at least some legitimate content.

This is contrary to the purpose of content curation (to promote good content and demote bad content) and is itself a personal attack.

Pulled a sneaky one with that clickbait, eh 😂

I insta-clicked on the like "Oh my God, did ya guys already purchased EVERYTHING? I didn't even had the chance!"

Anyway, I went to Hive-Engine and there are way less available vouchers than I thought before: currently, all the sell market depth is only 3,870 packs. S0meone with 10k USD could buy the whole market for himself.

Phew 600,000 SPS staked that is straight gangsta. Congrats on that and securing a shit ton of packs lol that is gonna be some fun times when we can open these bad boys up.

I was just lucky enough to secure 52 packs and get one Doctor Blight, however it may have been better to flip my vouchers and just get the packs instead we will see.
Either way I can't wait till Dec 8th to start opening some of these gonna be hype.

Not speaking for my financial talent but i did beat you this time in buying vouchers, a negative ranking number maybe (but i got most of them for a decent prize) - damn you still got more packs by far but that is the difference between a whale and a former Orca that powered down to grab some Credits for a good Hive prize.

I hate to play you given I know @xawi is behind it, so a 99% loss for me.
