Good Day to all Splinterlands players! (and people of HIVE! 😜) A new week always means a new entry in my "weekly diary". (although the day of the week I post in varies due to how busy my schedule is 😅. These past weeks have been rather hectic for me 😭.)

This is now the 25th consecutive week writing in my Diary (of sorts) detailing my Splinterlands Journey ever since I started this game. Of course, this also marks my 25th weekly giveaway! 🎉🥳🎊

Following the excitement of finishing in the Diamond League for the first time ever in the previous End of Season, this week has been pretty much a wreck for most people's holdings in the cryptosphere 📉💸.

The UST-Terra Luna implosion caused massive ripple effects (more like tidal waves actually 🌊🌊🌊) and HIVE and SPS were not spared. Fortunately I wasn't affected too much by it, and I'm not panicking too. Just going to hunker down and Diamond Hands HODL 💎🙌🏻.

For those of us who were, many of whom are people you and I know, please do know that you've an entire community here for you. WAGMI. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

In other news, I finally managed to to pull a Legendary Djinn Oshannus from my daily reward chests (and nope, "unfortunately" it wasn't a gold foil 😜). This makes my "self acquired" collection of Rewards cards complete! 🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀 Now for the harder and even more elusive task of pulling a Gold Foil version of every single reward card 🤣 - which will be a statistically nearly impossible task. (It's a 0.008% chance to pull a legenday gold foil, in case you were wondering 😉)

No week goes by in Splinterlands without some news event happening though. And here's my pick of some of the most interesting ones in my opinion. 📰📰📰

🤑💰💸 Buy CL Packs/Pots with DEC 🤑💰💸

Look at what was just announced by Yabapmatt, co-founder of Splinterlands! 😱🤑🤑🤑

---

everyone we just wanted to let all of you know that we are planning to re-enable the purchasing of Chaos Legion packs and Potions in the Splinterlands shop using DEC tokens at a fixed rate of 1000 DEC per $1 USD with our next release planned for Tuesday, May 17th.

We had removed this option from the shop when the external DEC market price increased above that rate to avoid players mistakenly spending the wrong token, but now it is important that we re-enable this option as the ability to purchase Splinterlands assets with DEC at a fixed rate is the primary mechanism that provides value to the token.

---

This is huge.

• It basically gives DEC a floor price of 1000 DEC - $1. I know that DEC was much higher, but it was always meant to go back to this price. The events of the past 48 hours pushed DEC below this artificial peg. With this in place, the price of DEC has gone back up again.

• We now have another use case of DEC even after the airdrop ends.

• I can also anticipate an uptick in the number of Chaos Legion packs sold and hence, the release of the airdropped Legendary Summoners. ✨🧙🏻‍♂️✨

All in all, this is (in my opinion) another good move from the Splinterlands team. 👍🏻

Weekly Chaos Legion Sales Tracker

And now, for an update on the number of Chaos Legion packs sold thus far. About 150k sold since last week. Still not too bad. That is still quite an amazing sales figure! 😄

---

WOW!!! TRIPLE the sales figures from the past few weeks numbers. I've been tracking the sales every week and it has consistently been an average of around 50k packs each week. Just one day after the DEC announcement and the sales figures have tripled!!! 😱🤑 I can forsee the Chaos Legion packs selling out really quickly if this sales numbers continue to hold.

---

Here's the current count (as of the moment I'm writing this post) of the number of packs sold, and we're 520k away from the 9 million mark! 😄 Which also means everyone has a chance to get in now and grab more packs for the remaining airdrops! 😜

My fingers are crossed! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Hopefully I'll get some amazing luck for the next round! 🍀🍀🍀

✨🎁✨Weekly GIVEAWAY✨🎁✨

The next card for GIVEAWAY #25 is...

✨🎁✨Choose One of these Reward Cards✨🎁✨

Instead of continually going through my list of common reward cards I can afford to give away each week, I've decided to let YOU CHOOSE WHICH YOU PREFER! 😜

This is probably more helpful, especially for new players who join my giveaways, as they can then finetune their decks with what they need (if they're lucky enough to win 😉🍀).

Of course, all these options are while stocks last, if I'm unable to offer you the card you've chosen should you win it, I will send you one of these cards in the list instead. They are all very useful for new players, and even veterans who level these cards up to high levels will find them pretty strong too! 👍💪
