Splinterlands: FOMO'ing On Rebellion
So I decided to burn my 10k DEC'ed Edith Emberstar to purchase a rebellion pack. I also sold some SPT and raised some money from my hive-engine tokens to get about 15k DEC altogether.
I was already holding about 8.5 vouchers, and I couldn't raise any more money, and I didn't want to burn another Gladius card. I have only one gold foil now, and it's a common card. My Edith Emberstar was an epic card so that valued it at 10K.
On the surface, it felt like a terrible decision to burn a gold foil
....but then, I had to look into my assets to flip whatever I felt was surplus to requirement, because it's currently hard to raise money externally to participate in this presale. I feel that choosing one asset over another in the splinterlands ecosystem is always going to be a thing, especially for someone with limited funds, looking to maximize what they have at hand, plus there's no way one can make little gains.
Taking risks is part of the game,
....plus the only external value these cards have is the DEC they come with, so it was good to flip this one to purchase these packs. I don't know what the content of the packs might be like, they might end up not matching their purchase dollar value, this is the reality, but I'm willing to risk that to get the experience of what these Rebellion generation of cards will be like.
I could probably have waited and used the 10k DEC to buy the cards when they were available in the market. This option was also on the table, but I've decided not to do this. I'll see if I've made a wrong decision or not.
So, I bought only 3 packs, and the vouchers I have, I have 2K DEC left, before the end of October, I might have gotten another 3K DEC to purchase one additional pack. I have ruled out any chances of getting any rare gems or drops because I cannot meet the figures. I heard that bonuses were only given from 100 packs upwards.
Unfortunately, this wasn't the case, so I'm not eligible for any airdrops. However, the sales begin on the 5th of December and continue till next year I guess, maybe the market might respond positively enough for me to at least buy some more packs.
From what I gathered, splinterlands INC has raised over $465k in pack purchases, at the moment the sales might have hit over $500k. Quite the revenue for the company to put a lot of things in place.
I feel that the presale comes with a lot of FOMO
Why?
the whales are dipping their hands in the soup and spending thousands of dollars. This is why I feel the regular sale might have reduced patronage.
The rush might soon diminish. But again, to pull in $465k in over 24 hours in sales in the bear market is unbelievable, and it's a testament to the fact that players are counting on splinterlands to repeat that monstrous success/run it achieved in 2021 in this coming bull market.

Hmm sounds interesting. I’ve reloaded my account. I’ll start playing now :)
That's interesting
Splinterlands is a game where strategic decision-making is crucial, and it's important to focus on assets that match your objectives.
Indeed, true that.
Yeah man, enjoy your day brother.
This perfectly captures the essence of FOMO in the crypto and gaming world.
It's a high-stakes game, and sometimes you have to make tough choices to potentially reap greater rewards. I admire your willingness to take calculated risks, especially when it comes to burning a valuable card like Edith Emberstar.
Thank you for the comment. Yes, I had to make that choice, I think it was for the best, now I have to wait to see if it pay off. I haven't been stable and I've been really saddened off and on, but I'll soon check your stories soonest

I love the fact that you are taking this opportunity while it is still very early
Nice one
Kudos!
Good luck with the 3 packs. It's tough right now in the bear market to get funds and I don't think we had that much time to prepare either. I am glad that I have some HBD in savings to draw on but it takes some more time before it gets withdrawn.
Yes, completely agree my friend
I will buy maximum 20 packs during the presale then focus on cards and airdrops but only when the general sale starts.

Nice decision while it's not too late
Not sure if you could've made the threshold, but you could've had a guaranteed rare promo card airdrop if you purchased 10 packs in one transaction during the presale. You can still have an airdrop, even the GF one, or the legendary promo card, but the chances are lower with 3 or 4 packs.
Whenever new things are introduced into a project, it brings people's interest back to the project in a very good way, so we're seeing that it's not even in the market yet and people have taken it. has started buying so it is very good for this project.
Splinterlands is the coolest game I had the chance to join.
I hope more players will join before the end of the year.
Peace
