What It's Like Having A Runi....
So about a month ago, @splinterlands introduced the first 'generative NFT' playable asset in the game. I didn't even know waht that meant but apparently, it's SUPER important in the NFT space lol
I'm sitting here thinking.....I'm getting a cool card that has super limited supply and some awesome use case in battles, while others are losing their mind because it's 'generative'....
Basically what it meant was, every single 'Runi' card would be unique. Different look, different traits, but every single one would be a 1 of 1. And as a Splinterlands collector first....I had to grab my whitelist spot.
That was about a month ago....
A few days ago, Runi was launched on OpenSea (the big boy market of the NFT world) and had a huge launch. It hit #2 in volume on launch day and continues to impress as it's an actual NFT with use case....Apparently this is very rare on Ethereum and all it's VM chains lol.
Ahhhh Ethereum....
Have I mentioned how much I hate it lately?
So here I was, launch day, with my whitelist spot, and the 0.19 ETH needed for the purchase of my very own Runi. Problem was, I couldn't get my stupid Metamask to link properly with both Splinterlands and OpenSea.
I went directly to Splinterlands for a possible fix and they gave me some instructions that I followed but still couldn't get things to link up....
But after smashing my keyboard a few times and about 2 hours after the launch, I finally 'minted' Runi #971!
And here he is....
In terms of 'rare traits' my guy is about as common as it gets lol
Regular foil is meh, would have been nice to have a different color background....And a few of his properties seem to be low in supply. Ash Mournstar is by far, my favorite trait of #971 lol
But regardless, what I'm really excited about is this....
It's a 1 of 1. There will never be another Runi #971 with this look and traits.
But most importantly, this:
The actual use case for this card!
It's a neutral monster with some pretty decent damage to go along with 'Opportunity'. The self-resurrection, true strike and reflection shield are massive bonuses and I can't wait to stick this guy into some line ups and see how he plays.
We're not sure exactly when that will happen, but I just have to tip my hat once again to the Splinterlands team for coming up with such a cool project. And I get it, I'm in the minority when I say I hate Ethereum lol But I completely understand why they did this...
To give players a very unique asset but also to 'promote' the game to a huge audience.
Awesome stuff, my Runi is here and I can't wait to play some matches with him in my line ups!

Thats definitely pretty cool man. Will be cool to use in battles surely, cool abilities. Being neutral is nice, and the character looks pretty badass too.

I am feeling a lot of emotion not having one. Trying to gather some ETH now.
Cool runi. Glad you got one for sure.

I must say I am a little bit jelly! I want a RUNI too! I might get myself one on the open sea. I completely missed the whitelist sale... that is because I hate to transact on Ethereum...

It's awful lol But once you get everything set up in OpenSea, it's pretty straight forward!

Congratulations on the Runi card. I would just skip out on it because I don't want to deal with ETH at all.

It's so bad lol Like another level of awful.
!CTP
Sheesh the guy looks dope. I love the self resurrection ability. Nice one
It'll be so cool to see that in game play live!
!CTP
That is pretty cool though
Yeah for sure, I think no mater what, the card will be fun to use.
!CTP
coming back after my month long break is nice to see people hyped about something Hive related again :)
Oh man, and Noise is back too!!!! lol
!CTP
noise cash ? that things is dead like the dodo :)
Noise.App.....Seems to be there new thing lol
ohhh I need to catch up it seems :)
Just the whole concept already of making a card that is being able to be spread out over different ecosystems drawing attention is already really cool. Your runi is...we should call him Joe ;) But a nice Joe though!
Literally the hatred for eth and metamask is one of the main reasons I didnt get in involved in this. So much anger with eth transactions
ha ha ha I'm not alone! Yeah Ethereum is just awful on so many levels.
!CTP
This seems quite a great card to use in the game :-)
Can't wait to play with it and try the card out!

Nice Runi and I must say the different parts actually kinda match.
If I recall correctly, when you use your Runi in-game, it will be one that is minted, so even if your opponent also has a Runi, it will look totally different from yours. That's gonna be so awesome to see.
I think that's how it'll work....The Runi you own, will be the one you use.
!CTP
that definitely is a powerfull card to play with!
!1UP for making me realize this. I wonder why they sold it for Eth but did not thought of this. This is the very best part of your post for me. Another marketing strategy I learned from Splinterlands. 😊

LOL!
I love the fact that I now a bunch of NFTs that have USE CASE thanks to Splinterlands! That, along with the APR on staked SPS is what eventually drew me into the game after months of resistance.
Congratulations on minting your own unique neutral monster.
Its certainly an interesting concept - will be interesting to see how the price changes over time !
