Haven't been around for a couple years but this is certainly an interesting turn of events. Who would have thought.
*Raises Hand*
I turned down a free character (Friar - Don't know if they ever added any) and a 10 XMR gift to join, as the saying goes "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark", There were alot of very reputable XMR community member's in the game and I didn't want to add any legitimacy by extension. I did want to see it succeed as it was a main project to give a use case while in development besides playing dice.
I wear the moniker "Doomed to see the future and unable to prevent it" for a reason, that is the story of my life. I have watched him manipulate people into playing his bag for him for years and have been dogpiled on for pointing it out and trying to prevent new blood from getting burned and leaving this project as I still believe in the need for XMR (or an equivalent) for freedom of the masses and luckily the eco system has grown enough that this will just be a blip on the screen. If this had unwound a year ago it may have caused irreparable damage. So I think we can all be happy that he manged to last this long before his house of cards came tumbling down.
I feel sorry for you guys who got scammed, but I'm sure no-one went all in on this and those that bought in have large enough holdings that the 20 fold raise has more than covered their losses. I was of the opinion that he was using those funds to dump when the spike hit and would like to know if this is true. Can the accounts that held the in game currency be seen on that linkage explorer?
Anyway since I have been calling him out for at least the last 6 months in the speculation thread (which I doubt anyone paid heed to) I feel I have done all that I could to mitigate n00bs from getting fleeced. You veterans know enough that you didn't need my advice. If I wasn't so lazy without any dog in this fight I'd go back and make a list of those propping him up on all his manipulation and excuse posts and see if they are shill accounts or just fellow scammers or fools.
Lastly, If the community takes over or uses the source to start a new game now that the rotten core is gone I would happi9ly join you guys,
