The contact idea is a great idea but they should have made it public and set a buy in limit at the beginning rather than buying the majority of tokens for themselves, the creators are laughing all the way to the bank.
I find this being the main problem with this game. Most of the cheapest tokens have been bought in closed circles (just as a premine) long before the publishing of this ANN. There would be nothing bad in that, would it have done in a more transparent way, and, possibly, also in a more fair way. The fact that these early investors (the devs?) are now slowly selling would prove that they don't really believe in the long term success of the project but they are eager to cash out something as soon as possible. In other words: the game is quite brilliantly thought, but not properly managed.
Hey mate - there were no closed circles. I came in through a YouTuber promoting it. They had the community busy shilling their coin so they could get much needed work done on their smart contract.
If you put in a mere Eth now, at the price it is per coin now (0.0077 Eth) - think of what it can be worth in say 3 months time? I don't make much divs, it's the price I'm interested in.
No close circles, huh? I understand it has been running for quite some time now, one month or so, but this ANN thread was created only 3 days ago. Why would you hide the project from the community for so long? Why would you suddenly make the ANN now, if you forgot to do it for one month? Why would early inverstors already sell on the newcomers? I guess you probably must be an alt of the devs. A pity you could not apply a good idea in a fair way.
I can't speak as to why it didn't occur to the devs to create the ANN until a few days ago. But it's good to keep in mind that this project originated in 4chan as a joke and it's still steeped in jokes and memes. The devs likely have little to no experience doing anything like this - it's new territory for them and they're learning as they go. They definitely haven't been hiding the project, it's made it to the front page of r/cc at least twice that I know of, and they've been completely transparent about every step of the project (including the early buy ins) in their Discord.
The two main devs haven't sold their tokens, and one of them claims they don't intend to ever sell, they're in it for the long-term dividends. If some of the ambassadors have sold, I don't see how that's a bad thing, it just means a larger percentage of the tokens are held by the general community instead of the early investors. The biggest token holders bought into their positions just in the past week.
I understand your concerns, but I don't think there's been any serious mismanagement of how the game has been deployed. Has it been a little haphazard? Undeniably, and the lateness of the ANN points to that fact. But that doesn't take away from the cleverness of the game, which is running successfully, and because it's decentralized will continue to run so long as people are interested in playing.
