This will be short, but I need to vent and chat is not my thing.

Less than half an hour ago there was something called land presale on Splinterlands. First stage, highest discount.

The 'presale' ended in a few seconds, all while it broke the Splinterlands servers. Some somehow got something out of this madness. When my refresh ended (and I hit refresh when the counter hit zero), all plots were sold out. That's less than a few seconds I believe. After which the site went into maintenance mode. I didn't even got to see the purchase button, yet to click it.

The lucky ones participated (and some won) in a lottery prior to the actual presale. But that required more capital than I'm willing to put in Splinterlands, or great cooperation and trust. I was aiming for a tract, at the presale price of 850K DEC. I don't know if I'll be participating in round 2, as that will require buying more DEC to cover for the difference, since I won't be able to win it through gaming in the remaining time. Not to mention we already have a preview of how things will go...

I see the DEC price is plummeting, the reaction is normal after we have seen today, but I haven't sold it yet. I'm definitely left with a sour taste in my mouth though...
