🎊Celebrating 11🤑million 💸Value on 🚀dCity🏙️ + Social Aid Office Giveaway!

It has been a while!

I remember starting this game before #COVID kicked in... and back then it was an amazing distraction and motivation to overcome the sad news from the STEEM situation. It quickly served as the ground for all the forthcoming great things #HIVE had and will still continue to provide in 2020.

On this game, I have been meeting a lot of new "faces" and also exposing a bit more of what I am on blockchain. I know I don't participate as a developer as many have their roots valuated... but I am truly a custodian validation addict, if that can be said.

As an experienced (and senior, I hate that word) troubleshooter, most of my career was spent solving problems, most of them, about things I didn't know anything about. As a consequence of this life, you learn a LOT!

In addition you develop over time a niche for trying to solve ANYthing (even when there are any problems)... all you want is to improve stuff, to perfection (almost). This archievement is a great deal to me, because I had never had so much fun and so much value, on a game, in ... life? yep! Sounds carzy but it's true!

Think about it...

Let's consider 11 Million of SIM... at current (non liquid possible, but lets consider it would be) price of 0.00440 HIVE per SIM. That's 48400 HIVE! Which at current price of 0.240 USD, it's an astonishing 11,616 USD!

I never had this much, nor even close, in a online game! The closest to this was when I had 3k Euros worth of Magic the Gathering cards, back in the days!

#HIVEGames

(credit @doze)

Supporting this initiative will be a tremendous help to the #HIVE ecosystem, especially if your area is into the #Blockchain #Games world. For more details of the how this started, check the side image that links to the post.

Any questions, advice requests or comments are welcome, either here or anywhere else you find me.

Since I had no giveaways for a long time on dCity, I am running one in this post.

This will be a very interesting one, as the card to be given, is quite powerful (and valuable). Check the market of dCity for you to have an idea... For me, it hurts a bit to give such valuable prize, but if it's for a great cause, then the pleasure nulls out the effort.

Giveaway details

That's right, a card that is valued on the range of 50 to 80 HIVE!

I am giving away a Social Aid Office! And it will be the lowest of my IDs, which means that for new players, it will be automatically worked by whatever population you have (most likely).

Who is eligible?

Prepared? Everyone! Including people that don't have yet a HIVE account.

For sake of having a ton of trouble with this kind of "rule"... I will be liking this giveaway to twitter too. You are not required to be on twitter to participate, but if there is no other way for me to check you are not "playing" me... you need to understand I am not going to lay that one down, right?

I don't like fighting, but I think it must be a fair game for everyone, in giveaways I mean! 😎

What's needed to be included in the draw?

At the end of this post curation, I will draw the card randomly to a user that has:

  • Chosen a number from 1 to 10000 and that no one else has yet chosen!
  • Have a HIVE account to receive the prize, if you don't have one, get one here 👉 (https://hiveurl.com/rsM84jc), I can help on any questions if needed.
  • Comment the chosen number on this post or the tweet I will be sharing this post with (before curation time ends), mentioning your HIVE account (one account per user). For new users, I accept some delay on creating the account, but if you don't contact me and the account does not get created within 24 hours, I will do another roll until I find a winner!

Bonus

These are the juice parts of the giveaway (but don't entitle you to get the card), where I am usually not rationally thinking and can do completely crazy things...

  • Follow me... here and on Twitter (@forkyishere)
  • Bother me like crazy everywhere with questions! 🤙 😱
  • Engage engage engage! I don't care much about the APR of my votes... sometimes I get as low as 7%! 😎 - As long it's a great comment, I vote it!
  • Sign to any of the other games I have mentioned on previous mentioned post. And TELL ME ABOUT IT!

Rules!

Simple... after the curation end of this post:

  1. I will draw a random number between 1 and 10000
  2. The closest higher number wins.
  • Examples:
    a. Number 69 is drawn and there are two users on the 68 and 70... the 70 wins!
    b. Number 69 is drawn, but this time the two closest are 68 and 71, 68 wins. Got it?
    c. Number 69 is drawn, but this time the two closest are 67 and 71, 71 wins. Got it?
    d. Number 69 is drawn... you choose 69, then you win!

Honorable mention - Experimenting with music.cxc.world

I listened to some hailed engagement (from @currentxchange)... and as a result, decided to give it a try and the result was this very cool app (click on the picture)! Try it out and share any music, videos you are listening to, on your area.

image.png

I have shared a music that it has some interesting history into my childhood.

🖐️HIVE5's!

Have fun, good luck on all the gaming and lots of teaching "how to play" to new players.

Do you know about my new Twitter account?

I just created my account yesterday and don't have any cards yet, so I guess I found this at a good time. I actually found post when I was reading your lessons post. Thanks for the tutorial. I am a bit too new to have any questions yet.

I'll take 7777 - @theroad2freedom

No worries and welcome!

It's actually on the new people that we (people like me) wish to hear the feedback because the content is directed mostly to you. So, any feedback, don't hesitate. Don't bother to smooth things either :) I am cool with any kind of critics.

To clarify, you share music in the location the music was recorded. If you share music in another place it will be moved or removed from the map!

Ups! Thanks for the info. I didn't know that. Then Maybe we need to move the one I shared... I am positive it's not from wellington! LOL I am not sure if they are actually from Paris, France.

Niiiceee! Would be nice to integrate that "curation" voting with a token on HIVE maybe?

I know... there are too many tokens already... but it kind of looks logical to do it.

@forykw yes that was the original plan

I have built out the blue and sol part of the system in Beta, but I think I will remove the need for Purple if I put both the Sol chip and Blue chip (from the paper linked above) on the blockchain as well. It looks like EOS makes the most sense to do this, to me.

Still finalizing the decision what direction to go, but I believe that it will have to have the currency on EOS/Wax blockchain for speed, if nothing else.

I do plan to keep the Hive integration though!! And allow users to log in with Hive.

I see... great plan. Old times... when I attempted to be a BP (EOS Oceania). But we didn't have the experience and capital to make it sustainable like other big ones had and to be honest I thought it would be something easier to do, out of the box (which was not). So, it kind of failed. But lots got learned in the process. I had the node running for 6 months or so I think. Was nice.

Anyway, I think you should at least talk with @atomcollector (creator of the #risingstargame here on HIVE) about possible exposure ideas between the two. If you haven't already talked. Colaboration and cooperation is what HIVE will be best doing and a key factor to add value to HIVE as well for the connected networks, so definitely worth keeping the integration and who knows about the future.

That's a really great idea!! I just sent a message in the discord. Thanks!

I know the feeling of no funding or experience ha ha ha. Glad you learned a lot, I am also!!

So exciting to be in this space, even as a (so far) little fish!!

What do you mean by "when I attempted to be a BP (EOS Oceania)" perhaps you can share a bit more about your project? Would love to learn!

Ah... it was me and another 3 folk that tried to run as Block Producer Node, called EOS Oceania. But for the time we where looking, it didn't work out.

I am on discord if you wish to drop me a message.

dCity was one of the main inspirations for creating Rising Star and I couldn't have done it without @gerber's help.
I have been playing since it was a Discord only game and it's been great to see it become so successful!

I'll choose number 10000 so that even if I lose I win the entry with the highest number! :P

And its really great to have multiple gaming projects being developing within the HIVE ecosystem. For me, a true sense of pride in being able to keep enjoying these games (Rising Star included) while still learning lots, helping new users around and fostering testing to facilitate faster and cheaper development that later results on the improvement of the user experience of #HIVEGames and inneviatably on the #HIVE ecosystem.

Thanks for the participation. Confirmed.

Hello! My number is 2626!
I started on dCity before it had an actual website. I used to be in the top 200 but those days are over. These days I wait a few days to earn SIM (~50-70 daily) to buy a card from the market. I finally have enough workers for all my buildings so now I'm trying to work on getting my income up. I only spend SIM nowadays because my Hive is reserved for eXode purchases. Same deal with Starbits and rising star; I'm slowly rising above the ranks. I also play Splinterlands :)
I was playing piggerricks until I lost all my pigs. Oh well.

I just signed into this game a few weeks ago. I don't yet understand anything about the game and don't have enough hive to get started. It's not my usual type of game, the card thing, so I have no idea what to do.
My lucky number is 9026

Welcome try some cards... you can sell them at any time, and if you keep your city small you don't have much to worry about. Either way, some cards are interesting, because they provide you with other tokens for free! So, something to think about.
