RE: Merry Christmas All Ye Steemians!
We had a setback, stupid NY inspection laws, couldn't make it down to SC. I'm becoming a resident of South Dakota- it's awesome, they do it for those who are full time RVers or travelers, and as long as you don't own a home you qualify. You don't even have to change your driver's license to register a car there once you establish a mailbox, and there's no inspection.
What are you up to? There's a bunch of unofficial steemmonster tournaments going on, low level to high, including one on Monday at 11 am, 10 your time, where bernie has put 2500 steem into the pool for prizes.
Also, do you know how to play Texas hold'em? I met a great group of people who meet every night at nine pm (8 for you) to play on the Nolimitspoker site based on the NLC2 coin- you get twenty of them free for signing up, and it's 5 to play the tourney, prizes are always a Gold foil card and generally some more NLC2 tokens. You just make an account here: https://play.nolimitcoinpoker.com/ Then once you're in click on tournaments and scroll until you find the one that says steemmonster tournament and register. When it starts it should automatically take you to the table. On nights where you're not doing anything, jump on discord and I'll get you to the right place :)
I remember a lot of the guys on the construction crews in NYC had Florida plates on their cars, they said it was because the insurance was lots less, but there were probably lots of other reasons for it too.
I still haven't played any monster games for some reason, even though I have a bunch of cards. It was a fit of FOMO that got me started on them, now I never know if I should try to sell them, or if I should have sold them already, so I hodl. I had more fun opening the packs than was healthy probably, so I backed off the cards cold turkey, and kinda forgot about monster games for a while. Poker! I have a few gambling stories, but they all end with me not being very good at it. ;) I guess I try to save all of my luck for emergencies, and if even once I were to have any luck with gambling, I would suddenly be in a lot of trouble. I know myself too well to start! So now that I've been a complete party-pooper, I must add that I'm glad you're having fun with the monster games! You must be a master warrior by now?
I'm not a gambler, truly, the nlc2 coins are a penny each if you were going to by them, which makes that 5 coin buy in a nickel, haha! Though I hear you on the luck. That's why I would never put any real money into poker, far too much luck required. Steem monsters on the other hand is truly a skill based game, luck doesn't come into it other than of course with the packs- but I don't buy packs anymore, I buy individual cards directly from the peakmonster site to level up, and when you do your daily quests you get free cards :) I'm not too bad, not the best, but I did make it to fifty on the leaderboard last season :)
