RE: Is anyone going to participating in the steemmonsters Tournament?
That's the plan. I'm assuming Alphas will have more value, since they'll be no longer available to the general public. Those who discover the game 6 months from now will be looking to collect a full deck of Alphas, and have to buy them from somebody who knew about the game today.
There may also be tournaments strictly for Alpha cards only, although I don't see them being a huge part of the roster, it still adds to their potential resale value.
Also Aggroed is planning to include a delegation option, where you can loan your cards to others (you maintain full ownership, and can pull the loan at any time).
It may be a viable business model to own a stack of cards and lease them out to people who can't afford to buy them, but want to use them to win tournaments and bootstrap themselves.
The delegation option is very exciting to me now. That actually sounds amazing.
that would be like being able to delegate steem power without any of the downsides of delegating steempower
Correct. If the game gets massive, with 100,000 players, and only 100 guys are delegating out their Alpha cards...
Sounds like a damn good money maker to me.
I can't see how it won't be, to be honest. I'm cornering the flesh golem market.
I go in every now and again and just buy the cheapest 50 or so.
Coming up on 3000 fleshies in my collection. Most of them have been combined into level 9s and 10s. It's just as much marketing as anything else.
Ask anyone who they think of whenever they see a flesh golem :)
