The next season has started, scores have been reset and season reward cards have been distributed. I'm not sure I will keep this experment going, though...

Time To Jump Ship?
The reason I'm considering to stop the experiment is not that I don't like it. Yes, it can be frustrating at times, but I love to come up with creative ways to earn some extra money and build my deck.
It's obvious that I'm not the only one who thinks the time might have come to jump ship before it goes down. I've talked to loads of people who are selling their cards, now they still have a little value, and it only takes a quick look at the marketplace to see there are plenty of them.
I've written a post about my doubts on the blog of one of my Steemmonsters alt accounts. Head over there to find out more.

Indecisive
I'm still indecisive about what to do. Yesterday, I've put all my gold foil cards up for sale.
I'm still hoping Matt and aggroed will come to their senses and make the changes the game needs so badly if it wants to survive.
You would think that after all the negative feedback they have been receiving since the previous season ended, they would have published a post by now. But no, they are too busy testing the automated tournaments on the test server to care about their player's base. If you're not a top 50 player, they don't care anyway.
Meanwhile, dozens of people are leaving Steemmonsters, hoping that the new Drugwars game will live up to its promises that it can be played for free.
I'm going to give it a few days to see what will happen, and which message will be sent from the Steemmonsters founders - if there will be any message at all - before I decide what to do.
I'll leave you with a very depressing image of the Steemmonsters Markt Cap stats of this morning:
Meanwhile, why don't you join Drugwars with me? If you use my affiliate link to sign up, and Steemmonsters makes a 360, and I'll end up staying in the game, it will be another great way to fund the building of my deck.
They seem to have trouble with the signup process every once in a while. If you run into an error, please don't simply refresh, but try pasting my affiliate link in your browser's address bar a bit later. Be patient.
