The crazy thing is I was ready to quit blogging and just stop everything due to a conflict that occurred on the Splinterland's discord servers. There was an altercation where I was trying to do a favor for someone and it ended up greatly backfiring in my face when the dude just kept rushing me when it was his funds that didn't work or was stuck in limbo. During the whole time he was just being very disrespectful so I sort of chose a poor response to the whole situation. That's when a community member stepped in and just gave the dude a random GF card worth more than what he had "paid" for which that lead me to be infuriated because he was literally rewarded for being a bad person. When a Moderator stepped in saying that I needed to explain myself as if it did not just feel like I was fighting a whole community myself over $15... (which by the way I sent 1.5k dec worth more than the 15$ at the time to maverick to giveaway as it wasn't about "ripping" someone off but teaching an individual a lesson). Well I won't go too deep into the story but that is the TLDR and what to spend this post on more uplifting messages/action steps.
What this post is about is how I ended up back into blogging and before I start I'd like to start by saying Gary Vee is the reason I first started on this amazing deep dive into crypto's and this NFT world. https://discord.com/invite/veefriends is where his community is and if you guys do not know who he is yet, you should deep dive as that man is truly remarkable and someone I look up to and aspire to become like in this development process at the same time maintaining and figuring out what my personal identity was. This guy truly saved my life when I was at my darkest of times...

(Oh yeah most people give their link cause of what's in it for them, but for me its just seeing the process happen anyone who signs up through that link just message me here or on discord and I'll delegate you several cards as I'm not in it for the 500 credits lol)
https://discord.gg/EcYe5mmM (Splinterland's discord here to make it easier for some people)
The real NFT gaming and deep dive really started here. It was my guild members at Infinity who really made me stay in Splinterlands because I bought it as a crypto play a couple months back but got locked out and had a REALLY bad customer service experience so I quit... but after some time in Axie and Gods Unchained I ended up coming back to Splinterlands but this time I decided to give the community more of a chance. This definitely has one of the mort robust communities out there with many people who have a great heart. I am just choosing to no longer participate in the discord due to the recent fiasco which angered me tremendously, but I still support this game as a whole as they are really doing some revolutionary stuff and has a far more intricate system them most people realize or understand to appreciate. Hope to see some of you at https://dygycon.com/ (hosted by splinterlands themselves) if not go check it out.
Next step of the journey leads us here into the hive.blog network which is truly remarkable in and within itself. Off the gate I was introduced to the terminal in which I met some truly amazing people (Kitty, @stayten, Wes, and @brittandjosie). There I ended up learning so much about this wonderful ecosystem we literally stayed up talking lambos on magic carpets... which later Kitty even turned to an emote. Next up we go to the Pizza discord where @thebeardflex , @hivetrending, @dibblers.dabs , and many others are always making it rain <3 in the channel, but I think the most important rain is the amount of gifs that just brings a smile to my face. I think the little details are often what is missed in this evolving world of statistics and insanity. We aren't simply just 1's and 0's but people behind the community screens with real feelings and emotions. Not to mention getting to meet people like @flauwy over at 1UP who supported me early on and not to mention @traciyork for all she does for the community for hivepud (She even reached out to me to make sure I was okay and kept making sure if I wanted to turn down the award lol never thought I had to fight to turn something down before, but that little extra step is what makes me think she is amazing not for what she is giving out or what she does for this community at large)
discord-terminal.com
https://discord.gg/hivepizza
Now the reason for this next section and why I used this particular picture is after leaving my guild behind not because they did anything wrong, but in a way I was a bit hurt as during the whole fiasco I was standing up for over $15... it almost felt as I had to tackle on the whole community alone, but within the guild people like kingtaco, zephyrzero, quizzlescoop, @sgbonus, and many others that participated really helped push me through all of this so I ended up leaving the guild to them so that it would be in good hands. As I explored the top guilds Splinterlands has to offer it lead me to check out The Guild of Neoxian which lead me to their element.io and chatgroup where I won a random guess the number contest which qualified me for a $20 upvote from @Neoxian aka Mr. Dragon (Maybe this was a trap to get me blogging again and I guess it worked cause it really sparked a topic of discussion for me) If I understand correctly this entitles me to $10 of it as I will be getting half so $10 = to 50+ of the pictured cards up top so go ahead and leave a comment with your username and the card you'd like above and I'll be giving the first 50 people that respond to this the card of their choice (please include a second option in case I run out of the first and maybe even a third option if not I will select randomly for you)
UPDATE: Neoxian decided to downvote the upvote given and downvote multiple of my posts because he disagreed with one of my posts just revealing his actions and me leaving guild.
Honorable mentions as I started discovering random projects especially ones like Dracodice (https://discord.gg/VjfdbMnt) I was just shy of 6 wax to purchase a 5 major pack bundle so I can be qualified for the many collabs that they had. Only if I had learned about them sooner and decided to write about this so can get them a bit more awareness but the team there especially Zach, mrfunguy, and many more amazing people on that server. I think when looking at a project the collabs they have says a lot as their visions towards the future, but not only that it wasn't a game that was going to b e here in 2022-20??, but a game we could see already being made and can see live videos of them playing it. Deep diving into their collabs lead me to also find out about Ken at https://brobros420.com/ who is out there making some moves looking at a bigger picture I'd look at the altcoin he has at https://wax.alcor.exchange/ ($Kenn) NFA but when finding projects I like to back the people/team behind it more than anything else in this whole space of mystery and founders using simple pfp as their displays.
That's just something to show you I'm not just someone that talks about a project, but I back it up with my own decisions and actions. You can actually go convert on alcor and get a slight discount vs paying the $420 in wax at the current moment at least but who knows if it will stay that way.
My goals is simply to build a brand/communities and I did not write this for the simple upvote, but this topic was truly something that I found exceptional important and I hope it was able to open your eyes on hunting for the right communities and projects to join. Sometimes exploring these spaces can be rather mysterious and quite stressful at times so I hope this has helped some of you break out your shell just a little bit and explore some of these wonderful communities. I know sometimes all of these projects can get a little bit expensive and time consuming, but you just have to ask yourself where you want to be and the risks you are willing to take.
All of this gave me more confidence in splinterlands and the crypto space as a whole so I will be scaling at least 5 digits into this game not only as a thank you for this rabbit hole into infinity, but because I believe if this team does it right it can literally cement itself in history as one of the biggest blockchain games.
hnpvu.wam is my wax wallet in case you would like me to look into other wax projects but at the moment dracodice and brobro will probably consume most of it. (ALL of what I receive here I will be writing about and giving it back just make sure to post in here please or pm me about it as I have quite a bit of transactions going on at any given day)
I plan on using this platform as a way to continue to expand the Brand I am trying to build and as a way to #tradeitforward all the little rewards along the way and as a way to develop/grow myself into the person I want to be and be proud of.
Glad to see you come into PYPT today and share this post! Hope you had a great time! 😀
Yeah it was a lot of fun... Was able to learn and meet quite a bit of different people and be exposed to different ideas. The one Laura did about the broken glass was so symbolic and inspirational for me
!PIZZA
love that you're back and seeing the BEST part of Hive - community!! hehehe
really enjoying listening to you in PYPT! :) and yes - you found some great people that you mentioned above!!!! :)
You won't see that kind of thing over in !PIZZA. I'm glad you decided to stick to it and keep blogging. Look forward to seeing more posts!
Yeah !PIZZA is an amazing channel
Terminal and pizza are my 2 main channels right now I use, but sometimes it does feel a bit much for me as it sometimes feels like I should engage but with only being a month in splinderlands and learning and navigating this crypto space and nft only 2 months it all adds up...
You seem to have made really connections with people who are active daily participants of Hive. More than what I did over four years to be honest. lol. Well done. You also seem like you know what you looking for and helpfully you get it. If no one officially greeted you yet on Hive here is my greeting. !LUV !PIZZA !WINE !BEER !invest_vote
If you be so kind I like a Pelacor Conjurer, and second option Pelacor Bandit. Thanks!

Let's just say its been an incredibly eye opening month and REALLYYYYYYYY exhausting. Not so much cause of the hive situation, but learning this crypto space and gaming has been rather intimidating, but I'm trying to tackle it to the best of my abilities... If it wasn't for Gary Vee, I don't think I would have ever set out on this journey so I really owe everything to him.
Yeah I guess I was rather blessed into running to some of the people, but honestly it really doesn't matter to me who you are I try to treat everyone the same (Well to a degree as obviously I do give precedence to people I have already established a relationship with)
Appreciate it lol oh man that's a trap now I feel like I have to research luv and wine/beer/investvote at a later date hahaha I know my !PIZZA though had some great laughs and joy from that channel
7? man they need to keep posts in order lol counting is hard
Hey bro, thank you so much for the mention. I'm really glad that you're back to blogging. It's really nice that you were able to find other communities and people who are here to help you. It's really nice to read the thing you write. I guess reading your blog will keep me updated with you and see how your vision and goals in life will push through. Hope everything is going well with you!
You know you can always pm me privately? I'm always going to be here for you guys at times it may just take a little longer to respond as I seem to spreading myself thinner and thinner, but you know sometimes things take a relentless effort to be able to be pushed to reality. Lol literally just woke up so this was quite a pleasant message to wake up to.
!PIZZA
I've told you that you'll make awesome blog posts! I'm glad you found the spark that let you do the posting again and could explain yourself more clearly and openly to everyone!
I'm sorry for your incident with the splinterlands members, but as you mentionned, there are a lot of amazing peoples in the community, dont let the toxic minority put you down. I do hope you'll find the joy in interacting and discovering the vast ecosystem we're in and your road to infinity
Wait I know nothing about WAX haha I guess I need to explore it as well!
!PIZZA
PS: I didn't pay attention to the giveway only after reading for the second time :') If it still up, Pelacor conjurer or pelacor bandit.
Lol thanks yeah it was an odd day of a lot of things almost as it was a wormhole sucking me back into this... but to be honest these posts are rather draining... I'm curious as in time will it be far more bearable or some become enjoyable. Writing this one was rather exciting, but for me I feel rather obligated to read the messages and respond...
Yeah... The community does have a LOT of amazing people as well I didn't meet yet or have not chose to put more focus on instead of the toxic individuals... Well I guess that was one of the hurtful things as it wasn't just the pos that got rewarded for being like literal scumbag, but the people chiming in and their words and I won't mention their names, but the whole process was rather hurtful and made me question why I even doing what I was doing to begin with...
Sorry I digress I really should just drop it, but it is hard... especially I guess as that is a part of my personality and who I am?... Lol I like what you did there and yeah wax is a rather cool blockchain
What is your username I'll send you over the card. Yeah there is no stop date lol just gonna keep giving til #50 so if see any new players who you see or people who are actually attempting to be part of community they can hit me up either on here or pm's work as well. Just wanted the process to be as transparent as possible though.
Indeed, sometimes a posts takes make up to 3 hours to write, prepare and publish so it's time consuming as well but still, I'm enjoying posting here and there.
It's inevitable to come across some "roadblocks" in every community, but we shall move forward towards our objectives and don't lose sigh of it.
I really appreciate the giveway, my username is the same: @cantfoldaces
!PIZZA
Hey there, great post. Glad I was able to encourage you. Also thanks for the giveaway, I'll take a Venari Heathsmith or Gargoya Lion. User name is @neoxian
Do you mean Venari Heatsmith instead of
Venari Heathsmith? 🤔!GIF heat
Via Tenor
Yeah it just happened in a really unique day where I saw dracodice community being supportive, joining brobro, stayten at terminal reaching out, hearing kenn's/cryptostache's stream, and of course your kind giveaway jester and thinking back at how nice the !PIZZA community was also
#2
Sorry to hear about your bad experience. I have noticed some folks can be pretty toxic in general. Blogging here is one of the best ways to get involved with the Hive community overall and get free rewards to roll into other projects or SplinterLands itself. I'm sure you already knew that.
If some folks spent as much or half of their time here engaging in comments and community they would see how beneficial it is to be part of the Hive community. I don't see so many getting rewarded with all their time over on discord. I know networking and connecting is good over there but here it's a much greater opportunity. Hell, here you can get rewarded just for distributing your daily votes curating. I see it as a win-win-win here.
I wish you well in your endeavors and don't let a few bad apples spoil the bunch. More than a few of the folks you mentioned are awesome people. Hang in there and keep on keepin on.
My account is the same as here @castleberry
Put me down for the bandit, deceiver, or the gargoyle, please.
It's okay it happens, I mean hive overall has been a pretty welcoming and pleasant experience. Yeah I think what I'm going to do first is see which communities and projects I want to support on here first, but all of it I want to roll it into itself just to see what 1 year of that would look like. I do pretty well trading in splinterlands that I don't really need to supplement that much but I guess it could help me to explore more different projects that I wouldn't have normally got involved in because of pricepoint to test out and try. I actually have an axie account and dragonary that has just been sitting there idol for the little over a month I've been in splinterlands and exploring the hive network.
Yeah for me it isn't so much the rewards although that itself is rather gratifying and I am grateful for them, but for me it is about branding and community building as a whole as I keep thinking what I want my "Legacy" to be in life. I mean I think time on discord is very important because it is through there that I was able to build so many unique and amazing relationships.
Yeah I'm all about win-win-win haha it is actually a philosophy I tried to preach to my previous guild is to always think win-win and if ever gotten the chance to think win-win-win where the community at large also wins. I think that's why I didn't just spam the hive with a bunch of giveaway posts and posts about strategy/markets because I didn't want to attract that type of crowd and at the same time I think posting strategy and about the markets may just make more farmers/prices to increase and I don't want that as a net result.
I really appreciate your thoughtful response so have some !PIZZA and I'll be sending you all 3 of the cards you requested. As you said sometimes it pays to go above and beyond with a little more heartfelt of a response <3 #5
I really appreciate the cards you sent. It's funny because these are the first ones i have ever gotten before from a giveaway or contest. The only cards i have ever acquired were from playing and getting rewards. I made a post back in the Alpha days and used my rewards from the post to buy the starter deck. I got some other cards airdropped since i had old ones. I think i may have only purchased a few packs in the early days with my Hive rewards. Well, back then it was on Steem but you know what i mean.
My whole account here on Hive has been built from organic growth. I think i put 100$ of the stimulus check money we got last year. Of course, i didn't grow my account alone as it took community and friends to care and share votes, comments, and such. It's i even took about a year off of the blockchain due to some life situations. If i had been grinding that whole time i probably would be much further along.
I hear you though. It's cool you are here in Texas as well. I know relationships and networking are important and i too spend much time on discord for it. But, i was mostly referring to the whiners in general that blame the whales for everything and how expensive stuff is when they could be over here actually contributing to something bigger than just in it to earn.
Rewards are part of the bonus really. Most people that are ONLY in it for rewards don't last long. I think some of the friends i have made on this platform have really made a much more enriching personal experience for me personally. Hopefully, i have helped enrich their experience a bit here and there too. I won't write a complete book here... but i would suggest that whatever you are interested in there is probably a community for it. Getting involved in a community is a great way to get rolling. Just engaging within the comments of posts you like can be beneficial in more ways than one. I am probably not telling you anything you don't already know i am guessing.
Thanks again for the conversation and the cards bro!
Wow... no that was great I enjoy the conversations quite refreshing quite honestly, but I can also be reached in discord at InfinityTcg#8041 so it is more of a dialogue lol but no rush as this post and responding to it leaves me somewhat drained...
Lol reading and writing are probably one of the things I dislike the most so I guess that is what makes it a little exhausting. I've been in the Tcg/ccg community for about 20+ years and when I say in the community I mean neck deep in it lol over 50,000 hours probably spent playing/thinking/trading cards... so yeah to me this is more of a exploration of myself and try to look into other interests and finding more about myself
Cool... i will hit you up over there! That's a lot of hours bro! hahaha
I feel you bro. Everyday I find a new awesome community in the Hive, and seems like the world is getting bigger by the minute. More projects and people that I can handle to be honest, but it is so much fun!
Hopefully we see each other in the Dygycon.
@hollowknightgod is my IGN, and any Pelacor will do it for me.
Your name seems really familiar as if we've interacted on the discord channels before... Yeah I find this quite to be a bit overwhelming, but for sure it is rather enjoyable and quite the deep deepppppppp exploration.
Yeah I'm not sure how this whole dygycon thing works yet, but I'd love to. !PIZZA party going on there as well I heard lol
#8
Oh, I'm pretty sure we must have discussed something on discord before, but I haven't the faintest idea of what.
My first Dygycon was the last one, and It was a blast for me. I even wrote this one a month ago talking about my experience on the event, if you're interested to know a little more about:
https://peakd.com/hive-13323/@hollowknightgod/my-first-dygycon-the-dygycon-5-experience
Goodmorning, never let it het you down, but like this blog fight back and earn. First thank you for the shout out and we are glad you came back. I send a DM but it couldn’t get deliverd and I am glad that stay and @neoxian also decided to try to get you to stay. Life but also hive is a learning curve and it’s always on the move. So it’s been a month and I assure you thing will happen in the future, I am just sorry that you had to go through this than again a deep dive is wide if you see all facets of the chain. So thanks for the blog. Good luck with the building of communities and know that we will help as much as we can. See you in the comments
Oh and @ryzeonline see there are nee bloggers that have a great word count in the comments aswell , love when you take a look a spread the ryze sprinkles here
Yeah... These blogs are more draining for me at times... I think writing them is rather liberating.. but then I almost feel obligated to read and respond to all the messages... To be honest it is net loss for me even if it was 5-10x more working/trading produces more for me personally lol. Yeah I tried to dm to say goodbye to several people, but it didn't let me I figured it was a sign to let bygones be bygones, but yeah yesterday was just like a freak of nature incident almost as if it was drawing me back lol. Oh I appreciate it, but focus on those who need it as you can probably notice I'm rather decent at marketing my heart out to many groups <3.
Interesting another deep dive I gotta check out lol yeah its been rather exhausting keeping up with everything I think I need to dedicate 2-3 days a week to just relax and deplug. I think as communities have been or relationships are built but for me this month is trying to absorb everything in a short time so definitely information overload, but rather exciting for sure.
Maybe I will only do 1 post a week or every 2 weeks lol this is exhausting not sure how many do this but much admiration lol.
@infinitytcg hello mate, thanks for giving me the advice ;)
!PIZZA
np bro glad I could help, it was nice meeting you. That was the first time someone ever asked to take a picture with me in the metaverse and felt rather interesting haha.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience. I absolutely hate when bad behavior is rewarded or paid off to go away. I'm relatively new to the game, started last month, but I'm glad you found some excuse to blog again, even if it is to get some of that sweet sweet crypto reward. Hope you keep at it though.
If you'd like to send me a pelacor bandit, I'd be very grateful.
@theacks
Have a slice of !PIZZA on me.
It's all good I'd much rather spend or at least try to spend my time thinking about positive endeavors/memories. Yeah I'm pretty strong-willed when it comes to certain things lol. Yeah today was like a really weird day almost like a perfect storm that lead to this post was quite crazy...
Yeah I'll probably just let most of the crypto just build up in here it will either moon or go to zero either way I don't mind lol. Already sent here have some !PIZZA back
#6
Come on bro, we were talking a lot xD I thought you quit splinterlands for sure because of me since you stopped talking in the discord after we talk, it got me overthinking a bit but then I checked your user and it actually showed that you stopped for a while so I was thinking it was from me for sure xD, nevertheless I'm happy your back dude
As for the cards... I'll get maybe all the remaining 23 cards.. (jk) yeah I really want the nightmare... If you don't have it, I'll go with pelacor mercenary. Ps:from your friendly spiritual brother ;)
But yeah, idk about internet gurus dude, you've mentioned that before when we talk. I always have a bad spot for these gurus because my mom has been a victim of one. They're scumbags really, not all of them.. But some are scumbag scammers like dan lok, tai lopez, samuel leeds etc. And some local gurus, that's why I didn't have a particular good feeling when you started talking about "making a change" etc
If you wanna know more about them, here's a link
Again not all are scumbags, if they're free online just go for that, don't dive deep into their programs etc.. It hooks you with a nasty bait so you will start supporting them for the rest of your lifeIt would help if you disclosed who you were... lol as you obviously don't have the same name as you do on discord I'm guessing to is where you are referring to?
We also have to work on your math skills lol 50-7=43 not 23 lol. Also I'm not sure what you are talking about there are 4 cards in picture and you didn't even list one of them lol so try again...
Gary Vee is farrr from an "internet guru" he isn't even trying to sell you anything he just preaches facts and SHOWS you what he is accomplishing and doing and they align with what he teaches people. Which for a ton of people that is VERY VERY hard to do as most people contradict their very words. Anyways you should probably research someone before speaking poorly of them. Tai Lopez also isn't a bad dude he is just serial entrepreneur as for the others I can't speak about them as little knowledge I do recall Dan Lok being a scammer though...
!PIZZA anyways have a good one.
27 people have commented so far, so shouldn't that be 23 left? 😅🤔 I'll get the pelacor deceiver and yeah no thanks, I wouldn't disclose who I am, but you know me for sure xD... But again I wouldn't disclose it due to personal reasons... Tai Lopez is an infamous internet guru, if you really "know and researched" them, then you should know that there was a time where he got questioned about his knowledge but turned out not knowing even the slightest most common basic knowledge of trading (in which he teaches for money) and yet he still preaches knowledge....
Again,not all of them. Gary vee is halfway there but if he knows what he is talking about and not shoving his program to "make you a millionaire" then he is obviously not one... "not all of them" keyword
Dk about the pizza part, but I'll try searching up its uses
Okay I'm done here you make no sense... how do I send a card if I don't know who I am sending it to?
Alright..
Great to see that you are moving forward. Good luck!
!PIZZA
Yeah cause going back or looking back sucks lol so only thing we can do is move forward.

@jhuleader
I've been surviving begging people for $1 for the last 20 years, so $15 is like when I hit jackpot for me.
Well if you've always done what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got.
Maybe consider changing your "tactics" to seeing how you can add value to people in your posts or comments? Also joining and engaging in active communities like !PIZZA helps, but you should never be "begging" because that maybe a good way to not get anything, but those are just my 2cents gl

Saw the giveaway in splinterland discord, can i get either a conjurer or bandit? @kurouzs thanks
