THE Cartel - WEEKLY REPORT - "End of Cartel payouts" or "DrugWars' Legacy"

in #steemcartel6 years ago

In a world where the most amount of money WAS made with drugs, weapons and alcohol 3 guys started it all from the streets of D-A-CH. It started rather small but they knew really quick that it's not enough. To get strong and to the top they need an army. So "THE Cartel" was born. It was just a mater of time when 3 became 10. 10 became 20. The army kept growing so does the name, "THE Cartel". Police was in fright, "If you can't fight them, join them." the chief police officer said, so it was settled. The way to the top is wide open for this bunch of wild individuals with a heart of gold and a quantum of Godfather. They made you an offer you can't refuse. So what are you waiting for? Be part of the mob. Be part of... "THE Cartel".

What happend to the Payouts from the Cartel

Since the game makers of DrugWars decided to pay out their members in future tokens, it is no more possible for us to pay our members in steem. Let us show you some numbers what the steemcartel account currently receives on rewards in future tokens and then tell us what you think.

  • currently 1 STEEM in exchange costs: 1378 FUTURE = 1 STEEM
  • we are currently getting 5 FUTURE per Day as the daily income
  • from the daily heist something around 20 FUTURE
  • no FUTURE for attacking and smashing others units (I mean how should we do this when our units get smashed as soon as they got build?)

The payouts of the game went down to approximately 5% daily. It's not bearable.

As u can see we are getting around 25 Future Tokens per Day. Currently we need around 55 Days to get an exchange reward of ... yes... seriously 1 damn STEEM.

These changes in the game are so hard for our community work that we cannot provide anymore payouts for our members. This means, this payout we made is the last payout for the members because there is no more income. We took all liquid steem that we had and renounced the padroni payout so that all our members will get the most of the available liquids based on their begining donation.

So what about THE Cartel now?

THE Cartel will still be a thing. Only the payouts are now gone. We are happy about every active player that we have and we wish to dominate further.

Although we heard from many sides that they want to quit playing DrugWars. Some people even want to delete their accounts. What about you? What is your thought on this? What do you think about the recent changes DrugWars did? Write a response to this post and let us know.

THE Cartel acccounts are under permanent attack and we aren't even able to restock on units with those accounts. To be honest we are not able and don't want to put that much energy into that any more because it's Sisyphus work.

Thanks to the Donators

Thanks to YOU we made the FIRST real cartel in the game and the first real community based on DrugWars. And with the donation we even managed to get into the top 10 and even stay there. It is not that we are THE Cartel but THE Cartel was YOU the whole time. It's sad that we could't keep up the payments for a longer time. But at some point you just have to stop fighting because the struggle is tooooo big. There where a few problems throughout the travel. We tried compensating through posts, didn't work. Now the payouts are completely gone.
Long things short: Thank you. All of you for staying with THE Cartel.

It was great - but the times are changing...

The Cartel was great and we had a funny time. But this time was not funny because of the game 😂

No other way around it, the change to the future tokens is just a way to get rid of those payments. I'm getting 3 Futures per day, it seems they are not able to work with decimal numbers.
It would make sense for everybody in the Cartel to send the tokens automatically to the Cartel account so that the main account can exchange that to some Steem. Just to get around that 50 Token limit. (Which is just there because they can't exchange 1 Token for 0.001 Steem...)
But that's just 0.0005 Steem payments or so. Not even worth the time or the effort.

I'm just clicking fancy green buttons "Upgrade" from time to time and that's it. There will be at least some free Steem and maybe they will make some major changes which will save the game (Highly unlikely, even impossible, but we can at least dream.)

The only solution for Steemcartel I might see is to start posting those pesky "look at my fight" posts just to get upvote from them while upgrading the pantheon. I don't know how profitable that would be, but at least the big donators and patroni might get at least some Steem.

It's more work than profit. The fighting in game is unbalanced af. You get raped 24/7. The moment they deleted the shield they made the game nearly unplayable for those players who get raped 24/7. I mean what should one do? Play the game and do nothing else? It's realy sad. I hope there will be some changes. I hope that at least they will try to make the fighting more balanced. Because like it is right now it is quite unplayable if you get penetraated nearly 4 times a day. (Or spend 1000+ STEEM to stock up on units to keep fighting again.

Huh? Never meant to earn through fighting itself. The token are never worth it for it. Or the time, or something else.

I meant: Just to post those fights to get the upvote from fundition, that's all. Even those spies can deliver a fight to share.
With a higher Pantheon level the upvote will even be a little bit higher.
It's stupid, it's blockchain bloat, but at least it is getting something into the wallet.
One 5.6% upvote from fundition is worth 1.13 $ upvote value.

I have no idea how often one can trigger a upvote from fundition per day. Twice? At least that account: https://steemit.com/@bet1x2 is doing exactly that.

So @steemcartel could earn from 1.13$ to 2.26$ upvote value per day, while waiting for changes.

mmmh...

I understand, that currently Cartel Payouts are nearly impossible because of the low rates & low pool in DW...

I also understand, that currently it is not profitable for the padroni to invest much time in DW...

I personally still believe DW & FUTURE will have a great future* and in that case I hope The Cartel takes up works (and payouts) again...

*) Check out the roadmap they published and look at the progress/improvements they made and are making...

I think you guys did a great job. I'm still logging in daily, but this game lost all fun for me around when Future Token was announced. Maybe in a few months, it will bounce back.

The starting phase was awesome

Than the game sadly went into a different direction.

You guys worked hard and tried your absolute best. I appreciate all the work you've put into it and completely understand that you had to make these choices. Maybe the game will improve and make other things possible, maybe not, or maybe a better game will come along for us all to join. Either way: Once in THE Cartel, always in THE Cartel. For me at least. Things will improve, whichever route we take.

EDIT: We have Truce!
There is no more bounty on "Whysoserious?".
He's a nice guy. ;)


Aaaand, I've been found. :)

I forgive two times...
So I don't mind the guy who attacked me first.
But the "Clown" funny guy...
I offer 10 Steem of bounty to someone who would clean up this wish-to-be drag-queen. ;)
Just post the fight report.
I want him without any troops and even more dry as the Sahara. ;)

I'm staying. :D
I need at least one game in my life and I don't feel like leaving the gang or the game...
I'm a bit less active on Steemit and DW and also on discord because I have a shitload of projects to run offline at the moment.
See you around. ;)
And keep on keeping on (upgrading the storages). :D
