I guess the game Steem Monsters has us all feeling like kids again.
The success of the game is an amazing sight to behold and I think it's a wonderful addition to the steem blockchain.
By now I have collected all the cards and I'm eagerly waiting to play the game.
Then 1 week ago @aggroed (co-creator of STEEM MONSTERS) made a post....
A week ago he put out an auction.
The auction was about the opportunity to become the first monster boss in the game other Steemians have to fight when the game is released.
Including a backstory and monster design.
O man....a childhood dream! I can tell you that!
I always wanted to be a character in a game.
And now on the blockchain that changed my life and in a game I think will be fantastic!
O, yes!
I made a bid straight away and was instantly out bided.
I then read the post again and realised this:
I created an auction battle plan.
I would patiently wait for the post payout to arrive..and strike.
Today was the day.
I waited patiently while time of the payout was nearing.
I expected so many last minute action!
My hands were sweating when the time to strike came.
I put in my bid in the reply window and waited....
30 seconds....20 seconds....10 seconds....
I pressed POST.
When the dust settled I realised I had won!
I have been on cloud 9 ever since!
What a dream come true.
Work on the back story has already started and I know already know what monster I want it to be.
It's fun to be a kid again!

I can imagine how great you feel right now! I saw this play out on the SM Discord this morning. Everyone was excited to hear who won. We were expecting it to be someone else! :)
My set is almost complete and I have some nice Legendarys. Looking forward to meeting you on the battlefield!
See you on the battlefield!
You are really good at this brother, I could your response at the steemmonser discord channel, where you have it all. It us really interesting game to play and thus add more challenge to the blockchain to make it more fun
Wow are you for real? You won? Wow this is a dream come through and calls for celebration.
yes!
Oh, yes, my friend, this is great news and I'm very pleased that you won the auction, it's always amazing to get what you really want and you did it. My sincere congratulations to you! Thank you Mark.
The one who vanquishes his foe and then puts their remains on the green-egg....
EXYLE
Will any brave adventurers gather the might to face him? Join Steemmonsters to find out!
I have a few cards now so watch out for me
LOL!
Happy to take on a fight Germany vs. Netherlands soon :-)
Awesome!
:-) - am not a boss but trying to develop my steemmonsters strategy - funny given one week ago i thought all of you guys are totally nuts and that i would never ever join that game lol.
Congrats on that win, it is indeed a dream to achieve something like that, and what better game to do it other than one built in the best blockchain and based in the best concept :D
Could you tell me how much you ended up paying for that? (an approximate value)
651 STEEM.
Lolz you just made it in a split seconds I suppose ;)
Well that feeling of adrenaline running through the body was indeed great I should imagine ;)
Mark @exyle You are the STEEM MONSTER KING !!!
Permanent naming rights. Congratulations mate. I look forward to besting you over and over.
Thank you, man!
Very cool! Bad ass boss man exyle coming soon.
The snipe it at the end approach is always the best way to win an auction IMO. Bid to early and it's guaranteed to just run the price up.
Look forward to going a few rounds with your boss character. Great idea on @aggroed's part to allow steemians to be the bosses to add extra interest from the community.
Looking forward seeing you on the battlefield :)
Well Great !! Congrats ! I don't play games, but I guess you will keep us posted when your pretty face is developed in a game ;-)
Ha, ha, ha. Well done @exyle. I'm surprised nobody else tried the same strategy.
Seems a pretty good price to me to buy yourself immortality! 😂
I was surprised at that too!
Congratulations on your win, the fun never stops with steem monsters. Can't wait for September to see how all this goes down :)
I have to agree the success of the game is indeed amazing I think many are feeling like kids again and now people are just waiting to play the game but wow congrts on being the winning bidder it seemed pretty intense for the position @exyle
Bid-sniper! :D
Last i saw the bid was in the 100's, that ruled me out!
Well done boss-man :D
Thanks, man!
Haha! Hi @exyle! It seems you and your kid is very excited too with Steem Monster. I'm expecting a good battle from you once the tournament starts. Meanwhile, let me buy more cards to get more chance of getting legendary monsters :-)
Wow, I totally missed that! Congrats on becoming the very first monster boss, how cool is that! It's going to be so much fun fighting our fellow Steemians. Can't wait for the tournaments to begin :D
Me neither! It's going to be a lot of fun!
well i believe you are going to be stronger to fight every one , you always want to be strong physically and in game you want the same strong position brother best of luck
Thank you!
Mmhmm it's too fun!
It's a really amazing game.
Lol, I agree, it gives a sort of remembrance that triggers satisfaction
dear friend i would like belong to your group of developers to learn from you.
wish you best of luck @exyle....we will participate first let us be rich
Really amazing game. You are really good at this brother,
You're lucky, I won't be playing this game :-)
Oh Congratulations! It's a great opportunity and you took advantage of it! I want to see how it will be the monster I hope the story is great
The win was well deserved. Truly, you doing so well. I join others to congratulate you @exyle
I hope you can be my steem mentor and father. I love you so much sir. Keep pushing for higher gains.
playing with friends on steem blockchain is more fun than ever this is really great
Congrats! I am really looking forward to get started playing this when it is released. I have only been able to snag the starter pack so far, but hopefully I will be able to build up my deck when the tournaments start. I think competition is going to be tough with all of the people I see buying booster packs.
Oh it is on now!!! Bring it, you bearded monster! Akox is coming for you!
Congratulations.
