Me personally? OMG no! You got me good lol! No way in hell.
I entered university on a scholarship to study computer engineering and was assigned an upperclassmate who was purposed to help me in the program. She worked part time as a stripper to cover school costs and if she did not have access to the best coke in the whole world... Anyway no, I never even learned how to program. I take screen shots with my phone camera on the computer screen. I'm not even able to make a game if I had the ability to do so.
But somehow my not so smart donkey ass ended up not only playing magic the card game when it was new and tossing around black lotuses at lunch like the cardboard it was, I ended up in bitcoin when it was trades less than it cost to print the damn black lotus in the first place. I somehow ended up with the fund to not only end up with 10% of the market cap of a game I assume was going to die and become worthless but I don't even remember my second thought, sorry about that. But anyway I can fund an open sourced game that is not about money, that takes not a lot of money, I think the cost is honestly really close to 0, so If you are worried about money, I can cover just above 0.
Now do I know people who have the mad skills to not only be able to make a bot on splinterlands, but to win the damn thing over and over? You have heard about the th12 team right? You understand they won the last 2 out of the last 3 season? I'm good at playing but I also like to drink. The top 4 last season were 1000 points above 10th rated. My team has the mad skills to not only make a bot on a shit chain, but could very well manage a basic game with significant help from the community.
Now why would I even bother to make a game? I like playing these type of games, I have since I was a kid. I have thousands of real physical cards from many different games in my house. It is fun. So yeah, what was your question about again?
I will take that as support, and if it does come to this, you will see it. I'm honestly wanting Matt to jump ship, let us see how it goes. If he joins, he will be game God, but we will limit his powers. Sort of like a constitutional king. After all what does Matt really want to do? presell bull shit land crap or make the game we all want? Hmmmmm ;)
