Conclave Arcana Pack Purchases BreakdownOkay, now that the pre-sale is over, it is time to digest who bought what. Thanks to Vugtis, I have collected this data for the Top 50 pack purchasers. They are listed according to their ranks. The first thing that you notice from this plot that @hanv bought all standard pack, and that distorts the plot! :)

Pre-Sale Ignites Fireworks and Ambushes!First: This is the final tally of the pre-sale! Congratulations to all the participants who took part in the pre-sale of Conclave Arcana. Special thanks to the six brave souls at the top who get to design a summoner (rebranded as Archon). There are more details in the official information post

A New MovementIn real estate development and management the term flipping is common. Flipping in real estate refers to the practice of buying a property, typically at a low price, making improvements or renovations, and then selling it quickly for a profit. The goal is to increase the property's value through upgrades or market timing, often within a short timeframe, such as a few months to a year. Flippers focus on distressed properties, foreclosures, or undervalued homes, aiming to capitalize on the difference between the purchase price (plus renovation costs) and the resale price. Success depends on market knowledge, renovation efficiency, and accurate pricing. Risks include unexpected repair costs, market downturns, or overestimating the resale value.

I don't have a first damn clue!We can do a thought experiment though. We have good plotting tools available and I want to test the hypothesis to see, what a tepid remaining sale looks like, and also what a full pre-sale sold out looks like. Here we go!

Are you a Survivor?Well if you are tryhard65 and dratek, the first one related to moneymaker8425 on discord and @annunaky at hive and discord, certainly thinks so. However how long, time will tell until we plug this leak. Sorry for being direct, but beating around the bush is not my strong suit. Its been ages that @vugtis been telling me that he is not the highest earner in the survival mode in Splinterlands, where bots are allowed and there is no ECR. However, you have the depth in your card deck that you use to that play as long as you can. The depth of your deck is the ECR. Clearly, Vugtis, jeffopenscards, and neal has the deepest depth in their card holdings.

Stone!I do not want to be cryptic, but I couldn't help. I think people are seriously overlooking Splinterlands land. It is unfortunate, because there are so many other things that are happening in the game right now, that it is very difficult to keep focus, even for a large holder like me. The reasons are all interconnected.
