Tollan's Presale Meets an Unresolved Argument

The community was still arguing over whether games should build onchain mechanics into play. The second-season presale began. The presale brought discussion back to a game event with dates and rules, but it did not settle hostility toward the change in direction.

The community was still arguing over whether games should build onchain mechanics into play. Meanwhile, Tollan Universe needed to draw participants to its second season. Players had a practical question: were the presale offer, the prize pool's funding, and the schedule clear enough?

The second-season presale began. Gold Cards and Crowns were discounted by up to 80% through August 1. Seventy percent of Crown sales would go into the prize pool, with another USD 4,000 added; the season was set to run from August 1 through August 11. Some asked how the discount and prize pool fitted together. Elsewhere in the chat, people were still denouncing the Final Form retrospective, calling the move offchain a scam.

The presale brought discussion back to a game event with dates and rules, but it did not settle hostility toward the change in direction. Prospective players planned to work out their purchase costs and the prize-pool rules first. Those opposed to the offchain move wanted a more basic explanation. Each question would need its own answer in later conversations.
