ARMERO - Let's keep going.

ARMERO has always been a favorite experiment of mine - born out of the now retired token LABFUND, @armero is a rest haven city for tens of thousands of "sick citizen" NFTs in one of my favorite games, dCity. In some ways it is a tokenized corporation, or corporate city, that holds income producing assets, under the direction of a manager. I mean, what fun!

I don't really pay myself anything, just I have a lot of the tokens myself, and I have fun playing - and that is it! Its another way for me to play, and anyone to play along with me as well!

Recently, with the wind down of the INCOME token, we stopped the daily curation digest on @ecoinstats, although the account still votes, that is "fires the cannons" every morning, activating its trail, so holders can still write or reblog their favorite content. But it seems our Sanitorium Socieity Post was getting cover from these reports, because soon after, even with all the HSBI removed I might add, we started attracting automatic downvotes to zero right before payout.

It also seems like without the daily posts to keep it balanced, it was trailing itself, and autovoting, curating its own digest in a way. I hadn't seen it do that before but either way - enough is enough. We have done some recent work on the @moon.records that seemed somewhat applicable, and so we decided to "containerize it" into the comments.

The very next dividend will come with a full report, in a comment under the last post.

What does the future hold?

With the recent announcement of a 4th edition roadmap, a deal struck for development, and a path to "open api" for anyone to build on dCity, we feel strongly that our corporate model of the ARMERO sanitorium could live on. Its a unique city, promoting a unique strategy and working a unique midgame now with Retirement Homes. It owns a lot of "city" nfts to support the large population of Sick Citzens. Its a "major player" in the game, even though Ranking Rewards have been discontinued.

But however long it takes, eventually there will be a 4th edition SALE - and it will be sold in HIVE. If @armero/ARMERO wants to transcend to the "next level" or cycle of the game, this would be the time.

Dividends

With "something to live for", I am going to turn down the dividends target slightly, from 1/week to 3/mo. Some of you may have done your own math or realized, @armero's SIM Power is not going up any more. Let's see if this change mitigates that over the next couple months while we get a feel for the timeline on 4th edition, which could be months away or years away, who knows.

We will continue to play the long game, and try to capture as many retired citizens as possible into Retirement Homes while our population slowly dies off. We are out of prayers but our pile of Bones is high.

Let me know what you think down in the comments - should ARMERO prepare an ABV and list new shares onto the market for 4th edition? What can be done about poor liquidity in the ARMERO market due to sells not being eligible for dividends?

Freedom and Friendship
