The Arena’s s gates are open, chose your Champion wisely.
After envisioning all that was to be done, to be said, and to be seen I took a step back. As the storm was brewing outside our doors I could see from within how things will come to exist.
I did not fear nor fret for I knew in my innermost what was to become.
The trust and respect my fellow Anons put into my vision were overwhelming. Not once did they stumble upon the steps leading towards the pinnacle of our destiny. They took heart and stayed true to what they were believing in.
From the very beginning, I knew that I would lead the way to a group of individuals that will live as they work. Relentless, inexhaustible, born with this inner hunger for greater things in life. We have laid the foundations, we have put the work, we are stepping closer and we still have much to accomplish. We are building here, brick by brick, the foundation of something meant to endure time itself.
We were nothing but the hands creating something new from something old.
During my past, my present, and my future, for my body knows no time, for my soul has been wandering for so long, I indulged in History. My interest in humankind stems from curiosity. Humans always fascinated me. I observed where they succeeded and where they failed. What created great empires and what caused their ruins.
I internalized that knowledge as I grew fonder of them. I wanted them to experience the best in Life. See the greatest things, indulge in the greatest tastes, listen to the most elevating musical pieces, and marvel at the beauty of the greatest sceneries. I wanted them to be moved through staticity.
I understood that the constraint of their human envelope will limit the scope of what my dear Collectors will be apt to accomplish, not from lack of passion but because of it. I knew they needed reprieves from their hard labor to rest, relax, and enjoy each other’s company.
Once again I turned my all-seeing eye towards their past.
In the Roman Empire, the Colosseum was built as part of an imperial effort to revitalize Rome after the year of the 4 Emperors. It was meant to be a place of entertainment, where one could witness gladiator fights, animal hunts, and even mock naval battles.
In that same spirit, I prompted my dear Collectors to build their own Arena. To partake in mock battles solely based on the wits and minds. No one would be deprived of their freedom and each will have the last say in who shall remain victorious.
Each week new community will be brought forth in an amicable partnership with the club. Their members will be invited to select their champions and offer them to the fates. Competitors/NFTs will be chosen at random to play, and will then be pitted against each other in a 6 round tournament, each lasting for the duration of an Earth rotation.
They will engage in friendly competitions to determine, the victor by consensus of Members of the Club as well as outsiders. The one deemed worthy will be rewarded with honor and prizes.
I created that concept with the well-being of my Fellow Collectors in mind as well as the positive promotion it will bring to the Club. For I knew that even in their downtime the Members of the Club will still be goal-oriented. That alternative allows them to enjoy the simple pleasure of life while creating strong connections to the community, promoting projects in which they believed and entertain themselves.
Soon the seats of the Arena will be filled with clamor and interest. Come forward and witness the magnificence of the Club. We will build a new age that will last centuries. We will rise from the dust that settles at dawn after the battle.
We will not be swept away by the winds of trends. We will stand tall for we are inevitable.
