Splinterlands - General Sale - What a day!

Legendary performance of the team
What can I say, trying to stay away from being slimy towards the team but I have to say I was really surprised by the quite smooth turnaround / performance on this highly important phase of Chaos Legion general sales today. Of course some server issues caused a bit delay in transactions but in general this went well. A lot folks are happy - the FOMO was here but I am pretty sure many of the new players could buy their packs which is highly important for the game, the chain, the entire community. Seems a win-win scenario that makes all parties happy - sorry for the short post - just wanted to express my thanks towards the Splinterlands team, you did a terrific job, hope some of the remaining transactions that got stuck from some of my team / guild mates buying Credits via PayPal are solved soon.
What is next?
Given I was prepared with a maxed regular deck before this stage my aim was just to get some packs and to hodl them as I am confident the prize of packs will skyrocket soon (depending on when all packs are sold - @gank will report more on that soon I am sure).
I have not been convinced on some minor stuff but in total the strategy paid off - I would have been gone with total Voucher requirement for anything, not only buying packs in the phases behind us - hope RW and Land will really require Vouchers and SPS moving forward, heard the team is working hard on communicating more on use cases for SPS so the sometimes annoying nay sayers finally come to an end with negativity. Personally I thought over 1 year ago land is nothing for me, that changed. The fact you can bet on players is exciting as you can also work for Splinterlands (not being paid directly thought unless @aggroed gives you referral deals) for yourself, for your community by Scouting talent! Yes you hear right, find talents in game play, bet on them and be rewarded for your choice! - That will be fun, not all should only bet on the know Top 10 players which might only be 5 as this is financially less attractive, even a safer option.
LOL! No, I won't flag it to zero Uwe :) What do you think of me, some kind of monster? LOL
I know you as a protector of this chain and its ecoystem, not only because you want to protect your own invest but to keep the chain and even its DApps clean from abuse, shit posts, farming etc what I appreciate - I do not agree in all flags you hit sometimes but I am happy to have such folks here like you, otherwise it would result in a disaster which we can see on other (known) chains.
You are a monster on Splinterlands with your invest but I am still confident to beat you there once in a while - I still need to talk more often to @xawi though haha. How is our Doctor friend @simplifylife doing? I really miss him, not only as of his Rabona performance and our fruitful convos there, hang on I will just send him a message now :-)
Jesus - I can not sleep it seems as of the exiting General sales it seems lol
What a day indeed! Curious to see how many packs will be left after the first day!
I'll falg it, this is disgusting.
