Heh, hopefully wierd = good? (personally I'd rather be wierd than boring!)

Keep an eye on the campaign, and hopefully we can look forward to your support!

At the very least, participate in our community program to gain some free FAME!

Sounds weird. And interesting!

Bookmarked.

Actually we have several marketing campaigns going on, and support from several ICO listing sites. Unfortunately this is one of the things we significantly underestimated.

We've found that the vast majority of the media outlets seem to be taking advantage of the recent boom of ICOs and are demanding up-front payment on the order of 10BTC or more for basic listing/twitter services, etc...

We have some support, but our model is such that we are accountable to our backers for any money spent on marketing. And as such it needs to neatly (and justifiably) fit into our marketing budget already declared.

We've found a few excellent souls willing to help, but the majority seem to be clinging to the bubble...

We'll see how that pans out in the long run as the ICO market becomes more "mature". In the meantime we're doing our best to promote it any way we can and get the word out there. I think we'll get it across the line, but certainly lots of lessons learned about the unique aspects of running an ICO as a means to fund a project!

Thanks!

Good work. I think promotions might need a bit more work. I'm not an investor, but I research ICOs and I must admit this one bypassed me for quite a while. It might make sense to try and reach out to some media outlets and certainly a little more emphasis on Twitter and reddit. Your limit is relatively small, but I am sure you can make something in the budget to get someone on media duty.

Chinese Translation Accepted! One bounty claimed! Still several more up for grabs!

Hi! Thanks for your question, we've currently raised just under 149 ETH.

With our goal of 500 ETH that puts us at about 30% towards our goal.

Currently we are 74,950 blocks into our campaign, which has a total of 190,000 blocks. This puts us at about 39% through the duration.

That puts us just slightly behind pace (based on pure trend). Though considering most crowd-funding campaigns receive a large percentage of their funding in the first couple days, and the last couple days, with a slow "coast" through the middle, combined with the fact we still have a big surprise up our sleeves we're saving to announce in the last week approx of the campaign. We're not worried. We're fairly certain we'll cross the line.

But that doesn't mean we can let up! We need your support! Both in the form of contributions, as well as through our community program! Take advantage of it and earn some free fame by helping us to spread the word!

Thanks!

BattleDrome 是什么?
BattleDrome 是一个游戏平台/生态系统，基于分散式战斗场，允许任何人创建一个战士: 一个存在于以太坊的实体，能够被交易，训练，装备，并参加活动，其他战士进行战斗，并获得乐趣及收益!

就好像罗马角斗士的祖先, 战士们在技术与战斗上的提升能通过时间的迁移所获得的经验来加成。在战士们透过他们的事业所获得 FAME 中，一部分 FAME 将移交至他们的主人。

活动将由社区分散式地被定期安排，并设定规则（战士的数量，等级限制等）。任何人都可以在“注册时段”内让他们的战士加入。之后就到“下注期”，允许观众对活动的结果下注。

当处于注册时段和下注期时，赞助者可以选择贡献他们的财产给予活动的胜利者，以获得在活动期间做广告的权利。

我们有意让活动本身能在视觉上被观赏及动画化，并允许观众与进行中的战斗互动，为下注的那一方加油鼓励（或扰乱观众反对的一方）。

当战士们在战斗时，战士们将利用主人帮助他们获得的技能与装备（以及他们本身来自其他战斗的经验）来击败其他战士。在这个情况之下，部分的FAME将从被击败的一方抽取并给予胜利的一方。

若在一个时间点上，只有一个战士还活着，他们将获胜！并获得大量的FAME。

主人能在任何时候让他的战士退休，把战士的所有FAME都交给主人。可这位战士将无法再次参与，主人若想要继续参与活动，将需要重新锻炼一位新的战士。

除此之外，BattleDrome是一个平台。我们将持续开发未来的额外活动，以及扩展战士们的功能。花俏的组团战斗？玩家对环境式地牢？能转换战士战略/行为的可自定义人工智能？这些都有可能在BattleDrome平台上实现，并由FAME来驱动!

FAME是什么?

FAME 是一个驱动BattleDrome平台的 ERC20 令牌代币。

FAME 是BattleDrome生态系统中的核心。 就好象古罗马斗兽场，FAME 是个被所有主人/顾客们争夺的货币，它是战场上工人们所希望获得的，它让战士们愿意使出浑身解数击败对方，并且也是那些希望获得关注与营销的工具。

BattleDrome 是个被从零开始设计的多面化平台，用以支持FAME的需求量，并提供大量的娱乐来取悦大家。

从技术上来说，FAME将成为全面ERC20令牌的代币，并将在一次发布后，由于被限制的供应量，在ICO众筹后将无法被铸出。此货币能被“烧毁” （永久性销毁FAME代币），这将成为我们销毁ICO众筹后没被售出的代币的方法。在经过时间的推移，此举将增加资源的稀缺度。

在ICO众筹中，总共最多 210万 的FAME将被铸出 （200万ICO众筹最高目标 + 5%给予开发者），但最终流通量将取决于ICO众筹的成果。

被提出的开发时间线有什么？
这是来自网站常见问题部分的开发线。
每一个里程碑（测试，释出）是与里程碑被达成时第三方托管所释放的资金有所关联的。


背后的团队是谁？
此团队由3位创办成员组成。我们有意愿在ICO众筹结束后依据所获得的资金录取/扩展团队。我们3位创办成员拥有能力来完成所承诺的目标，但凭着来自ICO众筹大量的资金，我们将能提供更大的价值。例如一个能带来惊艳的视觉的引擎，或在首次释出时带来额外的特点。

Paul Mumby: 创办人及开发领导
Paul (在这个论坛也被称为 Glasswalker ) 涉及在加密货币的生态系统中有一段很长的时间了。他也是位工程师，从硬体设计，机械工程到程序开发他都有着非常深厚的经验。目前他是个程序开发和大数据咨询公司的首席技术官，他有着积累下来的经验，智慧和技术让这个项目能够成功。

Jeff Warford: 联合创办人及开发人员
一名长久以来的区块链爱好者，Jeff是位有经验的系统架构师，曾管理Linux系统和后台网页开发。他目前专精在面向网页的Paas产品的设计及构造。

Ian Anstey: 联合创办人及系统管理员/测试员
Ian是一位有经验的系统集成商及zeal for bitcoin的构造师。利用他强大的管理及部署测试背景，他现在是个Linux和虚拟化集成的专家及咨询师。

我为什么要参与？

• 我们认为我们有着强大的市场定位（请看下方）。
• 已完成的概念证明，准备在短时间内推出测试版本。
• 完全透明化
• 有机会以FAME持有者的身份来为开发选项/特征作出投票（利用FAME结余）。
• 低目标
• 合理的低限额
• 对成本限度负责
• 阶段性释放资本配合完整的第三方托管，保护支持者的投资。
• 开发者只占非常小额的代币。
• 无预先开采及众筹预售。
• 已规划好未来生态环境的扩展（发展代币的价值）

ICO众筹之前进行的市场调查表明我们处于游戏业的甜点:

• 游戏行业非常注重拥有能够制造“宠物”的游戏。
• 加密货币的投注正在频密发展，在2016年下注了超过 8.9亿 比特币。
• 使用“风险限制”的游戏非常出名（“玩家”在游戏外操控着“角色”，当在游戏内时玩家则失去直接的控制。例如原本的角斗士游戏，和现代（缺乏吸引力）的版本，例如公鸡战斗和狗战斗）。
• 大型多人在线角色扮演游戏中的生态系统造就了第三方数据化物品市场及玩家之间的“交易”。
• 我们综合了这些元素，成为一个干净，安全，及有趣的游戏平台，并且能够扩展，及支持一个强大的金融经济，驱动于来自广告，运输，参与及下注的资金循环。

我如何才能参加ICO众筹？

• ICO众筹合约将联合所有的支持者。
• 为了迅速及简单，和支持者风险保障而研发的设计。
• 只需轻易地将资金从你的以太坊钱包送到ICO众筹合约的地址。
• 当ICO众筹已完成时，在ICO众筹合约上执行payMe方案。
• 若ICO众筹成功，你将立即获得你的代币!
• 若ICO众筹无法达到最低目标，你将拿回所有的以太坊!
• 教程将在网页上发布。
• ICO众筹合约将在短期内发布，届时也将开放源码。
• ICO众筹分散式程序将在7月1日释出。

我们计划利用分散式程序让过程迅速且简易，并不会依赖复杂的程序，避免支持者使用不被支持的游览器，或使用网站式钱包，或硬体钱包，来完成交易。这将会确保过程即简单又灵活。

结合ICO众筹合约，先前部署的代币，及第三方托管将成立一个安全，严厉管制的ICO众筹，这将会降低投资者/支持者们的风险。

How much have you raised so far?

Quick update:

We're still ahead of pace, things going well for us to reach our goal at end of the ICO. But we still need your support!

Reminder:
- With this ICO there is NO risk to backing early! The ICO contract guarantees that you will get your ETH back if we don't meet our minimum goal!
- Because of our Escrow you are protected further, we only get a small portion of the funds, with the rest released only as we deliver on our promises!

So if you're holding out until the end of the ICO, there is no need! Back us now, and the more support you show, the more demand and hype we drive around BattleDrome. As a result FAME's exposure and support will be driven higher too!

Also don't forget our Community Program (announced in previous post)
- Translations still up for grabs!
- Twitter campaign open, free FAME for grabs there too!
- Referral program allows you AND your friends/family to make even MORE FAME for your Ether contribution.

And as always, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach us here on this thread, via email at [email protected] or via Slack at http://www.battledrome.io:8080/

Announcing our Community Campaign!

Well, you’ve all been asking for it, and we’ve spent a lot of time coming up with a program we hope everyone will be excited about, but which works within the specific challenges we have as a result of our ICO model.

First let me explain why this was difficult:

• We have already launched the ICO and it’s 100% in the control of the ICO contract. Even we can’t alter the outcome at this point. This is by design for security.
• This means we can’t simply re-allocate any of the tokens, or money.
• We do have one thing we can play with. The 5% additional tokens minted for the Dev Team. (which is already much lower than the norm right now!)

We have decided to sacrifice some of our cut for YOU! Our community!

I know we’ve had a lot of demand for forum signature campaigns, and translations. But after significant thought we want to spend the little bit of tokens we have wisely on this Bounty Program. And we also need to use mechanisms we can track with 100% certainty.

We’ve come up with the following program:
Twitter Campaign = 1% of all FAME issued
Referral Program = 2% commission on any referrals for you, and a 1% bonus for the referee.
Translations = Fixed price of 20 FAME awarded to the first person (yes, it’s a race) to post a valid translation in one of 5 pre-requested languages (and only in those languages).

Keep reading below for all the details on each of these campaigns!

Twitter Campaign

The Twitter Campaign will be allotted 1% of the total tokens minted (that’s 1/5 of our entire share!). Here is how it will work:

In order for a tweet to qualify:

• It must contain the hashtag #BattleDrome
• It must contain a shortened link to our website battledrome.io (shortened links are ok)
• It must contain the first 24 characters of your Ethereum Address that you wish to be credited with the bounty.
• The tweet must be made while the ICO is active and accepting contributions.
• Use up the remaining character limit with your ensorsement of BattleDrome’s ICO!

How the reward will be distributed:

• At successful completion of the ICO, the 1% of all FAME will be set aside, and divided into shares.
• All tweets that match the requirements will be gathered using the Twitter APIs (this may take up to 30 days from completion of the ICO to tally all the data, etc).
• Each qualifying tweet, will be multiplied by the number of followers that the poster has.
• For example, if you tweet 100 times through the campaign, and you have 20 followers, you will get 2000 shares. If however you tweet 20 times, and have 1000 followers, you will get 20,000 shares. Etc.
• All shares will be added up for each 24 character “address prefix”. And the total share count (and resulting FAME balance) will be posted publicly via a google sheet.
• Each participant will need to email us at [email protected] with your full address, in order to claim your bounty.
• Upon claiming, the FAME will be transferred to your address.

Referral Program

We’re sacrificing potentially another 3% of our share (at least for the referrals) to help you recruit your friends/family/contacts!

By referring in another contributor. You get 2% commission of their contribution! And they get a 1% bonus for being referred!

This means for example, if you refer in someone who contributes 5 ETH, they normally get 500 FAME, but now they will get 505 FAME, and you will get 10 FAME just for the referral!

Requirements:

• The Referee must contribute at least 5 FAME minimum. This is because there is a fair bit of clerical work to track this. (Lesson learned, next time we’ll build this into the ICO contract. But for now we have to work with what we have.)
• The Referee must create a signed message saying “I am address XXXX and I was referred by address YYYY” and sign it with the private key of address XXXX. This message must be sent to [email protected] in order to claim the referral commission/bonus for each party.
• Once the ICO is successful, the bonus FAME will be sent along with other Bounty pay-outs (may take up to 30 days from ICO completion). This is because it must be done manually by the dev team. The contributor will still get their normal amount immediately upon ICO closure, but the 1% bonus, and 2% commission will be paid out manually.

Translations:

This is a popular request, and we understand we want to be inclusive of as many people as we can. However we totally underestimated this at ICO launch.

We don’t have unlimited funds to work with, and so we’ve decided that based on statistics (which we’ve been gathering from several channels) our leading demographics appear to be (in this order):

• English
• Japanese
• Korean
• Russian
• Mandarin

So here is the deal:

First person to post a confirmed translation of our main post in BitcoinTalk with the following requirements:

• Translation posted as a reply in our main thread
• Cross-post in the appropriate language specific forum in bitcointalk (if applicable)
• Add a link to the main thread in your signature on bitcointalk
• Translation validated as correct (not the first to be validated. The first reply in the thread for each language which later is confirmed to be valid is the winner, if the first reply is found to be invalid, then it falls to the second, etc.) Decision on what is “correct” is entirely up to us.

Will receive the bounty of 20 FAME. To be paid out at ICO successful completion.

There will be 5 accepted translations (for a total of 100FAME paid out, which by the way is another 1/5 of our total share of the minimum goal):

• Japanese
• Korean
• Russian
• Mandarin
• Esperanto (just for fun)

Note: This does NOT mean we are discriminating against other languages. We encourage others to translate to other languages if you wish. However we simply don’t have the budget to allow any arbitrary translation. The above were chosen because of the gathered statistics about our audience, and determined to have the most impact.

First come, first serve! The race is on!

Conclusion:

We’re eager to hear your feedback on our community program/goals. And excited to see what you all come up with for this!

In addition I want to drop a hint. We have another big surprise planned, but it will come later in the ICO campaign. For now you’ll have to sit in suspense and try to guess what it might be!

Thanks again for all of your support! Let’s make BattleDrome a huge success together!

We hear you for sure. And we've come up with a Community Goals / Bounty program that we hope will address some of these requests.

Post incoming in a few minutes

Incoming post in next few minutes about our bounty program.

it looks better bounty company is def required

Hello, is there a bounty campaign for this project? If there is I would like to reserve the Romanian translation

MyEtherWallet native support

Just quick update to let you all know, that MyEtherWallet now has native support for the ICO contract, and Token.

I’ve submitted the token, ICO contract, and gas limit requirements, they’ve accepted the pull request, and it is now live on https://www.myetherwallet.com/

The instructions will be updated in a few minutes. What this basically means is no more copying and pasting nonsense, just pick BattleDrome ICO/Crowdsale from the drop-down list in order to execute functions.

And when sending funds directly to the BattleDrome ICO, MyEtherWallet should send the appropriate amount of gas automatically now.

Thank you! 24 hours in, and already at 22% of goal!

Just wanted to post a quick update and say THANK YOU!

We’re just 24 hours in approx. Based on blocks, we’re about 2.5% of the total duration of the ICO. And we’re already at over 110ETH raised, over 22% of the minimum goal!
That’s a fantastic milestone, and sets an excellent trend for the rest of the campaign. (considering that campaigns without a front-weighted discount scheme, which we opted out of for simplicity. Have a tendency towards the majority of their contributions ramping up later in the campaign, this means there is actually a possibility of us selling out in this campaign, based on this very early indication, though at this point prognostication is a bit premature as we don’t have a broad enough sample yet).

Reaching the minimum goal will mean we can definitely deliver on what we’ve promised, and make BattleDrome a success. But at this rate, we are on track to significantly exceed the minimum goal, and if we can do that, I think everyone will be amazed at what we can achieve. The more we raise beyond the minimum, the more we can deliver. With more budget, and the potential of a bigger team, we can deliver an even more compelling platform.

So thank you very much for your support so far!

Keep spreading the word! And keep those contributions rolling!

Let’s make BattleDrome into THE go-to online gaming and entertainment platform!

Hey, thanks for your support!

Also Contact page is not missing, there is contact info at the bottom of the page, but it's definitely not obvious enough.

I'll be pushing an update to the page tomorrow with a few new things, I'll add a primary link on the nav bar for contact info. Thanks for the heads up

Thanks again!

Notice: Gas Cost & Contributing

I’ve just noticed that several initial contributions failed to go through as a result of the transaction running out of gas.

It is absolutely critical that you include 85,000 gas with your transaction when sending in a contribution to BattleDrome! 

Don’t worry, if this happened to you, your ether isn’t magically lost, the transaction simply failed and you should attempt to send it through again (this time with the correct gas amount).

The reason this wasn’t caught, is that some wallets (like Parity) auto-detect the right gas amount on default sending transactions.

Others send with a default amount such as 21,000.

I’m sincerely sorry this was missed in the instructions. They have been updated to reflect this, and clearly note the gas requirement.

Luckily it’s only affected a couple of transactions at this point.

Please remember, if you have any trouble at all during the ICO, don’t hesitate to contact the BattleDrome team at: [email protected]

Thanks again for your support, and if your transaction failed, please re-try with the correct gas amount.

To check if your TX failed you can either execute the checkEthBalance function on the ICO contract (passing in your address). Which will let you know your balance (if it reflects what you think it should, then you are good, if not, you likely have a failed transaction).

You can also go to https://etherscan.io/address/0xeaaf270436a0ed397ed23bbf64df7b1dcaff142f
And look at the failed contribution attempts in the tx log there. (they are clearly marked)

Some of these transactions failed because they were sent before the ICO actually opened as well. (again same outcome, please re-send, ensuring to use right gas amount).

Browsing the website, I think the Contact Page is missing.
And by the way, this one seems legit.
 - posting the members of the team
 - use escrow in their ICO, target is not that high
 - with decent website at least
 - not so much supply
 - the ANN is not written in 5 minutes
 - the dev is active in addressing each concern/query and with explanation 
Good luck BattleDrome!

And the ICO is Officially Open! 

Woohoo! Just got home from a Canada Day Celebration, and our ICO has been live for about 400 blocks (just about 2 hours). In that time, we’re just about to 2% of our goal! Not bad considering we’re only 0.2% of the way through the duration!

I’m working on a status tracker for the main homepage, will have it up later this evening.

Also wanted to mention, we’re not firm on the details yet (so can’t “officially” name names) but we are getting very close to having an exchange on-board with FAME tokens, as a result the FAME token should be fully traded on a well known exchange very soon.

Thank you so much for your support so-far, keep the support rolling in! Tell your friends!

Also we will be announcing our community bounty program, giving you a way to grab some fame by helping us out very soon. So stay tuned!
