Rawbots Coming to Peerplays with
New Joint Venture Agreement

Rawbots is a game that lets players build their robot/machines similar to legos, and then program these machines and engage in epic battles against other people's robots. Here is a preview of this exciting game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPIS_aA4lrc.

Peerplays is a high speed gaming blockchain which is capable of supporting tournaments and in-game marketplaces for all types of server-side games. Here is the Explainer video for Peerplays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoMFA2SnBZs.

After months of negotiations, Neil Haran, owner of Rawbots, and Bunkerchain Labs Inc., custodian for the Peerplays project, have arrived at a Joint Venture Agreement for the integration of Rawbots with Peerplays.

Neil will incorporate Rawbots into Peerplays, making it the first graphics intensive multiplayer sandbox game that will utilize both the marketplace and tournament features of the Peerplays blockchain. Rawbots players will be able to create and sell in-game items using the Peerplays blockchain, and will also be able to enter into tournaments where they could win huge jackpots by facing off against their peers. Bunkerchain Labs inc. will continue to develop the blockchain software required for the integration of these features through the Peerplays API.

The agreement came into effect on September 16th, with Neil Haran receiving 5000 PEERPLAYS tokens and $10k in Bitcoin from BunkerChain Labs inc. to pay for the integration of Rawbots into Peerplays. Neil will maintain 100% ownership of Rawbots, while Bunkerchain Labs Inc. will remain dedicated to the development of the Peerplays blockchain. Additionally, a legally binding Covenant Not to Sue was signed by both parties, to guarantee that no litigation would result from the grievances publicly mentioned on numerous occasions during the past 3 weeks. This Covenant also prohibits either party from discussing any of the details of these grievances.

But perhaps the best news of all - Rawbots, as a flagship game, will also be a working template for other games to integrate with Peerplays in the future, thus accelerating the process of onboarding new games and introducing a whole new means of generating crypto-based revenues to the gaming industry.

Oh ok. I'm curious to see what the price ends up at during auction time. If the timing is right, might be a great opportunity to get some discounted peerplays.

we must embrace new ways of dealing with internal company matters

I believe this is what Jonathan and Neil were communicating to you. Internal company matters are just that, internal to us, to resolve ourselves, between ourselves, not in public.

No, that is not what they were communicating to me. I had put them both in a room together and they both acted like children refusing to communicate. As an investor I expect that the team I've invested in would behave like adults, place their egos aside and make a genuine effort to calm me down. The exact opposite was accomplished and I am not a small stakeholder in this. I know you're the marketing rep for the company, but don't blindly assume these types of situations magically resolve themselves. The direction we were headed was to $2/token, and my actions prevented this. Be logical, sit down with a piece of paper and map out the best case, average case and worst case scenarios for each action. From what I had worked out, this had at least a 33% chance of ending up in a situation where I was simply going to watch my investment turn rotten. Investors in crypto want results, not excuses, not patronizing comments. If the company offering has to grow stronger at the risk of your reputations, then that's a small price to pay. Reputations are overplayed anyway, here we mostly care about results. Deliver us results and we'll be your best pals, buy you drinks, wine and dine you.

Add this code to your blockchain parameters.
Code:
More transparency == better company
if (company.isMoreTransparent() && founders.canBehaveLikeAdults())
{
    goodThingsHappen();
}
else
{
    youDealWithMe();
}

Clear?

From the beginning of Peerplays, my role has been that of designer of the games and the lineup of games (includes monetization and core game/tech mechanics revolving around monetization) that we're launching and being responsible for the strategy and business development from the gaming side. What this means is, I would help with strategic decisions to grow the company, find business/gaming partners (upon the launch of the first game) and find key projects to incorporate into peerplays (such as Rawbots).


Best wishes,
Neil

I think you were rightly the first listed Peerplays team member & it was your extensive, industry relevant background, talent and experience which gave credibility to Peerplays and I doubt they would have raised very much without that.

As far as I can tell you gave valuable input & expertise during the early/formative concept stage & as expected have had a more limited role in the actual coding stage. However once there is a product, I think you will be critical to the project's success for the (obvious) reasons you've outlined. (Once developed, code can be fairly easily replicated by competitors, so the key is who can fine tune it into the most popular, playable formats and take them to market successfully.) With albeit talented coders but no/low industry relevant talent on the team, it's a very different investment proposition, so really hoping any issues will be resolved.

And this is why we love blockchains because we can deal with people in an environment that requires no trust and is free of drama.

It brings responsibility to the place where it belongs, in our own individual laps.

New technologies bring about newer ways of dealing with issues. The blockchain has always been about being trustless and transparent and in order to truly embrace that sentiment, we must embrace new ways of dealing with internal company matters. I propose we consider having more frequent updates with this company and bring up issues as they arise. Let's deal with matters in an open way by discussing issues openly with the community. We're all in this together, if for no other reason, to reap the upside of the price. Just trust in the system and know that through increased transparency will come increased strength, virtue and support.

Peace and love.

Jacob,

Your LI chats have made several things very clear:

- Jonathan was very professional and cordial with you despite your disposition (you called him "Hitler")
- You have a subjective bias for Neil and drew conclusions based on <5% of the picture

- You do not realize that Graphene can process 1000x more TPS than Ethereum at a fraction of the cost
- Your business acumen is dubious based on your question "why do you need more money?"

- You lied to Jonathan three 3x about keeping the conversation private
-  You get "quite excited" over posting FUD
 
These conversations only strengthen confidence that Bunker Chain Labs is the right company to develop PeerPlays.  Your behavior on the other hand is belligerent. The social jury is in - and the verdict is that this is common internal progression that occurs during organizational growth. Good luck to all parties and may the awesome power of Graphene blockchains be fully realized.

I think the power ups are a great feature and I wish other places would implement some sort of similar system. It gives users incentive to try harder and gain more and more powerups. Keep it up !

Just to get this clear, the share drop is now after the 17th?

The SNAPSHOT of the BTS blockchain happens on a random block between midnight UTC on Sepember 1st and midnight UTC on September 16th. (The exact block can only be known based on a simple calculation that gets performed after the last block before midnight is signed on the 15th.)

The SHAREDROP happens when the Peerplays blockchain is launched, towards the end of this year. A sharedrop is when the snapshotted addresses/accounts are integrated into the Genesis block of the new Peerplays blockchain. The people who controlled the BTS held in those addresses/accounts can then use the same private keys from their BitShares accounts to unlock their new Peerplays tokens on the Peerplays blockchain.

Hope this helps to clarify your question.

UPDATE 9/17

According to the calculation given in the original announcement, the snapshot will be applied to BitShares block number 9,291,600

Which was produced at 2016-09-02 16:37 (UTC)

Which means that any BTS that you had in your wallet on this date and time will be counted towards the sharedrop.
