@Mlich, @CryptoMrM:
thanks for clearing up the confusion with numbers.
Now I can see the number of packages is probably equal to number of creatures included.
Will calculate shortly and post.
Interesting enough - obviously the most investors here are bigger ones. The biggest packages are sold like crazy. This looks to be backed by whales more than by public...
@CryptoMrM: you seem to be very optimistic. I have few questions to you if you don't mind... Now you and other whales can post more without fear of diluting their investment (yes, I took notice of your previous post on this...
), because the big bonus time has passed (alas...), so now project has to try to attract the remaining funds at much less attractive price...
1. There are a lot of big investors apparently. What makes you think those investments are real? Have you met appropriate interest on Slack. Here at BCT, there was no interest shown up by most to now...
2. Aren't you concerned about the fact the lead developers are not professionals, and apparently do not have any experience and even appropriate education?
It's not the most widely publicised ICO and therefore I find more small-time investors miss ICO's like this. It also tends to be the 'whales' with enough brains to discern a potential profitable ICO when they see one. Likewise small-time investors are put off by other factors like potential scams and again sadly aren't sometimes able to tell. There's lots of different factors really, including the early notification to SoG investors who were already knowledgable in the area and probably wealthy enough. Could get into it but would probably end up going off on a tangent for ICO's in general.
Well I don't mind posting, I know other 'whales' are deliberately not shouting from the roof-top. Personally I'm hoping for over $1 million of investment so I want to keep awareness up. It would be remiss of me to say the project still represents good value if you get in now or later. I said to someone earlier I don't enter ICO's for 20-30% profit
Furthermore the added package incentives such as limited cards can be played to your advantage if you choose the right package/creature. I am bias none the less.
1. It's quite clear to me that the investments are real. In a multitude of ways, not least the fact that if they weren't would imply the whole thing a scam. The escrow address can be viewed here FYI:
https://blockchain.info/address/32m58KhzMxYFh5L6UVG6U2ort65snJffP9. I'm also one of the most frequent faces amongst cryptocurrency Slacks (I know it's terrible, but I like to know everything I can), so yes I recognise and know some active big 'whales'. With regards to Bitcointalk activity unfortunately I/we get the feeling the Augmentors team aren't the biggest fans or most experienced of Bitcointalk. This 'issue' has been raised. Likewise as you said people may be keeping quiet for fear of dilution. There may be other reasons too.
2. Of the listed team members two of the developers have years of experience behind them:

Hope that helps
