Seriously though, is Kim coming back to EU?

Rather see the company go under and get back my 20 dollars

Indeed, MindArk is bearing the full cost of the conversion of ComPet Deeds to Arkadia Moon Deeds.

I personally think this is how you move from being a circumstantial investor to a seasoned one.

I'm not entirely happy. It's still 500 ped of Compet deeds swapped for 100 ped of Ark deeds. For deeds the community bought at the original price.
So many firms collapse because of management arrogance to accept their decisions were wrong, add to that the stubbornness to change direction and make it work. Look at Nokia as a brilliant example. You know they had a Swedish guy go to them with a iPhone style swipe screen way before Apple bought his patents after the poor guy went bust. Nokia ignored him. The world is littered with failed company that make bad choices.
edit 3: ok I worked it out it's still a huge loss. It still MA's f*uckup and boiler room sales pitches. If MA were McDonalds you'd get one chicken nugget and two fries in a Happy Meal. ok I did laugh at my own analogy just now (writing on the fly..hahha).....but that doesn't make it right does it.
Fair play mindark. Draw a line and move on
Fair play? Explain me how? They sold deeds at 100 each with promises of high potential earnings and neat features, years after they give you back 25 peds each with none promised features delivered. I would not call this fair.
[h=2]ComPet Announcement[/h]As such, the MindArk Board of Directors has decided to suspend any further development or marketing of ComPet, and is exploring options for potential development and/or publishing partnerships with established mobile game organizations.

This is how venture capital works? You invest with the hope that an idea succeeds, so you can be rewarded. When in reality, 75% of startups fail. MA should most certainly turn focus to their core competency, and abandon shit ideas like crypto and D- effort at pokemon.
Deed holders should be thrilled that MA is offering something in return, I feel in most situation a lot of investors would be left with sale of assets, and I think in this instance.. that would be like 10 USD.
Imho your comparisons are not really appropriate. MA is NOT a startup. And the so-called investors are all MA CUSTOMERS, this is very important. MA had to offer some sort of compensation.
Can't wait to see what we'll get! Any hints on when the next caly VU will be?

Risk will be if the project was released as planed and promised during compet deeds sale from MA.
What we got at the end was a lie...
If you prepay apartment in building that is still at construction and builder show you the plans of the building and sell you 100m2 apartment but later on builder tells you we dump the project take this 10m2 hut instead.
And then someone not familiar with all this comes to you and tell you aaah investing in something not completed is a risk you dont deserve compensation wont you like to kick him in the nuts
And all aside this is more like scam...
Why not do 1 compet deed for 1 arkadia moon deed for players who bought it directly with real money? The arkadia moon deeds aren't tradeable yet and could stil be for a year or two.
The only one who made a lot of profit here is Mind Ark themselves. Unless they have spent 750.000 dollar already on compet...
That's not an investment, that's a purchase. You gave them money to do this thing, the thing didn't work out as planned.
RIP Compet,...…... think I need a beer and a calculator.

edit: Message for MA.....can I have couple of my pets transferred to EU please. Kiwi (mythic) and T-Rex (Legendary). Stick it in my inventory.
Or in this case dip the calc in to the beerMake sure you use that calculator before you break out the beer!
+rep to a great player
All they did was a game with name Compet game... no real connection between taming and EU game. Its not what they collected the investment for. It was nowhere near what they planned for how do you call this ?
The point is to understand the difference between they did what they collect the money for and fail will be ok. But they collect the money and make something completely different and say your investment fail cous we cant do any of the things we say we will do with that money.
Make sure you use that calculator before you break out the beer!
