The official whitepaper is now available to download, read, memorize and recant to all those around you! Special thanks to Flex for putting in so much time, effort and heart to this thing, it has been a pleasure watching him put it together!
New Discord Server + Invite Contest
We have a brand new discord server (while still retaining channels at the Komodo Discord, our first home.) We are having an invite contest to help bring more people on board! Details in the image below.
This is NOT my invite link, I ask that instead, you support the main author of this medium and The Pirate Code WP.
Please use this invite link, from Flexatron and help him win! → https://discord.gg/mBZhZgz
DISCORD INVITE CONTEST OFFICAL RULES AND INFO
Now is the time. Pirates we must set sail for our own island, the isle of Komodo has been overrun by dragons!
We will have a much easier time controlling the projects narratives.
Contributing communities will have a more cohesive structure which can include everyone who has the desire to contribute.
How to enter:
1. At the top of the channel menu, click Pirate at the top, then +invite people. 2. At the bottom of the pop up window, there is an “edit link” button. Please set your invite link to “NEVER EXPIRE”.
3. Save this link… and spam it everywhere you want to share it to get people to join the Discord.
4. Between Dec 25th and Dec 31st we will end the contest and tally the invites.
— For your first 10 invites, you will receive 20 ARRR each, up to 200 ARRR. After that you will get 10 ARRR per invite, up to no limit.
