citizens : my final push to try to facilitate an end to this phase of death and taxes. < retreat. > one collector flies to napa valley for one day with me. an immersive wine tasting. a sitting where you watch a 1/1 made in front of your own eyes - start to finish. yours to keep, or the seed of a system offered to other collectors. dinner at the french laundry. a night at alila napa valley. the day is all expenses paid (travel + tasting + dinner + hotel). the seat is paid for with a citizen. one leaves the game. the offer is live. citizenretreat.netlify.app/ and i want to be clear about something, because it matters. some of you said i wasn't doing enough to help this game end. i took that seriously. while i can’t change the rules of the game - i tried to use my own practice to create things people would care about, worth exiting the game. governors. the anti bot bot club. monke ending. re-routed project fees and created new artworks to buy citizens out of the game (26eth+ so far). those efforts have facilitated the exit of 31 citizens. retreat is the last one. after this there are no more offers and no more levers. I will not do anything else. all of the fees go back to the project. no more buyouts. no more art. the game ends the way it was written: one audit at a time, down to 69. the rules were the rules. the game never changed. i did what i could, and then some. godspeed citizens. ✖️💲

my next moves will not be so charitable. if the game goes on another month - the project will generate ~$50k in fees from tax payments and audits. you don’t want me to have that money. for what?? what have I done to deserve that? (besides building a game of 6900 artworks, a bunch of wild contract mechanics, a site to customize and buy humanoid robots, deployed a system of puzzles to unlock hidden edition and 1/1 artworks, built a second world game, yadda yadda yadda) this time - those funds will not go back into players pockets. so some advance warning. i will spend that money feverishly in the following ways : - I will use 50% and spend it collecting art from creators that need it - I will use $14k usd to acquire a 2015 Toyota Camry with 83,000 miles - I will try to commission @toadswiback to make me a 1/1 physical fleshlight - I will buy dozens of @RealVision subscriptions and send them to random people - I will buy several pieces of wood to try to make frames - I will buy a token frame and drop it from a bridge as performance art I’ll think of more
