We received a report that the @steampunksInc party who attended the pre-Vortex Dinner at the @Goblins_Kumite lair were poisoned. We need your support: Voting ends at 4pm PST! https://t.co/TXIo5nlxaM #kumitestories @kumitenft #dalle

To begin, a TL;DR on what is happening: -Silicon Valley bank is the #16 largest U.S. bank with $212B in assets. -It's primary focus has been servicing startups for decades. -In a period of 48 hours it has collapsed, putting the entire startup/tech industry at risk.

I don't think enough people understand the impact of the Silicon Valley Bank collapse. What happens over the next 36 hours is going to have consequences for decades. I want to address Millennials & Gen Z, since this is our future. MUST READ 🧵

Well worth the read, process and links outlined in a quick post! #ai #midjourney

Just a few examples of how the Steampunks have been open about our intent inside @kumitenft. Posts like these could have knocked us out of the first round, but here we are. Integrity to our core values seems to be paying off, onward to round 2!

11 for 12, almost called it perfect - congrats to the families that made it to the next round! 🙌🎉

Even our @kumitehunter friends are now receiving false accusations around their decision to escape from the shackles of the syndicate. The evidence is here for all to see the corruption this alliance has caused, you don’t have to take my word for it.

We hope this clears the air from silly rumors that only do harm. One thing we have learned from this experience…don’t be fooled by the tag of “hero” or “villain”. Hero doesn’t always equate to “doing good” nor does “villain” mean the intent is to do bad.

To @ISLA_faerie, we did not betray the Faeries or the alliance. It was never Edison’s choice to be there. He was forced in, and pressured to “pick a side”. Instead he took action to stay true to the Steampunk’s values and left. An honorable move.

Since escaping the IKYKY syndicate, our connection throughout Kumite has grown stronger, and the support for Steampunks mirrors those efforts. Just look 👀

…a diversified community who invited us in with open arms. Does this mean we have an alliance? No. But we do have a friendship, and work together to serve all of @kumitenft vs. our own self interests as we’ve seen with certain families.

Freeing ourselves from the syndicate created the opportunity to collab with other families without the worry of judgement. So we ventured to the @Goblins_Kumite hideout…
