Game Over
"Tonight, death and taxes ends" begins m0dest.
73 remaining citizens in the originally 6,969 collection organize to end the related onchain survival game after 201 days of competition. They strike a deal to pool funds and pay a single, large holder 17 ETH each to sacrifice the final four needed.
m0dest shares closing thoughts: "thank you to everyone who played, watched, doubted, screamed, accused, and stayed. all of it was participation. all of it is in the work." And finally "...for now I need a vacation".
