Register for Regatta #3 now, learn about our Guilds, and get to know Tommy
GM! This is Gerry with another update from The Order and The 8102.
I enjoy slurping banana milk and the occasional hacking of lethal autonomous weapon systems sent out by a Super AI to wipe out humankind.
Today I want to talk about the following topics:
The 8102 Project Updates
Win a Megayacht by joining Regatta #3!
Four guilds to rule them all!
There’s a Comic #0 airdrop?
Lore & more: Meet Tommy
In other news: The Attention Economy, BAYC Founders on Full Send Podcast, 10KTF opens SSCC, the Creator Royalties discussion

The 8102 Project Updates
Oh boy, we’ve been busy lately…
Win a Megayacht by joining Regatta #3!
While I’m analyzing those lethal autonomous weapon systems (yeah, I wasn’t joking), you can have some yacht racing fun in our regatta #3. We have a spare Megayacht on the sidelines as a prize, so whoever ends up winning the regatta will seriously level up their yacht party capabilities.
Head over to https://bit.ly/regatta-3 to sign up. Deadline: Aug 25, 5pm CEST.
Four guilds to rule them all!
Oh yeah, this has been one of my favorite topics these past few days. With the world in ashes, we need to rebuild... and this should be done right. The Order just can’t be in control of everything, so we’re going to form the following four guilds that will take over central parts in our new world:
Trading Guild: Build a Market to enable trading for all players. Each trade collects a fee that is distributed to all members of the Trading Guild.
Banking Guild: Build a Bank to enable players to withdraw in-game currency to ERC-20 tokens. A tax is collected and distributed to all members of the Banking Guild.
R&D Guild: Build a Factory to enable the minting of new combatants for all players. A fee is collected and distributed to all members of the R&D Guild.
Real Estate Guild: Build an Agency to enable players to buy land. A fee is collected for each land sale and distributed to all members of the Real Estate Guild.
That sounds interesting, right? Do you wonder how you can join a guild? The The 8102: Comic #0 token is the key - there will be a time window at a later date to burn 1 Comic #0 to receive 1 Guild Founders’ Token of your choice.
Head over to https://bit.ly/tokens-comic-0 to find out more.
There’s a Comic #0 airdrop? 👀
Oh yes, there is! Minting for Comic #0 is open for 0.2 ETH per token, but we’re running a mint promotion until the registration for Regatta #3 (see above) closes:
For every 3 The 8102: Yachts you mint, you will get 1 Comic #0 for free.
Yachts are priced at 0.025 ETH per token - so you can get your hands on 3 yachts + 1 comic #0 for 0.075 ETH - instead of 0.275 ETH.
It’s also the perfect opportunity to get started with The 8102:
The best opportunity to join @the8102game is now by minting 15 yachts. For every 3 yachts minted you get 1 Comic #0 airdropped. Makes 5 comics. You burn 4 to join every guild and keep one to get future comics and content airdropped.
Sounds good? Head over to https://bit.ly/mint-yachts to mint.
Lore & More: Meet Tommy
Introducing Tommy, my estranged twin brother whose partying antics led me into a network of artists, investors and dodgy people. He’s also indirectly responsible for my signature S&M hat. But that’s a story for another day...
We haven’t talked for over 10 years, after that… incident. And he blames me for ruining his life. But our predicament requires that we work together. So I tried to reach out to him recently, so far without success.
In other news…
As you might have noticed, I’m a big fan of many projects in the NFT space. So here’s my selection of hot topics and cool things.
“The Attention Economy, How It Affects the Price of NFTs, and How It Can Help You Decide When to Buy and Sell” - very interesting Twitter thread by danii • ᴗ • (Link)
Bored Ape Yacht Club Founders GordonGoner and CryptoGarga joined the Full Send Podcast and shared a couple of very interesting insights - especially their take on floor prices (Link)
10KTF recently opened their Super Secret Command Center which allows players to open their crates and craft things. If you’re not familiar with it, check it out - it’s a prime example of story-telling and interactivity that is keeping the community highly engaged. Those weapons also look really promising in the fight against a certain Super AI. 👀 (Link)
The Grand Royalties discussion - I’m sure you’ve heard about it. After Sudoswap launched a decentralized marketplace that does not honor royalty payments the whole NFT Twitter space was set on fire. Zeneca_33 wrote a great piece about creator royalties and you should check it out. (Link)
That’s it for today, now back to building. This Super AI won’t go away by its own, right?
