The journey so far. Yes - I have a feeling I'll just be rambling on about what I vaguely remember.

ここまでの旅。そうだねー何となく覚えていることをだらだらとしゃべるだけになる予感がするけど。

I used to play a BCG called MyCryptoHeroes and I think I heard about Splinterlands from a friend of mine. I thought it sounded interesting and started playing it.

私は MyCryptoHeroes っていうBCGをやってたんだけど、その知り合いからSplinterlandsの事を聞いた気がします。自動戦闘でサクサクできるっていうのを聞いておもしろそうだと思ってはじめたんだよね。

1. Started Splinterlands

１. Splinterlandsを開始

According to my notes, I bought CAMILA SUNGAZER and THE VIGILATOR at the end of July 2021... I must have started around this time because I seem to remember having a lot of trouble trying to buy a GF Legendary for CP.

メモによれば2021年の7月末に CAMILA SUNGAZER と THE VIGILATOR を買ってるね。CPの為に金枠のレジェを買おうと思っていろいろ悩んだような記憶があるから、このあたりから始めたはず。

If you started recently, you may not know this, but in those days, there was a limit in CP (Collection Power) to move up a league.
You had to buy two gold-framed legendaries to earn CP to be able to move up to the gold league! After that, I also bought MYLOR CROWLING and FIRE SPITTER in gold frames in August/September.

最近始めた人は知らないかもしれないけれど、この時代はリーグを上げるためにCP（Collection Power）で制限があったんだよね。
ゴールドリーグまで上げれるようにとCP稼ぎのために金枠のレジェンドを2枚買ったはず！そのあと、8～9月でMYLOR CROWLING と、FIRE SPITTER も金枠で買った。

These cards are the workhorses that became the rental factor along the way and helped DEC earn its money!

この辺のカードは途中からレンタル要因になってDECの稼ぎ頭になってくれた働き者ですね！

Like any game, it was your first time, so you played it like crazy every day. I had to work during the week, so I had less time to spend on the game.
I bought cards with the DECs I got for playing, and I also got reward cards. Those were the most fun times.

どんなゲームでもそうだけど、初めてだから毎日夢中でプレイしてたね。流石に平日はお仕事があるから掛けれる時間が減るけど。
プレイ報酬でもらえるDECでカードを買って、リワード報酬カードも貰って。最も楽しかったころだよね。

2. Very bubble period

２. めっちゃバブル期

DEC Chart

I started the game at this point on the DEC chart. As you can see, it was right at the beginning of the bubble, and DEC prices were going up and up and up and up and up and up!

DECチャートのこの辺で初めて。見ればわかるようにバブルの開始直後って感じで、どんどんどんどんDEC価格が上がっていって、プレイすればDECが稼げて、さらにそのDEC自体の価格がどんどんどん上がっていく状態だったもんだから！

Ugh, and per Diamond Leak, you could eat a beef bowl with one win or something. I was playing in the Silver League, so it wasn't that much, but I think I was still earning money and buying cards.
Also, SPS was released. This one also went up and up and up and up...!

うっはうはで、ダイアモンドリーク当たりだと1勝で牛丼が食べれたとかなんとか。私はシルバーリーグでプレイしてたからそれほどではなかったけど、それでも稼げてカード買ってた気がするね。
また、SPSもリリースされて。こちらもどんどんどんどん上がって...！

Of course. It's a bubble, so it started going down and down and down from the end of 2021... And so it continues to the present.

もちろん。バブルなので2021年の年末からどんどん下がっていって...今に続くわけですが。

3. From post-bubble to now

３. バブル後からいままで

DEC and SPS have been falling ever since the bubble burst, but recently they've gone up a bit. BTC has been going up recently, and I hope it will go up steadily in the future.

バブル崩壊後ずっとDEC、SPSは下がり続けてるけど最近ちょっと上がったね。最近はBTCも上がってるし今後安定して上がって言ってくれればいいんだけどね。

Now that ChaosLegion, RiftWatcher, and Rebellion have been released, I'd like to get the cards I usually use together properly and go to the Silver to Gold League.
I'd like to get them all in GF if possible, but the prices are so different that I'll probably end up in the Bronze League if I collect them in GF.
