Ending of steem torch was a little different. The last person who had it by mistake powered up the funds. After realizing that they started powering down. But that halted the torch from moving to someone else. And then the blockchain split happened. At that point we came to a different solution. They powered up and delegated the funds to a light-painters community. After the split it didn't make sense to continue the experiment.
Yes, poker is still going, I think. Bigger games are on Sundays, if I remember correctly. I was able to play for a while too. We all need to get back to the tables. It is always fun to play with you.
I felt it was one of the coolest social experiments ever done on the blockchain, and it sounds like it was a rather happy ending despite the power up mistake. Thanks for explaining how it ended.
I'm gonna need to get my rounders sunglasses ready :D
I would like to believe I have a unique style of play that frustrates my opponents. I messed one guy up so bad one time he started insisting I was a secret operative put there just to mess with his head :D
Poker is quite the psychology game. It's fun playing with you too :)
