Behind the scenes of what to expect from Mallard Order’s new collection, TMO: Initiates @TMO_RH, dropping Nov 4th on @opensea. It’s all built on @RobinhoodCrypto chain, which lets us push way harder than we ever could before when it comes to immersive, gamified experiences that actually create value. For the last 3.5 weeks our Trial has been one of the most talked about things on X. I know because I pulled the numbers myself from X’s API. So instead of telling you why you should mint, here are 10 reasons you shouldn’t: 👇 1. The art took way too long. 10,000 Initiates, every single one hand drawn by our artist, with 250+ traits. Zoom in on any of them and you’ll keep finding details: stitching, scratches, light hitting the gold. We could’ve shipped months ago. We didn’t. 2. You’ll never pay us again. Mint once and that’s it. No token to buy, no fee to unlock features, and gas is covered by us. Kinda hard to complain about. 3. You’ll have to show up. Daily claims, a 26 day streak, and a bigger chest every week you keep it alive. Miss one day and it starts over at day 1. If participating but earning rewards sounds like a chore, this ain’t for you. 4. Your duck gets smarter than you. Initiates earn Lore, climb Degrees and forge Masks to rank up. All of it is logged onchain to the duck itself, so if you sell, the buyer gets everything it earned. Paper hands train someone else’s duck. 5. Everything you craft is real. Items you craft are actual NFTs in your wallet. Not points, not a database. You own them and you can trade them. Free to make. 6. Something is hunting the floor. On a random day at PM UTC an unknown deity sweeps listed Initiates into the void. The community controls whether it burns or relists for higher. Onchain and provably fair. If you like listing low, this collection hates you🤣. 7. Breaking your word costs you. When you Awaken your Initiate you pick a Vow: 24 hours, 72 hours, a week, or longer. The longer the Vow, the better the rewards. Nothing is ever locked, so you can pull your Initiate out anytime. But leave before the Vow is up and you lose everything it earned during that Vow. Your Initiate keeps its progress, and anything you already claimed stays yours. Short and safe or long and rewarding, your call. 8. Every Initiate has its own wallet. Each one owns a Vault onchain. Holders vote on which tokenized stock the treasury buys, and it goes into the Vaults of everyone who took part. Royalties fund that treasury, not our pockets. 9. We’ve already shipped too much. 6,500 Mallards. 489 Invitation Letters. Relics. 222 Ordinals sub 175K inscriptions. Two comic Issues. Raiders Guild (Social engagement platform years ago). Since 2022, through every bear market. Hosted numerous IRL events through out the years both in the west and east coast. Too much history to catch up on, sorry we'll chat some other time about it. 10. Most of them are already gone. Over 7,200 of the 10,000 are already claimed, earned or reserved. Only 2,660 go to public, about 1 in 4. But lets face it there's 0 gurantee they all show up. But here's the thing, we’re bringing together a wide community from across multiple chains under one banner on Robinhood Chain. Instead of extracting from the ecosystem, we’re bringing new users/wallets and value into it. Still here? Then you’ve been warned. Mint: Wed, Nov 4 on
