After the recent debacle with drugwars that left many Steemians feeling scammed out of their money, something came to light that should have been obvious to all from the get-go, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH BEFORE INVESTING A PENNY OR YOU ARE BOUND TO LOSE IT. Yet, many fail to recognize this one simple but crucial fact and they wonder why they are left wondering: "How the heck was I dumb enough to get scammed like that?".

You need to realize that not everyone that is on STEEM  has good intentions.  Some just want to separate you from your hard earned money and take it for themselves. It's a simple, yet very true fact which you must learn and accept or you are bound to make some devastating moves. People are people and just like in life, the same can be seen on STEEM that is, not everyone has honest intentions and you ought to be very cautious before investing in a project or a game which promises to pay returns on your investment.

I can't stress this enough, but I'll state it  once again to cement this into your perception and make sure that the message gets through to everyone in a clear and understandable fashion: DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND DON'T INVEST ANYTHING YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE. 

Ok, now when we got that out of the way, let's look into what seems to be an interesting new game built on the STEEM blockchain, or is it?

[Daiesthaiwar introduction post](https://steemit.com/daiesthaiwar/@daiesthaiwar/the-alpha-release-of-daiesthai-war-the-3d-pvp-blockchaingaming-experience-on-steemit-blockchain) just vaguely mentions the actual game, but heavily emphasizes selling in-game items at a 20% discount, red flag nr.1. 

Before the post was edited, it had STEEMIT BLOCKCHAIN in its title, red flag nr.2. After it was pointed out by a couple  community members, they were quick to correct that shameful mistake.

The intro post has no information whatsoever about the team that built the game, no roadmap, no gameplay mechanics, no whitepaper, no aditional information, nothing. 

Simply advertising selling in-game items, pretty 3d models, a cool trailer, and again wrongly stating STEEMIT blockchain in their promotional video makes for one laughable introduction, red flag nr.3.

One would think that this marks an end to the red flags. No, no, no, there is one more that concerns me much more than all others as it raises questions about their ulterior motives, credibility and integrity. 

After reading their disgraceful introduction post, I quickly turned to check their wallet to see how many Steemians are dumb enough to spend money on a game that offered  so  little information yet so many red flags a blind man could see them. Could someone seriously be that careless as to invest in something solely based on pretty graphics and a fairly simple web page? Only because it's built on STEEM? Surely not, I thought to myself.

Much to my surprise, there was already a decent amount of Steemians buying in-game items. 

Being a snoopy detective I' am, I was eager to find out who these Steemians actually were so I visited their profiles and did some digging. I was shocked to find out that most (about 90% or more at press time) were fake accounts, all created at around the same time, only re-steemed posts and never actually posted any of their own content, and most shockingly ALL OF THEM received STEEM from @blocktrades at around the same time, red flag nr.4.

Meaning, that all of them were most likely operated by the same people that created the game itself. It seems that they are trying to artificially create interest and instill trust in their game by faking it. Fake it until you make it, right?

Below is a list of all of the accounts that caught my attention as to being their own, for the sole purpose of fakery.

This is a huge no, no for me. As if the three red flags before weren't enough, after this one, not in a million years, not even if they paid out 150% rewards based on investment to its users, wouldn't I be caught dead investing in this mess. 

There is just too many question marks left hanging in the air after their cataclysmic introduction. It's shady, vague, misleading and amateurish. Definitely not something I want to participate in. Maybe from the sidelines solely for entertainment purposes but surely not actively.

I strongly advise everyone not to spend any money on this game  unless a miracle happens and they come out with a solid business plan, publically and transparently announce their team, game mechanics, intentions, goals and a clear vision for the future.

Additionally, they need to make an official statement about the motives behind their fake accounts buying into the game.

Even then, I would be highly cautious before spending any money on this game, but that's just me. I'm paranoid when it comes to spending money that is still a scarce resource in my life and that is something that won't change in the future if I'll foolishly dump it in the next new thing that comes out on this chain of blocks or anywhere else for that matter. 

I could be wrong here and this game might turn out to be the biggest thing since sliced bread, but the fact of the matter is that they introduced more red flags in their intro posts than information about the game.

Nevertheless, you can do whatever you want with your money. Who am I to tell you how to handle it, what to do and what not to do? Just don't come back whining about how you got ripped off because YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Have a good one, cheers!
