KARPEPELES, minted 4 days after RAREPEPE and two hours before GOXPEPE resulted in the closure of the first Rarepepe Announcement thread on bitcointalk (#1615369). Nevertheless, some RAREPEPE historians, contemporary witnesses and crypto archaeologists argue that the creation of KARPEPELES was the catalyst that led to to the later scientific certification process which allowed anyone to become a creator of Rarepepe cards. KARPEPELES is the third tokenized Rarepepe after RAREPEPE, created before the scientists existed - but it was also the first not to be included in the Rarepepedirectory. For background on KARPEPELES and it's influence, please check the following messages on Telegram: Sept 13, 2016: KARPEPELES is minted and posted on Bitcointalk. Mike realized that other people start to create Rarepepes too. Until then, RAREPEPE and SHITCOINCARD were made by Mike and he didn't plan to open the creation for others. Scientists didn't exist yet. https://t.me/c/1083665179/619 Mike explains why he didn't accept KARPEPELES. https://t.me/c/1083665179/7373
