KARPEPELES, minted 4 days after RAREPEPE and two hours before GOXPEPE resulted in the closure of the first Rarepepe Announcement thread on bitcointalk (#1615369).

KARPEPELES is the second tokenized Rarepepe after RAREPEPE, created before the scientists existed - but it was also the first not to be included in the Rarepepedirectory.
