This should absolutely be something both DAOs can get behind. We need to take our partnership to the next level.

Though some may not like it, I believe Invennium should also be involved as they offer a way to onboard web2 games quite easily.

Does not have much knowledge about marketing but a colab between Splinterlands and Hive will be great and hopefully, reduce some animosity from hive to the game.

@blewitt was just on with us and we were speaking about exactly what this could look like - sweet! Keep the creativity comin, Imp0ster!

I am glad to see we are all thinking similarly, but I had no idea that he had just talked about a similar idea. I do think that we, as a community, may have discussed some variations of this concept on discord, but I wanted to get something out there that kind of rolled up the ideas.

On that note, I'll be dropping a #TPGCHALLENGE tomorrow in the same vein as your card pack article from the other day.

If you've not seen The TPG Challenges, take a look. We've done a yabapmatt bounty and some speculating thus far, but I'm thinking bigger & wider beyond SPL gameplay for at least the next few.

And yea, man, we've some incredibly switched on community members - it's great to see more of these ideas brought up & secured in a known position on the blockchain through Hive blog posts.

Cheers dude!

Hell yeah!

I think the main ingredient we need to figure out is what is going to make people come into our booth and spend some time there learning about SL or Hive. There are tons of booths set up at these shows, and folks aren’t going to just pile in for a game they have never heard of. We need a reason for folks to want to pile in before the show even starts. I think I have one way. I’ll be popping up a detailed post this week laying out how I believe we could see success at a show like this. Hope you guys will all check it out once up and offer up opinions.

@themarkymark @gogreenbuddy Could I ask, what about my two posts has earned your downvotes?

Zaku can answer that for you.

But I asked you. I do not even know @zaku and they did not downvote me for what seems to be no reason at all, but my assumption is that you may have done similar to them in the past and they know what the chip on your shoulder is and you are sending me to them to further punish them for something they did long ago.

It is not a very good representation of personal character to answer a direct and honest question with a clear deflection, when you could just answer my question with the same or just a tiny bit more effort.

Did I do something that is deserving of a downvote or are you just trying to discourage users from posting on HIVE and have them move to some place like nostr to spend their time and effort creating content and bringing value to an ecosystem?

I would think that you would want to encourage as many users to stay on HIVE as you can, considering you seem to want to see HIVE moon, based on your stake and content.

Downvoting a users content, especially when they have just started to produce it recently, is a good way to turn them off to providing any future value or content to the somewhat struggling HIVE ecosystem. It is even worse if it is coming from a witness and without comment or explanation, even after being asked politely for a general explanation as to why the content deserved a downvote.

I am not part of any HIVE war, that I am aware of, and I am trying to produce content that I feel would be beneficial to both HIVE and Splinterlands as a whole. I am not posting random and somewhat redundant content, I am trying to post quality, thoughtful content that expresses ideas and innovation.

I find it hard to believe that someone that I do not know in any context other than this specific interaction would come to intentionally try to discourage me for anything I have put out, especially someone who seems to be well empowered and invested in the HIVE ecosystem. I would think that you would want to do the exact opposite and let me know how I could improve my content moving forward to better engage on the HIVE chain.

I do not even really care about the tiny impact on the rewards for the post, I just want to know how I became a target of downvoting, which is not typically an activity that many well intentioned actors do without good reasoning.

So, I will ask again, could you please let me know what it is that led you to downvote me for the content I have created?

Sounds like you got it all figured out then.

What I have figured out is that it is not only cream that rises to the top, shit floats too.

It depends on how much fat you eat.

Rule No 1 on HIVE: Never ever ask why someone downvoted you.
Rule No 2 on HIVE: Ignore all downvotes.
Rule No 3 on HIVE: If you cannot follow 1+2, you will get more downvotes.

I wasn't actually referring to you but more of some general "rules".

themarkymark 8 days ago

There are no rules just a bunch of people doing whatever they feel like.

I had exactly the same issue on two of my posts, so I also asked zaku, he was kind enough to explain, long story short, it's a whale war things, with one disagreeing with the upvotes of the other or didn't agree with the behaviour of the other, nothing personal to you.

imp0stor 7 days ago

Thanks for your reply on this, my main issue is not the fact that I was downvoted, because that is just a mechanic of the system, it was that I thought that I had done something that may have warranted my content to be downvoted and I wanted to know what I could do better.

I just find the deflection and not voting based on the merit of the content to be amateurish and counterproductive to encouraging users to produce good content for the chain and ecosystem.

I am over it, thing will be how they are, but I hope that the community would try to engage in more constructive and welcoming interactions to better HIVE. It seems that the witness engaged in this war thinks that this is what they are doing, but I am not sure the people watching it play out would agree.

It is what it is.

I absolutely understand that, but we may not always be in the same financial position we are in as a community. I would also think it may be a good move for the DAO to position itself to have a much larger percentage of the value in its control into SWAP.BTC or BTC on chain with the potential upsides that may be seen in the coming months, but that is a whole different discussion.

I think there have already been several discussions on yield options too, but there may be some moves that could be made to reposition things slightly or drastically and secure a better long term outlook on the value available to allocate to something along these lines.

There could also be some promo or asset sale commissioned by the DAO that could be sold exclusively in non-splinterlands assets, such as HBD/BTC/USDC/USDT or similar. This might also be earmarked for some specific allocations as part of the commissioning, but that is playing with future money and would be sourced from the existing player base, which might be like trying to get water out of a rock.
